The answer is correct (and is the examiners own answer) but the reason you are getting different is that he has not actually used the correct figures in the formula.
He gives the formula in the question and specifically tells you in the question which numbers to use for i, P, and T. Strictly i should be 12% – 5%, but the question tells you to use i as 12%.(I am actually going to remove all of the practice questions – simply because it is more important to use past exam questions, which you can either download from the ACCA website or find in your Revision Kit.
Our free downloadable Study Guide lists all the best past exam questions to practice on for each topic. - AuthorPosts
