This document provides an outline for a presentation on capital structure and the trade off theory. It introduces the presenters and outlines topics to be covered, including definitions of capital structure and firm value, the trade off theory, benefits and costs of leverage, and balancing costs and benefits to find an optimal capital structure. The trade off theory suggests there is an optimal mix of debt and equity that maximizes firm value by balancing the tax shield benefits of debt against the financial distress costs.
Testing the pecking order theory of capital structure佑嘉 孫
The paper examines the empirical validity of the pecking order theory of capital structure. It finds mixed support for the theory. While the pecking order works reasonably well for large, established firms in earlier decades, it receives weaker support among smaller, high-growth firms and in later periods like the 1980s-1990s. Equity issues, rather than debt issues, are more closely correlated with financing deficits, contrary to what the theory predicts. Overall, the pecking order theory provides only a partial description of corporate financing behavior.
The document discusses capital structure, which refers to the proportion of debt and equity used to finance a company's assets. An optimal capital structure maximizes share price value and minimizes cost of capital. Factors that affect a company's capital structure include financial risk, growth opportunities, cash flows, and tax policies. Several theories on capital structure are presented, including the Net Income, Net Operating Income, and Modigliani-Miller approaches.
The pecking order theory suggests that firms prefer internal financing over external financing and debt over equity. Under this theory, firms will first use retained earnings to finance projects and needs before considering external funds. If additional funds are needed, firms will take on debt before issuing new equity. The pecking order theory is based on the ideas that internal funds are cheapest, debt is cheaper than equity, and managers have more information about their firm than outside investors.

This document summarizes a research study that investigated factors influencing the capital structure of the leasing sector in Pakistan from 2001-2010. The study found that size of assets had a negative and significant impact on leverage for leasing companies. Liquidity, tangibility, profitability, and capital intensity did not significantly influence leverage. Therefore, the study concluded that Pakistan's leasing sector follows the pecking order theory in determining its capital structure based on these factors. The document provides context on the leasing sector in Pakistan and reviews several other studies on factors influencing capital structure decisions.
The document discusses profit analysis and profit policies. It defines profit as the compensation received by a firm and distinguishes between normal profit needed to remain in business and supernormal profit. Profit analysis simplifies calculations like breakeven analysis and is used for short-term decisions assuming constant costs and revenues. While economic theory advocates for profit maximization, modern businesses aim to maximize profit but also consider other goals like industry leadership, restricting competition, political and consumer impacts, labor relations, financial liquidity, and risk avoidance.
This document discusses capital structure, which refers to the mix of debt and equity used by a company to finance its long-term operations. It raises capital from different sources based on principles that provide the optimal system for maximum returns at minimum cost. The capital structure is influenced by internal factors like business size and nature, and external factors like capital market conditions and taxation policies. The optimal capital structure maximizes company value and minimizes capital costs. There are different theories around capital structure like the net income theory, which suggests maximizing debt to reduce costs, and the net operating income theory, which argues the capital structure mix does not affect overall costs.
1) The document summarizes a research paper that examines the determinants of capital structure for Chinese listed companies using market and accounting data up to 2000.
2) The findings show that leverage is negatively correlated with profitability but positively correlated with firm size, volatility, tangibility, growth, and dividends. Leverage is also negatively correlated with non-debt tax shields and intangibility.
3) These results are consistent with predictions from both the tradeoff theory and pecking order theory of capital structure. Larger, more tangible firms with growth opportunities tend to have higher leverage, while more profitable firms with non-debt tax shields tend to have lower leverage.

The document discusses theories of capital structure and financial distress. It explains that the trade-off theory views capital structure as a balance between the tax benefits of debt and costs of financial distress. The pecking order theory states that firms prefer internal financing, then debt, and equity as a last resort, to avoid sending negative signals to investors. The pecking order theory is based on the idea that managers have more information than investors, so equity issuance could be seen as bad news.
This document defines profit and distinguishes between accounting and economic profit. It states that profit is the reward to owners for taking risks and is the difference between revenue and costs. While accountants view costs as expenses, economists see costs as also including opportunity costs of using resources. Economic profit subtracts normal profit, which is the amount that could be earned elsewhere, from accounting profit. Abnormal profit occurs when economic profit is positive, indicating resources could be better allocated to that good's production. The document encourages testing understanding of these profit concepts through a worksheet task.
The document discusses two theories of capital structure - the pecking order theory and the trade-off theory. The pecking order theory states that firms prefer internal financing, then debt, and lastly equity if external financing is needed. This is due to problems with adverse selection and managerial preference for internal funds. The trade-off theory views capital structure as a trade-off between tax benefits of debt and costs of financial distress, predicting an optimal debt level where benefits equal costs. The document provides details on both theories and their implications for company financing decisions and performance.
Leverage ratio is the ratio which states the mixture of debts and equity in the company that is associated with the investments made by the company.

This document summarizes research on the relationship between agency theory and capital structure. Agency theory describes conflicts of interest that can arise between managers, shareholders, and debt holders in a company. These agency costs impact a company's optimal capital structure. The study aims to describe how agency problems influence changes to a company's capital structure and how different financing choices like debt and equity can help optimize capital structure by mitigating agency costs. It discusses how debt can help align manager and shareholder interests while also creating conflicts between managers/shareholders and creditors. The ideal debt level minimizes total agency costs.
This study examines the static trade-off theory and pecking order theory of capital structure using data from 279 companies on the Tehran Stock Exchange over 5 years. The static trade-off theory posits that firms seek an optimal capital structure that balances the costs and benefits of debt, while the pecking order theory states that firms prioritize internal financing and use debt over equity when external funds are needed. The results show that neither theory fully explains the capital structures. However, evidence is found for the static trade-off theory when analyzed by industry, supporting the importance of industry in financing decisions per the pecking order theory. The conclusions differ from some prior studies but are consistent with others that found more support for the static
Business ratios are mathematical calculations that provide insights into a company's financial health and performance. Common ratios include profitability, sales to inventory, current, acid test, debt, and debt-to-equity ratios. These ratios allow companies to evaluate their performance over time and compare themselves to industry benchmarks to identify areas for improvement. Calculating and analyzing key financial ratios is an important management tool for understanding a business's fiscal condition.
Financial Ratios - Introduction to Profitability RatiosLoanXpress
The document discusses various profitability ratios that are used to analyze a business's ability to generate earnings compared to expenses, including gross profit ratio, net profit ratio, operating ratio, and operating profit ratio. These ratios are calculated using figures from a company's income statement and balance sheet to evaluate metrics like gross margins, net income, costs of operations, and operating efficiency. Having higher ratio values relative to competitors or previous periods generally indicates better financial performance.
1) The document discusses various methods for analyzing company profitability including margin ratios, break-even analysis, and calculating returns on assets and investment.
2) It provides examples of calculating gross profit margin, operating profit margin, and net profit margin ratios.
3) Break-even analysis examples demonstrate calculating the break-even point for both sales and units sold.
4) Return on assets and return on investment are calculated using the company's net profit, total assets, and net worth.
This document summarizes a study on the determinants of capital structure in Thailand. The study analyzed data on 144 Thai listed companies from 2000 to 2011 to examine how firm-specific factors like size, profitability, asset tangibility, growth opportunities, and volatility influence a company's leverage ratios. The results showed that leverage ratios increased significantly with firm size but decreased significantly with profitability, in line with trade-off and pecking order theories. However, tangibility, growth, and volatility did not have significant relationships with leverage ratios. Therefore, the study concluded that firm size and profitability are the main determinants of capital structure for companies in Thailand.
Ratios are used to analyze various aspects of a business's performance including liquidity, shareholders returns, efficiency, and profitability. Key ratios discussed include the current ratio and acid test ratio for liquidity, dividends per share and dividend yield for shareholders, gearing and asset turnover for efficiency, and gross profit margin, net profit margin, and return on capital employed for profitability. Limitations of ratio analysis include the need to compare ratios over time, between companies, and across industries to fully understand a business's performance.
The document summarizes the theory of irrelevance of capital structure developed by Modigliani and Miller in 1958. It states that under certain assumptions, like no taxes or bankruptcy costs, the value of a firm is unaffected by its capital structure. The theory established that the proportion of debt and equity on a company's balance sheet does not impact its overall valuation. It outlines the assumptions of the theory, provides an example, and notes criticisms of removing real world factors like taxes from the analysis.
Ratio analysis involves calculating and comparing financial ratios to assess a company's performance and financial position. There are five main types of ratios: liquidity, profitability, efficiency, gearing, and shareholders' ratios. Ratios provide a framework to compare a company's performance over time, between divisions, and against industry peers. However, ratios only show one part of a company's overall situation and financial statements can sometimes be manipulated, so ratio analysis must be considered alongside other information.
Meeting 3 - Profitability Ratios (Financial Reporting and Analysis)Albina Gaisina
The document discusses various profitability ratios used to analyze a company's financial performance, including:
1. Gross profit margin - Measures profitability after direct costs are subtracted from revenue.
2. Operating profit margin - Accounts for indirect costs in addition to direct costs.
3. Net profit margin - Shows profitability after all expenses including interest and taxes.
4. Return on assets - Measures how efficiently a company uses its assets to generate earnings.
5. Return on equity - Assesses how efficiently a company generates profit relative to shareholders' equity.
The document discusses profit maximization and different approaches companies take to maximize profit. It provides two approaches to profit maximization in the short run using total revenue and total cost curves, and marginal revenue and marginal cost curves. Profit is maximized where marginal revenue equals marginal cost. The document also discusses factors that can prevent companies from strictly pursuing profit maximization and alternative objectives companies may pursue like long-run survival, maintaining market share, and managerial utility.
3.4 interpreting published accounts (part 1) - moodleMissHowardHA
This document provides an overview of how to interpret published financial accounts using ratio analysis. It discusses liquidity ratios like the current ratio and acid test ratio, which measure a firm's ability to meet short-term obligations. It also covers profitability ratios like gross profit margin, operating profit margin, and return on capital employed, which assess how efficiently a firm generates profits. The document uses examples to demonstrate how to calculate these ratios and interpret the results. It prompts the reader to calculate ratios for a sample company and provides guidance on analyzing the findings.
Financial Ratio analysis Of Gul Ahmed Textile Ltd.PakeezaTehmuri
This document analyzes various financial ratios for Gul Ahmed Textile Mill from 2013-2017. It discusses different types of ratios including activity, liquidity, solvency, profitability, valuation, and DuPont ratios. The DuPont analysis breaks down return on equity into its components: net profit margin, total asset turnover, and financial leverage. It finds Gul Ahmed's fluctuating ROE over this period was influenced by multiple changing factors rather than one aspect alone, such as increasing tax burden, unstable interest costs, and lower use of leverage.
This document discusses various theories of capital structure and their impact on firm value. It begins by outlining learning objectives around capital structure theories and their relationship to cost of capital and firm value. It then covers the net operating income, traditional, and Modigliani-Miller approaches. It discusses how taxes impact the MM hypotheses and introduces the trade-off theory weighing costs and benefits of leverage. The document also summarizes pecking order theory and approaches to establishing an optimal capital structure.
The document discusses different perspectives on what makes a business viable or able to survive, including economic viability through profitability, social viability through value delivered, and sustainability over time. It examines factors like growth, competition, size, product lifecycles, and protecting a business from threats both internal and external.
This document discusses key concepts around a company's financing decision of whether to issue debt or equity. It covers factors to consider like taxes, financial distress, signaling effects, and how financial leverage can increase expected returns but also amplify risk for shareholders. Examples and equations are provided to illustrate how different financing options like debt versus equity impact returns and financial ratios.

It covers factors to consider like taxes, financial distress, signaling effects, and how financial leverage can increase expected returns but also amplify risk for shareholders. Examples and equations are provided to illustrate how different financing options like debt versus equity impact returns and financial ratios.
This document discusses leverage and capital structure. It defines operating leverage as the use of fixed costs rather than variable costs, which increases business risk when sales decline. Financial leverage refers to the use of debt in the capital structure. While financial leverage can increase expected return on equity if the business' earnings before interest and taxes covers the cost of debt, it also increases risk for equity holders. There is an optimal capital structure that balances the higher expected returns from leverage against the increased financial risk.
The document discusses various financial ratios used to analyze a company's profitability, liquidity, efficiency, gearing, and evaluate investments. It provides examples and definitions of key ratios including gross profit margin, net profit margin, current ratio, acid test (quick) ratio, return on capital employed, stock turnover, gearing ratio, and average rate of return.
Seminar 7 evaluating companies with financial metricspvalantagul
The document provides an overview of evaluating companies using financial metrics and ratios. It discusses key metrics for analyzing income statements, including revenue growth, operating income growth, EPS growth, margins, and comparisons of metrics between companies. It also covers balance sheet metrics like the current ratio, return on equity, return on assets, and debt-to-equity ratio. The document concludes by discussing common valuation metrics like price-to-earnings ratios and how they can be used to evaluate if a stock is cheap or expensive relative to its peers and growth prospects.
The document discusses the cost of equity capital and methods for estimating it. It covers estimating beta based on a company's sensitivity to market returns. Determinants of beta include business risk from cyclicality and operating leverage, as well as financial risk from leverage. The weighted average cost of capital incorporates both equity and debt costs. Firms can potentially lower their cost of capital by increasing stock liquidity through greater disclosure, reducing information gaps.

Determinants of beta include business risk from cyclicality and operating leverage, as well as financial risk from leverage. The weighted average cost of capital incorporates both equity and debt costs. Firms can potentially lower their cost of capital by increasing stock liquidity through measures like stock splits and disclosure.
The document discusses capital structure and leverage. It defines operating leverage as using fixed costs which increases business risk when sales decline. Financial leverage is using debt which increases financial risk for stockholders. The optimal capital structure balances higher expected returns from debt against increased risk. Signaling theory suggests firms should use less debt than predicted to avoid signaling effects from stock sales that could lower stock prices.
The document discusses various types of ratios used to evaluate companies, including efficiency ratios, liquidity ratios, leverage ratios, and profitability ratios. Efficiency ratios measure how effectively a company uses its assets. Liquidity ratios evaluate a company's ability to meet short-term obligations. Leverage ratios assess how much debt a company has relative to equity. Profitability ratios provide information on a company's margins and returns. Comparing ratios over time and across peers can provide insights into a company's performance and financial health.
This document discusses various leverage ratios that can be used to measure how leveraged or indebted a company is. It defines leverage ratios as ratios that measure how much debt a company is using compared to its equity. It then lists some common leverage ratios including debt-equity ratio, interest coverage ratio, debt service coverage ratio, and debt ratio. For each ratio, it provides the formula and an example calculation to illustrate how to use the ratio. The document emphasizes that leverage ratios indicate a company's ability to repay its long-term debts and service the interest on its debt. Too much debt can make a company riskier and more vulnerable to changes in interest rates.
This document provides an overview of organizational assessments conducted by Management Systems. It discusses the following:
- The assessment process includes reviewing documents, conducting interviews, and administering surveys to evaluate an organization's strengths and limitations.
- A report is prepared that summarizes findings based on the Pyramid of Organizational Development model, presents survey results, and provides recommendations to build on strengths and address limitations.
- The assessment evaluates an organization's current state and provides a customized evaluation and recommendations to guide its further development.
This document discusses capital structure and the tradeoffs between debt and equity financing. It notes that the two ways for a business to make money are through debt, which requires fixed payments, or equity, where cash flows are left over after debt payments. It then discusses the costs and benefits of using debt, including tax benefits, added management discipline, bankruptcy costs, agency costs, and loss of flexibility. The document analyzes how these factors impact a firm's optimal capital structure and financing decisions.
This document discusses fixed costs and operating leverage. It defines operating leverage as the degree to which a company incurs fixed costs versus variable costs. Companies with high operating leverage can benefit greatly from increased revenues but are also at risk if revenues decline. The document also discusses financial leverage, which results from fixed financial costs like interest and dividends. It provides examples of how operating and financial leverage can magnify the effects of changes in revenues and earnings. Total leverage considers the combined effects of operating and financial leverage on a company's earnings per share.
The document discusses valuation techniques for businesses and analysis of company financials. It provides examples of how to calculate the value of a business based on earnings, dividends, or required rate of return. It also outlines key areas to analyze for a company including products, markets, competitors, and impact of news/developments. Financial statement analysis techniques are presented for revenue, costs, balance sheet ratios, and interpreting what ratios indicate.

This document discusses measuring performance in pest control businesses. It covers measuring financial performance through profit and loss statements and key ratios. It also discusses measuring marketing, sales, and operational performance through metrics like leads generated, proposals written, jobs completed efficiently. Overall it emphasizes the importance of measurement and data to effectively manage a pest control business for growth.
Warren Buffett rarely invests in tech stocks because he often does not understand them, which is outside his area of expertise. Unless an investor understands a company's business model and the drivers of future growth, they risk being blindsided. Fundamental analysis attempts to determine a company's value by focusing on internal factors like finances, management, and products, as well as external factors such as the economy and interest rates, to evaluate growth potential and investment risk. Performing various financial ratio calculations and comparing them over time and between competitors can provide important insights for fundamental investors.
Sources of capital on the basis of ownership & Cost Of Borrowed Capital & Lev...RahulBisen13
Operating leverage measures how fixed costs affect operating income with changes in sales. It is calculated as contribution/EBIT and relates to assets. Financial leverage measures how fixed financial charges affect earnings, calculated as OP/PBT and relates to liabilities. Combined leverage considers both operating and financial leverage and their compounding effects on earnings. Leverage allows profits to rise with sales but also increases risk if sales decline.
This document summarizes key concepts regarding capital structure analysis:
1) EBIT/EPS analysis examines how different capital structures affect earnings available to shareholders and risk based on different levels of EBIT. Leverage increases EPS at high EBIT levels but decreases it at low levels.
2) Debt provides a tax shield benefit as interest payments reduce taxable income. This increases overall returns to investors compared to an unlevered firm.
3) There is a trade-off between the tax benefits of debt and the financial distress and agency costs of debt as leverage increases. Optimal capital structure balances these factors.
4) Practical considerations like industry standards, creditor requirements, maintaining borrowing capacity, and manager

The document provides tips for job applicants on preparing resumes and following up with recruiters. It advises to ensure resumes are free of flaws, tailored to each job, and highlight relevant skills and keywords. Cover letters should specifically address why the applicant fits the role. When following up, timing is important - wait 1-2 weeks before contacting a recruiter, as responses can take longer for junior versus senior roles, and non-responses may mean the applicant is not the top candidate. Recruiters may also keep profiles on file without immediate openings.
Networking through friends and former colleagues is the best way to look for opportunities, rather than randomly searching online or sending unsolicited emails. It is important to have the right skills for the job and understand how your skills align with the company's needs and vision. Candidates should thoroughly review all social media profiles and ensure information is consistent across platforms, as many employers will research candidates online and unprofessional content could deter hiring.
Changing expectations after an interview reflects badly on the candidate and increases chances of rejection. Proper market research on prevailing rates for the role and location is important before an interview to avoid expressing unrealistic expectations during negotiations. Candidates should also follow up if not contacted after an interview, thank recruiters for their time, and stay connected on professional networks even if not selected in order to maintain positive relationships.
This document provides tips for phone interviews and in-person interactions. For phone interviews, candidates should keep an relaxed tone, take notes of their questions, and avoid multitasking.

Confirmation of Payee (CoP) is a vital security measure adopted by financial institutions and payment service providers. Its core purpose is to confirm that the recipient’s name matches the information provided by the sender during a banking transaction, ensuring that funds are transferred to the correct payment account.
Confirmation of Payee was built to tackle the increasing numbers of APP Fraud and in the landscape of UK banking, the spectre of APP fraud looms large. In 2022, over £1.2 billion was stolen by fraudsters through authorised and unauthorised fraud, equivalent to more than £2,300 every minute. This statistic emphasises the urgent need for robust security measures like CoP. While over £1.2 billion was stolen through fraud in 2022, there was an eight per cent reduction compared to 2021 which highlights the positive outcomes obtained from the implementation of Confirmation of Payee. The number of fraud cases across the UK also decreased by four per cent to nearly three million cases during the same period; latest statistics from UK Finance.
In essence, Confirmation of Payee plays a pivotal role in digital banking, guaranteeing the flawless execution of banking transactions. It stands as a guardian against fraud and misallocation, demonstrating the commitment of financial institutions to safeguard their clients’ assets. The next time you engage in a banking transaction, remember the invaluable role of CoP in ensuring the security of your financial interests.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

Leverage
Leverage is the tool which make our work easier
Higher Leverage – less Effort and more Output
Lower leverage – more Effort and less Output.
Operating leverage
Operating leverage arises through Cost structure .Fixed cost is an operating leverage
In any business in which fixed cost are high, we will call that company posses High leverage.
Example of High Operating leverage companies
In Airline business , Fixed cost are high , Variable Cost are Fuel Charge (it depends)
If DOL = 3 what does this mean?
If sales is increased by +30% then Operating profit is increased by +60%
If sales is decreased by -30% then Operating profit is increased by -60%
If operation are going well then the company is performing well. (Do well in boom markets)
Trouble in time of recession because of high operational risk (like in 2008 crisis)
High Operating leverage High Operational Risk
Example of low Operating leverage companies
IT companies ,
less fixed cost (like Rent , Utilities)
High Variable cost (like Salaries )
Business can cut variable costs as per market conditions . ( In Recession ,Laying off employee and If Dollar is
Strong , hiring more employee)
Low Operating leverage low Operational Risk
Formula
DOL = Contribution/EBIT
DOL = % Change in EBIT / % Change in Sales

profit
If ROI < Interest : Company may not grow Fast.(under bad market condition)
High Financial leverage Higher Solvency Risk ( higher chance of Bankruptcy)

Companies can survive with low ROI as well
Interest = 0
ROI = 6%
Any way you are making profit.
