question 39

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements is most correct?

• A) Under normal conditions, a firm's expected ROE would probably be higher if it financed with short-term rather than with long-term debt, but the use of short-term debt would probably increase the firm's risk.
• B) Conservative firms generally use no short-term debt and thus have zero current liabilities.
• C) A short-term loan can usually be obtained more quickly than a long-term loan, but the cost of short-term debt is likely to be higher than that of long-term debt.
• D) If a firm that can borrow from its bank buys on terms of 2/10, net 30 days, and if it must pay by Day 30 or else be cut off, then we would expect to see zero accounts payable on its balance sheet.
• E) If one of your firm's customers is "stretching" its accounts payable, this may be a nuisance but does not represent a real financial cost to your firm as long as the firm periodically pays off its entire balance.
