NPV with inflation

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.

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.
