when the question requires a plug-in answer, then how many decimal places are required?
in one of the question in study hub, the question requires the candidate to answer in the nearest million and the correct answer is 6.3. While in another question, the correct answer is 4.
while in another when it is answer in the nearest cent then the correct answer is 1.64.
my analysis is, if the answer is a whole a number then no there is no need for decimal places. Hence, no need to write the answer as 4.00 in the area provided. While if the answer just has only tenths place then no need to write the answer as 6.30 if the answer requires nearest million.
please can you help me out.
My second question concerning answer box is regarding answer to the nearest $’000. When such a requirement is present, then all the answers take 3 zeros common. Hence, if the answer is 143000 then 143 is plugged in. This happens for all questions in study hub except one. my question is if the same requirement is made in the exam, then what should be my answer. should i take three zeros common and answer it is as 143. Please help me out
can you give any general tips concerning answering in the answer box type of questions please?
Hi,
Your should present the figures based on what the financial statements are prepared in, usually $’000s. You wouldn’t lose any marks in the exam for rounding.
Thanks
Sorry tutor, I used the wrong term. I mean for the answer box Section A and Section B questions. How do I understand what type of answer is required. Is it one decimel space or two since in the answer box for one of the questions, it was answer in the nearest million and the correct answer was 6.3 not 6.30.
