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.

To clarify the above answer: The firm can take a deduction
on the interest paid on the debt. Thus, the interest paid
on the debt will not be taxed to the corporation, but will
be taxed to the debt holder. This is why it such payments
are essentially receiving "pass-through" status, whereas
dividend payments are taxed when the corporation receives
the funds and when the stock holder receives them - called
"double-taxation."

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.
