Question #: 107
Topic #: 5

A company is investing in a huge diversification project. The plan is to develop and sell a whole new product line that they have never sold before. They've already started a massive marketing campaign for this new

product line and they are getting good feedback in their market research.

They've had to use debt funding in order to finance the project, but they hope that the returns will be worth the investment and restructuring. If they are successful they will be a step ahead of all their competitors and offer

something none of them can.

I agree with Leontine, the company seems to have a high risk appetite to invest in a new product line.

I think the company is risk seeking because they are taking on debt to finance a new project.

I think the answer is C. Risk neutral. They're not avoiding risk, but they're also not actively seeking it. They're just trying to diversify and stay competitive.

This is a classic case of a risk-seeking company. Investing in a whole new product line with debt financing definitely shows they are willing to take on high risk for potentially high returns.
