Simple Explanation of Depreciation, EPS, Price to Earnings, Book Value, and Debt to Equity: Even Your Kids Can Understand This!
Meet Ayaan, the Burger seller! ๐Ÿ” He launched his business with 10L of his own money. ๐Ÿ’ฐ This 10L is equity.
To expand, he borrowed 5L for a new burger-making machine and shop.
So, 15L is the total capital of his business. ๐Ÿ’ผ
Debt to Equity (D/E) Ratio:
Now, calculating the Debt to Equity is simple, since we know the Debt amount (5L) and Equity (10L).
Debt to Equity = Debt / Equity D/E = 5L / 10L = 0.5
Ayaan has 0.5X of debt to his equity in his business. ๐Ÿ“Š

Depreciation:
Depreciation is how we account for the wear and tear of Ayaan's burger-making machine over time.
Letโ€™s say the machine costs 5L and will last 5 years. Each year, Ayaan will depreciate the machine by 1L (5L / 5 years).
Annual Depreciation = 1L
So, every year, 1L is deducted from the machine's value as a cost.

Earnings Per Share (EPS):
Earnings Per Share (EPS) tells us how much money Ayaanโ€™s business makes for each share of stock.
Suppose Ayaanโ€™s business has 1,000 shares, and his net profit is 1.7L.
EPS = Net Profit / Number of Shares EPS = 1.7L / 1,000 = 170
So, each share earns 170 rupees. ๐Ÿ“ˆ

Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio:
The Price-to-earnings (P/E) Ratio shows how much investors are willing to pay for each rupee of earnings.
If Ayaanโ€™s business shares are priced at 1,700 each and EPS is 170:
P/E Ratio = Price per Share / EPS P/E Ratio = 1,700 / 170 = 10
Investors are willing to pay 10 times the earnings per share. ๐Ÿ”

Book Value:
Book Value is the net value of Ayaanโ€™s business if all assets were sold and all debts paid. Itโ€™s essentially the equity.
Book Value = Total Assets - Total Liabilities Book Value = 15L - 5L = 10L
So, the book value of Ayaanโ€™s business is 10L. ๐Ÿ’ผ
