The Corporation and Financial Markets
81 81 81 81

1. 8 A corporation is a legal entity separate from its owners. This means ownership shares in the
1 8 1 8 1 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 8

corporation can be freely traded. None of the other organizational forms share this characteristic.

2. 8 Owners’ liability is limited to the amount they invested in the firm. Shareholders are not respo
1 8 1 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81

nsible for any encumbrances of the firm; in particular, they cannot be required to pay back any debts
81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81

incurred by the firm. 81 81 81

3. Corporations (all shareholders have limited liability). Limited partnerships provide limited liabilit
8 1 8 1 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81

y for the limited partners, but not for the general partners.
81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81

aration of ownership and control.

5. 8 The corporation that only holds real estate must pay corporate income taxes. The real estate inv
1 8 1 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81

estment t st (REIT) does not pay corporate taxes but must pass through substantially all of the income
81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81

to the t st unit holders to whom it is taxable.
81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81




1-6. 8 1 8 1First, the corporation pays the taxes. After taxes, $2 × (1 –
81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81


0.34) = $1.32 per share is left to pay dividends. Once the dividend is paid, personal tax on this must
81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 8

be paid, leaving $1.32 × (1 –
1 81 81 81 81 81 81

0.18) = $1.0824 per share. So after all the taxes are paid, you are left with $1.0824 per share.
81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81

can be paid out to you as a t st unit holder. You must then pay personal income tax on the distributio
1 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81

n. So you are left with
81 81 81 81 81

$2 × (1 – 0.4) = $1.20 per unit.

1-8. As the manager of an iPhone applications developer, you will make three types of financial decisions.
81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81



i. You will make investment decisions such as determining which type of iPhone application projects
81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81

will offer your company a positive NPV and should, therefore, be developed by your company.
81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81



ii. You will make the decision on how to fund your iPhone application investments and what mix of
81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81

debt and equity your company will have.
81 81 81 81 81 81 81



iii. You will be responsible for the cash management of your company, ensuring that your company ha
81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81

s the necessary funds to make investments, pay interest on loans, and pay your employees.
81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81




1-9. Shareholders can 81



i. ensure that employees are paid with company stock and/or stock options.
81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81



ii. ensure that underperforming managers are fired.
81 81 81 81 81



iii. write contracts that ensure that the interests of the managers and shareholders are closely aligned.
81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81



iv. mount hostile takeovers. 81 81

181 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81 81

Thus, the value today of the future income and cash flow streams generated by the supermarket will
