I ran K solving but I haven't changed my initial K factor. Why have my results changed?

Once K is solved, K is rounded up to 1dp. Before K solving is run, revenue is assumed to be equal to the revenue requirement. Over five years, revenues from solved Ks will always be higher than the revenue requirement although in some years the value may be lower.
