Theories Of Cost Theory

Finding the perfect capital structure in terms of risk and reward can ensure a company meets shareholder expectations and protects a firm in times of recession. Capital structure refers to how a business puts its money to “work”. The two forms of capital structure are equity capital and debt capital. Both have their benefits and limitations. Striking that perfect balance between the two can mean the difference between thriving versus trying to survive.

For each measure, I attempt to build the best empirical mapping as made available by my data. First, I calculate a firm’s value by adding the book value of debt to the market value of equity. I measure profitability as net income over firm value, financial leverage as book debt over market equity, capitalization as book equity over assets, growth as market equity over book equity, and volatility as the quarterly standard deviation of daily log returns. For ease of replication, I collect these variable definitions into the appendix. Note that although the growth variable appears similar to the usual Tobin’s q measure of non-bank firms, banks by design have a large proportion of their assets held as debt in the form of deposits, so the usual approximation of neglecting liabilities does not apply. For bank-specific variables, I also compute total income as non-interest income plus net interest income. I construct the non-interest income ratio (NIIR) by dividing non-interest income by total income, the non-bank subsidiary ratio (NBSR) by dividing the count of non-bank subsidiaries (NAICS codes not equal to 5221) by total subsidiaries, and normalize loans and debt by dividing by value. All figures use the fullest available information. All tables drop all observations missing any relevant variables. I report all ratios in percentage terms. To control for outliers outside the scope of this paper, all ratios are winsorized at the 1% level, where the sample is across all available bank-quarters in the

The effect of financial proportions on the financial execution of Bahraini business and Islamic banks. The financial execution of banks was emphatically and absolutely affected by their operational proficiency, resource administration and their size.

Dividend is that portion of net profits which is distributed among the shareholders. Every company would have their own dividend policy. Some may have a kind of policy where they have a fixed amount of dividend for a number of years, some have a constant payout ratio, other can have a constant dividend per share , some may give no divided at all etc. However some theorist believe that dividend policy is irrelevant other believe relevant.

According to Basher, (1999) profitability and risk analysis is usually needed if a comprehensive evaluation of bank’s performance is required. This is so because investigating the risk and profitability measures is expected to indicate how the depositors and shareholders’ funds are used. For example, the profitability measures determine the bank’s market valuation and its ability to get funded in the deposit and equity markets, so the higher returns are both necessary and sufficient for attracting additional deposits in the banking industry, so the interest to study the determinants of profitability has grown over time in a wide range of scientific disciplines. Among the earliest studies is the study by Treacy (1980) on 1458 companies in 54 industries, about the relationship between size and profitability, and he has concluded that there is a negative correlation between the size and profitability measured by return on equity.
