This research will seek to answer the following research questions:
I. What are the key factors that influence the capital structure of UK firms?
II. What is the impact of the financial crisis on the capital structure of UK firms?
III. What factors influenced the adjustment or failure to make adjustments on the capital structure of UK firms after the financial crisis?
Regression model:
Leverage ratio = ß + ß1*size + ß2*growth opportunity + ß3*non-debt tax shields + ß4*profitability + ß5*liquidity + ß6*tangibility + e
Dependent variable
Leverage ratio = Total Debt / Total Assets
Independent variable
1 Size: the Natural Logarithm of Total Assets
2 Growth Opportunity:
(Book Value of Total Assets – Book Value of Equity + Market Value of Equity) / Total Assets
3 Non-Debt Tax Shields: Depreciation / Total Assets
4 Profitability: Operating Profit
5 Liquidity: Current Assets / Current Liabilities
6 Tangibility: Fixed Assets / Total Assets
Data collection : collect 200 UK corporations from 2005 to 2010 excluding financial services such as banks
Use SPSS tools including descriptive statistics, correlation matrix and regression analysis to demonstrate and analyze the relation between dependent variable and independent variables from 2005 to 2010 overall.
Use SPSS tools including descriptive statistics, correlation matrix and regression analysis to demonstrate and analyze the relation between dependent variable and independent variables from 2005 to 2006, that is, before the financial crisis.
Use SPSS tools including descriptive statistics, correlation matrix and regression analysis to demonstrate and analyze the relation between dependent variable and independent variables from 2007 to 2008, that is, during the financial crisis.
Use SPSS tools including descriptive statistics, correlation matrix and regression analysis to demonstrate and analyze the relation between dependent variable and independent variables from 2009 to 2010, that is, after the financial crisis.
More important, pay great attention to some key factors such as, in terms of regression analysis part, Adjusted R Square in table Model Summary, “B” under Unstandardized Coefficients in table Coefficients(a) and Sig.in table Coefficients(a) before, during and after financial crisis. Explain why there are changes which are possibly relating to financial crisis.
