Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each statement:

Statement 1: "Debt financing requires borrowing money whereas equity financing requires selling a portion of the company."

• Debt financing involves taking loans (borrowing money) that must be repaid. Equity financing involves selling ownership stakes (shares) in the company. This matches the definitions. True

Statement 2: "Equity financing places a large financial burden on the company."

• Equity financing does not require regular repayments (unlike debt, which has interest/loan repayments). The financial burden (e.g., mandatory payments) is low for equity. Thus, this is false. False

Statement 3: "Creditors look favorably upon a relatively low debt - to - equity ratio, which benefits the company if it needs to access additional debt financing in the future."

• A low debt - to - equity ratio means the company has less debt relative to equity, indicating lower financial risk. Creditors prefer lending to less - risky companies, so this helps in future debt financing. True

Statement 4: "The main advantage of equity financing is that there is no obligation to repay the money acquired through it."

• Equity financing involves selling ownership; there is no legal obligation to repay investors (unlike debt, which has repayment obligations). This is a key advantage of equity financing. True
