Hello sir,
What if there is a difference in the NPV calculated by me and the actual NPV?
For example NPV calculated by me is $1206000
Actual NPV is $1215000
This question is from Section-CThe difference is due to rounding off..
Will my answer be still valued?November 1, 2021 at 2:56 pm #639683Roundings are not a problem in the real exam.
In Sections A and B then either the question will ask for an answer to (say) the nearest thousand, or the computer will be programmed so as to accept a range of answers.
In Section C questions it is the workings that are marked rather than the final answer.November 1, 2021 at 3:59 pm #639690Whenever I checked the answers I thought I was wrong.. Thanks for the clarification.
I have one more doubt,
While doing the Section C’s, only one excel sheet is provided per question where do we show the workings? Scratch pad is included but it does not get submitted with the answers.Do we need to show the workings below the answers or is there any separate page for that?
