    Hi, when I am trying the BBP practice kit questions I found out a issue in computation.

    For example:
    Question 162 involves in indexation allowance, the answer compute it as below:
    Indexation allowance
    (263.0-215.1)/215.1X£8000=£1781

    Although I used the same equation to compute, I firstly got the result of the part
    (263.0-215.1)/215.1=0.223
    which makes the indexation allowance £1784

    Therefore different from the standard answer.

    So which method should I use in exam?

    Thanks.

    When re-indexing the share pool you do NOT round to a 3 dp indexation factor – hence your difference
