    I really do not understand why you are asking me because the answers are all on the ACCA website, and also I have uploaded lectures of me working through every question in the December 2014 exam (and also every question in the specimen exam)!!

    Also, you have not written the whole question – there are also bank loans of 6,200 in the question.

    The gearing is: ((4,000 x 1.05) + 6,200 + (2,000 x 0.8)) / (2 x 8,000 x 5) = 15%
