Zróżnicowanie branżowe poziomu i struktury kapitału własnego

In Polish companies the equity is prevailing over the liabilities. The average leverage ratio (D/E) is less than 83%. However, it might be presumed that this leverage ratio varies from industry to in- dustry. Since every industry involves a different technology application, operates on different product markets, and is exposed to different type of risk. The differences also exist in the level of fixed assets and operating costs. The aim of this article is to analyze the importance of equity as well as its sector differentiation. On the basis of the above findings it might be concluded that each particular industry follows the same behaviour patterns and trends, yet industry nature affects the level and structure of the equity at the same time.Artykuł nie zawiera abstraktu w języku polski
