Answer to Problem 1CQ

The debt offerings and equity offerings are both parts of the capital structure. However, the debt offering is more common and larger also. The reasons for this is as follows:

  • There are a lot of regulations under the Security Exchange Commission for the offering of equity. In comparison, the debt offering has very little regulations.
  • The debt offering can be done easily but equity is issued when the owner of a company wants to sell the proportion of his share to the public.
  • The equity offering takes a lot of time than the debt offerings. The company can take debt in less time compared to the equity.

Explanation of Solution

  • The debt offering means that a company offers total or portion of its shares to the debt holders to purchase the bonds at a rate and price, which is predetermined and specified for a given period of time.
  • The equity offering refers to the offering of the shares by a company in public. Those who purchase the equity are part of the profit and loss of the company and so they are called as shareholders.
  • Thus, there is the difference between the debt offering and the equity offering.
Conclusion

Thus, the debt offering is more common and larger than the equity offering.
