Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements.
- A company or business is said to be “over leveraged” if it has unsustainably high debt against its operating cash flows and equity.
- An over leveraged company would find it difficult to make interest and principal repayments to its creditors.
- An over leveraged company will always become bankrupt.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: b)
A company or business is said to be “over leveraged” if it has unsustainably high debt against its operating cash flows and equity. Such a company would find it difficult to make interest and principal repayments to its creditors, and may struggle to meet its operating expenses as well. In the latter case, the company may be forced to borrow even more just to keep going, and thus enter a vicious cycle. This situation can ultimately lead to the company going bankrupt.
