Not convinced that this sale is a good move for AB's overall financial health.

A is correct, return on capital employed will drop for sure.

Wait, how does selling and leasing back affect non-current asset turnover?

I think the current ratio might actually increase, not decrease.

AB's gearing ratio will definitely be lower after reducing long-term borrowings.

I’m leaning towards option D because reducing long-term borrowings should lower the gearing ratio, but I’m not completely confident about how the lease plays into that.

I practiced a similar question where selling assets affected the non-current asset turnover, so I feel like that might be the right answer here too.

I think the current ratio might actually increase since they got cash from the sale, but I need to double-check how the lease affects current liabilities.

I remember that selling assets can impact the return on capital employed, but I'm not sure if it would definitely lower it in this case.

This one seems straightforward. The question states that the Huawei X6800 supports mixed configuration of server nodes, so the answer has to be TRUE.

This seems similar to a practice question we did on break-even analysis; I remember calculating fixed costs and revenue ratios.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the different Azure resource management tools and how they can be used to restrict VM creation.
