Descriptive Statistics of Financial Data

This solved assignment focuses on the descriptive analysis of key financial data points. It presents detailed statistical summaries for variables such as 'relativesize', 'control loss', and 'value'. Tables are provided showcasing various percentiles (1%, 5%, 10%, etc.), the smallest and largest observed values, mean, standard deviation, variance, skewness, and kurtosis. These descriptive statistics offer insights into the distribution and characteristics of each financial variable.

Summary statistics of the data
In the first section the descriptive statistics of the variables included in the data has been shown. The
descriptive statistics results includes mean standard deviation, variance , Skewness and Kurtosis. Apart
from that the results for the different percentile and the smallest and largest values in different
percentile has also been shown.

Table 1 Descriptive statistics of leverage value
One of the independent variables included in the current study is leverage, which is one of most
popular financial ratio which show how much capital of the firm is debt and how much is from
equity. In this case the average leverage ratio is 2.32 with standard deviation of 17.61. The high
values of standard deviation suggest high variation in the data set. Similarly the values of
Skewness and Kurtosis are 17.94 and 412.83 respectively. Similarly the smallest value of
leverage is 0 and the largest value being 527 the leverage of 0 is for the private firms who do not
have debt or equity in their capital structure and rely on other sources to raise capital. On the
other hand the leverage of 527 shows that the company is dependent on debt only and the
proportion of equity are very low. This indicates poor financial health of the company.
