    jstay, just a tip I am doing progress tests with just 25 questions at a time. from ch. 1-3 of 25 questions and then 4-6 of 25 questions. This works much better for me and my [lack of] patience! It also helps me focus more on the questions.

    AUD - 73,91
    FAR - 79 - Thank you God!
    BEC - 73,79!!!!
    REG - 92 whatttt??!

    I used Becker review + flashcards, Ninja Audio, Ninja MCQ supplement on BEC and REG.

    Done! Praise God!

    Allo Foundation, a tax-exempt organization, invested $200,000 in a 5-year project at the beginning of 2006. Allo estimates that the annual cash savings from this project will amount to $65,000. The $200,000 of assets will be depreciated over their 5-year life on the straight-line basis. On investments of this type, Allo's desired rate of return is 12%. Information on present value factors is as follows:

    AT 12% AT 14% AT 16%




    Present value of 1 for 5 periods 0.5674 0.5194 0.4761

    Present value of an annuity of

    1 for 5 periods 3.6048 3.4331 3.2743

    Allo's internal rate of return on this project is:

    A.

    less than 12%.

    B.

    less than 14%, but more than 12%.

    C.

    less than 16%, but more than 14%.

    D.

    more than 16%.

    I think the answer is B, the higher the interest rate the lower the NPV

    My exam is 11/3 so I have a few weeks. And about 350 of the Ninja questions I need to do are IT so shouldn't take long. I did use Ninja Flashcards and audio a good bit but only used the testbank a little….this time around I'm doing all the questions..

    Casa we are in the same boat pretty much! I am gong back through Becker questions (almost on ch 5) and doing Ninja too, with about 800 left to get correct. There are definitely things in Ninja I have not seen in Becker.

    Yeah…Ninja definitely has new questions….I will go back through the ones I missed later. My scores are lower in Ninja. I've scored 80s and 90s in Wiley and high 70s in Ninja with the exception of Corp Gov which I got a 98% in. I've done a lot more work on variances, cost and financial so hopefully it shows.

    For those of you taking it the first time don't take BEC for granted. I passed FAR, AUD and REG all on the first try and have now missed BEC twice by a few measily points.

    @casagarber..So would you just recommend going thru Ninja MCQ until my exam on Monday? I was thinking about going thru my Wiley CPA excel questions again, but I don't want to waste my time if the NINJA MCQ are more like the exam.

    It's hard to say….Ninja are definitely more challenging. As far as what I've seen on the test I really couldn't tell you even if I wanted to…it's all a blur after I leave. The only old questions I'm going over are the ones I missed. I will do the book questions or cpareviewforfree if I still have time left.

    @casa…Thanks..the one thing I've notice from taking these exams is that the really tough questions that we see on NINJA or Wiley rarely ever show up on the actual exam …I think we spend so much time on those large problems that we freak ourselves out
