    With regards to the capital allowance of the construction cost, the first year should amount to 930 mil pounds, right…?

    However should we assume this tax savings to occur at the end of Year 1 or Year 2…?

    thanks…

    Yes – the tax saving on the first capital allowance is 930M

    Tax is payable in the year the flow arises and to the first saving is at time 1.

    Nominal cash flows 54.63 527.68 2474.75 1049.95 1076.20 ??

    The real flows have been inflated at 2.5% per year to get the nominal cash flows.

    The first flow (52) is in 2 years time, so 2 years inflation is 52 x 1.025^2 = 54.63

    Similarly for the other flows.

    Hi all,

    When we use purchase power parity theory to forecast exchange rate, we have to correctly identify the home country and the foreign country, right…?

    Just wondering in this question, between UK and US, which is the home country and which is the foreign country…?…is there any indicator in the question on this…??

    Sir John

    In the same question using PPT the value of S1 from the formula is 1.53 but in
    printed answer in Kit taken 0.654 . Similar with S2 value 1.56 but in
    printed answer in Kit taken 0.6410.

    some sort of exchange indirect code taken.

    Sir what is it & why it is taken.

    I am confused.

    Stacie : Elias answer is correct

    uuuu: I have answered the same question asked by you elsewhere a few minutes ago – please do not post the same question twice.

    airyami: the quote tells you which way the currency is being quoted. In Blipton you do not actually need to change the quote by inverting – you can either multiply by the given quote or divide by the inverted quote. It gives the same result!
