Your company needs to raise money for its business.

• It has three options:
  • Sell common stock;
  • Sell nonvoting preferred stock; or
  • Issue corporate bonds.
• The board of directors of your company has asked you to provide the pros/cons of two of the three options.
• It has told you that it is only concerned with the following two factors:
  • Not diluting current ownership control, and
  • Getting the best federal income tax treatment possible for the corporation.

Please make sure that you address these two factors as you explain the pros and cons of the two options you chose.
