Why do most companies use a mixture of debt and equity financing?

Why do most companies use a mixture of debt and equity financing?
The advantage of borrowing money by issuing bonds is that interest payments, unlike dividends, are tax-deductible.
But interest has to be paid even in a year in which a company makes no profit, so it is safer to have equity capital as well, on which no dividends need be paid if there are no profits.

    Issuance of bonds is a certificate of debt that is issued by a government or corporation in order to raise money; the issuer is required to pay a fixed sum annually until maturity and then a fixed sum to repay the principal. Bonds may be issued at face value, below face value (at a discount), or above face value (at a premium). When recording the Issuance of Bonds on the necessary journal entries these three different types of bond change the way the bond is recorded. Periodic interest is usually based on a period of time, i.e. daily, monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually. Periodic interest is recorded based on the time period of the bond.

Due to the fact that bonds sold at a discount or a premium cost the company money, these costs must be paid back over the period of the bond to ensure a balance. There are two methods of amortizing bond premiums and discounts: 1) effective-interest method and 2) straight line…
