dc.description.abstract | Debt has always been perceived as expensive compared to equity, many people, especially businessmen have always assumed that debt is more expensive to equity, however going through literature and theories it is clear that this has been the most mistaken identity, according to pecking order theory, firms would first of all prefer internals funds, followed by debt and lastly followed by equity, thus according to the Myer’s Pecking order theory, equity is less preferred than debt and internal funds are preferred more to debt. Thus as per the order of priority, Debt is preferred to equity, and equity according to the theory is more expensive in the long run to debt, the reasons being the tax advantage given to debt holders among others . Keywords: Pecking order theory, debt, equity. | en_US |
