* Gross Profit Margin -> Gross profit / Sales turnover

* Net profit Margin -> Net profit / Sales turnover

* Returns on capital employed -> Net profit / Capital employed

* Gearing ratio = loans / equity

^ these are all percentage ratios.


Current Ratio = Current Asset / Current liability (recommendable ratio is 1.5 < 2 : 1 )

Acid test ratio = current asset – stock/ current liability (recommendable ratio is 1 : 1)


Stock turnover ratio = cost of sales/ number of stock


Break Even point = Fixed cost/ (selling price – variable cost per unit)

Could someone do Q.6? My balance sheet doesn't tally.

Also, does anyone have the marking scheme for this paper?
I couldn't find it on the net.

Hey everyone I got stuck at this question when solving a past paper wondering if anyone could help me asap?

Discuss whether a firms revenue would rise, in response to price and income changes,
if the price elasticity and income elasticity of demand for its products became highly elastic [12]

Thanks :)

First of all you should know that if the demand is elastic, then increase in price could highly affect the market demand and revenue would fall sharply. But if the price is reduced, then increase in demand would result in revenue for the company but it still depends upon their cost of production.

P.S: Please tell me the year and question number for this question.

Lets pretend the expense was $5000. The proper amount would have been $5375 but it has been treated as a prepayment i.e $4625.
The difference between the two is 5375 - 4625 = 750 overstated :)
Thanks it makes so much more sense now!!! :) are you doing AS accounting too?
