Chapter Overview f




This chapter introduces the field of finance through building-block terms and concepts. The chapter starts by
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



explaining what a firm is and discussing the goals that managers of a firm might pursue. The chapter provides a
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



justification for focusing on shareholders rather than stakeholders broadly, but it also discusses other goals that firms
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



might pursue. The opening section concludes with material on the importance of ethical behavior in business.
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f




The next section discusses the managerial finance function, the key decisions that financial managers make, and the
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



principles that guide their decisions. The discussion draws out distinctions among the overlapping disciplines of
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



finance, economics, and accounting.
f f f f




The third section describes pros and cons of different legal forms for a business. This section places particular
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



emphasis on differences in taxation of proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations, and it highlights the
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



importance of the marginal tax rate rather than the average tax rate. Next, this section describes the classical
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



principal-agent problem and describes both internal and external corporate governance mechanisms that help
f f f f f f f f f f f f f



manage that problem.
f f f




This chapter and the ones to follow stress the important role finance vocabulary, concepts, and tools will play in the
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



professional and personal lives of students—even those choosing other majors, such as accounting, economics
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



information systems, management, marketing, or operations. Whenever possible, personal-finance applications are
f f f f f f f f f f f



provided to motivate and illustrate topics. This pedagogical approach should inspire students to master chapter
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



content quickly and easily.

 Suggested Answer toOpener-in-Review f f f




Students learned the stock price of Brookdale Senior Living lost 80% of its value from 2015 to 2019, prompting Land
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



and Buildings (a prominent stockholder) to urge the firm sell its real-estate holdings, distribute the anticipated net
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



sales proceeds ($21 cash) to shareholders, and then focus on managing its senior living facilities. Students were asked
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



whether the proposal would make Brookdale’s shareholders better off if the expected cash proceeds were realized,
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



but stock price dipped to $5 per share.
f f f f f f f f




Before restructuring, an investor with one Brookdale share had $21.35 in total wealth. Afterward, that same investor
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



might have a share worth $5 and $21 in cash—total wealth of $26. The hypothetical shareholder reaped a gain of $4.65
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



per share or 21.8%. Before the asset sale, with 185.45 million shares outstanding and a share price of
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



$21.35, total shareholder wealth was $3.96 billion. After the sale, with same shares outstanding and wealth per share
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



now $26, shareholder wealth rose to $4.82 billion—a net gain of $0.86 billion.
