Zutter, who unconditionally supports my every endeavor CJZ Our Proven Teaching and Learning System sers of Principles of Managerial Finance have praised the effectiveness of the book’s Teaching and Learning System, which they hail as one of its hallmarks The system, driven by a set of carefully developed learning goals, has been retained and polished in this thirteenth edition The “walkthrough” on the pages that follow illustrates and describes the key elements of the Teaching and Learning System We encourage both students and instructors to acquaint themselves at the start of the semester with the many useful features the book offers U The Role of Managerial Finance Learning Goals Why This Chapter Matters to You LG Define finance and the In your professional life managerial finance function LG Describe the legal forms of business organization LG Describe the goal of the firm, and explain why maximizing the value of the firm is an appropriate goal for a business LG Describe how the managerial finance function is related to economics and accounting LG Identify the primary activities of the financial manager LG Describe the nature of the principal–agent relationship between the owners and managers of a corporation, and explain how various corporate governance mechanisms attempt to manage agency problems ACCOUNTING You need to understand the relationships between the accounting and finance functions within the firm; how decision makers rely on the financial statements you prepare; why maximizing a firm’s value is not the same as maximizing its profits; and the ethical duty that you have when reporting financial results to investors and other stakeholders INFORMATION SYSTEMS You need to understand why financial information is important to managers in all functional areas; the documentation that firms must produce to comply with various regulations; and how manipulating information for personal gain can get managers into serious trouble MANAGEMENT You need to understand the various legal forms of a business organization; how to communicate the goal of the firm to employees and other stakeholders; the advantages and disadvantages of the agency relationship between a firm’s managers and its owners; and how compensation systems can align or misalign the interests of managers and investors MARKETING You need to understand why increasing a firm’s revenues or market share is not always a good thing; how financial managers evaluate aspects of customer relations such as cash and credit management policies; and why a firm’s brands are an important part of its value to investors OPERATIONS You need to understand the financial benefits of increasing a firm’s production efficiency; why maximizing profit by cutting costs may not increase the firm’s value; and how managers act on behalf of investors when operating a corporation Many of the principles of manageIn your life rial finance also apply to your personal life Learning a few simple financial principles can help you manage your own money more effectively personal Six Learning Goals at the start of the chapter highlight the most important concepts and techniques in the chapter Students are reminded to think about the learning goals while working through the chapter by strategically placed learning goal icons Every chapter opens with a feature, titled Why This Chapter Matters to You, that helps motivate student interest by highlighting both professional and personal benefits from achieving the chapter learning goals Its first part, In Your Professional Life, discusses the intersection of the finance topics covered in the chapter with the concerns of other major business disciplines It encourages students majoring in accounting, information systems, management, marketing, and operations to appreciate how financial acumen will help them achieve their professional goals The second part, In Your Personal Life, identifies topics in the chapter that will have particular application to personal finance This feature also helps students appreciate the tasks performed in a business setting by pointing out that the tasks are not necessarily different from those that are relevant in their personal lives vii Each chapter begins with a short opening vignette that describes a recent real-company event related to the chapter topic These stories raise interest in the chapter by demonstrating its relevance in the business world Facebook In No Hurry to Go Public F acebook founder and chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg is in no hurry to go public, even though he concedes that it is an inevitable step in the evolution of his firm The Facebook CEO is on record saying that “we’re going to go public eventually, because that’s the contract that we have with our investors and our employees [but] we are definitely in no rush.” Nearly all public firms were at one time privately held by relatively few shareholders, but at some point the firms’ managers decided to go public The decision to go public is one of the most important decisions managers can make Private firms are typically held by fewer shareholders and are subject to less regulation than are public firms So why firms go public at all? Often it is to provide an exit strategy for its private investors, gain access to investment capital, establish a market price for the firm’s shares, gain public exposure, or all of the above Going public helps firms grow, but that and other benefits of public ownership must be weighed against the costs of going public Although taking Facebook public would likely make Zuckerberg one of the richest persons in the world under the age of 30, it would also mean that his firm would become subject to the influences of outside investors and government regulators A public firm’s managers work for and are responsible to the firm’s investors, and government regulations require firms to provide investors with frequent reports disclosing material information about the firm’s performance The regulatory demands placed on managers of public firms can sometimes distract managers from important aspects of running their businesses This chapter will highlight the tradeoffs faced by financial managers as they make decisions intended to maximize the value of their firms Learning goal icons tie chapter content to the learning goals and appear next to related text sections and again in the chapter-end summary, end-ofchapter homework materials, and supplements such as the Study Guide, Test Item File, and MyFinanceLab For help in study and review, boldfaced key terms and their definitions appear in the margin where they are first introduced These terms are also boldfaced in the book’s index and appear in the endof-book glossary viii LG LG 1.1 Finance and Business The field of finance is broad and dynamic Finance influences everything that firms do, from hiring personnel to building factories to launching new advertising campaigns Because there are important financial dimensions to almost any aspect of business, there are many financially oriented career opportunities for those who understand the basic principles of finance described in this textbook Even if you not see yourself pursuing a career in finance, you’ll find that an understanding of a few key ideas in finance will help make you a smarter consumer and a wiser investor with your own money Corporations corporation An entity created by law stockholders The owners of a corporation, whose ownership, or equity, takes the form of either common stock or preferred stock A corporation is an entity created by law A corporation has the legal powers of an individual in that it can sue and be sued, make and be party to contracts, and acquire property in its own name Although only about 20 percent of all U.S businesses are incorporated, the largest businesses nearly always are; corporations account for nearly 90 percent of total business revenues Although corporations engage in all types of businesses, manufacturing firms account for the largest portion of corporate business receipts and net profits Table 1.1 lists the key strengths and weaknesses of corporations Matter of Fact boxes provide interesting empirical facts that add background and depth to the material covered in the chapter Matter of fact Problems with P/E Valuation T he P/E multiple approach is a fast and easy way to estimate a stock’s value However, P/E ratios vary widely over time In 1980, the average stock had a P/E ratio below 9, but by the year 2000, the ratio had risen above 40 Therefore, analysts using the P/E approach in the 1980s would have come up with much lower estimates of value than analysts using the model 20 years later In other words, when using this approach to estimate stock values, the estimate will depend more on whether stock market valuations generally are high or low rather than on whether the particular company is doing well or not In more depth P0 = To read about Deriving the

nominal interest rates on a number of classes of long-term securities in May 2010 were as follows: Security Nominal interest rate U.S Treasury bonds (average) Corporate bonds (by risk ratings): High quality (Aaa–Aa) Medium quality (A–Baa) Speculative (Ba–C) 3.30% 3.95 4.98 8.97 Because the U.S Treasury bond would represent the risk-free, long-term security, we can calculate the risk premium of the other securities by subtracting the riskfree rate, 3.30%, from each nominal rate (yield): Security Risk premium Corporate bonds (by ratings): High quality (Aaa–Aa) Medium quality (A–Baa) Speculative (Ba–C) 5.7 Time line for future value of an ordinary annuity ($1,000 end-of-year deposit, earning 7%, at the end of years) $1,310.80 1,225.04 1,144.90 1,070.00 1,000.00 $5,750.74 Future Value $1,000 $1,000 $1,000 (7.3) Examples are an important component of the book’s learning system Numbered and clearly set off from the text, they provide an immediate and concrete demonstration of how to apply financial concepts, tools, and techniques Some Examples demonstrate time-valueof-money techniques These examples often show the use of time lines, equations, financial calculators, and spreadsheets (with cell formulas) 3.95% - 3.30% = 0.65% 4.98 - 3.30 = 1.68 8.97 - 3.30 = 5.67 Fran Abrams wishes to determine how much money she will have at the end of years if she chooses annuity A, the ordinary annuity She will deposit $1,000 annually, at the end of each of the next years, into a savings account paying 7% annual interest This situation is depicted on the following time line:

topic in greater detail $1,000 $1,000 The Equation for Present Value The present value of a future amount can be found mathematically by solving Equation 5.4 for PV In other words, the present value, PV, of some future amount, FVn, to be received n periods from now, assuming an interest rate (or opportunity cost) of r, is calculated as follows: PV = Personal Finance Examples demonstrate how students can apply managerial finance concepts, tools, and techniques to their personal financial decisions FVn (1 + r)n (5.7) Note the similarity between this general equation for present value and the equation in the preceding example (Equation 5.6) Let’s use this equation in an example Key equations appear in green boxes throughout the text to help readers identify the most important mathematical relationships The variables used in these equations are, for convenience, printed on the back endpapers of the book ix Review Questions appear at the end of each major text section These questions challenge readers to stop and test their understanding of key concepts, tools, techniques, and practices before moving on to the next section In Practice boxes offer insights into important topics in managerial finance through the experiences of real companies, both large and small There are three categories of In Practice boxes: Focus on Ethics boxes in every chapter help readers understand and appreciate important ethical issues and problems related to managerial finance Focus on Practice boxes take a corporate focus that relates a business event or situation to a specific financial concept or technique Global Focus boxes look specifically at the managerial finance experiences of international companies All three types of In Practice boxes end with one or more critical thinking questions to help readers broaden the lesson from the content of the box REVIEW QUESTIONS 5–14 What effect does compounding interest more frequently than annually have on (a) future value and

The answer is a qualified yes Elroy Dimson, Paul Marsh, and Mike Staunton calculated the historical returns on a portfolio that included U.S stocks as well as stocks from 18 other countries This diversified portfolio produced returns that were not quite as high as the U.S average, just 8.6 percent per year However, the globally diversified portfolio was also less volatile, with an annual standard deviation of 17.8 percent Dividing the standard deviation by the annual return produces a coefficient of variation for the globally diversified portfolio of 2.07, slightly lower than the 2.10 coefficient of variation reported for U.S stocks in Table 8.5 International mutual funds not include any domestic assets whereas global mutual funds include both foreign and domestic assets How might this difference affect their correlation with U.S equity mutual funds?
