For the years ended December, 2015 and 2014, BOEING CO's sales were $96,114.0 and $90,762.0, and its net income was $5,176.0 and $5,446.0, respectively. What is the capital structure leverage (financial leverage) for BOEING CO for 2015? Please answer my question need the answer now
Acording to the Du Pont equation,
Return on equity = Net profit margin * Total Assets turnover ratio * Financial leverage
since,
Net income / Average shareholders' Equity = (Net income/Sales)*(Sales/Average total Assets)*(Average total Assets/Average shareholders' Equity)
Equity for both years can be found as (Total assets - Total liabilities)
Equity for 2015 = $94,408 - $88,011 = $6,397
Equity for 2014 = $99,198 - $90,408 = $8,790
Average shareholders' equity in 2015 = ($6,397+$8,790)/2
= $7,593.50
ROE (2015) = $5,176 / $7,593.50
= 0.6816 or 68.16%
Net margin (2015) = $5,176 / $96,114
= 0.0538 or 5.38%
Average total assets in 2015 = ($94,408 + $99,198)/2
= $96,803
So, total assers turnover in 2015 = $96,114 / $96,803
= 0.99
Putting all ratios for 2015 in the DuPont equation,
0.6816 = 0.0538 * 0.99 * Financial leverage
Financial leverage = 0.6816 / 0.0533
