B. working capital management. D. market risk management. - ✔✔B
Working capital management. An organization's finance function is responsible for managing the
business's working capital and making capital investment decisions for the company. Working capital is
the difference between a business's current assets and current liabilities. Working capital management
focuses on the company's current balance of assets and liabilities and involves the management of
accounts payable and receivable, inventory, and cash. Working capital management involves decisions
made for the short-term—one year or less. Capital investment decisions determine which projects the
business will invest in, how the investment(s) will be financed, and whether or not to pay dividends to
the
company's shareholders. The business's capital structure consists of the mix of debt and equity financing
used to finance investments and projects. Market risk is the risk of financial loss due to the decreased
value of an investment, and market risk management involves using financial instruments to manage
exposure to market risk. Capital investment decisions, the business's capital structure, and market risk
management are typically long-term in nature. Talia is not responsible for capital investment decisions,
the business's capital structure, or market risk management.

sources, and more, to improve the marketing planning process.
