managerial accounting tutorial

fna 2002, managerial accounting, is really not a very difficult module.

however, it turns out that only during the time when i have to go up and present the tutorial, it became difficult. the topic for this tutorial, tomorrow, is on flexible budgeting and overhead variances. all in all, the whole thing doesn't fit too well in my mind. couldn't really quite understand the logic. i've learnt many costing methods in managerial accouting, but this standard costing is a little weird... and the overhead allocation doesn't seem to differ to greatly from the normal costing for overhead.

thatz why, i kinda struggled to do this tutorial. some of the questions are not even taught in lecture, nor in the textbook. the bugger (author) had the cheek to mention in the question that "this is not covered in the textbook. However...... (and the question continues)". then i have to think until siao lor....

other questions are covered, but the phrasing is ambiguous. half the time i have to guess what exactly it is asking. question too long (it tells a story first before asking a question), ambiguous terms, or same term but the textbook gives different definition to the term at different page. blur....

now that the presentation slides have been sent to the lecturer, there is no return. hahaha.... juz have to see if i made my "guesses" intellectually enough....

sickening.... why i so unlucky? why i dun get to present when i feel the tutorial questions are easier?

but alas! one good thing... no, two good things happened to me today. one of them is, i will soon be $700 richer! i love elections. the other thing is..... next time lah!
