    Hi all,

    In April 2016 Q20, the examiner has calculated ROCE using the profit after interest divided by equity + debt. Wondering if this is a mistake since ROCE uses capital profits before tax/interest, so the profits should add back the interest. Clarification on this would be helpful.

    Thanks,

    HI. Yes, the correct version of this ROCE measure should include "profit before tax and interest" in the numerator.
