Hi
I note that some questions inflate cashflows from year 1 and some like Dec Mock from Y2, how can I guess?
Hi,
Kindly specify which question you are referring to ?
Generally speaking, the answer to your question will be guided from READING THE QUESTION requirements carefully.
Regards, Kevin Kelly
Q25 & 26 in the BPP R&R – inflation starts inY1, the Dec Mock it starts in Y2
It’ll be in the question normally
– if it says inflation in 5% and current cost of labour is $10. Cost in Year 1 will be $10.50.
– if it says cost of labour in Year 1 is $10 you don’t inflate until Year 2.
Reading time is key for identifying this stuff – but if you can’t tell assume and state the assumption.
