15. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
A. One drawback of forming a corporation is that you lose the limited liability that you would
otherwise receive as a sole proprietor.
B. Since in bankruptcy they must be paid in full before stockholders receive anything,
corporate bondholders generally prefer to see corporate managers invest in high risk/high
return projects rather than low risk/low return projects.
C. Potential conflicts between stockholders and bondholders are increased if a firm's bonds are
convertible into its common stock.
D. One advantage of operating a business as a corporation is that stockholders can deduct their
pro rata share of the taxes the firm pays, thereby eliminating the double taxation investors
would face in a partnership.
E. Since bondholders receive fixed payments, they do not share in the gains if risky projects
turn out to be highly successful. However, they do share in the losses if risky projects fail
and drive the firm into bankruptcy. Therefore, bondholders generally prefer to see
corporate managers invest in low risk/low return projects rather than high risk/high return
projects.
