To determine
To analyze: The main differences between a bond and a stock.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
In order to fund or extend its activities, stocks and bonds represent two separate ways for an organisation to raise capital.
A bond is a fixed income asset representing a loan made to a borrower by a lender. Bonds are units of debt issued and securitized as tradable assets by businesses. Bonds reflect debts. When a company or business issues a bond, it issues debt with the conformity of paying the interest for using the money.
Whereas, a stock is a general word used to describe a company's ownership certificate. Stocks are literally individual company shares. When a business issues stocks, it sells a piece of itself in return for cash.
