Answer the following question:
The Return on Investment (ROI) of a company ranges between 10 - 12% for the past three years. To finance its future fixed capital needs, it has the following options for borrowing debt:
Option ‘A’: Rate of interest 9%
Option ‘B’: Rate of interest 13%
Which source of debt, ‘Option A’ or ‘Option B’, is better? Give reasons in support of your answer. Also, state the concept being used in taking the decision.
उत्तर
Option A is better as in order to raise fixed capital, the ROI (Rate of return on investment), i.e. 10-12% should be higher than the interest rate on borrowings, i.e. 9% in option A. Thus, option A should be opted by the company. The concept that is being used in this decision is Trading on Equity as there is favorable financial leverage involved in the first option.
