    Sir John,

    For capital employed I know we can calculate it two ways

    1. Total asset less current liabilities

    2. Share capital + reserves + long term borrowings

    If we are given non current assets and Net current assets. Do we less the net current asset from current asset to get capital employed?

    No. The capital employed is equal to the non-current assets plus the net current assets (i.e. current assets minus current liabilities). Think back to your studies for Paper FA 🙂

    Sir John

    Non Current Assets 700,000

    Current Assets 200,000

    Current liabilities 500,000

    So, capital employed is

    700,000 + (200,000 – 500,000) = 400,000

    Is this correct?
