Based on your readings, please respond to the following questions below:•From the investor's point of view, analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the three investment alternatives-common stock, bonds, and preferred stock.

Why do some firms use preferred stock and others do not? Is it a matter of subjective preference, or are there sound theoretical reasons for the use of specific sources of funding?
•How does an investor's evaluation of the investment alternatives differ from the evaluation by a company trying to raise funds?
•Among all the capital budgeting methodologies and their respective rules, which would you use and why? What are the advantages of one rule over another?
