    Dear Sir

    When determining which option will maximize profit after tax for the parent, under the fixed plus variable cost plus 30% option, why wasn’t the withholding tax of 15% paid in Umbaga taken into consideration?

    Thanks

    Where are you finding this question? I am looking at the original exam question (there has only ever been one called Polytot) which was question 2 of the June 2004 exam. There is no mention of tax or of a country called Umbaga.

    Dear Sir

    It is found in the BPP Media 2016 edition of Revision Kit.

    Polytot (6/04 amended)
    The question mentions Umgaba but the answer mis-spelled it as Umbaga.

    The original question does not mention Umgaba either 🙂

    BPP obviously changed the original question because there was nothing remotely like what you refer to in it. However BPP do not have this question in the current edition of their Revision Kit and so I am unable to help you 🙁
