Financial risk is borne by:

A)
 creditors.
B)
 managers.
C)
 common shareholders.

Common shareholders are the residual owners of the company. As such, they experience the benefits of above-normal gains in good times and the pain of losses when the business is in a slow period. Financial leverage magnifies the variability of earnings per share due to the existence of the required interest payments.
