这题能帮忙解答一下吗?

NO.PZ2023020602000192

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?

同学你好,请看以下两页讲义截图,就是对本题相关知识点的阐述

题目是说公司历史上发行了一笔债券,债券发行时候的市场利率是6%。但是现在的市场利率是7%,问如果只按照债券账面价值(而不用fair value)来衡量债券的话,会导致高估还是低估公司现在的这笔债务

按照第二页讲义的两个公式,(也可以结合fixed income学过的相关知识点一起),市场利率上升,意味着债券的fair value是下降的。但是债券的carrying value是用历史发行时候的interest rate计算的,所以此时carrying value大于债券的真实fair value

以公允价值来看,公司账面记载的这笔债务的价值就过高了,属于overestimate,所以选A

至于C,因为interest coverage ratio= EBIT/interest ,interest的计算只和债券的carrying value及历史的interest rate有关,和市场利率无关,所以公司的interest coverage ratio是不变的,C错
