Gearing Calculation

KKerry5y ago
When I was working on Kaplan Textbook Practice Question Section A Question 1 Vadener Plc, I came across calculating gearing ratio, in their sample answer, "total borrowing" = "long term liabilities" + "short term loans". During actual exam, can I assume "long term liabilities" means long term borrowings?

I do not have the Kaplan textbook. However long-term liabilities does mean long-term borrowings. They mean exactly the same thing.
