Hey, is this a finance exam or a comedy show? I'm going with B, the net worth decreases. Unless the debenture is made of helium, then maybe it increases. Just kidding, of course!

I think you're right, net worth decreases with nonconvertible debentures.

I bet the answer is B. Decreases the net worth. What else would you expect from a debenture? It's like adding weight to a balloon - the net worth just goes down.

Hmm, this one's tricky. I'll have to go with D. None of the above, because the net worth definitely doesn't increase. Maybe it's a trick question?

I think the correct answer is A) it increases, because issuing a nonconvertible debenture adds to the assets of the corporation without affecting its liabilities.
