  3. What is Corporate Finance? Corporate Finance addresses the following three questions: • What long-term investments should the firm engage in? • How can the firm raise the money for the required investments? • How much short-term cash flow does a company need to pay its bills?

  4. Total Value of Assets: Total Firm Value to Investors: Current Liabilities Current Assets Long-Term Debt Fixed Assets 1 Tangible 2 Intangible Shareholders’ Equity The Balance-Sheet Model of the Firm

Ultimately, the firm must be a cash generating activity.

  12. 1.2 Corporate Securities as Contingent Claims on Total Firm Value • The basic feature of a debt is that it is a promise by the borrowing firm to repay a fixed dollar amount of by a certain date. • The shareholder’s claim on firm value is the residual amount that remains after the debtholders are paid. • If the value of the firm is less than the amount promised to the debtholders, the shareholders get nothing.

  13. Payoff to debt holders Payoff to shareholders $F $F Value of the firm (X) Value of the firm (X) Debt and Equity as Contingent Claims If the value of the firm is more than $F, debt holders get a maximum of $F. If the value of the firm is less than $F, share holders get nothing. $F If the value of the firm is more than $F, share holders get everything above $F. Debt holders are promised $F. If the value of the firm is less than $F, they get the whatever the firm if worth. Algebraically, the bondholder’s claim is: Min[$F,$X] Algebraically, the shareholder’s claim is: Max[0,$X –$F]

  14. Combined Payoffs to debt holders and shareholders Payoff to shareholders Payoff to debt holders $F Value of the firm (X) Combined Payoffs to Debt and Equity If the value of the firm is less than $F, the shareholder’s claim is: Max[0,$X –$F] = $0 and the debt holder’s claim is Min[$F,$X] = $X. The sum of these is = $X $F If the value of the firm is more than $F, the shareholder’s claim is: Max[0,$X –$F] = $X –$F and the debt holder’s claim is: Min[$F,$X] = $F. The sum of these is = $X Debt holders are promised $F.

  15. 1.3 The Corporate Firm • The corporate form of business is the standard method for solving the problems encountered in raising large amounts of cash. • However, businesses can take other forms.

  16. Forms of Business Organization • The Sole Proprietorship • The Partnership • General Partnership • Limited Partnership • The Corporation • Advantages and Disadvantages • Liquidity and Marketability of Ownership • Control • Liability • Continuity of Existence • Tax Considerations

  17. Corporation Partnership Liquidity Shares can easily be exchanged. Subject to substantial restrictions. Voting Rights Usually each share gets one vote General Partner is in charge; limited partners may have some voting rights. Taxation Double Partners pay taxes on distributions. Reinvestment and dividend payout Broad latitude All net cash flow is distributed to partners. Liability Limited liability General partners may have unlimited liability. Limited partners enjoy limited liability. Continuity Perpetual life Limited life A Comparison of Partnership and Corporations

  18. 1.4 Goals of the Corporate Firm • The traditional answer is that the managers of the corporation are obliged to make efforts to maximize shareholder wealth.

  19. The Set-of-Contracts Perspective • The firm can be viewed as a set of contracts. • One of these contracts is between shareholders and managers. • The managers will usually act in the shareholders’ interests. • The shareholders can devise contracts that align the incentives of the managers with the goals of the shareholders. • The shareholders can monitor the managers behavior. • This contracting and monitoring is costly.

  20. Separation of Ownership and Control Board of Directors Management Debtholders Shareholders Debt Assets Equity

  21. Do Shareholders Control Managerial Behavior? • Shareholders vote for the board of directors, who in turn hire the management team. • Contracts can be carefully constructed to be incentive compatible. • There is a market for managerial talent—this may provide market discipline to the managers—they can be replaced. • If the managers fail to maximize share price, they may be replaced in a hostile takeover.

  22. 1.5 Financial Markets • Primary Market • When a corporation issues securities, cash flows from investors to the firm. • Usually an underwriter is involved • Secondary Markets • Involve the sale of “used” securities from one investor to another. • Securities may be exchanged or traded over-the-counter in a dealer market.
