To explain:Â The similarity between the problems of bond refunding and capital budgeting.Â
Introduction:
Bond:
It is a long-term loan borrowed by the corporations, organizations, and the government for the
purpose of raising capital. It is issued at a fixed interest depending upon the reputation of the
corporations and also termed as fixed-income security.
Bond refunding:
It means paying off higher-cost debt bonds to the issuer of the bonds that have a lower net cost. This decreases the financial cost of any firm.
Capital budgeting:
It is the formal process used by a corporation to determine any potential expense or any significant investment. It is used by businesses for the determination of whether a proposed investment or fixed asset should be purchased or not.
