Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 -> This incorrectly matches "Mix between owners fund and borrowed fund" with Financial risk, and "Proportion of debt and equity" with Capital budgeting decision, which are wrong associations.
Option 2 -> This incorrectly pairs "Inability to meet payment obligations" with Capital budgeting decision, and "Proportion of debt and equity" with Capital structure, which doesn't align with standard financial definitions.
Option 3 -> This correctly matches: (A) Mix of funds = Capital structure; (B) Inability to pay = Financial risk; (C) Debt-equity proportion = Financial leverage; (D) Asset decisions = Capital budgeting decision. All pairings align with financial management concepts.
Option 4 -> This incorrectly associates "Mix between owners fund and borrowed fund" with Capital budgeting decision and mismatches other terms completely.
Hence, Option 3: (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III) -> Capital structure represents the mix of owner's and borrowed funds; Financial risk arises from inability to meet interest obligations; Financial leverage is measured by the proportion of debt to equity; Capital budgeting decisions involve long-term asset investments affecting profitability and competitiveness -> correct
