Document Summary

Companies issue both stocks and bonds to raise capital. Interest associated with bonds is tax deductible, interest expense is tax deductible. Issuing bonds can increase the return to shareholders if company can get a low interest rate and invest in projects that have a high rate of return. Risk of bankruptcy as a result of fixed payments to bondholders. Negative impact on cash flows as bonds must be repaid at a certain time in the future. Bond principal: the amount a company must pay to bondholders at maturity date. Coupon rate (stated rate/contract rate/nominal rate): interest rate for bond, used to compute the periodic cash interest payments. Coupon rate is annual, so if payments are made more than once a year, divide the coupon rate by the frequency of payments per year to get the period interest rate. In all cases, the amount paid out per year is the same.
