Dear Mr Moffat.. Good day to you , hope you are doing great.
Taking year 1 and 2 as an example . Operating cash flow in real terms for year 1 and 2 are 52 and 490 respectively, converted into 54.63 and 527.68 in money terms respectively .
Now i dont know what method was used to simply get to money terms without any workings shown , however i inflated with 4.8 % inflation both the contribution and fixed cost with respective inflation rate that is getting me just shy of the answer .
for year 1 i am getting 54.4
for year 2 i am getting 537.6 instead of 527.68.is there a quick way of getting from real to money terms by simply doing something with real operating cash flows instead of inflating both contribution and fixed cost ?
Lastly plz is there any relevance to the statement that hotel prices are rising by 8 % percent in UK although the country inflation rate is 4.8 or is it just there to confuse .
Thank you !
January 25, 2018 at 1:39 pm #432949its ok.. thanks to the quick search somebody else asked this question before . i was just reading the question wrong . the inflation is 2.5 instead of 4.8., i wonder mistake like these can cost me an exam attempt . i better be careful

That is why it is so important to make sure that your workings are easy to understand for the marker 🙂
