Unbelievable...i have come this far and i am completely confused by the formula..

Moreso now since doing an FTC question for F3..

Is it PBIT - Less depreciation = income

 Then average annual income /average annual investment X100 

 Very late night tonight...GLA 

 In some of the FTC questions they are taking tax off also...

 

your formula

Is it PBIT - Less depreciation = income ?

 I would say no....

PBIT stands for Profit Before Interest and Tax....therefore in order to get the net income for the period you have to subtract the FINANCE CHARGE (Interest) and the TAX CHARGE.

The Depreciation has already been deducted above UNLESS we are talking about capital allowances....in that case you are calculating the TAXABLE PROFIT for the year and not the income.

Hope this helps. Good luck on Thursday....I'll be there too!

Kind regards

Strategic level discussion topics

Hi,

I suggest you post any queries regarding the 2010 syllabus Strategic level exams within the relevant board for better visibility; this is the 2005 syllabus board and traffic here is extremely reduced.

I have moved this discussion topic to the new syllabus board.

I hope this helps!

Best wishes,
