FirstPrinciples&TheBigPicture

The Investment DecisionInvest in assets that earn a

return greater than the minimum acceptable hurdle

rate

The Financing DecisionFind the right kind of debt for your firm and the right mix of debt and equity to

fund your operations

The Dividend DecisionIf you cannot find investments

that make your minimum acceptable rate, return the cash

to owners of your business

The hurdle rate should reflect the riskiness of the investment and the mix of debt and equity used

to fund it.

The return should relfect the magnitude and the timing of the

cashflows as welll as all side effects.

The optimal mix of debt and equity

maximizes firm value

The right kind of debt

matches the tenor of your

assets

How much cash you can

return depends upon

current & potential

investment opportunities

How you choose to return cash to the owners will

depend whether they prefer

dividends or buybacks

Maximize the value of the business (firm)
