    The 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).

    1) Sir if a company calculates operating gearing as FC / VC, and if the ratio falls then in this case
    a) Operating risk decreases
    b) Profits are less risky
    c) Profits are less affected by change in sales and production volume and
    d) Company is less risky

    Is it right?
