Capital Structure of Super Trading Company:
- Equity Share Capital: Rs. 10 lakh (100,000 shares of Rs. 100 each)
- Debentures: Rs. 10 lakh of 10% debentures
Calculation of Earnings per Share (EPS):
Earnings per Share (EPS) is a measure of the company's profitability per share. It is calculated by dividing the net income (earnings after taxes and interest) by the number of outstanding equity shares.
To calculate EPS, we need to determine the net income first.
1. Calculation of Net Income:
- Selling Price per Unit: Rs. 10
- Variable Cost per Unit: Rs. 6
- Fixed Cost: Rs. 200,000
- Sales Increase: From 100,000 units to 120,000 units
Total Sales Revenue:
= Selling Price per Unit * Number of Units
= Rs. 10 * 120,000
= Rs. 1,200,000
Total Variable Cost:
= Variable Cost per Unit * Number of Units
= Rs. 6 * 120,000
= Rs. 720,000
Total Contribution Margin:
= Total Sales Revenue - Total Variable Cost
= Rs. 1,200,000 - Rs. 720,000
= Rs. 480,000
Total Fixed Cost: Rs. 200,000
Operating Income (EBIT):
= Total Contribution Margin - Total Fixed Cost
= Rs. 480,000 - Rs. 200,000
= Rs. 280,000
Income Before Taxes and Interest:
= Operating Income (EBIT) - Interest on Debentures
= Rs. 280,000 - (10% of Rs. 10,00,000)
= Rs. 280,000 - Rs. 100,000
= Rs. 180,000
Net Income:
= Income Before Taxes and Interest - Income Tax Expense
= Rs. 180,000 - (50% of Rs. 180,000)
= Rs. 180,000 - Rs. 90,000
= Rs. 90,000
2. Calculation of EPS:
EPS = Net Income / Number of Equity Shares
= Rs. 90,000 / 100,000
= Rs. 0.90 per share
Calculation of Financial Leverage:
Financial leverage measures the extent to which a firm uses debt financing. It is calculated using the debt-to-equity ratio.
Debt-to-Equity Ratio:
= Total Debt / Total Equity
= Rs. 10,00,000 / Rs. 10,00,000
= 1:1
Calculation of Operating Leverage:
Operating leverage measures the fixed costs in a company's cost structure. It is calculated using the contribution margin ratio.
Contribution Margin Ratio:
= Contribution Margin / Sales Revenue
= Rs. 480,000 / Rs. 1,200,000
= 0.4 or 40%
Explanation:
- Earnings per Share (EPS) is a measure of the company's profitability per share. It indicates the amount of profit available to each equity shareholder.
- Financial leverage measures the use of debt financing in a company's capital structure. A higher debt-to-equity ratio indicates higher
