There was a typographic error in the valuation question of Nov 2016 FR paper in the valuation question. How will this affect the students during evauation. It has lead many students to get confused and waste time. Are the students expected to correct the mistake also and then proceed with answering ?

Yes actully it is missing that subsidiary company MAS Ltd purchases shares in DSS Ltd. It is given that each company will acquire shares in each other but 2 of them are already holding subsidiary companies. The sentence should have been like this "PIR & MASS agrees between themselves to each (means pir and mass both) acquire shares in DSS ltd. The word DSS ltd is not printed. Acquire in which company is not stated. Students may calculated quarter of all 3 companies. But actully only DSS ltd shares are to be purchased by both the companies at their own intrinsic value. That's what I think. It may be wrong. Anyway don't take tension. Even if its a printing mistake ICAI will not award marks, they can say students are free to make any assumptions.
