    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.

    Please ignore my last thread. I am seeing the reply from another question that I recently posted.

    Thanks
