Financial Goals of the
Corporation
The primary financial goal is
shareholder wealth maximization,
which translates to maximizing
stock price.
Do firms have any responsibilities to
society at large?
Is stock price maximization good or
bad for society?
Should firms behave ethically?
1-10
Is stock price maximization
the same as profit
maximization?
No, despite a generally high
correlation amongst stock price, EPS,
and cash flow.
Current stock price relies upon
current earnings, as well as future
earnings and cash flow.
Some actions may cause an increase
in earnings, yet cause the stock price
to decrease (and vice versa).
1-11
Agency relationships
An agency relationship exists
whenever a principal hires an
agent to act on their behalf.
Within a corporation, agency
relationships exist between:
Shareholders and managers
Shareholders and creditors
1-12
Shareholders versus
Managers
Managers are naturally inclined to
act in their own best interests.
But the following factors affect
managerial behavior:
Managerial compensation plans
Direct intervention by shareholders
The threat of firing
The threat of takeover
1-13
Shareholders versus
Creditors
Shareholders (through managers)
could take actions to maximize
stock price that are detrimental to
creditors.
In the long run, such actions will
raise the cost of debt and
ultimately lower stock price.
1-14
Factors that affect stock
price
Projected cash
flows to
shareholders
Timing of the
cash flow stream
Riskiness of the
cash flows

Why are ratios useful?
Ratios standardize numbers and
facilitate comparisons.
Ratios are used to highlight
weaknesses and strengths.
1-23
What are the five major categories
of ratios, and what questions do they
answer?
Liquidity: Can we make required
payments?
Asset management: right amount of
assets vs. sales?
Debt management: Right mix of debt and
equity?
Profitability: Do sales prices exceed unit
costs, and are sales high enough as
reflected in PM, ROE, and ROA?
Market value: Do investors like what they
see as reflected in P/E and M/B ratios?

Both ratios rebounded from the previous
year, but are still below the industry
average. More improvement is needed.
Wide variations in ROE illustrate the effect
that leverage can have on profitability.
1-39
Effects of debt on ROA and
ROE
ROA is lowered by debt--interest
lowers NI, which also lowers ROA
= NI/Assets.
But use of debt also lowers
equity, hence debt could raise
ROE = NI/Equity.
1-40
Problems with ROE
ROE and shareholder wealth are
correlated, but problems can arise when
ROE is the sole measure of performance.
ROE does not consider risk.
ROE does not consider the amount of capital
invested.
Might encourage managers to make

Calculate the Price/Earnings,
Price/Cash flow, and Market/Book

Analyzing the market value
ratios

pay for $1 of earnings.
P/CF: How much investors are willing to
pay for $1 of cash flow.
M/B: How much investors are willing to
pay for $1 of book value equity.
For each ratio, the higher the number,
the better.
P/E and M/B are high if ROE is high and
risk is low.

Potential problems and
limitations of financial ratio
analysis
Comparison with industry averages is
difficult for a conglomerate firm that
operates in many different divisions.
“Average” performance is not
necessarily good, perhaps the firm
should aim higher.
Seasonal factors can distort ratios.
“Window dressing” techniques can
make statements and ratios look
better.
1-52
More issues regarding
ratios
Different operating and accounting
practices can distort comparisons.
Sometimes it is hard to tell if a
ratio is “good” or “bad”.
Difficult to tell whether a company
is, on balance, in strong or weak
position.
1-53
Qualitative factors to be
considered when evaluating a
company’s future financial
performance
Are the firm’s revenues tied to 1 key
customer, product, or supplier?
What percentage of the firm’s
business is generated overseas?
Competition
Future prospects
Legal and regulatory environment

CHAPTER 7
Bonds and Their Valuation
1-56
Bond markets
Primarily traded in the over-the-counter
(OTC) market.
Most bonds are owned by and traded
among large financial institutions.
Full information on bond trades in the
OTC market is not published, but a
representative group of bonds is listed
and traded on the bond division of the
NYSE.
1-57
Key Features of a Bond
Par value – face amount of the bond, which
is paid at maturity (assume $1,000).
Coupon interest rate – stated interest rate
(generally fixed) paid by the issuer. Multiply
by par to get dollar payment of interest.
Maturity date – years until the bond must be
repaid.
Issue date – when the bond was issued.
Yield to maturity - rate of return earned on
a bond held until maturity (also called the
“promised yield”).
1-58
Effect of a call provision
Allows issuer to refund the bond
issue if rates decline (helps the
issuer, but hurts the investor).
Borrowers are willing to pay
more, and lenders require more,
for callable bonds.
Most bonds have a deferred call
and a declining call premium.
1-59
What is a sinking fund?
Provision to pay off a loan over
its life rather than all at maturity.
Similar to amortization on a term
loan.
Reduces risk to investor,
shortens average maturity.
But not good for investors if
rates decline after issuance.
1-60
How are sinking funds
executed?
Call x% of the issue at par, for sinking
fund purposes.
Likely to be used if kd is below the
coupon rate and the bond sells at a
premium.
Buy bonds in the open market.
Likely to be used if kd is above the
coupon rate and the bond sells at a
discount.

Other types (features) of
bonds
Convertible bond – may be exchanged for
common stock of the firm, at the holder’s
option.
Warrant – long-term option to buy a stated
number of shares of common stock at a
specified price.
Putable bond – allows holder to sell the bond
back to the company prior to maturity.
Income bond – pays interest only when
interest is earned by the firm.
Indexed bond – interest rate paid is based
upon the rate of inflation.
1-63
What is the opportunity cost of
debt capital?
The discount rate (ki ) is the
opportunity cost of capital, and is
the rate that could be earned on
alternative investments of equal
risk.

Default risk
If an issuer defaults, investors
receive less than the promised
return. Therefore, the expected
return on corporate and
municipal bonds is less than the
promised return.

Bankruptcy
Two main chapters of the Federal
Bankruptcy Act:
Chapter 11, Reorganization
Chapter 7, Liquidation
Typically, a company wants Chapter
11, while creditors may prefer
Chapter 7.
1-94
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
If company can’t meet its obligations …
It files under Chapter 11 to stop creditors from
foreclosing, taking assets, and closing the
business.
Has 120 days to file a reorganization plan.
Court appoints a “trustee” to supervise
reorganization.
Management usually stays in control.
Company must demonstrate in its
reorganization plan that it is “worth
more alive than dead”.
If not, judge will order liquidation under Chapter 7.
1-95
Priority of claims in
liquidation
1. Secured creditors from sales of
secured assets.
2. Trustee’s costs
3. Wages, subject to limits
4. Taxes
5. Unfunded pension liabilities
6. Unsecured creditors
7. Preferred stock
8. Common stock
1-96
Reorganization
In a liquidation, unsecured creditors
generally get zero. This makes them
more willing to participate in
reorganization even though their claims
are greatly scaled back.
Various groups of creditors vote on the
reorganization plan. If both the majority
of the creditors and the judge approve,
company “emerges” from bankruptcy
with lower debts, reduced interest
charges, and a chance for success.

What can you conclude about
D’Leon’s financial condition
from its statement of CFs?
Net cash from operations = -
$164,176, mainly because of
negative NI.
The firm borrowed $825,808 to
meet its cash requirements.

EVA Concepts
In order to generate positive EVA,
a firm has to more than just cover
operating costs. It must also
provide a return to those who have
provided the firm with capital.
EVA takes into account the total
cost of capital, which includes the
cost of equity.
1-115
What is the firm’s EVA? Assume the
firm’s after-tax percentage cost of
capital was 10% in 2000 and 13% in
2001.
EVA02 = NOPAT – (A-T cost of capital) (Capital)
= -$78,569 – (0.13)($1,852,832)

Does it appear that D’Leon’s
sales price exceeds its cost per

NO, the negative NOPAT and

that D’Leon is spending more on
its operations than it is taking in.

Would D’Leon have required
external capital if they had broken
even in 2001 (Net Income = 0)?
YES, the company would still have
to finance its increase in assets.
Looking to the Statement of Cash
Flows, we see that the firm made
an investment of $711,950 in net
fixed assets. Therefore, they
would have needed to raise
additional funds.
1-122
What happens if D’Leon
depreciates fixed assets over 7
years (as opposed to the current 10
years)?
No effect on physical
assets.
Fixed assets on the
balance sheet would
decline.
Net income would
decline.
Tax payments would
decline.

Tax treatment of various
uses and sources of funds
Interest paid – tax deductible for corporations
(paid out of pre-tax income), but usually not for
individuals (interest on home loans being the
exception).
Interest earned – usually fully taxable (an
exception being interest from a (muni”).
Dividends paid – paid out of after-tax income.
Dividends received – taxed as ordinary income
for individuals (“double taxation”). A portion of
dividends received by corporations is tax
excludable, in order to avoid “triple taxation”.
1-126
More tax issues
Tax Loss Carry-Back and Carry-Forward – since
corporate incomes can fluctuate widely, the
tax code allows firms to carry losses back to
offset profits in previous years or forward to
offset profits in the future.
Capital gains – defined as the profits from the
sale of assets not normally transacted in the
normal course of business, capital gains for
individuals are generally taxed as ordinary
income if held for less than a year, and at the
capital gains rate if held for more than a year.
Corporations face somewhat different rules.

Classifications of interest
rates
Nominal rate (iNOM) – also called the quoted or
state rate. An annual rate that ignores
compounding effects.
iNOM is stated in contracts. Periods must also
be given, e.g. 8% Quarterly or 8% Daily
interest.
Periodic rate (iPER) – amount of interest
charged each period, e.g. monthly or
quarterly.
iPER = iNOM / m, where m is the number of
compounding periods per year. m = 4 for
quarterly and m = 12 for monthly 1-152
Classifications of interest
rates
Effective (or equivalent) annual rate (EAR
= EFF%) – the annual rate of interest
actually being earned, taking into account
compounding.
EFF% for 10% semiannual investment
EFF% = ( 1 + iNOM / m )m - 1
= ( 1 + 0.10 / 2 )2 – 1 =
10.25%
An investor would be indifferent
between an investment offering a
10.25% annual return and one offering
a 10% annual return, compounded
semiannually. 1-153
Why is it important to consider
effective rates of return?
An investment with monthly payments is
different from one with quarterly payments.
Must put each return on an EFF% basis to
compare rates of return. Must use EFF% for
comparisons. See following values of EFF%
rates at various compounding levels.
EARANNUAL 10.00%
EARQUARTERLY 10.38%
EARMONTHLY 10.47%
EARDAILY (365) 10.52%
1-154
Can the effective rate ever
be equal to the nominal rate?
Yes, but only if annual
compounding is used, i.e., if m =
1.
If m > 1, EFF% will always be
greater than the nominal rate.
1-155
When is each rate used?
iNOM written into contracts, quoted by
banks and brokers. Not used in
calculations or shown on time lines.
iPER Used in calculations and shown
on time lines. If m = 1, iNOM = iPER =
EAR.
EAR Used to compare returns on
investments with different payments
per year. Used in calculations when

Investor attitude towards
risk
Risk aversion – assumes investors
dislike risk and require higher
rates of return to encourage them
to hold riskier securities.
Risk premium – the difference
between the return on a risky
asset and less risky asset, which
serves as compensation for
investors to hold riskier securities.

Portfolio construction:
Risk and return
Assume a two-stock portfolio is created with
$50,000 invested in both HT and Collections.
Expected return of a portfolio is a

Creating a portfolio:
Beginning with one stock and adding
randomly selected stocks to portfolio
σp decreases as stocks added, because
they would not be perfectly correlated
with the existing portfolio.
Expected return of the portfolio would
remain relatively constant.
Eventually the diversification benefits of
adding more stocks dissipates (after
about 10 stocks), and for large stock
portfolios, σp tends to converge to 20%.

Comments on beta
If beta = 1.0, the security is just as risky
as the average stock.
If beta > 1.0, the security is riskier than
average.
If beta < 1.0, the security is less risky
than average.
Most stocks have betas in the range of
0.5 to 1.5.
1-207
Can the beta of a security be
negative?
Yes, if the correlation between Stock
i and the market is negative (i.e., ρi,m
< 0).
If the correlation is negative, the
regression line would slope
downward, and the beta would be
negative.
However, a negative beta is highly
unlikely.

Verifying the CAPM
empirically
The CAPM has not been verified
completely.
Statistical tests have problems that
make verification almost impossible.
Some argue that there are
additional risk factors, other than
the market risk premium, that must
be considered.
1-220
More thoughts on the
CAPM
Investors seem to be concerned with both
market risk and total risk. Therefore, the
SML may not produce a correct estimate of
ki.
ki = kRF + (kM – kRF) βi + ???
CAPM/SML concepts are based upon
expectations, but betas are calculated
using historical data. A company’s
historical data may not reflect investors’
expectations about future riskiness.

Stocks and Their Valuation
1-223
Social/Ethical Question
Should management be equally
concerned about employees,
customers, suppliers, and “the
public,” or just the stockholders?
In an enterprise economy,
management should work for
stockholders subject to constraints
(environmental, fair hiring, etc.) and
competition.

What happens if g > ks?
If g > ks, the constant growth
formula leads to a negative stock
price, which does not make sense.
The constant growth model can
only be used if:
ks > g
g is expected to be constant forever

What is the expected dividend
yield, capital gains yield, and total
return during the first year?
Dividend yield
= D1 / P0 = $2.12 / $30.29 = 7.0%
Capital gains yield
= (P1 – P0) / P0
= ($32.10 - $30.29) / $30.29 = 6.0%
Total return (ks)
= Dividend Yield + Capital Gains Yield
= 7.0% + 6.0% = 13.0%

If the firm has $40 million in debt
and has 10 million shares of stock,
what is the firm’s intrinsic value per
share?
MV of equity = MV of firm – MV of debt
= $416.94m - $40m
= $376.94 million
Value per share = MV of equity / # of
shares
= $376.94m / 10m
= $37.69

Firm multiples method
Analysts often use the following
multiples to value stocks.
P/E
P / CF
P / Sales
EXAMPLE: Based on comparable firms,
estimate the appropriate P/E. Multiply
this by expected earnings to back out
an estimate of the stock price.

What is market
equilibrium?
In equilibrium, stock prices are stable
and there is no general tendency for
people to buy versus to sell.
In equilibrium, expected returns must
equal required returns.

Market equilibrium
Expected returns are obtained by
estimating dividends and expected
capital gains.
Required returns are obtained by
estimating risk and applying the
CAPM.
1-251
How is market equilibrium
established?
If expected return exceeds
required return …
The current price (P0) is “too low”
and offers a bargain.
Buy orders will be greater than sell
orders.
P0 will be bid up until expected
return equals required return

Factors that affect stock
price
Required return (ks) could change
Changing inflation could cause kRF to
change
Market risk premium or exposure to
market risk (β) could change
Growth rate (g) could change

What is the Efficient Market
Hypothesis (EMH)?
Securities are normally in
equilibrium and are “fairly priced.”
Investors cannot “beat the
market” except through good luck
or better information.
Levels of market efficiency
Weak-form efficiency
Semi-strong-form efficiency
Strong-form efficiency
1-254
Weak-form efficiency
Can’t profit by looking at past
trends. A recent decline is no
reason to think stocks will go up
(or down) in the future.
Evidence supports weak-form
EMH, but “technical analysis” is
still used.
1-255
Semistrong-form efficiency
All publicly available information
is reflected in stock prices, so it
doesn’t pay to over analyze
annual reports looking for
undervalued stocks.
Largely true, but superior
analysts can still profit by finding
and using new information
1-256
Strong-form efficiency
All information, even inside
information, is embedded in
stock prices.
Not true--insiders can gain by
trading on the basis of insider
information, but that’s illegal.
1-257
Is the stock market
efficient?
Empirical studies have been conducted
to test the three forms of efficiency. Most
of which suggest the stock market was:
Highly efficient in the weak form.
Reasonably efficient in the semi-strong form.
Not efficient in the strong form. Insiders
could and did make abnormal (and
sometimes illegal) profits.

elements of cognitive psychology to

Preferred stock
Hybrid security
Like bonds, preferred stockholders
receive a fixed dividend that must
be paid before dividends are paid
to common stockholders.
However, companies can omit
preferred dividend payments
without fear of pushing the firm
into bankruptcy.

If preferred stock with an annual
dividend of $5 sells for $50, what is
the preferred stock’s expected
return?
Vp = D / kp
