dc.description	PERFORMANCE OF CANDIDATES The performance of the students in the paper was generally better as the pass rate improved to 36% compared to the 28% in the November exams sitting. Overall pass rate even though improved but still required further improvement for the paper which historically has been experiencing low pass rates. The possible reasons for the improved performance were as follows:  Generally better preparations by students as answers provided showed some level of improvement.  Improved tuition services provided especially at the Accra and Institute cantres.  Better knowledge by students on exam preparation and questions answering techniques.  Better access to study materials especially the out of Accra centres. • No evidence of copying in the exams was noticed.	en_US
dc.description.abstract	STANDARD OF THE PAPER The standard and quality of the paper was generally satisfactory. The questions generally covered the major subject areas and also appeared balanced for both quantitative and essay type aspects of the syllabus. The questions were easy to understand and apply. No difficult questions were noticed except the (a) part of Question 2 where the dividend per share stated in the question appeared to be unusually high relative to the price per share stated in the question creating unusual cost of equity rates or numbers as high as over 700% which created some confusion in the minds of students. Additionally, question 5 (b) appeared to have used historical years to represent forecast years and to calculate the present values for business valuation purposes. It was also observed that generally no sub-standard questions were set in the paper and all questions were considered normal and standard for that level. Mark allocations appeared generally satisfactory relative to the nature of questions.	en_US
