Hello all, first time posting here. I have two questions: I.) "When a firm increases debt in the capital structure:" A: Expected return on firms common stock increases. I searched CFAI Reading 37 (the reading the Analyst Notes basic questions cover) and even did a word search, and couldn't find any instance of this being covered. Where is this point covered in the reading? II.) "In a world of no taxes, the introduction of a small amount of debt into the capital structure of an all equity firm:" A: does not impact the risk of the firm Going over the CFAI material, I couldn't find any mention of debt not impacting the risk of the firm, given no taxes. Could someone explain this to me? Thank you! |
