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 / a.b.

Firms try to issue equity under the guise of debt because
the firm can take a deduction on all interest paid
throughout the year. Thus, the firm can enjoy pass-through
taxation, theoretically, on the payment of the interest
because those dollars are tax-free. This reduces the
overall taxable income of the firm, which reduces the tax
burden, which may even result in more money to distribute as
dividends to those equity holders. It's a win-win situation
for all, except the IRS. Thus, the IRS/Congress created 385
of the Internal Revenue Code which allows the IRS to
evaluate corporate debt to determine if it is essentially
equity under the guise as debt and treat it as such.

The above answers regarding the nature of debt and equity
are correct for the most part, but do not go far enough to
answer the question asked.

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.
