Explanation / Answer

2) ROA=Net Income/Total assets

In this case Assets= Liabilities+ Equity

Degarevel Company= .2=Net Income/100000+200000

.2*300000=Net Income= $60000

Net Income is this case we will assume that it is EBIT that the effcet of financila leverage can be shown as tax and others are nil.

So, cost of debt is 10% of 200000= $20000

Income for equityholder=60000-20000=$40000 i.e 40%

Ytiuqe Company= .2=Net Income/300000=$60000 this whole belongs to equityholders

So, 60000/300000*100=20%

So due to financial leverge Degarevel Company equityholder were able to earn 40% on their shares while Ytiuqe comany shareholder were able to earn 20%

Financial leverage means acquiring assets with the funds provided by creditors and preferred stockholders for the benefit of common stockholders. It means that the assets acquired with the funds provided by creditors generate a rate of return that is higher than the rate of interest payable to the providers of funds. When wepay interest we also get tax deduction which decrease the cost of fund borrowed i.e the rate of interest
