Financial leverage: a simple example


Assets 100.000
100.000

Equity 60.000 Liabilties (8%) 40.000 100.000

Revenues -/- operational costs : 11.000 8% of 40.000 = 3.200 is for the creditors So available to shareholders : 7.800

Simple example continued


ROA = (11.000 / 100.000) x 100% = 11%
ROE = (7.800 / 60.000) x 100% = 13%

Liabilty : it costs 8 of interest and delivers 11 per 100, difference of 3 is a result on liabilties which benefits shareholders. If completely financed with equity: ROE = 11% ipv 13%

Financing with debt increases ROE if ROA>ROD
