The current BPP P3 textbook has capital employed = shareholders’ funds plus current liabilities plus any long term provisions for liabilities and charges (Chapter 14 pg 537) for the ROCE formula. However, for P2, and I believe in general, the capital employed formula is “Total Assets less Current Liabilities”. I know that ratio formulae have many variations, but do we have to use a different formula for P3? Or is this just an error in the textbook?
October 3, 2015 at 7:41 pm #274838I would always say that capital employed = Shareholders’ finds + Long term loans. This is also equal to Total assets less current liabilities.
No different formula is needed for P3

And what if a particular loan is interest free?…Should it be included as well???
And the company I am calculating for includes deposits from customers as long term liability…is that interest bearing??March 21, 2018 at 9:22 am #443209Also, is capital subsidy a part of shareholders funds?

During the year ended 31 March 2013, an amount of ` 5 was received towards capital subsidy for the
Hajipur Factory, Bihar in accordance with the State Industrial Policy of Bihar. Out of this, an amount of
0.71 (31 March 2016:
0.71) has been credited to the statement of profit and loss (by reducing the
depreciation charge for the year) and the outstanding amount of2.15 (31 March 2016:
2.86, 1 April
2015: ` 3.57) has been classified as government grant in the balance sheet “”How do i deal with this in capital employed?

Unlikely to be relevant to P3.
