Questions and Problems:
tu
1.1 In the absence of agency problems, managers act in the best interest of shareholders and make
decisions to maximize shareholders’ wealth. They create value from the capital budgeting,
financing, and liquidity activities. For example, managers create value by buying assets that
generate more cash than they cost.
d
1.2 In the corporate form of ownership, the shareholders are the owners of the firm. The
shareholders elect the directors of the corporation, who in turn appoint the firm’s management.
yg
This separation of ownership from control in the corporate form of organization is what causes
agency problems to exist. Management may act in its own or someone else’s best interests, rather
than those of the shareholders. If such events occur, they may contradict the goal of maximizing
shareholders’ wealth.
en
1.3 We would expect agency problems to be less severe in countries with a small percentage of individual
ownership. Fewer individual owners should reduce the number of diverse opinions concerning
corporate goals. The high percentage of institutional ownership might lead to a higher degree of
agreement between owners and managers on decisions concerning risky projects. In addition,
institutions may be better able to implement effective monitoring mechanisms on managers than can
iu
individual owners, based on the institutions’ deeper resources and experiences with their own
management. The increase in institutional ownership of stock in the United States and the growing
activism of these large shareholder groups may lead to a reduction in agency problems for U.S.
corporations and a more efficient market for corporate control.

1.4 Canadian financial institutions include chartered banks and other depository institutions––trust
companies and credit unions as well as nondepository institutions––investment dealers, insurance
companies, pension funds and mutual funds.

Financial markets can be classified as either money markets or capital markets. Short–term debt
securities are bought and sold in money markets. Capital markets are the markets for long–term
debt and shares of stock, for example the TSX.
1.5 Canadian Financial Markets, like all markets, are experiencing rapid globalization. The toolkit of
??
available financial management techniques has expanded in response to a need to control volatility
risk and to track complex dealing in many countries. Computer technology improvements make
new financial engineering applications practical and create opportunities to combine different types
of financial institutions. Financial institutions pressure authorities to deregulate in a process called
??
the regulatory dialectic. Increased uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic and other disruptive
events led Canadian companies to delay their investments and to hold more cash for precautionary
motives. Unfortunately, several companies, particularly retailers, sought court protection from their
creditors.
??
These trends have made financial management in Canada much more complex and technical. In the
face of increased global competition and disruptive shocks, the payoff for good financial
management is great with finance becoming important in corporate strategic planning.
