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.
<span>One criticism against the ‘supply-slide’ cuts in the marginal
tax rates is that they fail to increase the aggregate supply in a more rapid

which is the goods and services’ final demand.</span>

Answer:
$372,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount to be reported in the balance sheet is shown below:
= Number of shares of common stock × fair value of the Papa stock on that date per share
= 6,200 shares × $60
= $372,000
Since in the question it is given that the Nana company does not have significant influence over Papa Company which means that the net income, retained earning, dividend is not be considered.
Therefore, the investment should be reported at the fair value
