    B Decrease Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    D It depends on the amount of debt Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Redemption of debentures will reduce the overall debt of the company. Since Debt/Equity = Debt/Networth of the company, given no change in networth, a reduction in debt will also reduce the debt/equity ratio.
