Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
ROCE = (PBIT ÷ Capital Employed) × 100. Capital Employed = Total assets − Current liabilities = ₦125,000,000 − ₦25,000,000 = ₦100,000,000. ROCE = (₦18,750,000 ÷ ₦100,000,000) × 100 = 18.75%. This ratio measures how efficiently management uses capital to generate profits before the effects of financing and taxation.
