    I know that there is general rule that the calculation process will be presented in Spreadsheet, and the discussion will be presented in word processor. However, in a question which requires to write a report in which one of the requirements of this report is to calculate a number such as ” calculate the company’s cost of capital”, for example in the question in the following link:
    https://www.accaglobal.com/content/dam/ACCA_Global/Students/resourceFinder/Read-the-mind-of-AFM-marker-Q1.pdf
    Is it neccessary to repeat the answer of the calculation of company’s cost of capital in the body of the report which is presented on word processor ? OR we only need to present the answer to the requirement :”calculate the company’s cost of capital” in spreasheet without repeating on word processor?

    You do not need to repeat calculations in the report itself. Just state that the calculations are in the appendix (i.e. in the spreadsheet).

    I have one more question. For this problem 1 (Lirio Co) March/June 2016 from the following link:
    https://www.accaglobal.com/content/dam/ACCA_Global/Students/prof/p4/Exam%20docs/mj16_hybrid_p4_q.pdf
    For answer to part b(ii) Advises Lirio Co on, and recommends, an appropriate hedging strategy for the Euro (€) receipt it is due to receive in three months’ time from the sale of the equity investment:
    If i present a paragraph of recommendation in spreadsheet in answer to this part for convenience as it follows the calculation in the spreadsheet , will this answer will be marked? Will my professional marks for this question be reduced?

    It will be marked and you will not lose professional marks. However it would be better to show in the word processor.
