उत्तर
Option A is better as in order to raise fixed capital, the ROI (Rate of return on investment), i.e. 10-12% should be higher than the interest rate on borrowings, i.e. 9% in option A. Thus, option A should be opted by the company. The concept that is being used in this decision is Trading on Equity as there is favorable financial leverage involved in the first option.
