ROCE Help please

When calculating ROCE does the NBV of Non-current assets get included in the Capital Employed figure or is it just Share Capital, Retained Earnings and Debentures? :confused1:

I HATE RATIOS!!!!!!

The Capital Employed figure (i.e. the one that goes on the bottom of the fraction) is:

Total equity on balance sheet (i.e. share capital, share premium, retained earnings) + non-current liabilities.

"Non-current liabilities" include : loans, preference shares and debentures.

Hope this helps.

I wonder if this might deserve a blog of its own.
I think ROCE or RONA depends on a thorough understanding of the (Balance Sheet) or Statement of Financial Position, AND the (P and L) or Income Statement.

If you understand these ~ and knowing the differences under international v UK standards is a tremendous start
Then you can see lots of ways to get the figures to balance on the position statement, and as such many ways to get the figure that goes on the bottom of the equation.

The income statement is less significant, return is the profit figure produced from operations and does not include any financing costs or taxation. But again, you could find it by working down the income statement taking off cost of sales, admin and distribution from the sales revenue or by working up from the profit available for distribution (ie the shareholders' earnings)

It is my view that these two final accounts are what you need to thoroughly understand first. Once you do, then ROCE etc will follow and your understanding of what a company's ROCE means will follow from that.
