SCENARIO: AgriSteel Heavy Industries manufactures specialized farming machinery. Draft financial statements for the year ended 30 September 20X6 show a draft net profit of $1,200,000. The following adjustments are needed:

  1. Closing inventory was valued at cost $450,000, but includes damaged tractors costing $50,000 that can only be sold for $30,000 after $5,000 repair costs.
  2. A machine bought for $200,000 on 1 Oct 20X5 was incorrectly charged to repairs. Depreciation is 20% reducing balance.
  3. A provision for a legal claim of $80,000 needs to be created.
  4. The allowance for receivables needs to increase by $15,000.

Assume the final adjusted net profit is $1,240,000 (use this as PBIT for simplicity). If AgriSteel's Capital Employed is $8,000,000, calculate the Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) percentage. (Enter the number only, rounded to one decimal place)

How to approach this question

Divide the adjusted profit by the Capital Employed and multiply by 100.

Full Answer

ROCE = ($1,240,000 / $8,000,000) × 100 = 15.5%.

Common mistakes

Using the unadjusted draft profit ($1,200,000) instead of the adjusted profit.
