◼ Instructor’s Resources
Chapter Overview
This Chapter Introduces The Field Of Finance Through Building-Block Terms And Concepts. The Chapter Starts
By Explaining What A Firm Is And Discussing The Goals That Managers Of A Firm Might Pursue. The Chapter
Provides A Justification For Focusing On Shareholders Rather Than Stakeholders Broadly, But It Also Discusses
Other Goals That Firms Might Pursue. The Opening Section Concludes With Material On The Importance Of
Ethical Behavior In Business.
The Next Section Discusses The Managerial Finance Function, The Key Decisions That Financial Managers Make,
And The Principles That Guide Their Decisions. The Discussion Draws Out Distinctions Among The Overlapping
Disciplines Of Finance, Economics, And Accounting.
The Third Section Describes Pros And Cons Of Different Legal Forms For A Business. This Section Places
Particular Emphasis On Differences In Taxation Of Proprietorships, Partnerships, And Corporations, And It
Highlights The Importance Of The Marginal Tax Rate Rather Than The Average Tax Rate. Next, This
Section Describes The Classical Principal-Agent Problem And Describes Both Internal And External
Corporate Governance Mechanisms That Help Manage That Problem.
This Chapter And The Ones To Follow Stress The Important Role Finance Vocabulary, Concepts, And Tools Will
Play In The Professional And Personal Lives Of Students—Even Those Choosing Other Majors, Such As
Accounting, Economics Information Systems, Management, Marketing, Or Operations. Whenever Possible,
Personal-Finance Applications Are Provided To Motivate And Illustrate Topics. This Pedagogical Approach
Should Inspire Students To Master Chapter Content Quickly And Easily.
◼ Suggested Answer To Opener-In-Review
Students Learned The Stock Price Of Brookdale Senior Living Lost 80% Of Its Value From 2015 To 2019,
Prompting Land And Buildings (A Prominent Stockholder) To Urge The Firm Sell Its Real-Estate Holdings,
Distribute The Anticipated Net Sales Proceeds ($21 Cash) To Shareholders, And Then Focus On Managing Its
Senior Living Facilities. Students Were Asked Whether The Proposal Would Make Brookdale’s Shareholders
Better Off If The Expected Cash Proceeds Were Realized, But Stock Price Dipped To $5 Per Share.
Before Restructuring, An Investor With One Brookdale Share Had $21.35 In Total Wealth. Afterward, That Same
Investor Might Have A Share Worth $5 And $21 In Cash—Total Wealth Of $26. The Hypothetical Shareholder
Reaped A Gain Of $4.65 Per Share Or 21.8%. Before The Asset Sale, With 185.45 Million Shares Outstanding
And A Share Price Of
$21.35, Total Shareholder Wealth Was $3.96 Billion. After The Sale, With Same Shares Outstanding And Wealth
Per Share Now $26, Shareholder Wealth Rose To $4.82 Billion—A Net Gain Of $0.86 Billion.
