The answer under the heading ''salaries and other payments'' says the below paragraph: While annual receipts from customers & payments to suppliers are forecast to rise during the forecast period by 8.5% & 9.4% (from 20X6 to 20X9) respectively, the amounts attributable to salaries and other operating payments are only forecast to rise by 4.1%. My query is: 1. I cannot come up to the 8.5% & 9.4%. 2. I cannot come up to the 4.1%. Thank you in advance.

Hi Kim, Re 8.5 & 9.4% - understood thanks :) However, re the rise of 4.1%, I still cannot understand it. Thanks

The sum of the 2 x 6 months of the 2nd year forecast is 4.1% higher than the current year actual - i.e. it is 4.1% over 2 years - or you could calculate as 2% a year.

One last thing. RE Sale of investments It is saying ''Management is therefore expecting the shares to increase in value by $150,000 in the space of 2 years, which represents a 43% rise.'' I cannot understand how he came up to the $150,000 figure. Thanks.
