Why?
• With a $145 billion cash hoard, Apple could acquire Facebook, Hewlett-Packard and Yahoo — and still have more than $10 billion left over.
• In a record bond deal, the company raised $17 billion on Tuesday.
• Why would a company with so much cash even bother to issue debt?

Some of the reasons
• to exploit historically low interest rates and strong investor demand for bonds
• to help finance a $100 billion payout to its shareholders
• to avoid a potentially big tax hit
