Fairmont Golf issued fixed rate debt when interest rates were 6 percent. Rates have since risen to 7 percent. Using only the carrying amount (based on historical cost) reported on the balance sheet to analyze the company’s financial position would most likely cause an analyst to: A overestimate Fairmont’s economic liabilities. B underestimate Fairmont’s economic liabilities. C underestimate Fairmont’s interest coverage ratio. 请问C如何分析? 谢谢

同学你好,从现金流的角度看,企业每一期支付的interest(也就是coupon)是不变的,而EBIT也没有变化,因此interest coverage ratio不变
而从利润表的角度看,由于不知道这个债券是折价债券还是溢价债券,因此无法确定利润表中确认的interest expense是逐年上升还是逐年下降的,因此无法确定interest的变化,因而无法确定interest coverage ratio如何变

我的疑问点就在于这个分母:到底是interest payment(coupon payment)还是interest expense。按照公式,是interest payment,那就是不变,答案里写的是“Because the bonds are issued at a fixed rate, there is no effect on interest coverage.”。那如果是interest expense,应该那么也应该是overestimate吧?因为liability overestimate。
不知道到底是用哪种考虑

同学你好,用coupon payment和interest expense都是可以的哦,实务当中也都是可以用的,不过由于interest coverage ratio更倾向于看偿付利息的能力,而利息的偿付更多的是根据当期需要支付的coupon payment来看,因此使用coupon payment更多
解析中倾向于使用的是coupon payment哈

如果是使用interest expense,你的分析思路也是可行的哦
