Solution

To calculate the Gearing ratio, we need to divide the company's debt by its equity. In this case, the company's debt is the sum of its non-current liabilities and current liabilities, and the equity is the sum of share capital and retained earnings.

Here's the step-by-step calculation:

  1. Calculate total debt: Non-current liabilities (Borrowing - 9% bank loan) + Current liabilities (Trade payables + Other payables) = £600m + £420m = £1020m

  2. Calculate total equity: Share capital + Retained earnings = £1500m + £900m = £2400m

  3. Calculate Gearing ratio: (Total debt / Total equity) * 100 = (£1020m / £2400m) * 100 = 42.5%

So, the company's Gearing ratio is 42.5%. This option is not provided in the group of answer choices. There might be a mistake in the options provided.
