I took the becker practice exam #1 : 79 average for MCQ. IMO this was harder than just doing the progress tests, but good because I am able to see some of my weak areas in a different light. Not sure if I will complete exam #2. Going to take some time and work on things I got wrong for the first one.

AUD - 73,91
FAR - 79 - Thank you God!
BEC - 73,79!!!!
REG - 92 whatttt??!

I used Becker review + flashcards, Ninja Audio, Ninja MCQ supplement on BEC and REG.

Done! Praise God!

oops – I left out a part 🙂

In relation to my test I just took, I am having a hard time with payback method and when to inlcude the tax considerations. I have noticed in becker with the more detailed questions over payback, depreciation and tax considerations are inlcuded.However, I saw a question in ninja that asked for the payback method and I calculated it using the depreciation (like above) and got the question wrong because it said depreciation is not a cash flow and so it is not included.

So now my understanding on this topic is very fuzzy. Can anyone give light to this on how to know when to include non cash flow items such as depreciation? The becker final included a few of these and I got them wrong because I had in my mind the depreciation should not be inlcuded because it is not a true cash flow item.

[jstay]

lauren, believe they are! its just not weighted to the discount the time value..i believe there was a question n final exam #1 and i had included it. answer was something like 2.09 years?

That “test your might” is confusing– the question asked about the office manager's salary, but then all the explanations are about distilled water?

jstay – that is the average of the 3.

Ok, yes one of the ones I missed is the one you are referring to. I will have to do a few more of these to get my facts straight so I dont get caught up confused again.

When is your exam? Sorry I am sure you have said it before but I can't keep everyones dates straight!

Test Your Might is a hot mess today.

Wrong answer explanation posted – and wrong answer, period.

Fixed 🙂 (I think)

[lauren725]

I don't think I have ever done so many MCQ for a section before. I know they said do MCQ until you puke and I think I am almost to that point!

Has the BEC contents changed since 2012. If not i can reuse my material form becker.

Please advise.

[Kimboroni]

Jeff, isn't the office manager's salary both a fixed cost (B) and an administrative cost (D)? I can see how one answer might be better than the other, but I would have chosen B since that's a specific term in cost accounting. And then the answer says it's not a variable cost but doesn't say why D is better than B.

D is a better option…this is an example of a tricky exam day question…this question is from the AICPA.

[Kimboroni]

I get that, but why does it say “Variable cost is incorrect” when that isn't one of the options?
