Learner Reviews

Error in Assessment Exam
Hey! I am doing FMVA course and its going well so far. I thought to provide an overall revenue at the end of the FMVA course but found out this error in assessment exam of Start up/ e commerce financial model and valuation. The answer of two questions w.r.t to total assets of 2019 and total equity of 2018 is not reflected in 4 options. With my analysis I have identified as if I increase the equity raised from 3 Million to 3.05 Million in excel. I am able to arrive at the answer from the multiple choice.
