Inventory at 30th April 2012 = $81 250
Inventory at 1st May 2011 = $ 65000

Rate of inventory turn over = x /average stock
x / 73175 = 10
Cost of sales = $731250

Revenue = $731250 is 65% of revenue,
Therefore
100% : x
65% : 731250
x = 1125000

do you guys think CIE might make a new type of paper for accounts p4? like new types of questions
cox for maths they made it a lil tough and i heard bio as well
is it a good or a bad thing if they change it? if they do, thresholds will most likely reduce right?

Math wasn't really a "new" version. All they did was change the cover page of the answer sheet, give us 10 instead of 11 questions and bring the standard of the paper higher. There were questions that carried 8 and 5 marks as opposed to the usual p1 3 to 4 mark questions. But everything was in syllabus.
Don't know about bio.

As for p4, I honestly can't tell. You know in the H randall red textbook (the latest one) says capital reconstruction won't be tested....and it came in 2013!

Oh yes, hopefully the threshold drops.

I personally use the older version of H randall ( the pink one). The author was sane back then.

Btw do you have notes for IAS?
