    Thanks Lol could not for the life of me figure that out.

    Really appreciate it


    No probs.

    Hi guys has anyone done sim 2 in the 2010 paper.. Organic beef co ltd?
    Can someone tell me how they are working out the future earnings?
    I get the 1st year increasing by 40% but cant work out where the figures for years 2-5 are coming from?

    i cant remember, and i dunno is it do that specfic piece but i think someone said organic beef solution was wrong somewhere


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 370 ✭✭Dmac_Aca12


    Ya the guys in chartered grinds school said it was just a complete translation error from fig in another question but that end results are right I think

    Has the exam format changed since the likes of Tidy Homes, it doesnt seem half as clear as what it is now to indetify what the examiner is looking foor. Plus in 2010 there where 21 indicators 2011 19 2012 indicators 17 indicatores. Surely they have realised if they what conclusions and recommendations cant ask lots of indicators? Any thoughts on this or did anyone pick up from lectures that FAE has evolved to the desired level or could they revert back to 2010 standard.

    Ron, you have a point.

    I wonder is there any value in taking something to deliberately slow down the digestive process.

    Maybe there is.

    Something like that would be horrible to happen. Must get the diet 100% in the run up here.

    Also, need to get into fapstronaut mode.

    Who thinks there is a chance of issues like CAT and AGRI-RELIEF coming up

    Thank you that was the figures i had, when i looked at the solution i couldnt understand where theres was coming from


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11 FAEalltheway


    yeah but with it moving to only 2 sims does that mean they might ask 5/ 6 indicators in each or am i correct in thinking the paul said max that he could write in the mock was 9 so therefore exam will be 9?

    Can someone please explain this whole issue of Earnings cap of €115K. I'm not sure I understand. Is it the same as spreading the pension over a certain amount of years

    deductible pension is based a % of your earnings depending on ur age. so can only get a deduction for pension to a max earnings of €115000 per year , so 115000*40% =€46k, (thats if your over 60)this is the max deduction u can get in a year! the % depends on your age,so if u earn €150k in a year, your 60 and your pension contribution is 60K, your only allowed 46k deduction in your tax return and u can carry forward the unused credit to the next year.

    sorry bad at explaining
