Nah it was much lower its non current liabilities 400/ capital employed (400+1000)

Yah at first it was 20 something percentage then with the new investment it will rise to 47

What did ppl get for the gearing in the 20 marker I got. 47

Yes I got that but didn’t know if this would be good or bad as it it not above 50% but is is close

Oh yeah after but that's just a forecast and you could say currently their ratio is low ans both values are below 50 so irs still safe

Yeah that is true but I think the analysis lies in recognising it’s a low geared business before the loan so it is not risky

I added the loan onto the NCL so it was 900, to show the difference in gearing levels after they take the loan

welp i completely forgot about gearing - i said stuff abt current ratio and how rhey could still pay short term

Then i said abt how it was long term so if interest rates rise it could mean higher costs , and then i said if demand falls , they may make a loss so cant pay the loan so may get closed down

I forgot what i put in my conclusion lol

Was the question not about the risk of taking the loan and so would need to the the impact on the gearing ratio, I would say you can use both the the ones before and after for each argument

For the 25 marker , I talked about demoncratic, autocratic, lassiez-fairz, beuaractatic.

My counter argument was that the success of the growth of the any business might be on the employees.

For the one where you had to use Appendix B, I forgot what I wrote but I calculated gearing which was 28%.
