    Gearing can be calculated in two ways: D/E or D/(E+D).

    The ACCA model answer uses the second way:

    E + D = 5,750 + 2,500 = 8,250
    D/(E + D) = 2,500/8,250 = 30%

    ROCE = profit before tax and finance costs/c.e = (1200 + 300)/(5750 + 2500) = 18%

    Interest cover = profit before interest/interest = (1200 + 300)/300 = 5
