Good will?

Hi,

While calculating why do we include proposed dividend in calculation of FMP.I mean why  we are not deducting as liability from the total assets to for calculation of capital employed?

Capital Employed = Assets (-) Liabilities 

In the above formula liabilities are those ones which are actual liabilities . Proposed dividend is not deducted because it is not an actual liability . The company may in future either increase or decrese the dividend declared . However in case it was Declared Dividend then it is an actual liability and hence it is deducted from the assete to calculate Capital Employed .

harshal is right proposed dividend is not liability
