Wiley AUD Simulation

    This had been bugging me all weekend…I took a Wiley practice exam and one of the simulations had me complete an Excel-type spreadsheet with formulas to re-calculate depreciation. The instructions stated that depreciation was straight line based on a percentage and that a half-year of depreciation should be calculated for any asset retirements or purchases. So for example, I typed in this formula to calculate depreciation on a purchased asset…

    (B5*C5)/2 where B5 = book value and C5 = provided % rate

    After checking my answers, Wiley marked each of my formulas wrong saying that the correct formula should be…

    0.50*B5*C5

    Obviously both formulas arrive at the same amount, but Wiley marked my answers wrong!! Is this something I need to worry about on the actual exam? Or is it just a Wiley glitch? Anyone have any thoughts?

    I noticed the same thing on both some of the AUD and FAR sims in Wiley. I took both exams last month, and it wasn't an issue on either.

    FAR 4/1/11 - 89
    AUD 4/15/11 - 85
    REG 4/29/11 - 80
    BEC 5/13/11 - 85
