    Hi

    I was trying the above question and it states that general inflation is 4.7% per year for sales and costs. When I applied 4.7% to my first year figures they were correct but for my second and subsequent figures they were wrong. For my 2nd year figures I applied 9.4% inflation but when I check my answer with the acca solution I am out by a couple of dollars. Am I applying the right inflation by increasing inflation by 4.7% for each subsequent year?? Years 3 & 4 where also out by a couple of dollars

    You really should watch the free lecture on investment appraisal with inflation.

    To inflate for 2 years you multiply by 1.047^2, you do not simply multiply 4.7% by 2 !!
    You would lose marks badly even if it happens to be only a few dollars different.
