From the point of view of a corporate issuer, the most conservative means of raising capital would be the issuance of: A) common stock. B) preferred stock. C) convertible preferred stock. D) convertible bonds.

A) common stock. Common stock issues add to the capital of a corporation and do not saddle it with additional cash flow demands. This approach is the most conservative. Because of the desire of bondholders and preferred stockholders to receive their interest and dividends, respectively, the issuance of preferred stock or bonds creates additional and ongoing demands on a corporation's cash flow.

An investor anticipating a rise in interest rates would likely purchase: A) variable rate demand obligations (VRDOs) or reset bonds B) corporate bonds C) bonds issued by the US Treasury D) callable bonds
