Summary
Debt and equity are two ways to raise capital for a corporation. This document helps a student compare the advantages and disadvantages of each type of capital.
Tax advantages of debt
Debt capital has tax advantages. Interest paid on debt is tax-exempt. This lowers the cost of a company's loan.
Advantages of equity capital
Equity capital can be raised more easily than debt capital. The company does not have to repay the money.
Recommendation for Houston Industries
The client should use debt capital for the new corporation. A credit rating agency agrees that debt capital is the best option.
Conclusion and further research
Debt capital is the best financing option for Houston Industries. The company should check again when more capital is needed.
