How does delaying payments to suppliers reduce capital employed?
is it the current ratio ?
It means Capital Employed
Current assets – liabilities
Delaying payments to suppliers can reduce capital employed(CE) because it increases the accounts payable on the balance sheet, which is a current liability. Since capital employed is calculated as total assets minus current liabilities, an increase in accounts payable (due to delayed payments) will result in a decrease in CE
total assets minus current liabilities.. that was silly , sry .. thanks
