Hello Sir,
In the calculation i take (0.45/0.37) root of 0.25 -1…
the answer i get in my calculator is 5.015% and in the exam answer they take it as 5%…. due to this small difference my answer gets completely changed to 9.90$ instead of 9.45$…
will this be considered as wrong answer? how do we avoid such situations in the exam?
Thank you
Manan.
Check your arithmetic again 🙂
The growth rate is indeed 5.015%, but if you use this in the formula you get a market value of 9.49 (not 9.90) and of the choices available the nearest is 9.45.
Ah!.. sorry my calculation was wrong.. yes it is 9.49…
thank you for your reply.
You are welcome 🙂
