FINANCING
EQUITY AND BORROWED CAPITAL
A. Individual Ownership
A partnership is an association of
two or more persons for the
purpose of engaging in a business
for profit.
ADVANTAGES OF THE PARTNERSHIP
1. More capital may be obtained by the partners
pooling their resources together.
2. It is bound by few legal requirements as to its
accounts, procedures, tax forms and other items
of operation.
3. Dissolution of the partnership may take place at
any time by mere agreement of the partners.
4. It provides an easy method whereby two or more
persons of differing talents may enter into
business, each carrying those burdens that he
can best handle.
DISADVANTAGES OF THE
PARNERSHIP
1. The amount of capital that can be
accumulated is definitely limited.
2. The life of the partnership is determined by the
life of the individual partners. When any partner
dies, the partnership automatically ends.
3. There may be serious disagreement among the
individual partners.
4. Each partner is liable for the debts of the
partnership.
C. The Corporation
A corporation is a distinct legal
entity, separate from the
individuals who own it, and which
can engage in almost any type
of business transaction in which a
real person could occupy himself
or herself.
ADVANTAGES OF THE
CORPORATION
1. It enjoys perpetual life without regard to any change
in the person of its owners, the stockholders.
2. The stockholders of the corporation are not liable for
the debts of the corporation.
3. It is relatively easier to obtain large amounts of money
for expansion, due to its perpetual life.
4. The ownership in the corporation is readily transferred.
5. Authority is easily delegated by the hiring of
managers.
DISADVANTAGES OF THE
CORPORATION
1. The activities of a corporation are limited to
those stated in its charter.
2. It is relatively complicated in formation and
administration.
3. There is a greater degree of governmental
control as compared to other types of
business organizations.
CAPITALIZATION OF A
CORPORATION
The capital of a corporation is
acquired through the sale of
stock. There are two principal
types of capital stock: common
stock and preferred stock.
COMMON STOCK
Common stock represents ordinary ownership without special
guarantees of return. Common stockholders have certain legal
rights, among which are the following:
1. Vote at stockholders meetings.
2. Elect directors and delegates to them power to conduct the
affairs of the business.
3. Sell or dissolve the corporation.
4. Make and amend by the laws of the corporation.
5. Subject to government approval, amend, or change the
character or capital structure.
6. Participate in the profits.
7. Inspect the books of the corporation.
PREFERRED STOCK
2. Coupon Bonds
Coupon bonds have coupon attached to the bond for
each interest payment that will come due during the life
of the bond. The owner of the bond can collect the
interest due by surrendering the coupon to the offices of
the corporation or at specified banks.

Example
A bond issue of P200,000 in 10 year
bonds, in P1,000 units, paying 17%
nominal interest in semi-annual
payments must be retired by the use of a
sinking fund that earns 12%
compounded semi-annually. What is the
total semi-annual expense?
BOND VALUE
The value of a bond is the present worth of all future amounts
that are expected to be received through ownership of the
bond.
