Answer #1

Companies go for both the categories because

they want to attract different kind of investors. eg. On one hand, preference shares are mainly purchased by institutional players such as insurance companies, pension funds, government authorities (basically all those companies who want a higher assured return with a slightly higher risk than bondholders) and the other, equity shares are purchased by those investors who feel that capital appreciation is better than fixed returns and are willing to take a higher risk than preference shareholder as well as bondholders. Hence, they go for both.
