EQUITY MULTIPLIER=Total Assets / Total Stockholders' Equity
ROE divided by ROA isi the equity multiplier, which is also equal to total assets divided by total equity.
For a change of p percent, the multiplier is (1+p/100).
The term coefficient is often used to mean multiplier of a variable. So if we have 3x+3, then 3 is the coefficient of x.
The leverage multiplier equals to total asset dividing by shareholders' equity. The high leverage multiplier indicates that the firms decide to overcome the high levels of borrowing or debt on which it must pay interest. The higher ratio means higher liability than its shareholders' equity. Essentially, the ratio is mainly used to help firms making decision about how to raise funds by undertaking debts. A company will only undertake significant amounts of debt when it believes that return on assets (ROA) will be higher than the interest on the loan.
The equity multiplier = debt to equity +1. Therefore, if the debt to equity ratio is 1.40, the equity multiplier is 2.40.
Equity Multiplier = 2.4 Therefore Equity Ratio = 1/EM Equity Ratio = 1/2.4 = 0.42 MEMORIZE this formula: Debt Ratio + Equity Ratio = 1 Therefor Debt Ratio = 1 - Equity Ratio = 1 - 0.42 = 0.58 or 58%
Equity multiplier = 24 Equity ratio = 1/3.0 = 0.33 Debt ratio + Equity ratio = 1 ***THIS EQUATION IS THE KEY TO THE ANSWER*** By manipulating this formula you can find Debt ratio = 1 - Equity ration 1 - 0.33 = 0.67 or 67% Debt ratio = 67%
EQUITY MULTIPLIER=Total Assets / Total Stockholders' Equity
Given: ROA = 10%, Profit margin = 2%, ROE = 15% ROA = Profit margin x Asset Turnover Therefore, Asset Turnover = ROA / Profit margin = 10 / 2 = 5% ROE = Profit margin x Asset Turnover x Equity multiplier 15 = 2 x 5 x Equity Multiplier 15 / 10 = Equity Multiplier Equity Multiplier = 1.05
1.4
0.75
Equity Multiplier ROA*Equity Multiplier=ROE so, (10%)*(x)=(15%), therefore, Equity Multiplier=15%/10%= 1.5 times Total Asset Turnover Profit Margin*Total Asset Turnover = ROA, so (2%)*(x)=10%, therefore Total Asset Turnover=10%/2%= 5 times
Since ROE = ROA (Equity Multiplier) in order for ROE to equal ROA the equity multiplier must be one. In other words, the total assets to total shareholders' equity ratio must be one.
the return on equity divided by the return on assets
an equity multiplier of 2 means that the firm finances it asset with 50% of debt instruments. thus, for every $ of investments in assets, the firm matches it with an equivalent composition of debt.
Given: ROA = 10%, Profit margin = 2%, ROE = 15% ROA = Profit margin x Asset Turnover Therefore, Asset Turnover = ROA / Profit margin = 10 / 2 = 5% ROE = Profit margin x Asset Turnover x Equity multiplier 15 = 2 x 5 x Equity Multiplier 15 / 10 = Equity Multiplier Equity Multiplier = 1.05
