Paraga company decided to raise 40% of funds through debentures. Which financial decision is it?
Show Hint
To distinguish between financial decisions, ask: Where to get money? (Financing), Where to put money? (Investment), and What to do with profit? (Dividend). Since debentures are a source of capital, it is always a Financing Decision.
Concept:
Financial Management involves three main decisions:
• Investment Decision: Where to invest funds.
• Financing Decision: How to raise funds (Debt vs. Equity).
• Dividend Decision: How much profit to distribute.
Categorizing the source of capital.
Deciding the quantum of debentures (debt) versus equity relates to the capital structure, which is a core part of the Financing Decision.
