Job Security
Management’s decisions may be based on retaining management, rather than Shareholder Wealth Maximization
Example: A decision is made to retain an existing supplier
rather than select a new supplier providing higher quality and/or lower cost
Why? If a change is made management will be scrutinized, but if no change is made, the issue will be ignored.

SWM and Profit Maximization
Shareholder Wealth Maximization is not the same as Profit Maximization
Reasons: Profit maximization has no time dimension Profit is an accounting concept with many
different interpretations Profit maximization ignores risk
![Page 24: Lecture 1 the role and objective of fm](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/54be26b04a795992628b4635/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Maximizing Shareholder Wealth
To maximize shareholder wealth, the financial manager must maximize the market value of the firm’s common stock
Three factors determine the market value of common stock: Size of the firm’s cash flow Timing of the firm’s cash flow Risk of the firm’s cash flow stream
![Page 25: Lecture 1 the role and objective of fm](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/54be26b04a795992628b4635/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
© 2004 by Nelson, a division of Thomson Canada Limited25
Conditions Affecting Market Value
Conditions in Financial
Markets
Factors outside of management’s control
Amount, Timing & Size of Expected Cash Flows
Shareholder Wealth (Market Price of the Shares)
Factors within management’s control
![Page 26: Lecture 1 the role and objective of fm](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/54be26b04a795992628b4635/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Cash Flow
Cash flows, not accounting profits, are critical to most financial analysis
Important cash flow concepts: Timing of cash inflows versus cash outflows Cash flow is not equal to operating profit.
![Page 27: Lecture 1 the role and objective of fm](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/54be26b04a795992628b4635/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Concept of Net Present Value
The net present value (NPV) of an investment represents the contribution of the investment to the value of the firm
To maximize shareholder wealth, reject all projects with a negative NPV
NPV = PV of cash inflows - PV of cash outflows
![Page 28: Lecture 1 the role and objective of fm](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/54be26b04a795992628b4635/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

NPV Example
A firm is analyzing a new investment opportunity. It can invest $1 million today to generate free cash flows of $400,000 per year for the next three years. After three years, the project is worthless. The firm’s shareholders require a 20% return. Should they proceed?
![Page 29: Lecture 1 the role and objective of fm](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/54be26b04a795992628b4635/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

NPV Example: Intuition
0 321
$1 M $400K $400K $400K
Solution is calculated by discount each of the cash flows back to time period zero using a
discount rate of 20%.

NPV Decision:
Reject the project. Accepting the project will destroy significant shareholder value

Major Points
Businesses may be established as proprietorships, partnerships or corporations.
Shareholders are entitled to a number of rights as owners of a corporation.
The separation between shareholders, managers and creditors give rise to agency problems which detract from a firm’s goal of shareholder wealth maximization.
Positive NPV projects enhance shareholder wealth.
