问题如下:
Fairmont Golf issued fixed rate debt when interest rates were 6 percent. Rates have since risen to 7 percent. Using only the carrying amount (based on historical cost) reported on the balance sheet to analyze the company's financial position would most likely cause an analyst to:选项:
A.overestimate Fairmont's economic liabilities. B.underestimate Fairmont's economic liabilities. C.underestimate Fairmont's interest coverage ratio.解释:
When interest rates rise, bonds decline in value. Thus, the carrying amount of the bonds being carried on the balance sheet is higher than the market value. The company could repurchase the bonds for less than the carrying amount, so the economic liabilities are overestimated. Because the bonds are issued at a fixed rate, there is no effect on interest coverage.特别是答案的那几句话,没看懂;以及讲义哪里有相关知识点的展示吗?
