11D The BIG question

What has happened to the business's net profit and why?

  1. Tyanni: Their net profit has decreased because as an oil drilling business, the BP oil spill consequently meant that they can't drill until the spill is under control and they are having to pay for legal bills and for the leak to be fixed.

    The business net profit has dropped, due to the legal costs and their reduced income.

  3. Sophie Turner - Transocean has been affected y the BP oil spill because of the legal costs that have had to be paid out after the spill. Also,there has been a drop in income after the spill. These two aspects are liabilities of the business therefore they are taken away from the total profit.

    The Transocean net profit is falling because they: are having to pay fees to have the oil spill investigated and they are not able to drill. There legal costs are increasing and there sales are decreasing. This results in lower current assets. When this is added to fixed assets it will result in a lower net profit.

  8. The net profit has fallen because of legal costs and reduced income after the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Also they have lost assests but the money spent on these assets havent been reclaimed by anything extra comming into the business as they were lost at sea.

  9. Transocean's net profit decreased following the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The company lost an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, which resulted in a reduction in drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
    This meant that they would not be able to extract the oil, sell it and make the money they would have if the rig was still active.

  13. their net profit has fallen because the BP oil spill has directly affected them so that they can't drill for oil so consequently are not making money
