Hello,
Question: June 2017 DS 1(ii)
Assumptions underlying the current KPI calculations:
How did the examiner calculate the loss of $39m for the catering business and for the Organic growth from 7.2% to 3.9%?
Am unable to get the figures of $39m and 3.9%.
Kindly help.
Thank you.

June 2017 Question 1(ii)
8y ago#1Loss = 245 (revenue, note 6) x 6.5% (op profit margin) - 55 = -39
Total organic growth as stated = 7.2%
Growth = (Rev 2016 - Rev 2015)/Rev 2015 = 0.072
= (1542 - Rev 2015)/Rev 2015
So, Rev 2015 = 1542/1.072 = 1438.
Without the acquisitions, Rev 2016 would be 1542 - 48 = 1494.
That would give growth of (1494 - 1438)/1438 - 3.9%
