备考ACCA考试时,这几件事千万不要做!

发布时间:2020-09-05


各位小伙伴注意啦, ACCA考试现在非常热门,每年报考的考生都在不断增加,大家在备考的时候这几件事千万不要做,让我们一起来看看具体是哪些事吧!

1、不要浪费时间找最佳环境

 许多学生认为只要找到了最佳的学习环境,学ACCA就会变得轻而易举,所以他们花了大量的时间找寻和尝试不同的地方,寝室、咖啡馆、图书馆、草坪等等,大把的时间浪费于此。更糟的是,他们会觉得,除非找到理想的学习地点,否则根本无法学习。其实最重要的是自己内心要平静下来,只要周围环境安静,在学习时不会受到打扰即可。

2、不要把准备工作当学习

 一些学生常常“准备好要学习”,却从没有真正开始。不要把清理桌子、整理电脑文件、摊开ACCA练习册当成学习。同理,在学习的时候发朋友圈说我正在学习,也不是真正的学习。

3、不要从最难的习题开始

 一些学生认为一开始就攻克了难题,可以为之后的练习节省大量时间。但问题是,完成这些之后,你的精力和信心往往被消磨,对后续的练习不那么投入了。因此建议ACCA学员不妨先从简单的题目入手,培养做题的感觉。

4、不要一心多用

有一些学生会同时学习3到4门不同的课程,花半个小时学一门,再花半个小时学另一门。但是这样只会让你混淆知识点,往往是浅尝辄止。因此在同一时间内只学一门课会好得多,这样你才能深入理解学习材料,提高学习效率。而且,你越投入,这门课就会越简单。

5、不要忽略提示

很多讲师都会在课堂上和大纲上列出课程重点。在开始学习之前,请一定要认真考虑这些非常重要的建议,这会节省你很多时间。

 6、不要忘了做笔记

所有的阅读材料都要认真做笔记,便于在考试前回顾复习。每个人有自己做笔记的方式,你可以用你认为最有效的方式。

7、不要连休数日

尽管没有人会这么要求你,但每天你都应该学习。假如你每天至少学习2个小时,每个考试周期准备1-3门课程,那么你每周至少需要学习14个小时左右。要形成每天学习的习惯,不要三天打鱼两天晒网,不然学习效率始终得不到提高。

8、不要单枪匹马

如果你发现尽管已经尽了最大的努力备考ACCA,但还是远远落后于其他的同学,那就去找你的讲师或者助教。他们在这方面有着极为丰富的经验,可以给你提供可行性建议,让你重回正轨。

以上就是今天分享的全部内容了,各位小伙伴根据自己的情况进行查阅,希望本文对各位有所帮助,预祝各位取得满意的成绩,如需了解更多相关内容,请关注51题库考试学习网!


下面小编为大家准备了 ACCA考试 的相关考题,供大家学习参考。

2 Clifford and Amanda, currently aged 54 and 45 respectively, were married on 1 February 1998. Clifford is a higher

rate taxpayer who has realised taxable capital gains in 2007/08 in excess of his capital gains tax annual exemption.

Clifford moved into Amanda’s house in London on the day they were married. Clifford’s own house in Oxford, where

he had lived since acquiring it for £129,400 on 1 August 1996, has been empty since that date although he and

Amanda have used it when visiting friends. Clifford has been offered £284,950 for the Oxford house and has decided

that it is time to sell it. The house has a large garden such that Clifford is also considering an offer for the house and

a part only of the garden. He would then sell the remainder of the garden at a later date as a building plot. His total

sales proceeds will be higher if he sells the property in this way.

Amanda received the following income from quoted investments in 2006/07:

Dividends in respect of quoted trading company shares 1,395

Dividends paid by a Real Estate Investment Trust out of tax exempt property income 485

On 1 May 2006, Amanda was granted a 22 year lease of a commercial investment property. She paid the landlord

a premium of £6,900 and also pays rent of £2,100 per month. On 1 June 2006 Amanda granted a nine year

sub-lease of the property. She received a premium of £14,700 and receives rent of £2,100 per month.

On 1 September 2006 Amanda gave quoted shares with a value of £2,200 to a registered charity. She paid broker’s

fees of £115 in respect of the gift.

Amanda began working for Shearer plc, a quoted company, on 1 June 2006 having had a two year break from her

career. She earns an annual salary of £38,600 and was paid a bonus of £5,750 in August 2006 for agreeing to

come and work for the company. On 1 August 2006 Amanda was provided with a fully expensed company car,

including the provision of private petrol, which had a list price when new of £23,400 and a CO2 emissions rate of

187 grams per kilometre. Amanda is required to pay Shearer plc £22 per month in respect of the private use of the

car. In June and July 2006 Amanda used her own car whilst on company business. She drove 720 business miles

during this two month period and was paid 34 pence per mile. Amanda had PAYE of £6,785 deducted from her gross

salary in the tax year 2006/07.

After working for Shearer plc for a full year, Amanda becomes entitled to the following additional benefits:

– The opportunity to purchase a large number of shares in Shearer plc on 1 July 2007 for £3·30 per share. It is

anticipated that the share price on that day will be at least £7·50 per share. The company will make an interestfree

loan to Amanda equal to the cost of the shares to be repaid in two years.

– Exclusive free use of the company sailing boat for one week in August 2007. The sailing boat was purchased by

Shearer plc in January 2005 for use by its senior employees and costs the company £1,400 a week in respect

of its crew and other running expenses.

Required:

(a) (i) Calculate Clifford’s capital gains tax liability for the tax year 2007/08 on the assumption that the Oxford

house together with its entire garden is sold on 31 July 2007 for £284,950. Comment on the relevance

to your calculations of the size of the garden; (5 marks)

正确答案:

 


(ii) Determine whether your decision in (b)(i) would change if you were to use the Maximin and Minimax

regret decision criteria. Your answer should be supported by relevant workings. (6 marks)

正确答案:

Roy Crawford has argued for a reduction in both the product range and customer base to improve company

performance.

(b) Assess the operational advantages and disadvantages to Bonar Paint of choosing such a strategy.

(15 marks)

正确答案:
(b) Divestment of products or parts of the business is one of the most difficult strategic decisions. As apparent in Bonar Paint a
reduction in the products and customers served by the firm is likely to cause significant changes to the firm’s value chain and
system. Currently Bonar Paint supplies its customers, regardless of size, directly and this inevitably means that their
distribution costs are increased. The reduction in products and customers may allow a choice to be made about the costs of
supplying customers directly as against using distributors to handle the smaller customers.
In using the value chain one is looking to identify the significant cost activities and how those costs behave. Some costs may
be affected by the overall size of the firm e.g. advertising while others affected by the batch size being processed. The changeto fewer products will lead to a bigger batch size and a number of positive consequences for costs. The value chain’s major
benefit is in identifying and quantifying the links that exist between various activities within the firm and between the firm
and its customers and suppliers. In Bonar Paint’s case does a reduction in product range lead to less product failures and
consequent warranty claims? Does simplifying the product range lead to shorter lead times and better delivery time
performance for its customers? Above all, a good understanding of its value chain will let it know if it changes an activity what
are the consequences for other parts of the system.
In terms of reducing the product range, before such a decision is taken Bonar Paint must carry out a thorough analysis of the
pattern of customer demand for each paint type. In all probability it will find that 80% of its sales come from 20% of its
product range. Having given this qualification, reducing the product range can have a number of beneficial results on other
parts of the value chain. The immediate effect is likely to be that Bonar Paint produces fewer batches over a given time period
but produces them in larger quantities. This will bring cost savings but the impact on other parts of the value chain is equally
important. The beneficial effects are:
– With a smaller product range the control of raw materials and finished inventory will be simplified affecting inbound and
outbound logistics. This will improve the inventory turn and make for better product availability.
– With an improved inventory turn this will reduce the firm’s working capital needs and release significant amounts of
cash.
– A simpler operations process should facilitate staff savings and support more automation.
– Warranty claims and support costs could be reduced.
– Bonar Paint will be purchasing fewer raw materials but in greater volume and on a more regular basis. This will lead to
improved price and delivery terms from its suppliers.
– Bonar Paint can offer improved product reliability and better delivery to its customers and should improve its market
share.
In terms of operational disadvantages, these therefore are largely in terms of the impact on customer service levels seen in
terms of product range availability. Once again it is important to have accurate information on the sales and profitability of
each product so informed divestment decisions could be taken. Care must be taken to identify any paints, which though
ordered infrequently, and in small quantities are a pre-cursor for customers ordering other paints. Some important customers
may require that the full range of their paint needs are met in order to continue buying from Bonar Paint.
Reduction of the product range and customer base is an important strategic decision. Eliminating non-contributors or ‘dog’
products both in terms of paints and customers is a key part of managing the product portfolio. However, inertia both in terms
of products and customers is a real strategic weakness. In terms of the three tests of suitability, acceptability and feasibility
the analysis suggests that only acceptability is likely to be an issue. Tony Edmunds needs to be convinced that it is an
appropriate strategy to adopt. It is the lack of accurate sales analysis that lies at the heart of the problem and that is his areaof responsibility!
