1)Sir that question on Ace ltd was wrong?
2) If a company has a high financial gearing ratio then it indicates/means high financial risk na?
3) If a company has a low financial gearing ratio then it indicates/means low financial risk na?
April 11, 2018 at 1:49 pm #4461761) sorry not ace ltd, the MCQ in kit that which of the following would be implied by a decrease in company operating gearing ratio, this is a wrong question?
April 11, 2018 at 3:20 pm #446184The question in the kit is ‘wrong’ because it does not state how the operating gearing was being measured.
With regard to financial gearing, there is no argument – high gearing ratio means high financial risk; low gearing ratio means low financial risk (whichever of the two measures of the gearing ratio is used).
