Geometric Smoothing Rule seems to be the best because it takes a smoothed % of the inflation adjusted average of the last year and the beginning MV this year and rolls down, meaning the recent year counts for more than the prior year so it reflects current info. I know they rank this as the best approach.
Now the 3 Year smoothing rule- in mock exams, I’ve seen mixed opinions. I know it can be more volatile since you’re using values for the past 3 years at an equal footing which can be outdated and irrelevant, however is this BETTER or WORSE than a simple smoothing rule? I don’t see consistency in the answers, and there’s not a lot of detail in the curriculum on these two.
