Chapter Overview p
This chapter introduces the field of finance through building-block terms and concepts. The chapter starts by
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
explaining what a firm is and discussing the goals that managers of a firm might pursue. The chapter provides a
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
justification for focusing on shareholders rather than stakeholders broadly, but it also discusses other goals that
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
firms might pursue. The opening section concludes with material on the importance of ethical behavior in
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
business.
p
The next section discusses the managerial finance function, the key decisions that financial managers make, and the
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
principles that guide their decisions. The discussion draws out distinctions among the overlapping disciplines of
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
finance, economics, and accounting.
p p p p
The third section describes pros and cons of different legal forms for a business. This section places particular
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
emphasis on differences in taxation of proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations, and it highlights the
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
importance of the marginal tax rate rather than the average tax rate. Next, this section describes the
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
classical principal-agent problem and describes both internal and external corporate governance
p p p p p p p p p p p
mechanisms that help manage that problem.
p p p p p p
This chapter and the ones to follow stress the important role finance vocabulary, concepts, and tools will play in
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
the professional and personal lives of students—even those choosing other majors, such as accounting,
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
economics information systems, management, marketing, or operations. Whenever possible, personal-finance
p p p p p p p p p p
applications are provided to motivate and illustrate topics. This pedagogical approach should inspire students to
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
master chapter content quickly and easily.

Suggested Answer to Opener-in-Review p p p
Students learned the stock price of Brookdale Senior Living lost 80% of its value from 2015 to 2019, prompting
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
Land and Buildings (a prominent stockholder) to urge the firm sell its real-estate holdings, distribute the
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
anticipated net sales proceeds ($21 cash) to shareholders, and then focus on managing its senior living facilities.
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
Students were asked whether the proposal would make Brookdale’s shareholders better off if the expected cash
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
proceeds were realized, but stock price dipped to $5 per share.
p p p p p p p p p p p
Before restructuring, an investor with one Brookdale share had $21.35 in total wealth. Afterward, that same
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
investor might have a share worth $5 and $21 in cash—total wealth of $26. The hypothetical shareholder reaped
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
a gain of $4.65 per share or 21.8%. Before the asset sale, with 185.45 million shares outstanding and a share price
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
of
p
$21.35, total shareholder wealth was $3.96 billion. After the sale, with same shares outstanding and wealth per
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
share now $26, shareholder wealth rose to $4.82 billion—a net gain of $0.86 billion.
