Dear All

Can you please confirm whether tables are for the appendix only ( excel) and graphs need to appear on the RAP?

Thank you

Hi , Looking at the extract below,

OPERATING PROFIT 850

Finance income 50
Finance expense (100)
Profit on disposal of interest in associates and joint ventures – 100
– Share of after tax profits of associates and joint ventures 20
PROFIT BEFORE TAXATION 920

Is the PBIT for ROCE 920 +100?
Many thanks
Barbara

[barbara2012]

Thank you

[barbara2012]

I thought it was a form of interest that should be added to the PBT on the ROCE formula.

Clearly I am still confused. What sort of interest should be added to the profit before tax?

Thanks

B

[barbara2012]

Thank you

Can you clarify one important point:
For example
Operating profit £100
Finance income £5
Profit on disposal of interest in associates £ 2
share of after tax profits of associate £3
PBT £90

Am I correct to use 90+2 only as a PBIT for the roce?
Many thanks
B

[barbara2012]

Thank you , so it is not the same as operating profit?
but Operating profit + interest?

Many thanks?

Dear All

Can you please tell me what would be best to choose in order not to have problems with my rap?
I need to avoid complex organisations.
Could you tell me if GKS or Novartis are complex?

Many thanks

Many thanks for the clarification.

I will start now, I am assuming the most logical source for the start will be Wikipedia and or the company website?

Also, sorry for the stupid question, do I have to write the rap in words?

Many thanks
