- i assume all p4 questions, especially in calculation of npv have inflated each items (eg sales , cost) in specific inflation rates. therefore we have used monetary inflation rate incorporated into WACC ??am i correct ?
- then is there any questions that have used real inflation rate to discount the cashflows ? Because so far i ve only seen wacc to discount to the cashflows.

Real vs monetary inflation rate

There is no such thing as the 'real inflation rate'!!
The only time it is likely that we will the real cost of capital when it is a perpetuity (because it is impossible to list the nominal cash flows for a perpetuity), albeit we usually used the dividend valuation formula in order to achieve this. This occurs in plenty of past exam questions.
