Incorrect

The answer is B. Comparable sales.

“The use of comparable sales is not an income approach to valuation of a business, it is a market approach. Under the comparable sales approach, the value of a business is determined by comparing it to other entities with comparable characteristics for which the value is more readily determinable.”

This was a tricky one

I'm just ready to be done and move on with my life. My new job pays for the exam (old job didn't), I get 1 hour paid study time per day (old job didn't give any study time) and I get a 5k raise once I pass my final section (yep! You guessed it! Old job would not have given me anything). The support I've received on the forum is just amazing!! Believe me when I say I'm not over failing by a few measilly points. I'm pissed!!! That's what's motivating me!!!

I put that 73 everywhere!!! It pisses me off every time I see it. When I'm pissed I study better and I'm more focused.

I could totally co-miserate. BEC was my last test to pass and then I was done. I just checked today and got a 74!! How could they?! Now I have to retake and I don't even know what to do differently. When are you re-taking?

FAR: Passed
AUD: Passed
REG: Passed
BEC: Passed

I need to join the group. Just got my 71. Ready to kick this exam's butt! I bought the Ninja MCQ a little bit ago and already started doing questions. Hubby is out of town and I'm single mom for a few days, but hopefully my kids will still give me a little bit of time to study!

FAR 82
REG 76
BEC 71, 78 (There is a light!!!)
AUD 69, 83 (DONE!!!!)

Waiting on my NTS…should get it tomorrow. Looking to schedule for July 5th. Here is my breakdown.

STRONGER – IT and Econ

COMPARABLE – Corp Gov and Strategic Planning

WEAKER – Ops Mgmt and Financial Mgmt

MCQ – WEAKER

WC – COMPARABLE

This is opposite of what I would have thought…..

[husker4]

I only budgeted 3 weeks for BEC because I always heard it was the easiest… and I'm finding B1 already to be extremely challenging 🙁

[Anonymous]

Husker..I also thought the same thing…I was 3/3 before BEC…don't underestimate it like I did!

@ Amanda 1988 on cramming

Yeah, I just started studying this week and plan to schedule for first week of July. I just started off right with the ninjaMCQ. I have Becker book for reference, but just reading that or watching the videos is too boring to me. I'd rather just use the test bank.

[silliepanda]

@ Casagarber you got your breakdown? I am still waiting on both NTS and breakdown .. I HATE THIS EXAM. This section for me is the WORST!

BEC - TOO MANY FAILS TO LIST! July 2015 I WILL GET IT!
AUD - AUG 2015- NEVER PASSED!
FAR - LOST CREDIT
REG - PASSED

[Anonymous]

@Casa

I am here! We will pass in Q3!

[MayBeeCPA]

I'm also scheduled for July 3rd. I'm working through B2 and B3 right now. Like amanda, I am leaving 1 week for review. I bought the NINJA MCQ to do as part of my review.

BEC: 74, 78

Seriously Becker? Anyone else see this in B2? Does the text mention Delphi somewhere and I am just blind?

Which of the following forecasting methods relies mostly on judgment?

a.

Econometric models.

b.

Delphi.

c.

Regression.

d.

Time-series models.

Explanation

Choice “b” is correct. The Delphi method of forecasting involves the use of multiple teams in geographically remote locations. Information is shared and gathered in a central point and compiled and then redistributed for comment. The method is highly interpersonal and requires significant judgment.

BEC: 74, 78
FAR: 73, 77
AUD: 77
REG: 67, 71, 68, 76

DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
