Answer / rajeev d
A parent company is "the original flagship" which has given
rise to other businesses. If they retain more than 51%
shares then it is a parent company AND a holding company.
A holding company is one which holds 51% share. But it may
not be the parent company i.e. it may have got the shares
through acquisition.

Answer / giridhar babu
Holding Company - If a company holds substantial interest
in other company, then former company called as holding
company; Usually the interest is @51%.
Parent Company - If an existing company forms a new company
in which existing company holds maximum equity, the it can
be called as parent company.
In both the cases, holding interest is material to
understand Holding and Parent situation.
Once this holding and subsidiary concept emerged in India
after booming up Software Industry, the gap between Holding
and Parent has been minimized.

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.
