Your not getting my question.
How do these assets get added to the corp and increase shareholder equity?
Are they just "given" to the corp? Because anyother way will not increase equity, unless there is something I am missing.
If they bought the bond, they have less cash, right? If they issued shares for the bond, they have diluted the shares, right? If they borrowed to buy the bond, they have a liability to offset the asset, right? So how, exactly, do they get control of the bond in such a way that it increases equity?
