    It is up to you whether you use the tables or calculate yourself. They will give the same answer (apart from rounding in the tables, but you do not lose marks for rounding).

    I am not sure from your question whether you mean that you know the formula for calculating the discount factors or not, but if you do not then they are printed at the top of the discount factor tables.
