1- Identify at least FOUR different ways in which a company can finance itself (“obtain funds”):
The sources of funds are –
Equity
Lon
g term debt
Preference shares
Debentures
Equity is an important source of fund where the required capital is divided into n number of equal parts and then such parts (shares) are issued in public for subscription. The funds so raised are although time taking and costly but no fixed obligation is attached with it. Equity is also most lucrative financial avenue for investment as it gives regular income in the form of dividend as well as capital gain.

It is easy, quick and cheaper to raise the fund but fixed obligation of interest payment is attached with it. Therefore, company’s risk of insolvency increases with increase of debt in its capital.

                                     Of debt

                = 2.40% + 5.40%
                = 7.80%
