Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

Debt ratio is defined as the ratio of total debt to total asset. which means a company has more liabilities than assets.

So company HD will have a higher ROE because of them having a higher debt ratio.

Answer:

D) Company HD has a higher ROE than Company LD.

Explanation:

This is easier to explain using an example:

                                           HD                               LD

total sales                          $100                            $100

profit margin                       10%                               10%

total assets                         $50                              $50

total liabilities                     $30                              $25

total equity                         $20                              $25

debt ratio                            0.6                               0.5

return on equity            = 10/20 = 50%            = 10/25 = 40%

Since company HD has a higher debt ratio, it means that stockholders' equity is lower compared to company LD. Since ROE measures how much profit is generated by each dollar invested, a lower denominator results in a higher ratio.

Companies have the opportunity to use varying amounts of different sources of financing, including internal and external sources
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

A) Company A is the one that is financially leveraged.

Where there is the presence of debt in the capital structure of a firm, that firm is said to be Financially leveraged.

B) A is true.

A company's return on equity or expected returns increases because the use of leverage increases stock volatility. Volatility increases its level of risk which in turn increases returns. This happens only if the company is operating an ideal level of financial leverage.

On the other hand, however, but excessive debt can increase the risk of default and can lead to low returns or even bankruptcy.

Cheers!
