The more conservative a firm's management is, the higher its total debt to total capital ratio [measured as (Short-term debt Lon
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The conservative approach is that the firm has greater level of working capital investment than the competitor or industry average. So to fund the higher level of working capital the company has a set of policy and targets related to the level of debt level which means the company will not be willing to borrow further money if their borrowing exceeds the set limit or benchmark. They might use the equity instruments (Preferred stock or Common equity) to fund the higher level of working capital.

So their no absolute argument whether the denominator will increase or the nominator will increase in the Total debt to capital ratio. Hence the statement is false.

The government imposed a fine on the Not-So-Legal Company. The fine calls for a payment of $100,000 today, $150,000 one year fro
belka [17]

Answer:

The amount after 2 years will be $460590

Explanation:

The payment which is done 2 year from today = $200000

The payment which is done one year from today = $150000

Rate of interest = 3 %

So the amount after 1 year

A=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^n=150000(1+\frac{3}{100})^1=$154500

The amount which is done today = $100000

So amount after 2 years

A=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^n=100000(1+\frac{3}{100})^2=$106090

So total amount after 2 years = $106090+$154500+$200000 = $460590
