A bank loan would increase gearing for sure.

I think a debt issue makes more sense for ROCE changes.

I feel like a bonus issue wouldn't really change gearing, but it might have some effect on ROCE. I need to think this through more.

Okay, I've got a strategy here. I'll start by defining gearing and ROCE, then consider how the given events could influence the components of those ratios. That should help me identify the two most likely explanations.

This is a good opportunity to apply my knowledge of financial ratios and how they're calculated. I'll need to think through how things like revaluations, share issues, and new debt would affect the numerator and denominator of each ratio.

Okay, let's see here. The key is to identify the events that would affect both of those metrics. I'm thinking a rights issue or debt issue could do it, but I'll need to double-check the definitions.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully analyze the ratios and think through how different corporate events could impact both gearing and ROCE.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Gearing and ROCE are related, but I'm not sure exactly how different corporate actions would impact them. I'll need to review my notes and try to reason through the possible answers.

I think the key here is that preferred stock has priority over common stock when it comes to earnings and assets. That makes it less risky for investors, even though common stock may have higher upside potential.

Aha, a bank loan to purchase new machinery! That would increase assets and likely affect both gearing and ROCE. This one's got my vote.

The revaluation upwards on the head office property seems like a clear explanation for the increase in ROCE. Clever, but I'm not sure it would affect gearing.

Hmm, a rights issue would make sense as it would increase equity and reduce gearing. But a debt issue? That's a head-scratcher!
