Topic 1: Long-Term Liabilities DQ 1

 Find a publicly-traded company that has bonds on its balance sheet. Provide a link to the balance sheet in your post, and explain the details of the bond transactions based upon the amounts and disclosures found in the financial statements. Why do you think the company issues bonds rather than stock to fund its business? Do not choose a company that has already been reported on by one of your classmates. Participate in follow-up discussion by critiquing the posts provided by your classmates and defending their challenges to your post. Your initial post should be 250-500 words, and should demonstrate solid academic writing skills. Please include proper citations in your discussion post. Points will be deducted if proper citations are not used.
