Abstract: The effects of firm capital structure and business risk on investors' rates of return in agribusiness from 1984 to 1993 are investigated. Measures of firm solvency and liquidity and a measure of business risk are used to explain risk adjusted excess rates of return for agribusiness investors. Results confirm the hypothesis that the capital structure and business risk of agribusiness firms are important determinants of returns to common stock owners. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
