    I took the fA2 paper on the 25th. it had a bank recon question. the answer was an overdraft amount.

    but, instead of selecting a choice A, B, C or D, we had to enter the number in a text box provided for numerical input.

    the final line was: What is the overdraft amount that will be shown on the Statement of Financial Position?

    Now, here i got confused whether to input -x or just x

    Were we supposed to enter the absolute value or the number x?

    Even tho I got a 90, I had entered it as -x, then while revising i just entered x.

    what was the correct way to enter?

    Since it asked for the overdraft, you should just enter 90 (not -90).

    (However, I would hope that they would be sensible enough when marking it to accept either – provided of course that 90 was the correct number 🙂 )

    No – the ACCA will never reply to that sort of question.
