    Hi,
    Thank you for these free resources, the tuition is amazing!

    I have a question about example 7 on page 83.

    I followed the answer until I got to the Issue costs less the tax relief:
    ‘Issue costs less tax relief = $0.12m – 0.12 x 0.25 x 0.943 = 0.092’

    Please can you explain this calculation please. I am unsure about the ‘-0.12’ in particular.

    Thanks,
    Louise

    So issue costs of $0.12m have to be paid at time 0.

    These get tax relief of 25%. However, the tax relief isn’t enjoyed until the end of the year: time 1

    The -0.12 x 0.25 x 0.943 represents the tax saving of 25% enjoyed at time1 where the discount rate is 6% [so 1/(1.06) = 0.943]

    Some of the larger publishers produce study material (eg BPP or Kaplan).

    You should download the pre-seen material for your exam in advance from CIMA and get to know that.

    The important skill (absent from the OT exams) is writing essay-type answers in the time available.
