    Hello John,

    I’m working through chapter 9 on the example 1 review of Repse Plc.

    Please could you advise me how (in the standard answer) you arrive at the “book values” percentages in the gearing analysis (yr 1 – 50%, yr2 34.6% etc)

    I’m sure the answer is staring me in the face but I can’t get to it!!

    Many thanks
    Marky

    Gearing = Long term debt/equity [ie shareholders’ funds]

    Year 1 = 11,300/22,600 = 50% Year 2 = 9,000/26,000 = 34.6%
