@Bretton James 2.0 – It's good to know that it gets better. BEC feels like a mix of Managerial Accounting, Cost Accounting, Economics, and Finance. B1 & B2 are the killers for me so far. I need to pound on those MCQ, but the amount of questions sometimes discourage me. I even find myself wanting to clean the house instead of studying lol

FAR - 50, 78
BEC - 67, 72, 75
AUD - 72, 80
REG - 70, 85

To God be the glory! Forever, amen!

I know but the light at the end of the tunnel is very visible (more so for some than others) and I just need to get this done!

Plus the BEC pass rate was like 58% so we got this, no problem!

Can anybody help explain this question to me?

Pole Co. is investing in a machine with a 3-year life. The machine is expected to reduce annual cash operating costs by $30,000 in each of the first 2 years and by $20,000 in year 3. Present values of an annuity of $1 at 14% are

Period 1 0.88

Period 2 1.65

Period 3 2.32

Using a 14% cost of capital, what is the present value of these future savings?

Answer: $62,900

@CPAnd -I remember this MCQ ,scratched my head thinking about it.Currentlyjust started revising BEC and hmmm I still not sure with this one but i think thr present value factors given for this MCQ ie Present value of an annuity of $1is given.

Cash flows given are 30000,30000,20000 so its not the same for all 3 years hence we cant use ordinary annuity of $1 values given

so Present Value of $1 are to be used which we can calculate from the given values

year 1-0.88

year 2- 0.77 (1.65-0.88)

year 3- 0.67 (2.32-1.65)

Hence 30000*0.88+30000*.77+20000*1.65=$62900.

Hope this helps..

@Nishvik Thank you for your help. I have had some troubles understanding these types of questions. You definitely did a better job showing where the answer came from compared to Gleim.

@cpa2b I am 71% through B4 lectures. I am very behind because I got a really bad sinus infection and have had bad headaches every day almost for the past 3 weeks. I also had to work last weekend, which was not expected. I am feeling better and going to dr. on Monday so should speed up right now. Plan this weekend is to finish the lectures and begin working on those MCQs.

BEC: 73, 81
AUD: 85
FAR: 71, 77
REG: 74, 75...finally DONE! 😀

*This is my 2nd attempt at the CPA exam. For all of you who have failed this exam many times, given up on it, or taken a break like me, remember that it is still possible to finish what you started...failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently 🙂

@Amay

Thanks for responding my question.

I had two exams in school last week so I had to postpone my BEC plan to yesterday. I watched B1 lectures. I'm having trouble with B1-50 and 51. Since the lecture did cover the problem, I had no idea how they got units transferred in and units transferred out, as well as equivalent units of production. Does anyone know how to solve that problem?

Also, do I really need to know how to solve every problems in Becker in order to pass the exam? I'm so frustrated right now!

I Can Do This!!!!!

BEC: 89
AUD: 99
REG: 93
FAR: 8/2/2014
