I have been trying to do MCQ 34 Qn 1 from BPP revision kit and I don’t understand why they use year from 3-7 to calculate the amount..
I don’t understand either how they arrive at the answer for the question 2.
Can you please help me as I am stuck.
Many thanks
Lourdes
The question says that it starts in 3 years time, which is time 3.
It also says it lasts for 5 years, so it is received at times 3, 4, 5, 7, and 7
So time 3 – 7.
For question 2, whichever of the two gives the highest present value would be the one to choose.
