Gearing is Debt over Equity so surely current should be 5,200/17,000 which would be 30.6% ??I note that your answer and ACCA’s answer states zero, but why? Cant seem to spot it anywhere!!Thanks in advance October 19, 2012 at 5:17 am #105718 John MoffatKeymasterTopics: 57Replies: 54646☆☆☆☆☆The 5200 is trade payables – they are not part of gearing. Gearing is the level of long-term debt borrowing and currently there are no non-current liabilities. October 19, 2012 at 2:14 pm #105719 marky123MemberTopics: 46Replies: 193☆☆☆Thanks John.
