Chapter 1
The Corporation and Financial Markets

1-1. A corporation is a legal entity separate from its owners. This means ownership shares in the corporation
can be freely traded. None of the other organizational forms share this characteristic.

1-2. Owners’ liability is limited to the amount they invested in the firm. Shareholders are not responsible for
any encumbrances of the firm; in particular, they cannot be required to pay back any debts incurred by the
firm.




S
1-3. Corporations (all shareholders have limited liability). Limited partnerships provide limited liability for the




R
limited partners, but not for the general partners.




VE
1-4. Advantages: Limited liability, liquidity, infinite life. Disadvantages: Double taxation, separation of ownership
and control.

1-5. The corporation that only holds real estate must pay corporate income taxes. The real estate investment
trust (REIT) does not pay corporate taxes but must pass through substantially all of the income to the trust


1-6.
unit holders to whom it is taxable.

All calculations are on a ‘per-share basis’.
IE
H
At the business level, corporate tax will be paid. Corporate Tax = $2  .34 = $0.68. After corporate tax,
there is $2 − $0.68 = $1.32 to be paid out as a dividend.
AC

At the personal level, $1.32 is received as a dividend. Personal tax on the dividend is $1.32  .18 = $0.24.
This leaves $1.08 after all taxes.
M



If the shares were held in a TFSA, there would be no personal taxes and thus the amount left after all taxes
would be $1.32.
EA




1-7. All calculations are on a ‘per-unit basis’.

At the business level, no corporate tax will be paid as this is a REIT. Thus, there is the full $2 to be paid out
as a distribution.
R




At the personal level, $2 is received as a distribution from the REIT. Personal tax on the distribution is
$2  .40 = $0.80. This leaves $1.20 after all taxes.
D




If the units were held in a TFSA, there would be no personal taxes and thus the amount left after all taxes
would be $2.00. So no taxes would be paid at either the business or personal level and you would get to
keep the full amount!

1-8. As the manager of an iPhone applications developer, you will make three types of financial decisions.
i. You will make investment decisions such as determining which type of iPhone application projects
will offer your company a positive NPV and should, therefore, be developed by your company.
ii. You will make the decision on how to fund your iPhone application investments and what mix of debt
and equity your company will have.
