    Please don’t expect us to solve this question for you for the following reasons:

    Firstly, you must have an answer in the same book in which you found the question. You should therefore ask about whatever it is in the answer that you are not clear about and then I will explain. If you do not have an answer in the book then you are using the wrong book – you should be using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers. They have answers and workings.

    Secondly, this is one of the most basic questions you could be asked (in fact it is far too basic to be asked in the exam). You have obviously not watched our free lectures – the lectures are a complete free course for Paper MA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

    (I am guessing that you may have been set this as a test question. If that is the case then don’t expect us to answer your tests for you 🙂 )
