| rockeR | I really dont understand this concept. little used tax shield--->tax deductibility of interest payment. why?? |
| setmefree | assume the reason for low after tax income is because of high tax rate, then the firm can take more advantage from debt interest taxshield, compared to a firm with lower tax rate. |
| todolist | Debt can be written off against taxable income, therefore for company's with little tax shelter, there is more incentive to create more debt and therefore pay less tax |
| Rubbish | less shield=more tax which leads to a larger tax exemption from debt interest |
| khalifa92 | companies shield their income with tax decuctions from increased debt. |
I just wanted to share the good news that I passed CFA Level I!!! Thank you for your help - I think the online question bank helped cut the clutter and made a positive difference.
