    Acid test ratio:
    (Current assets - Closing stock)/Current liabilities
    144000-55000=89000/34000= 2.62:1

    The return on capital employed for 2012 was 11%
    Calculate the ratio for 2013?
    Net profit 117000
    Capital employed 670000
    17.46%

    Much appreciated rehmanvohra,

    Could I ask you were you got the figure of 670,000 for the capital employed?


    Also on another note, how would I explain 8% debentures for 2018/2019?


    Thanks again for your help
