question 1(a) regarding to ashridge portfolio, which part of the question give hints that Stuart Roam Warehousing is a heartland business?
February 21, 2018 at 5:48 am #438170It doesn’t seem obvious to me either that it is a heartland business needing more nuturing. I don’t think I would have used Ashridge. I would have simply talked about synergies and related diversification.
February 21, 2018 at 7:04 pm #438262This probably going to sound very basic. When working out the financials on this question I can see that SRRT generated 57.39% of the income for the group but I don’t see where they get 54.8% operating profit in the answer. I’m sure it’s obvious but I cant see it. Can anyone help.
Thanks
February 21, 2018 at 9:34 pm #438280Work out total group profit by adding up revenue x operating profit % for each division, then calculate SSRT’s profit as a % of the total. Gives 54.8%.
May 22, 2018 at 8:00 am #453298Hello
Could you please explain how the market share is calculated?
Thanks
May 22, 2018 at 12:49 pm #453353It is normally the company’s revenue divided by total market revenue.
So for 2013, rail: 112/3150 = 3.6%
