    Hey all,

    I’m studying with Becker CPA Review. Chapter 3 covers business consolidations, mergers, purchases, etc. Becker says that there are two chapters: 3A which is for exams before July 2009, and 3B which is for exams after July 2009. 3A includes a lecture and homework about the purchase method, while 3B, the section I need to use for post 2009, has the acquisition method instead of purchase. However, my material doesn’t include a lecture or homework devoted to acquisition method, only the purchase method. Have any of you run into this problem as well? And if so, is there a way for me to get a lecture and homework for the acquisition method? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Have you gone to the Becker website and updated FAR? Yjey have both software and manual updates.

    The updates for the homework can be either software or printouts.

    I am on Chapter 2 – so I don't know if they have updated the homework.

    Are you using an old version of Becker? I have the 2010 version and there is no 3A or 3B, just 3. And there is a whole 20-ish pages on the acquisition method. You should try to get the 2010 version or at least that chapter for 2010. There are a lot of practice questions on the acquitision method as well.

    Your software should have the update built into it. When you try to begin the lecture it should ask you which version you need and update accordingly. If it doesn't (mine never would, it would just shut the program down) you can run the process manually. You do this by going into Start –> All programs and opening the Becker folder to run the part b. I don't remember the exact names of the folders, etc. that you need to open to do this so it may be best to call Becker support and have them talk you through it. When I called they were able to help me right away and the problem was easily solved. Good luck!
