问题如下:
When market interest rate is 7%, a company issues a $1 million bond with maturity of 3-year, a 5% coupon rate, and annual interest payments. After the bond is issued, the maket interest rate increases.
In an analyst's view, which of the following statements is the most correct ?
选项:
A. The debt-to-equity ratio will increase.
B. The debt-to-equity ratio will decrease.
C. The debt-to-equity ratio will stay the same.
解释:
B is correct.
When market interest rates increase, the fair value of a bond with a fixed coupon rate decreases and the company’s economic liability may be lower than its reported debt.
For analytical purposes, in debt-to-equity ratio, lower debt and higher equity will decrease its value.
是债券的未来现金流以发行的时候的市场利率折现之和,市场利率的变动不会影响这个数字的变化呀。也就是说d/e不会产生变化呀 这里说利率上升到7%,也就是相当于经济含义上来说公司的债务变小了,经济利益上讲D/E是变小的,但是账面看D/E并没有变化呀。只是说相对比利率高的时候借债,利率低的时候借债更便宜,因为应该还的数额并没有变。 谢谢赐教
