How does asset tangibility affect a company's capital structure?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Asset tangibility directly affects a firm's ability to obtain debt financing because lenders prefer collateral-backed loans. Firms with higher tangible assets face lower borrowing constraints and typically carry higher leverage. This relationship is well documented in capital structure research and financial management textbooks. Tangible assets reduce credit risk and expected losses in default, allowing firms to raise debt more easily and at lower cost. Option B correctly captures this core capital structure relationship.

I’m a bit confused; I thought asset tangibility might affect market entry decisions, but I guess that’s more about strategy than capital structure.

This question reminds me of a practice question we had about capital structure, and I feel like the focus was on debt financing being influenced by asset tangibility.

I remember discussing how tangible assets can serve as collateral for loans, so B seems like the right answer, but I wonder if it relates to dividends too.

I think asset tangibility mainly affects a company's ability to secure debt financing, but I'm not entirely sure if it also impacts convertible bonds.
