I made a 64 on the first try at BEC in October 2016 strictly using Gleim. I am trying something different this time around using the NINJA notes to go with Gleim. I am sitting for the exam January 20th. Hopefully this works, but any suggestions using Gleim with NINJA?
Hey everyone. I'm sitting on 1/23. This is my first attempt with any exam, but I've already gotten quite a bit of advice from this forum. I'm using Wiley CPAexcel, Ninja audio, and MCQs. I started studying on 12/3 and I'm about half way through the lessons and so far capital budgeting is kicking my butt (especially NPV and IRR).
Break-even points are all about doing algebra. This problem, in particular, has to do with proportional algebra since there are two products. In other words, change 75% to 3x and change 25% to x. Doing this will make them proportionate, so it will now be 3X(10)+X(25)-3X($6)+X(13)=Fixed Cost(312,000)
55X-31X=312,000
X=13,000, but proportionally to break even you need 3(13,000)=39,000
Pharaoh-the stupid Becker mnemonics didn't work for me, I literally had to draw it out and it works for me to memorize
basically
actual q actualQxstandard price standard Qxstandard price
x
actual price
And then draw all those price and efficiency variances-this is the only way I understand. I remember this from my cost accounting classes from last year sadly:) LOL
Thanks @anyatver I had to do the same. I couldn't find any other way.
How about that Planning and Risk Management section, lots of small subjects and details and seems like just memorizing all of them! Or this is a section that I will get it when I go through MCQs?
Believe it or not, if you know the content, it's mainly making complete sentences that hits all the questions within the writing topic. Work the MCQs enough and the writing will come easy. You got it!!!
