Costing of CA Final or Executive ??

Costing of CA Final

I did the change and wrote a note in the answer sheet.

Hope it is correct

I am also modified the question and answered

It cant be '16'.................That was a mistake..............At times i wonder whether Institute does such things on purpose.....................It was very confusing.....................But i believe those who must have taken '36' wont face a problem but what about the others???

M nt sure whether i missed something or not but even in Q5(a) relating to Standard Costing, I felt the confusion...............The no. of units were greater than the Selling Price amount & nowhere it was mentioned that Selling Price is p.u.................That looked absurd to me.........Did any1 face the same problem or did i missed something in the question................. 

IN DIRECT TAX PAPER TOO THERE IS A SPELLING MISTAKE...  I HAVE FAILED BY NOT SCORING JUST 2 MARKS... BUT IN THE FINAL QUESTION PAPER IT SELF THERE IS SPELLING MISTAKE... ICAI IS TAKE A CHANCE ON THE LIFE OF A STUDENT JUST OF 2 MAKRS.. BUT WHAT IS COST OF MISTAKE IN THE QUESTION PAPER...  < CREDIBILITY?>

i have attempted that question without realising the mistake in the question, as there was shortage of time, i didnt get to resolve the question on realising the mistake when the question was unsolvable, will we get full marks for their error in the question paper? i hope they do, i m scared coz i might not pass just because of that error.? It will cost me an attempt. Is there ay solution to this?

HEY KHUSHBOO THERE IS A CLEAR CUT MISTAKE....

U SHOULD PROCEED WITH 36....

IF U DONE THAT PROBLEM FULLY.....

THEN ONLY THEY WILL CONSIDER AND ALLOT BETTER MARKS ....

I PROCEEDED WITH 36,,,,, BUT WILL THEY ALLOT FULL MARKS FOR MISTAKE??/// I HAVE DOUBT

Hi Mayur,

U r right , but the problem is i havent solved it according to 36 i solved as per 16 the entire question, then i realised that was an error, that what i am scared about, can v write to the institute or do anything about it, coz i m worried

hi khushi,,, the only thing we can do is pray god

for me in grp 1 there are no issues, only grp 2 iam worried about aggregate,,, and if they award good marks in this partiular question

i can go through,,,,,,,, hope for the best dear,,,,,
