    Welcome to my forum!

    I have no recollection of every seeing a net loss scenario. In this case, or if the reporting entity has low profitability, I suggest a % of total revenue or assets would be more appropriate.

    Thank you for the information – of course I only see what is published. The thing to remember if you ever see something that you haven’t come across before having worked through a kit is that you are “not alone” – and there will be lots of other candidates who are similarly bemused. Sometimes you have to think “outside the box” – if something doesn’t make sense by all means say why and suggest an alternative.

    You are welcome!

    As you have asked an entirely different question on another topic I am going to answer on a fresh post – as it is more helpful to students to be able to find Qs & As through their subject titles.
