    Hi Mr Moffat,

    Can I be clarified? ROCE has different formulas as I encountered using the BPP revision kit.

    ROCE= EBIT/
    Long-term funds *

    in which Long term funds could either be:
    * long term liabilities plus equity
    or
    *total assets less current liabilities

    Another one is:

    ROCE = Average Annual Profits/Average Investment

    in which ave annual profits = total profits / # years

    and average investment = (initial investment + scrap value)/2

    Are there any differences between the two?

    They are both the same.

    The only question is as to whether you use opening long-term capital, or closing long-term capital, or average long-term capital.
    As to which to use, it depends on what is required in the question and what information is given in the question.
    I do explain this in my free lectures.
