5. Leverage implies the ability of a firm to use fixed costs
assets or funds in order to magnify the return to its
shareholders.
IMPORTANCE OF LEVERAGE
It is important because it allows a company to
maximize the profits earned by shareholders as
compared to profits earned from equity operations.
Companies that demonstrate the ability to manage
leverage by repaying debts on time increase their
chances of getting loans at better interest rates.
11. ONGC has unveiled a Rs. 34000cr. Investment
plan to develop its KG basin fields, which
would help boost the company’s oil and gas
outputs by 5 times in upcoming 4 years.
ONGC in talks with GPSC for acquiring a stake
in its gas field in the Krishna-Godavari Basin
and may invest about $5 billion.
12. From the above slides and graphs it can be
concluded that the company has reached its peak
point during the year 2013-14, thereafter its
earning are continuously declining. This shows that
now the time has come for the firm to inculcate
such changes so that in the upcoming FY 2016-17,
its earning increases so as to give higher returns to
its shareholders as well as increase its retained
earnings.
Financial leverage is the degree to which a
company uses fixed-income securities such as
debt and preferred equity. The more debt financing
a company uses, the higher its financial leverage.
13. Similarly in operating leverage, the level of the
leverage will be higher when the amount of
sales is more than the EBIT. As can be seen in
the table 1that during the FY 2013-14, the
amount of sales was the highest resulting in the
highest operating leverage as compared to all
the other years.
The combined leverage graph takes the same
shape as that of the other two leverages as it
the product of the two. From year 2011 to 2014
it showed an increasing level as the other two
were also showing the same trend and from
2014 to 2016 FY it showed a downward trend
due to the same reasons.
