Hello Sir,
I am not understanding how using historical cost accounting instead of current value accounting in time of rising prices the ROCE will be understated,
Can please help Sir,
Thanks,

1 & 2May 31, 2022 at 9:02 pm #657011I’m a bit confused with you mentioning ROCE as it does not appear with the question itself. Am I missing something? Do you just mean capital employed?
Thanks

Yes thats why I am confused because I am thinking of ROCE not capital employed only.
Thanks for clarification.
