问题如下:
Wang Securities had a long-term stable debt-to-equity ratio of 0.65. Recent bank borrowing for expansion into South America raised the ratio to 0.75. The increased leverage has what effect on the asset beta and equity beta of the company?
选项:
A.The asset beta and the equity beta will both rise.
B.The asset beta will remain the same and the equity beta will rise.
C.The asset beta will remain the same and the equity beta will decline.
解释:
B is correct.
Asset risk does not change with a higher debt-to-equity ratio. Equity risk rises with higher debt.
AxβA=ExβE 由于A不变 所以左边不变 右边由于D/E的上升导致E的权重变小了 所以E变小 βE变大
