Return on Capital Employed (ROCE):

Return on Capital Employed (ROCE):
The Return on Capital employed indicates the profitability of the company taking into considera-
tion the overall capital it employs.
Overall capital includes both equity and debt (both long term and short term).
ROCE = [Profit before Interest & Taxes / Overall Capital Employed]
Overall Capital Employed = Short term Debt + Long term Debt + Equity
From ARBL’s Annual Report we know:
Profit before Interest & Taxes = Rs.537.7 Crs
Overall Capital Employed:
Short term debt: Rs.8.3 Crs
Long term borrowing: Rs.75.9 Crs
Shareholders equity = Rs.1362 Crs
Overall capital employed: 8.3 + 75.9 + 1362 = 1446.2 Crs
ROCE = 537.7 / 1446.2
= 37.18%
