Answer:
A firm with financial leverage has a larger equity multiplier than an otherwise identical firm with no debt in its capital structure.
Explanation:
The equity multiplier basically tells us what portion of the company's assets were financed through equity, i.e. what portion was financed by the company's owners.
the formula to determine the equity multiplier = total assets / total equity
the higher the equity multiplier, the higher the return on equity (ROE), but a high equity multiplier (financial leverage) also increases the company's risk since eventually it might not be able to pay off its creditors if something goes wrong.
Answer:
D. the combinations of output and the interest rate where the goods market is in equilibrium.
Explanation:
The IS curve means investment-savings curve.
The IS curve is the combinations of output and the interest rate where the goods market is in equilibrium.
It is a curve which shows the different combinations of income (Y) and the real interest rate (r) such that the market for goods and services is in equilibrium.
This means that, every point on the IS curve is an income/real interest rate pair (Y,r) such that the demand for goods is equal to the supply of goods(Qs=Qd) or equivalently, the desired national saving is equal to desired investment.
