An advantage of financing with debt rather than stock is that interest expense is tax-deductible for tax purposes.

This tax benefit can make debt a more attractive form of financing compared to issuing stock, where dividends paid to shareholders are not tax-deductible.

In a short-term lease, the lessor indeed retains the risks and obligations of ownership. This means that while the lessee has the right to use the asset for the lease term, the lessor remains responsible for any risks associated with owning the asset. These risks can include depreciation, obsolescence, and maintenance costs. Additionally, the lessor is typically responsible for insuring the asset and may also be liable for property taxes, depending on the terms of the lease and local regulations.

One way analysts measure the ability of a company to meet its obligations is to calculate the times interest earned ratio for any outstanding debt the company may have. How would a company with $100,000 of outstanding bonds paying 8.5% annually and income before interest and taxes of $50,000, calculate the interest coverage (accrual basis) ratio? a.Income before interest and taxes divided by the interest expense. b.Income before interest and taxes divided by carrying value of the bonds outstanding. c.Income before interest and taxes divided by the face value on bonds. d.Face value of the bonds divided by income before interest and taxes.
