Forums › Ask ACCA Tutor Forums › Ask the Tutor ACCA AFM Exams › June 2014 Q2 Inflation rates
Can you please tell how to get the sales revenue and direct vodt using inflation rates given in the question.
I am not getting it
The sales at time 1 in current prices are 23.03
The inflation is 8% per year.
Therefore the actual sales at time 1 are 23.03 x 1.08 = 24.87
The sales at time 2 in current prices are 36.60
Therefore the actual sales at time 2 are 36.60 x 1.08^2 = 42.69
The sales at time 3 in current prices are 49.07
Therefore the actual sales at time 3 are 49.07 x 1.08^3 = 61.81
It is the same procedure for the 4th year and also for the variable costs.
I do suggest that you watch my free lectures (and if needed the relevant lectures for Paper F9, because this is revision from Paper F9. In the F9 lectures I explain why we do this, because it is vital for the exam that you understand why and are not simply following a rule.)
