Shortforms

Exams

Sir, in exam can we write shortforms like EBIT, PBT, PAT, EAESH, etc. Is it allowed or will marks be deducted for such shortforms?

But, in exam, every time if we write EAESH as "Earnings available to Equity Shareholders", won't it consume a lot of time? Similarly, in all formulae, if write EPS, MPS, PBT, PAT, etc. in full form, it would consume a lot of time. Can we use shortforms and in the end put a heading as "abbreviations" and list them in the following format: ABBREVIATIONS USED: EPS = Earnings per share MPS = Market value per share PBT = Profit before tax and so on. Is this way of presentation allowed?

Try to use full form ....if u feel that it consumes time then u may write " Earnings available to Equity Shareholders"(EAESH) like this ( full form and abbreviation in brackets) when u are using it for first time then use the abbreviations
