MBA 5015 - Managerial Finance-Lesson 1 Homework

Chapter 1 Q3: What is meant by the goal of maximization of shareholder wealth? Why is
profit maximization, by itself, an inappropriate goal? (LO3)

The objective of shareholder wealth maximization is to increase stock price. Profit


maximization is of a short-term nature and focuses more on what earnings are generated than
value maximization, which is consistent with the maximization of shareholder wealth.

Chapter 1 Q10: Contrast the liability provisions for a sole proprietorship, a partnership, a
limited partnership, and a corporation. (LO5)

The sole owner of a sole proprietorship has unlimited liability for the business.
A partnership consists of two or more individuals who pool their resources for a business and
divide profits and losses. Depending on the provisions, owners' liability is divided. Individuals
are not directly liable when a corporation has limited liability.

Chapter 2 Q3Explain how amortization generates actual cash flows for the company. (LO4)

The expense of amortization is a noncash expense. When preparing the indirect cash flow
statement, noncash expenses are added to net income.

Chapter 2 Q10Why is interest expense said to cost the firm substantially less than the actual
expense, whereas dividends cost it 100 percent of the outlay? (LO6)

The corporation is able to deduct interest expense, but not dividends. The actual cost of interest
is less than the outlay, whereas the actual cost of the dividend is identical to the expenditure.
