Question

The values for 2015 and 2016 with the zeros next to them are what I need to find. A classmate got all but the last value correct. But I don't know how to find those values starting with degree of financial leverage through book value per share.

Explanation / Answer

Degree of Financial Leverage = EBIT/EBT

Here, EBIT needs to be calculated from Bottom up approach i.e. Earning before tax + Interest expense

Hence,

Price/Earning Ratio = Market Price of Share/Earning Per share

Percentage of Retained Earnings = Retained Earnings/Net Income

Dividend per share = Dividend/NO. of shares outstanding

Dividend Payout = Dividend on common stock/ Net Income

Dividend Yield = Dividend per share/Market Price per share

Book Value per share = Total Equity/No. of shares outstanding

2016 2015 EBIT =4,388 + 1,093 = 5,481 =3,990 + 1,211 = 5,201 EBT 4,388 3,990 Degree of Financial Leverage 5481/4,388 5,201/3,990 Degree of Financial Leverage 1.25 1.30
