The Hausman test was used to determine the appropriate Model between the Fixed and Random Models, the two main methods appropriate for analysing panel data. The test affirmed the appropriateness of the Fixed Effect Model. The finding shows that capital structure has a positive and statistically significant impact on the industry's profitability. Because; each of the components of capital structure (D.R. and EQTY) is positive and significant since the respective p-values are less than the average critical value of 5% (0.05).
