    1) Sir in zse co S/D 15 , in benefits examiner has taken reduction in bad debts of 12000 and it has shown its working seperately as follows
    Current level of bad debts = 24000000*5% = 120000
    revised level of bad debts = 28800000*3.75% = 108000
    benefit of 120000-108000=12000
    Now as we will be doing on excel so now is it necessary to show its working seperately
    OR
    We can directly do in the formula cell and if the examiner would click the formula cell then the cell would show (24000000*5%)-(28800000*3.75%) so is this fine or do we have to show it seperately?

    2) In Grenarp co J15, the wealth of shareholders has decreased as they have experienced a capital loss of $0·26 per share ($3·37 – $3·11) compared to the theoretical ex rights price per share. Sir here isn’t it better to write and deduct in other way i.e capital loss of -$0.26 per share ($3·11 – $3·37)?

    1. It is fine to show it as a formula within the spreadsheet – the marker is able to see the formulae.

    2. Why is it better?? This is not an maths exam – all that is relevant is that there is a loss!
