    Pardon me its been a few years since I completed F3.

    1. Gearing Formula is D/(D+E) or would it be D/E?

    2. PPPT: Inflation rate in US 4% and UK 2% $/GBP 1.75 calculate the 3 month rate

    Two ways a) 1.75(1.04/1.02)^3/12 = 1.7585
    b) 1.75 x (1+0.04/4)/(1+0.02/4) = 1.7587
    They yield slightly different answers. Which does the CIMA examiner prefer for examination purposes? Would you know?

    1 It can be either.

    2 Strictly, the first is more accurate.

    1. The recommendation is for gearing not to exceed 50% this wld refer to D/(D+E)?
    and what is the recommended figure for D/E?

    2. PPPT I shalI use this method 1.75(1.04/1.02)^3/12 = 1.7585 then in the exam.
