    I scribbled my figures down on a piece of paper when i came out of the exam...

    Profit on income statement was £3717
    Balance sheet balanced off at £22777
    Consolidated balance sheet balanced off at £85278
    Net cash from operating activities on reconciliation was £4790
    Cash flow statement £335

    Gross profit percentages 47.5% and 45.0%
    Net profit percentages 8.5% and 12.0%
    Gearing 77.3% and 53.1% (memory was fading a little here but they were there or thereabouts)
    Interest cover 2.0 times and 3.3 times

    Hi Nagra,

    where in Derby did you do your exam? I was in Chesterfield for mine and i rekon I shall be retaking in December although i did aim to be retaking in December as i felt there was too much for me to take in with 3 exams to revise for this week and trying to hold down 2 jobs!! it's been a manic year!!
  • JointyJointy Feels At Home Registered Posts: 78

  • cs_1988cs_1988 Well-Known Registered Posts: 231

    467? Thats what I got
  • xamixxamix New Member Registered Posts: 11
    hunnie..i agree with all your figures apart from the gearing. May have used a different formula for gearing though as there are a few different ways. I used debt/debt+equity.

    i think most of my answers looked like that. I didnt get the same cash flow. mine was 476 or something like that.
    My gearing % where also different but it did increase. i know there's more than 1 ratio for gearing tho.

    SHIT! i got all those answers apart from gearing, i seriously had a mental block, and thought that the figures were as a measure of 1, basically the same as what a percentage is. so i just had 0.77 and 0.53, i still went on to describe what they meant, b******s

    yeah 467... excellent.
    Struggled with cash flow but had brainwave in last 10 mins and managed to agree it!
  • xamixxamix New Member Registered Posts: 11
    did everyone advise him to continue to invest or not? I said to continue to invest as they were still doing ok...i.e they were still performing reasonably. Not sure if i should have said not to though :glare:

  • kjg-kjkjg-kj Feels At Home Registered Posts: 68
    I got slightly lower percentages than you for the gearing, forty something and thirty something percent I think.
  • columbiacolumbia Experienced Mentor Registered Posts: 580
    Hiya

    I did the gearing wrong as well. I worked it out correctly (I think), but expressed in wrong on my memo, I think I had 0.something or other!! Oh well, I was very happy with the first part. If I fail it will be down to ratios!
  • clazaridisclazaridis Feels At Home Registered Posts: 30
    I got 47.5% & 37.5% for gearing but i did take a wild guess at the formula as i had a mental block!!

    I got 476 also i.e. -132 + 467 = 335 (sorry i didn't make that very clear :S)
