    Hello sir,

    What if there is a difference in the NPV calculated by me and the actual NPV?

    For example NPV calculated by me is $1206000
    Actual NPV is $1215000
    This question is from Section-C

    The difference is due to rounding off..
    Will my answer be still valued?

    Roundings are not a problem in the real exam.

    In Sections A and B then either the question will ask for an answer to (say) the nearest thousand, or the computer will be programmed so as to accept a range of answers.
    In Section C questions it is the workings that are marked rather than the final answer.

    Whenever I checked the answers I thought I was wrong.. Thanks for the clarification.

    I have one more doubt,
    While doing the Section C’s, only one excel sheet is provided per question where do we show the workings? Scratch pad is included but it does not get submitted with the answers.

    Do we need to show the workings below the answers or is there any separate page for that?

    Tha marker is able to view whatever formulae you have used in the spreadsheet and so there is no need to show extra workings.
