Hi everyone,
I am just wondering if there is a mistake on page 76 of the BPP book for Financial Perfomance.

The fixed costs were previously £180,000 but with a machine the fixed costs would be £475,000 pa for the rental of a machine.
The question has put that the fixed costs have increased to £227,500 but I cannot see where they have got this figure from. Is it a misprint in the question?

I would post the picture of the question but I haven't got the option to do so on my iPhone.

Kind regards,

    A missing 0.

    180,000 + 47,500 = 227,500.

    Maybe.

    If you have a search around on the BPP site, somewhere you'll likely see an amendments section for books they have rushed out.

    Kaplan are the same.

    Thank you for your help. Seems like it's a misprint.
    I would have thought that the increase would be calculated as 475,000-180,000 = 295,000 but unfortunately this isn't the answer. I'll check on their website. Thank you once again.

    Yes your logic is more than sound.

    I'd agree with you.
