Why are outside liabilities deducted from total assets to calculate capital employed?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because only the owners’ net capital invested is needed

Capital employed represents the net funds actually invested in and used by the business. When the total assets figure is used, it includes resources financed not only by the owners but also by outsiders such as creditors and lenders. Those outside claims must be deducted to find the portion attributable to the owners’ capital: Capital employed = Total assets − Outside liabilities. For example, if assets are ₹10,00,000 and outside liabilities are ₹3,00,000, capital employed is ₹7,00,000. Therefore option A is correct. Liabilities are not profit, assets may include non-cash items, and goodwill is an intangible asset rather than always a liability.
