Shaan23 Why is III incorrect. If a company sells a callable common share to an investor it will raise capital.
vatsal92 Shaan23: They are asking the scenario after such shares are issued and subsequently called back.
CFAToad Also, callable shares represent risk to the shareholder, as the corporation can place a ceiling on gains. So the security will be less valuable, decreasing access to capital. But it would also serve to protect current shareholders by decreasing dilution.
