What are the main differences between corporate debt and
equity? Why do some firms try to issue equity in the guise
of debt?

Answer Posted / archana kulkarni

Equity capital is own fund whereas corporate debt is owed
fund.

Interest payment is mandatory on debt each year whereas
dividend is not re madatory to be declared and paid every
year. Also equity is long term capital and payable by
Company on liquidation whereas debt is to be paid on
specific time as prescribed in terms & conditions at the
time of issue. Therefore some firms try to issue equity in
the guise of debt.

Occasionally it is said that issuing convertible bonds is better than issuing stock when the firms shares are undervalued. Suppose that the financial manager of Decent Furniture Company does in fact have inside information indicating that the decent stock price is too low. Decent furniture earnings will in fact be higher than investor’s expectations. Suppose further that the inside information cannot be released without giving away a valuable competitive secret. Clearly, selling shares at the present low price would harm Decent’s existing shareholders. Will they also lose if convertible bonds are issued? If they do lose in this case, is the loss more or less than it would be if common stock is issued? Now suppose that investors forecast earnings accurately, but still under value the stock because they overestimate Decent’s actual business risk. Does this change your answer to the questions posed in the preceding paragraph? Explain.
