Chapter 1
The Corporation and Financial Markets
1-1. A corporation is a legal entity separate from its owners. This means ownership shares in the corporation can
be freely traded. None of the other organizational forms share this characteristic.
1-2. Owners’ liability is limited to the amount they invested in the firm. Shareholders 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. Corporations (all shareholders have limited liability). Limited partnerships provide limited liability for the
limited partners, but not for the general partners.
1-4. Advantages: Limited liability, liquidity, infinite life. Disadvantages: Double taxation, separation of
ownership and control.
1-5. The corporation that only holds real estate must pay corporate income taxes. The real estate investment trust
(REIT) does not pay corporate taxes but must pass through substantially all of the income to the trust unit
holders to whom it is taxable.
1-6. First, the corporation pays the taxes. After taxes, $2 × (1 – 0.34) = $1.32 per share is left to pay dividends.
Once the dividend is paid, personal tax on this must be paid, leaving $1.32 × (1 – 0.18) = $1.0824 per share.
So after all the taxes are paid, you are left with $1.0824 per share.
1-7. As a real estate investment trust (REIT) pays no corporate tax, the full amount of $2 per unit can be paid out
to you as a trust unit holder. You must then pay personal income tax on the distribution. So you are left with
$2 × (1 – 0.4) = $1.20 per unit.
1-8. As the manager of an iPhone applications developer, you will make three types of financial decisions.
i. You will make investment decisions such as determining which type of iPhone application projects will
offer your company a positive NPV and should, therefore, be developed by your company.
ii. You will make the decision on how to fund your iPhone application investments and what mix of debt
and equity your company will have.
iii. You will be responsible for the cash management of your company, ensuring that your company has the
necessary funds to make investments, pay interest on loans, and pay your employees.
1-9. Shareholders can
i. ensure that employees are paid with company stock and/or stock options.
ii. ensure that underperforming managers are fired.
iii. write contracts that ensure that the interests of the managers and shareholders are closely aligned.
iv. mount hostile takeovers.
1-10. This will affect and hurt the customers. It will have a negative impact on the customers, for they will likely
get sour milk. It will also have a negative impact on shareholders because, in the long run, customers will
realize that the supermarket sells sour milk and will switch to other supermarkets. Thus, the value today of
the future income and cash flow streams generated by the supermarket will drop because of the long-term
loss of customers caused by this strategy. This will negatively affect the current stock price as shareholders
anticipate these long-term drawbacks.
