Testing Hypothesis II.
Antonia Ficova, Juraj Sipko, Department of International Business, Pan European
University, Bratislava, 2014
oIs means of performance of the firms in 2010 are the
same as means of performance of the firms in 2013 after
debt crisis?
owe use Normal Quantile Plot - Test for Non-Normality,
oparametric test, method The ‘Student’ t-test distribution
with (N−1) degrees of freedom, mean test of correlation
with a known constant by using the two-sample t-test for
mean value.
Antonia Ficova, Juraj Sipko, Department of International Business, Pan European

Testing Hypothesis II.
Source: Author´s estimation by using Eviews.
CONCLUSION FROM TESTING HYPOTHESIS I.
o coefficient of determination is 0.913 indicates that
91.27%,
o significance of F is 0.000000<0.01;
o cash flow, extend payment terms (Purchasing),
reduce collection terms (credit), identification and
disposal of obsolete inventories (Controllership),
reduce borrowing cost (Treasury), reduce finance
administrative expense (Finance Leadership).
Antonia Ficova, Juraj Sipko, Department of International Business, Pan European
University, Bratislava, 2014
CONCLUSION FROM TESTING HYPOTHESIS II.
o we explored performance of firms during period
2010 and 2013=could by caused by different strategy
of each firm,
o we found that firm´s return on equity, return on
assets, total assets, profit is attached with debt
portion of company positively,
o if company debt ratio increases, there is negative
correlation on the growth of the company, more to
the point on working capital, investment, capital
expenditure, revenue.

Editor's Notes

  1. Slovak economy has become strongly dependent on foreign demand, especially from Germany and the euro area. In other words, business cycles in the industries concerned are often more pronounced than in other industries, especially services. During the past decade, Slovakia has performed a successful restructuring strategy. GDP Growth Rate in Slovakia averaged 0.93% from 1997 until 2014, reaching an all time high of 9% in the fourth quarter of 1998 and a record low of -7.60% in the first quarter of 2009 to 0.6% in Q1 2014 reported by the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic. Moreoever, export industries have received special attention. Foreign investments in the automotive and electronic sectors have been the main source of the recent expansion. Main export partners are Euro Area members with German, Czech Republic, France and Poland being the most important. However, the biggest share of Slovakian imports are machinery and transport equipment, intermediate manufactured goods, fuels and chemicals and main import partners are Germany, Czech Republic, Russia and Hungary.
  2. However, more indebted countries are expected to see their cost of debt financing increasing, since the financial system of countries hit by the crisis is rebalancing its portfolio of assets into positions that are less risky. In this light, this has a negative impact and developing countries because it could raise on debt valuation of emerging their cost of indebtedness. In sum, better and careful monitoring over the internal financial system of the firm, even if the system seems healthy and not affected by contagion. Prevention, rather than curing, is the right policy in these times. Corporate sector indicators are useful for assessing the potential impact of exchange rate and interest rate changes on corporate sector balance sheets. The monitoring through the two indicators of exposure could be complemented by indicators related to corporate leverage, profitability, cash flow and financial structure.
  3. Viewed in this light, there are at least two causal channels according to the Trebesch, Ch. (2009) by which sovereign debt distress can affect private sector external borrowing in emerging market countries. First, demand effects, default periods often coincide with output losses and lower domestic demand, this can lead to a drop in production, investment and profits, which may be further reinforced by banking sector stress. As a result, firms may demand less credit. Second, the drop in corporate external credit may be attributable to supply effects. In sum, sovereign defaults might worsen country risk perceptions as a whole, increase risk premia on all new loans to domestic agents and thereby reduce private sector external debt issuance.
  4. According to the results of OLS at 95% confidence level, which are presented in Table 1 above show, that coefficient of determination R2 = 0.913 indicates that 91.27% of the variance of the endogenous variable (debt ratio) is being explained by changes in the variables x, that shows changes in profit, working capital, investments, revenue, etc., in short that means positive linear relationship. On the other hand, 8.74% of changes in the debt ratio of the firms are affected by other variables that are not included in this model, for example rate of economic growth of the country, inflation, government restrictions (higher taxe rate, exchange rate, interest rate), etc. The significance of the model, prob (F-statistic) is 0.000000<0.01; what is high statistically significant (++). The parameter β is high statistically significant because the P-value is 0.0000<0.01; (++). The parameter x2, x4, x5, x8, x9, x10 are high statistically significant because of the P-value. For N = 42, k = 10, and significant level = 5%, the significant Durbin-Watson statistic dL is 0.749, dU is 1.956. Since the Durbin-Watson d statistic, 4-1.595=2.405, a value near 2 indicates non-autocorrelation in this model. concluded that when company increase their debt level there should be positive impact on growth of the firm. As this paper found that company return on equity, return on assets, total assets, profit is attached with debt portion of company positively, so those companies having high leveraged company should decrease their debt portion for increasing their assets to maintain the growth in market.
  5. However, at this point we present illustrations of significant variables below. Moreover, the data are displayed as a collection of points, each having the value of one variable determining the position on the horizontal axis and the value of the other variable determining the position on the vertical axis. If the pattern of dots slopes from lower left to upper right, it suggests a positive correlation between the variables being studied, e. g. debt ratio and return on equity, debt ratio and return on assets, debt ratio and assets. If the pattern of dots slopes from upper left to lower right, it suggests a negative correlation, e.g . debt ratio and working capital, debt ratio and cash, see below.
  6. According to the results of OLS at 95% confidence level, which are presented in Table 1 above show, that coefficient of determination R2 = 0.913 indicates that 91.27% of the variance of the endogenous variable (debt ratio) is being explained by changes in the variables x, that shows changes in profit, working capital, investments, revenue, etc., in short that means positive linear relationship. On the other hand, 8.74% of changes in the debt ratio of the firms are affected by other variables that are not included in this model, for example rate of economic growth of the country, inflation, government restrictions (higher taxe rate, exchange rate, interest rate), etc. The significance of the model, prob (F-statistic) is 0.000000<0.01; what is high statistically significant (++). The parameter β is high statistically significant because the P-value is 0.0000<0.01; (++). The parameter x2, x4, x5, x8, x9, x10 are high statistically significant because of the P-value. For N = 42, k = 10, and significant level = 5%, the significant Durbin-Watson statistic dL is 0.749, dU is 1.956. Since the Durbin-Watson d statistic, 4-1.595=2.405, a value near 2 indicates non-autocorrelation in this model. concluded that when company increase their debt level there should be positive impact on growth of the firm. As this paper found that company return on equity, return on assets, total assets, profit is attached with debt portion of company positively, so those companies having high leveraged company should decrease their debt portion for increasing their assets to maintain the growth in market.
  7. In short, debt crisis may lead to a generalized systemic crisis through worsened conditions for local credits and through a decline of the demand in the world real economy. We suggest that, if a firm want to increase their financial performance, it is necessary to make changes as follows: if we look at cash flow, extend payment terms (Purchasing), reduce collection terms (credit), support customers with credit facilities (i.e. factoring) granting an affordable prompt payment discount, outlining strategies for identifying / selling idle / non-core assets (Finance Leadership), identification and disposal of obsolete inventories (Controllership), operating results, reduce borrowing cost (Treasury), reduce finance administrative expense (Finance Leadership), permanet review of gross margins (financial planning), cost containment programs (tracking system). In other words, good planning and production helps toward maximization of achieving ends with available resources. A costing team helps firm to analyze costs, volumes, plan profits through fixation of selling prices which are beneficial to both the buyer and the seller. A accounting team ensures that nothing goes unaccounted and that things are accounted correctly. It also ensures that statutory norms are maintained as required.
