    Hi Tutor,

    Kindly explain further the maximum premium calculated based on the excess earnings method.

    I don’t quite understand why the examiner multiplied the tax rate by the average capital employed and then deduct it from the average pre-tax earnings. Please clarify.

    Thank you.

    The examiner has not multiplied the tax rate by the average capital employed.

    He has multiplied by the bio-technology industry’s return on capital employed (as per the instructions in the question), which also happens to be 20% 🙂
