What is a disadvantage of borrowing additional capital?

-Interest must be paid on the loan, which decreases the net income. This decrease in net income decreases the amount available for dividends. -the amount borrowed must be repaid in the future.

What are two advantages of raising needed capital by issuing stock?

-The additional capital becomes part of a corporation's permanent capital. Permanent capital does not have to be returned to stockholders as long as the business continues to operate. -dividends do not have to be paid to stockholders unless the earnings are sufficient to warrant such payments.

What are two reasons why the stated interest rate of a bond will vary from the market interest rate?

-Unlike market interest rates, the stated interest rate is often a rounded percentage, such as 6%, 6.5%, or 7%. During the final weeks of the registration process, market interest rates can be expected to change. -Investors will adjust the price they are willing to pay for the bond, based on the current market interest rate.

differences between bonds and notes payable

-most notes payable are for one year or less -bonds generally run for a long period of time, such as 5, 10, or 20 years. -bonds payable tend to be issued for larger amounts than notes payable.

-obtain for short periods -obtain from one bank or one individual

advantage of issuing stock

-the additional capital becomes part of a corporation's permanent capital. -Permanent capital does not have to be returned to stockholders as long as the business continues to operate. -dividends do not have to be paid to stockholders unless the earnings are sufficient to warrant such payments
