Hi sir Q;Which of the following would occur following loan notes issue??
1)Earning/share would Fall 2)The cost of equity would Rise 3)Tax shield would Rise
I think All statements are correct but actually its not 1 is wrong by giving Reason Earning/share would rise as the increase in operating profit exceeds the increase in interest expense
Point is when we issue loan notes the earning attribute to shareholders needs to be fall because of increase interest expense..then why statement 1 is wrong..
