b. Discussion on corporations leverage position and
profitability performance
Leverage Position:
In an industry where there are few barriers to change, income and benefits are associated with
switching from a business with high share margins. Changes in income can bring an organization
into liquidation as it will not be able to meet its growing mandatory commitments and meet its
labor costs. As duties are neglected, lenders can file a case at the liquidating court to sell
corporate assets to recover their relevant obligations.
The debt to equity ratio of company shows that compared to 2016, debt-equity has increased
from 0.20 to 0.40. This indicates that total stake of debt in capital structure also increases to
40%. Thus company has improved its leverage position over past year, and is still at safe position

from shareholders perspectives. But weighted cost of capital for the company is still high due to
more proportion of equity than debts.
Profitability Performance
Profitability ratios appear to be the most well-known measurements used in the silver test and
usually fall into two classes: margin ratios and report ratios. The proportions of the margins
provide an insight, from a number of specific points, into the ability of a contract group to turn it
into an advantage.
Compared to 2016, profitability performance of the company has been declined, as operating
profit, and net profit margin is lower than previous year.
Return ratios offer some unique ways to analyze how well an organization is generating returns
for investors. Some basic examples of benefit ratios are the different ratios of total income,
resource output (ROA), and return on value (ROE). Others remember the return on grant capital
(ROIC), the return on capital employed (ROCE).
Company’s ROA and ROE has also declined compared to 2016, as company has earned less
income as compared to 2016. This also indicates inefficiency of company in fulfilling the basic
objectives of shareholders which is high return to their shares. Overall performance of the
company is not good from profitability perspective, but it has improved its WACC through
increasing the proportion of debt in capital structure.
