Hello Everyone,
Congrats, we have made it to the final week of the course! I have chosen to discuss the difference between equity investments and debt investments for this final forum. A company must raise capital for its needs, and they have two primary options: equity investments or debt investments. Equity financing is when you sell a portion of the company for capital, while debt financing is borrowing the capital and keeping the portion of the company. An advantage of equity investments is that a firm is not required to pay back
the borrowed capital, the sale of the portion of the company acts as the repayment. The disadvantage is that the company will now have to share profits with the new partner, which can become exceptionally large in comparison to the original capital amount. The advantage of debt investments is that no ownership is relinquished, and the interest to pay back the loan is tax-deductible. The downside of debt financing is having debt, which you must pay back.
Although most companies use a combination of both options, I found an alternative view of companies considering the decision of using equity financing or debt financing. The referenced article takes the country's' economic or financial status into consideration when considering both options. This shows a case in Islam and concludes that using equity investments is best to help the financial state of Islam. It was a pleasure working with everyone and best of luck!

Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.Paul Duncan, financial manager of EduSoft Inc., is facing a dilemma. The firm was founded 5 years ago to provide educational software for the rapidly expanding primary and secondary school markets. Although EduSoft has done well, the firm's founder believes an industry shakeout is imminent. To survive, EduSoft must grab market share now, and this will require a large infusion of new capital.Because he expects earnings to continue rising sharply and looks for the stock price to follow suit, Mr. Duncan does not think it would be wise to issue new common stock at this time. On the other hand, interest rates are currently high by historical standards, and the firm's B rating means that interest payments on a new debt issue would be prohibitive.…

When a company has post-acquisition expenditures related to Property, Plant, and Equipment it must determine whether the amount
should be expensed as an ordinary repair or capitalized as a major repair, addition, or betterment. This requires considering the nature
of the expenditure and the use of judgment.
Many companies use a threshold amount. Any expenditure below the threshold is expensed. Items over the threshold are examined
and a decision is made about whether to expense or capitalize the item. This approach is justified by both materiality and considering
costs and benefits. For example, a company with $94 million in net property, plant, and equipment and $250 million of operating
expenses would not consider a $100 repair as material. Plus, if the company had to spend thousands of dollars examining every repair
expenditure, the costs of doing the analysis could easily outweigh the benefits.
