    There is no point in setting me a test question and expecting a full answer, because that is not what we are here for!!!

    You should be using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers – they have exam standard questions together with answers and workings.
    Ask about whatever it is in the answer that you are not clear about, and then I will help you.

    All that is needed for this question is covered in my free lectures, and I am not going to type them all out here.
    The lectures are a complete free course for Paper F2 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
