    Sir, in today’s NPV question, I took initial investment and working capital in Year 1 rather than Year 0 (silly mistake)
    Can you tell me how many marks max would I lose for it?

    I am sorry but I have no idea because I have not seen the exam.

    If the rest of your workings were clear then I do not expect you will have lost more than 1 or 2 marks.

    Hi. I did not select the Q number in the answer booklet on top of the sheet for Q 31 &32 because there are 1-12 numbers only.
    does it have any effect ?

    I would like to ask when ordered quantity is not given could we consider purchase quantity as ordered quantity.?

    and same as for Annual Demand if it is not given could we also consider purchased quantity as annual demand.?

    In Investment appraisal question i had taken change in working capital before Taxable or operating
    cashflows mistakenly rather than it should be taken into account after calculating taxable cashflows.

    I want to ask for this particular mistake how much marks would be deducted.?

    Order quantity and purchase quantity will usually be the same.

    It is impossible for me to say how many marks would be deducted for your mistake, without seeing the whole question. Probably not many marks will be lost.
