Under which of the following situation, a company is likely to get the benefit of trading on equity?

Solution

Correct Option: 2

Trading on equity occurs when a company uses debt to increase earnings per share available to equity shareholders. It is beneficial only when the Return on Investment (ROI) is greater than the Cost of Debt, as the extra return after paying interest on debt accrues to equity shareholders. Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
