Which of the following is most likely to increase financial leverage?选项:
A.Cutting prices B.Replacing short-term debt with long-term debt C.Entering a sale-leaseback transaction for the company's head office building解释:
SolutionC is correct. Entering a sale–leaseback transaction for the company's head office building increases financial leverage. The company sells assets with the obligation to repurchase the assets in the future as well as make lease payments. These transactions increase its financial leverage. Additionally, sale and leaseback transactions reduce the business's overall asset base, which, in turn, reduces its ability to add more debt should the company need to raise debt. Cutting prices reduces the profit margin for the business, thereby increasing operating leverage. Replacing short-term debt with long-term debt does not change financial leverage: Debt, irrespective of maturity, is simply debt.
