horsena [70]

Answer:

Option B,

The higher the degree of financial leverage employed by a firm, THE HIGHER THE PROBABILITY THAT THE FIRM WILL ENCOUNTER FINANCIAL DISTRESS.

Explanation:

The degree of financial leverage (DFL) is a leverage ratio that measures the sensitivity of a company's earnings per share to fluctuations in it's operating income, as a result of changes in its capital structure.

This ratio indicates that the higher the degree of financial leverage, the more volatile earnings will be.

The use of financial leverage varies greatly by industry and by the business sector. There are many industry sectors in which companies operate with a high degree of financial leverage (examples are retail stores, grocery store, banking institutions, airlines...). Unfortunately, the excessive use of financial leverage by many companies in this sector has played a major role in forcing a lot of them to file for bankruptcy.

Therefore, if the degree of financial leverage employed by a firm is high, then the probability that the firm will encounter financial distress will also be high.

Other things held constant, which of the following events is most likely to encourage a firm to increase the amount of debt in i

True [87]

Answer: Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct Option: The corporate tax rate increases.

If there is an increase in the corporate tax rate then this will induce the firms to increase the amount of their debt. This is due to the fact that the firms with more debt are going to pay less tax because of the large interest expense. Due to large interest expenses, their income before tax reduces.

Hence, large corporate taxes encourage firms to increase the amount of debt. Therefore, the firms with no debt pays higher taxes than the firms with higher amount of debt.
