    Pop Co is switching from using mainly long?term fixed rate finance to fund its working
    capital to using mainly short?term variable rate finance.
    Indicate, by clicking in the relevant boxes, whether each of the following items will
    increase, decrease or see no change with this change in working capital financing policy.
    Ratio Increase Decrease No change
    Finance costs      
    Re?financing risk      
    Interest rate risk   
    Overcapitalisation risk 
    Sir in this question the answer states that the overcapitalisation risk will have no change..but sir if we change from long term to short term finance…we are reducing the working capital and overcapitalisation risk should decrease?

    A. Finance costs will increase
    B. Re-financing risk will increase
