CHAPTER 20 HYBRID FINANCING: PREFERENCE SHARES, LEASING, OPTIONS, WARRANTS, AND CONVERTIBLES
I. Questions 1. Capitalizing lease payments means computing the present value of future lease payments and showing them as an asset and liability on the balance sheet. 2. The preemptive right provides current shareholders with a first option to buy new shares. In this fashion, their voting right and claim to earnings cannot be diluted without their consent. 3. The actual owners have the last claim to any and all funds that remain. If the firm is profitable, this could represent a substantial amount. Thus, the residual claim may represent a privilege as well as a potential drawback. Generally, other providers of capital may only receive a fixed amount. 4. Preference share is a hybrid or intermediate form of security possessing some of the characteristics of debt and ordinary shares. The fixed amount provision is similar to debt, but the noncontractual obligation is similar to ordinary shares. Though the preference shareholder does not have an ownership interest in the firm, the priority of claim is higher than that of the ordinary shareholder. 5. With the cumulative feature, if preference share dividends are not paid in any one year, they accumulate and must be paid in total before ordinary shareholders can receive dividends. Even though preference share dividends are not a contractual obligation as is true of interest on debt, the cumulative feature tends to make corporations very aware of obligations to preference shareholders. Preference shareholders may even receive new securities for forgiveness of missed dividend payments. II. Multiple Choice 1. B 11. C 20-1 21. B 31. C
