U need to do workings before deriving main answer. It can be done at start itself. Suppose for better presentation say u need to prepare trading account profit and loss and balance sheet. Leave first 3-4 pages based on no of items in trial balance and then start working note. (For NPO, partnership,final account) For shares leave 4-5 pages for journal entries. For consignment leave 2 pages and continue. If u can't estimate then do at the start itself.


Both are fine . But it is preferred to show main answer first then do working notes...
