APPENDIX

This study examined the impact of capital structure and liquidity on corporate return of firms in Nigeria using the Nigeria Brewery as a case study. This investigation is imperative because the choice of an appropriate financing mix constitutes a critical decision for the survival and continuous growth of any business organization not only because of the need to maximize returns to the various interest holders, but also because of the impact such informed decision has on the performance of an organization in a competitive environment. The survival and growth of a firm need resources but financing these resources has limitations. In an attempt to achieve the broad objective of the study, three hypotheses was raised in the study for validation using secondary data covering the period of 2010 to 2014 collected from Nigeria Brewery Annual Report and Statement of Financial Position, 2010-2014. The multiple regression method was used in the analysis and the result was facilitated using the statistical package for social and sciences (SPSS 20.0). The result of the analysis at 5% level of significance shows that equity financing exerts a significant positive impact on corporate return. It was also found that, debt financing and corporate return exert a significant negative impact on corporate return. Finally the study established that liquidity position does not have a significant impact on corporate return of firms in Nigeria. Among others, the study recommends that organizations should ensure persistent and sustainable growth in capital structure.
