A) Compute its financial leverage (FLEV), Spread, and noncontrolling interest (NCI) ratio for 2015. Recall that NNE = NOPAT - Net income

B) Assume that its return on equity (ROA) for 2015 is 38.95% and its return on net operating assets (RNOA) is 26.58%. Confirm computations to yield the relation: ROE = [RNOA + (FLEV x Spread)] x NCI ratio

C) What do your computations of the nonoperating return imply about the company's use of borrowed funds?

Answer 1

Financial Leverage (FLEV) = Earnings before Interest and Tax (EBIT ) / Earning s before Tax(EBT) – ( Preference Dividend(PD) / 1 – Tax rate)

                                                = (408547 – 7234 ) / 386685 – 0

= 1.038

Spread is the difference between the ask rate and bid rate of the security.

• Non Controlling Interest is also known as Minority Interest which is recorded in the equity section of the parent’s company balance sheet.

b) Return on Equity ( ROE) = Net Income / Shareholders EQUITY *100

Non operating return is the return from the portion of the organization’s income that is derived from activities not related to its core business operations.
