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.
