June 8, 2024 at 3:53 pm #707004There is no point in simply typing out a full question and expecting to be provided with a full answer.
You must have an answer in the same book in which you found the question, so ask about whatever it is in the answer you are not clear about and then I will explain. (If you were given this as a test question then obviously we do not do your homework for you 🙂 )
HOWEVER this question cannot possible be asked in Paper FA because there is a sub-subsidiary. It cannot be asked until the Paper FR examination.
