If we go through the discussion on “How was the SFM/MAFA paper for CA Final...???” on CA Clubindia, we found that most of the student are feeling that question paper was tough or bouncer etc.
But if we go through the question paper we will find that the question paper was easiest one. Anyone can solve 75 marks question easily.
Only two questions (i) currency swap and (ii) Capital budgeting with utilities; was new to the students. Otherwise all questions were either from past exam question or from Past RTP or from Study material.
Student takes easy topic lightly and invests more time on difficult topic. But trend become like that Most of the question was from easy topic like Dividend decision, mutual fund, leasing decision, Merger Acquisition, EVA etc. which was unexpected but so easy.
Hence always give equal importance to each topic. Wish you all the best.
