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?
I 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
Capital employed is the sum of shareholders funds and interest bearing liabilities. So should it include deferred tax and long term provision?
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??@ameera98 said:
