Company: Activision Blizzard

Using the annual report of the corporation that you have been researching these weeks, take a look at that corporation's Statement of Stockholders' Equity. Tell us about the common stock that it issued including its outstanding shares. Also, take a look at a website, such as Yahoo Finance and find information about the corporation's price per share and whether or not it issues a dividend. Your corporation could have probably raised a lot of money by issuing long-term debt instead of issuing stock. What are some advantages of issuing common stock instead of issuing long-term debt? What are some disadvantages?
