Basis Points vs. Percentage (%)

RRon4y ago
Hi, please may I know whether there is any rule that specifies that a basis point must be used in some circumstances, and percentage in the others, or both can be used in actuality? Thank you.

No - there is no rule. More often than not exam questions state things in terms of basis points, but there is no problem converting them and using %'s in your answer.
