24. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

A) If a change in the bankruptcy code made bankruptcy less costly to corporations, this

would tend to reduce corporations' debt ratios.

B) The debt ratio that maximizes expected EPS generally exceeds the debt ratio that

maximizes share price.

C) If a company were to issue debt and use the money to repurchase common stock, this

would reduce its basic earning power ratio. (Assume that the repurchase has no impact on the

company’s operating income.)

D) If a firm lowered its fixed costs but increased its variable costs by just enough to hold

total costs at the present level of sales constant, this would increase its operating leverage.

E) Increasing its use of financial leverage is one way to increase a firm’s basic earning

power (BEP).
