...Solutions to Chapter 1 The Firm and the Financial Manager 1. real executive airplanes brand names financial stock investment capital budgeting financing 2. A firm might cut its labor force dramatically which could reduce immediate expenses and increase profits in the short term. Over the long term, however, the firm might not be able to serve its customers properly or it might alienate its remaining workers; if so, future profits will decrease, and the stock price will decrease in anticipation of these problems. Similarly, a firm can boost profits over the short term by using less costly materials even if this reduces the quality of the product. Once customers catch on, sales will decrease and profits will fall in the future. The stock price will fall. The moral of these examples is that, because stock prices reflect present and future profitability, the firm should not necessarily sacrifice future prospects for short-term gains. 3. The key advantage of separating ownership and management in a large corporation is that it gives the corporation permanence. The corporation continues to exist if managers are replaced or if stockholders sell their ownership interests to other investors. The corporation’s permanence is an essential characteristic in allowing corporations to obtain the large amounts of financing required by many business entities. 4. A sole proprietorship is easy to set up with a minimum of legal work. The business...

...CHAPTER 2 Present Values, The Objectives of the Firm, and Corporate Governance Answers to Practice Questions 1. The face value of the treasury security is $1,000. If this security earns 5%, then in one year we will receive $1,050. Thus: NPV = C0 + [C1/(1 + r)] = −$1000 + ($1050/1.05) = 0 This is not a surprising result because 5 percent is the opportunity cost of capital, i.e., 5 percent is the return available in the capital market. If any investment earns a rate of return equal to the opportunity cost of capital, the NPV of that investment is zero. NPV = −$1,300,000 + ($1,500,000/1.10) = +$63,636 Since the NPV is positive, you would construct the motel. Alternatively, we can compute r as follows: r = ($1,500,000/$1,300,000) – 1 = 0.1539 = 15.39% Since the rate of return is greater than the cost of capital, you would construct the motel. 3.

...forms? A corporation is a legal entity separate from its owners. 1-2. What does the phrase limited liability mean in a corporate context? Owners’ liability is limited to the amount they invested in the firm. Stockholders are not responsible for any encumbrances of the firm; in particular, they cannot be required to pay back any debts incurred by the firm. 1-3. Which organizational forms give their owners limited liability? Corporations and limited liability companies give owners limited liability. Limited partnerships provide limited liability for the limited partners, but not for the general partners. 1-4. What are the main advantages and disadvantages of organizing a firm as a corporation? Advantages: Limited liability, liquidity, infinite life Disadvantages: Double taxation, separation of ownership and control 1-5. Explain the difference between an S corporation and a C corporation. C corporations must pay corporate income taxes; S corporations do not pay corporate taxes, but must pass through the income to shareholders to whom it is taxable. S corporations are also limited to 75 shareholders and cannot have corporate or foreign stockholders. 1-6. You are a shareholder in a C corporation. The corporation earns $2 per share before taxes. Once it has paid taxes it will distribute the rest of its earnings to you as a dividend. The corporate tax rate is 40% and the personal tax rate on (both dividend and non-dividend) income is 30%.

...Solutions Manual Fundamentals of Corporate Finance (Asia Global Edition) Ross, Westerfield, Jordan, Lim and Tan Updated April 2012 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO CORPORATE FINANCE Answers to Concepts Review and Critical Thinking Questions 1. Capital budgeting (deciding whether to expand a manufacturing plant), capital structure (deciding whether to issue new equity and use the proceeds to retire outstanding debt), and working capital management (modifying the firm’s credit collection policy with its customers). Disadvantages: unlimited liability, limited life, difficulty in transferring ownership, hard to raise capital funds. Some advantages: simpler, less regulation, the owners are also the managers, sometimes personal tax rates are better than corporate tax rates. The primary disadvantage of the corporate form is the double taxation to shareholders of distributed earnings and dividends. Some advantages include: limited liability, ease of transferability, ability to raise capital, and unlimited life. The treasurer’s office and the controller’s office are the two primary organizational groups that report directly to the chief financial officer. The controller’s office handles cost and financial accounting, tax management, and management information systems, while the treasurer’s office is responsible for cash and credit management, capital budgeting, and financial planning. Therefore, the study of corporate finance is concentrated within the treasury group’s functions. To maximize...

...FIN200 Corporate Finance (2nd Term 2012-2013) Solution for Corporate Finance, Ross, Westerfield, and Jaffe, 9th edition CHAPTER 20 ISSUING SECURITIES TO THE PUBLIC Answers to Concepts Review and Critical Thinking Questions 1. A company’s internally generated cash flow provides a source of equity financing. For a profitable company, outside equity may never be needed. Debt issues are larger because large companies have the greatest access to public debt markets (small companies tend to borrow more from private lenders). Equity issuers are frequently small companies going public; such issues are often quite small. Additionally, to maintain a debt-equity ratio, a company must issue new bonds when the current bonds mature. From the previous question, economies of scale are part of the answer. Beyond this, debt issues are simply easier and less risky to sell from an investment bank’s perspective. The two main reasons are that very large amounts of debt securities can be sold to a relatively small number of buyers, particularly large institutional buyers such as pension funds and insurance companies, and debt securities are much easier to price. They are riskier and harder to market from an investment bank’s perspective. Yields on comparable bonds can usually be readily observed, so pricing a bond issue accurately is much less difficult. It is clear that the stock was sold too cheaply, so Eyetech had reason to be unhappy. No, but, in fairness, pricing the stock in such a situation...

...Cognizant 20-20 Insights How Cloud Computing Impacts Trade Finance Executive Summary As worldwide trade gradually recovers, the financial climate enablers remain challenging. Affordability, accessibility and adherence to newer, stricter Basel regulations stand as unabated hurdles in the path to rapid recovery of trade finance.1 According to a survey conducted by International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in 2010, a total of about 42.9 million transactions were registered, representing a 5.81% increase over 2009 — a slight gain after the previous year’s fall. Technological innovations are bound to play a crucial role in accelerating the recovery process through the streamlining of front-end to back-end processes, enabling trade finance institutions to offer customized, low cost, value-added solutions that meet the requirements of geographically diverse customer segments. This paper discusses a key technological advancement, cloud computing, which is already making inroads at leading trade finance software players. This development enables a bank to build a strong trade finance architecture for maximizing profitability, a goal which starts with making such services more affordable and accessible to customers. Within trade finance and other corporate transaction banking services, financial institutions are moving ahead to reap the benefits from lower-cost private cloud services. These cloud services offer dedicated solutions with rigorous security controls, freeing both banks and customers...
