Trading on equity refers to situation in which company includes more debt so that earning per share increases.
Effect of trading on equity-
1.There will be more debt in comparison to debt
2.debt equity ratio or capital structure include debt more
Example-company has debt-4000000
Equity shares capital-1000000(100000 equity shares@10each)
Interest on debt-10 percent
Tax-30%
EBIT-1000000
SOLUTION-EARNING AFTER INTERST=EBIT-INTERST
=1000000-400000=600000
Earning after tax=earning after interst-tax
=600000-180000=420000
EPs=420000/100000=4.2
It states that more debt will result more earning per share but only if return on investment is more than interest on debt.
