Hi Tabeetha
Thanks for your post & welcome to Open Tuition CIMA forum.Im presuming you have an answer in the textbook for this question? Please can you share it & let me know which part you dont understand – this is easier than you posing the question blind and expecting me to answer it for you?
Is this a CIMA question – I dont recognise it from one of the major publishers if so?
Many Thanks
Cath
