Chapter Overview s



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


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


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


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


business.
s




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


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


finance, economics, and accounting.
s s s s




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


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


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


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


manage that problem.
s s s




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


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


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


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


content quickly and easily.
s s s s




 Suggested Answer to Opener-in-Review s s s




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


Land and Buildings (a prominent stockholder) to urge the firm sell its real-estate holdings, distribute the
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s


anticipated net sales proceeds ($21 cash) to shareholders, and then focus on managing its senior living facilities.
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s


Students were asked whether the proposal would make Brookdale’s shareholders better off if the expected cash
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s


proceeds were realized, but stock price dipped to $5 per share.
s s s s s s s s s s s




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


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


gain of $4.65 per share or 21.8%. Before the asset sale, with 185.45 million shares outstanding and a share price of
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s


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


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