Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements is false?

• A) Because insurance reduces the risk of financial distress, it can relax this tradeoff and allow the firm to increase its use of debt financing.
• B) By lowering the volatility of the stock, insurance discourages concentrated ownership by an outside director or investor who will monitor the firm and its management.
• C) When a firm is subject to graduated income tax rates, insurance can produce a tax savings if the firm is in a higher tax bracket when it pays the premium than the tax bracket it is in when it receives the insurance payment in the event of a loss.
• D) In a perfect market without other frictions, insurance companies should compete until they are just earning a fair return and the NPV from selling insurance is zero.
