ABSTRACT
This project work
examined the effect of capital structure on the profitability of selected
business organizations in Nigeria. Ex-post facto research design was adopted
while simple regression was employed to analyze the data collected. The result
revealed that debt financing has a positive significant effect on net profit
margin of selected firms. Also debt/equity ratio has a negative but
insignificant effect on net profit margin of selected firms. The findings
equally revealed that both short and long term debt ratios have negative but
insignificant effect on net profit margin of selected firms. Based on the
findings, it is recommended that management of quoted manufacturing firms
should increase their commitment to short term debt to total assets ratio in order
to improve the financial performance from their business operation. Management
and shareholders should reduce the level of total debt to total assets and long
term debt to total assets ratios in order to change the direction of
association between these two ratios and financial performance of their firms.
