the initial selling price in year 1 is expected to be 100 per unit before increasing with inflation rate annualy …inflation rate for year 1 is 4%…
So now at year 1 will the price be 100 or 100×1.04??
Our teacher always advised us that inflation starts from year 1 even in FM paper calculations i always started to do s.p×inflation rate- for year 1
S.p×inflation rate^2-for year 2
S.p×inflation rate^3-for year 3
I am afraid that your teacher advised you wrongly.
If the flow is quoted at current prices then the flow at time 1 will indeed be inflated.
However this question (and it is very common in the exam) specifically says that the selling price is 100 in the first year. Therefore the time 1 flow is 100 and it only inflates in the following years.
I suggest that you watch my free Paper FM lectures on investment appraisal with inflation, because it was the same in Paper FM (was Paper F9).
