Solution

The false statement is: "As the interest expenses increases, the Basic Earning Power Ratio decreases."

Explanation: The Basic Earning Power Ratio (BEP) is calculated as EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) divided by Total Assets. This ratio measures the raw earning power of assets before the influence of taxes and interest, so it does not change with an increase in interest expenses.
