Who are interested in the firm’s capital structure to ascertain its influences on
firm’s earning and risk?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Investors, who have invested their money in the firm’s shares,
are interested about the firm’s earnings. As such, they concentrate on
the analysis of the firm’s present and future profitability. They are also
interested in the firm’s capital structure to ascertain its influences on
firm’s earning and risk. They also evaluate the efficiency of the
management and determine whether a change is needed or not. However,
in some large companies, the shareholders’ interest is limited to decide
whether to buy, sell or hold the shares.
