I start my disclaimer that i might be wrong..But i must give it a Try...

Now According to the cost of equity formula it is =Rf+B(Risk premium),,,,risk premium is nothing but the difference b/w Rm-Rf.....so the equation becomes Rf+B(Rm-Rf)..here Rm is Expected returns from the stock........

When the Rf increases Ist part of the equation increases the cost of equity whereas if we see the second part of the equation decreases the cost of Equity(If Rm is kept constant)......but As Rf increases the Rm also increases and hence the The Second part of the equation Also increases so the effect of Increases Cost of equity....


I hope i made some sense....

How do you post an increase in an asset and an increase in equity?

To post an increase in an asset, you would debit the asset account, reflecting its rise in value. Simultaneously, to record an increase in equity, you would credit an equity account, such as retained earnings or contributed capital. This dual entry maintains the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity) and ensures that the financial statements remain balanced. For example, if a company receives cash from an owner, it would debit Cash (asset) and credit Owner’s Equity (equity).


What transaction would increase a liability and decrease equity?

A transaction that would increase a liability and decrease equity is when a company takes out a loan. The loan amount increases the liabilities on the balance sheet, reflecting the obligation to repay the borrowed funds. Simultaneously, if the loan proceeds are used to purchase an asset that does not generate immediate revenue, it can lead to a decrease in equity due to interest expenses or other costs associated with the loan affecting retained earnings.


What are the possible ways to increase debt-equity ratio?

The debt-to-equity ratio is a very simply calculation. Just divide a company's outstanding debt at a given date (usually quarter-end or year-end) by the company's equity on that same date. So, to increase this ratio, you would need to either increase the debt balance (i.e. borrow more) or decrease the equity balance (i.e. pay a dividend). Keep in mind, while increasing the debt-to-equity ratio will increase the ROE (return on equity) for a company, it also increases risk. Additionally, most banks include covenants in their loans that limit the debt-to-equity ratio for their customers (thereby making certain that the company has an equity "cushion" should an economic downturn occur).
