    Sir,

    why did the examiner inflate by 9% variable costs starting from second year but not from the first year?

    Link to the question:
    https://www.accaglobal.com/content/dam/acca/global/PDF-students/acca/p4/exampapers/p4-pilot-paper.pdf

    Is it because it is written: “The following revenues and costs apply to the first year of operation” ?

    Thank you in Advance!)

    Yes – the figures given are the actual cash flows for the first year and therefore only inflate for the later years.
