Kindly answer my query.
While calculating Rectified PAT (to find out avg. Capital employed) Why don't we consider
overvaluation of Stock , despite of the fact that it is an error.
Also, please clarify what is the logic behind this formula of deducting 1/2 Rectified PAT from closing Capital Employed to arrive at average capital employed.

1/2 pat is deducted because u need average capital employed....

and full pat means profit for the year.. to make it average we divide it by 2

so that the final calculation of average capital empl. wil b more near to perfect

22 April 2015 overvaluation wil not effect the average capital employed... thats why we ignore this
