| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is to comprehensively analyze earnings management with the cost of capital as a benchmark. In general, companies that earn returns that exceed the cost of capital are expected to improve corporate value. Therefore, in this research, we predict that management would plus the spread which subtracted capital cost from return by earnings management.
As a result of the analysis, we confirmed irregular distortion shape near the zero of the histogram. That is, the frequency of the section exceeding zero is much larger than the frequency of the section below zero. This research provides evidence suggesting that management have achieved benchmark of cost of capital by earnings management.
