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

Capital Structure
The value of the firm can be
thought of as a pie.
The goal of the manager is
to increase the size of the
pie.
The Capital Structure
decision can be viewed as
how best to slice up a the
pie.
If how you slice the pie affects the size of the pie,
then the capital structure decision matters.

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 shareholders 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 talentthis
may provide market discipline to the
managersthey can be replaced.
If the managers fail to maximize share price,
they may be replaced in a hostile takeover.

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 exchange traded or trade over-the-
counter in a dealer market.

Exchange Trading of Listed Stocks
Auction markets are different from dealer
markets in two ways:
Trading in a given auction exchange takes place at a
single site on the floor of the exchange.
Transaction prices of shares are communicated
almost immediately to the public.

2.1.1 The Balance Sheet
An accountants snapshot of the firms
accounting value as of a particular date.
The Balance Sheet Identity is:
Assets Liabilities + Stockholders Equity
When analyzing a balance sheet, the
financial manager should be aware of three
concerns: accounting liquidity, debt versus
equity, and value versus cost.

Balance Sheet Analysis
When analyzing a balance sheet, the financial
manager should be aware of three concerns:
1. Accounting liquidity
2. Debt versus equity
3. Value versus cost
8/18/2013
3
Corporate Finance
2-6
Accounting Liquidity
Refers to the ease and quickness with which
assets can be converted to cash.
Current assets are the most liquid.
Some fixed assets are intangible.
The more liquid a firms assets, the less likely
the firm is to experience problems meeting
short-term obligations.
Liquid assets frequently have lower rates of
return than fixed assets.
Corporate Finance
2-7
Debt versus Equity
Generally, when a firm borrows it gives the
bondholders first claim on the firms cash flow.
Thus shareholders equity is the residual
difference between assets and liabilities.
Corporate Finance
2-8
Value versus Cost
Under GAAP audited financial statements of
firms in the U.S. carry assets at cost.
Market value is a completely different concept.

Income Statement Analysis
There are three things to keep in mind when
analyzing an income statement:
1. GAAP
2. Non Cash Items
3. Time and Costs
8/18/2013
6
Corporate Finance
2-
15
Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles
1. GAAP
The matching principal of GAAP dictates that
revenues be matched with expenses. Thus,
income is reported when it is earned, even
though no cash flow may have occurred
Corporate Finance
2-
16
Income Statement Analysis
2. Non Cash Items
Depreciation is the most apparent. No firm ever
writes a check for depreciation.
Another noncash item is deferred taxes, which does
not represent a cash flow.
Corporate Finance
2-
17
Income Statement Analysis
3. Time and Costs
In the short run, certain equipment, resources, and
commitments of the firm are fixed, but the firm can
vary such inputs as labor and raw materials.
In the long run, all inputs of production (and hence costs)
are variable.
Financial accountants do not distinguish between variable
costs and fixed costs. Instead, accounting costs usually
fit into a classification that distinguishes product costs
from period costs.

2.1.4 Financial Cash Flow
In finance, the most important item that can be
extracted from financial statements is the actual
cash flow of the firm.
Since there is no magic in finance, it must be the
case that the cash from received from the firms
assets must equal the cash flows to the firms
creditors and stockholders.

Introduction to Valuation: a simple
example
You plan to buy an asset at 316 M VND. This
is a riskless investment as if you buy this asset,
somebody is willing to take it at 400 M VND
after 3 years. Your close friend advices you not
to buy it, recommending more risky investments
with higher return (15 % per year, including a
risk premium of 5 %)
Will you buy this asset?

Why Use Net Present Value?
Accepting positive NPV projects benefits shareholders.
Example
Riskless project:
Initial cost: 100; unique cash flow in one year: 107; discount rate: 6 %
NPV = 0.94
If the project is forgone: bank deposit 100 106 in one year the
project benefits shareholders (absolute opportunity cost: 6)
Firm value without project: V + 100; with project: V + 107/1.06
Risky project:
About as risky as the stock market: expected return (=required return) =
10 % NPV < 0
Opportunity cost = expected return on stock market = 10 %
Corporate Finance
6-2
The Net Present Value (NPV) Rule
Net Present Value (NPV) =
Total PV of future CFs - Initial Investment
Estimating NPV:
1. Estimate future cash flows: how much? and when?
2. Estimate discount rate
3. Estimate initial costs
Minimum Acceptance Criteria: Accept if NPV > 0
Ranking Criteria: Choose the highest NPV

Corporate Finance
6-3
Good Attributes of the NPV Rule
1. Uses cash flows
2. Uses ALL cash flows of the project
3. Discounts ALL cash flows properly
Reinvestment assumption: the NPV rule assumes
that all cash flows can be reinvested at the
discount rate.

its initial investment?

The Payback Period Rule (continued)
Disadvantages:

Ignores cash flows after the payback period
Biased against long-term projects

not have a positive NPV
Advantages:

The Payback Period Rule (continued)
Managerial perspective
Used by large, sophisticated companies when making
relatively small decisions
Desirable features for managerial control: shorter time to
evaluate the managers decision-making ability
Also used by firms with good investment opportunities but no
or little cash available
Practitioners: academic criticisms of payback overstate real-
world problems (e.g., project C)
Bigger projects: NPV becomes the order of the day

The Discounted Payback Period Rule
How long does it take the project to pay back
its initial investment taking the time value of
money into account?
By the time you have discounted the cash flows,
you might as well calculate the NPV.

The Average Accounting Return Rule
Another attractive but fatally flawed approach.

Advantages:

The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) Rule
IRR: the discount that sets NPV to zero
Minimum Acceptance Criteria:
Accept if the IRR exceeds the required return.
Ranking Criteria:
Select alternative with the highest IRR
Reinvestment assumption:
All future cash flows assumed reinvested at the IRR.
Disadvantages:
Does not distinguish between investing and borrowing.
IRR may not exist or there may be multiple IRR
Problems with mutually exclusive investments
Advantages:
Easy to understand and communicate

Incremental Cash Flows
Cash flows matternot accounting earnings.
Incremental cash flows matter.
Cash flows with project cash flows without project
Sunk costs dont matter.
Sunk costs: cost already occurred, cannot be changed by
the decision to accept or reject the project.
Opportunity costs matter.
e.g., by taking a project, a firm forgoes other
opportunities for using an asset.

Incremental Cash Flows
Sunk costs are not relevant
Just because we have come this far does not mean
that we should continue to throw good money after
bad.
Opportunity costs do matter. Just because a
project has a positive NPV that does not mean
that it should also have automatic acceptance.
Specifically if another project with a higher NPV
would have to be passed up we should not
proceed.

Interest Expense
Later chapters will deal with the impact that

one year ago today at $25. Over the last year, you
received $20 in dividends (= 20 cents per share 100
shares). At the end of the year, the stock sells for $30.
How did you do?
Quite well. You invested $25 100 = $2,500. At the
end of the year, you have stock worth $3,000 and cash
dividends of $20. Your dollar gain was $520 = $20 +

Average Stock Returns
and Risk-Free Returns
The Risk Premium is the additional return (over and
above the risk-free rate) resulting from bearing risk.
One of the most significant observations of stock market
data is this long-run excess of stock return over the risk-
free return.
The average excess return from large company common stocks
for the period 1926 through 1999 was 8.4% = 12.2% 3.8%
The average excess return from small company common stocks
for the period 1926 through 1999 was 13.2% = 16.9% 3.8%
The average excess return from long-term corporate bonds for
the period 1926 through 1999 was 2.4% = 6.2% 3.8%

Risk Premia
Suppose that The Wall Street Journal announced that
the current rate for on-year Treasury bills is 5%.
What is the expected return on the market of small-
company stocks?
Recall that the average excess return from small
company common stocks for the period 1926 through
1999 was 13.2%
Given a risk-free rate of 5%, we have an expected return
on the market of small-company stocks of 18.2% =

Risk Premiums
Rate of return on T-bills is essentially risk-free.
Investing in stocks is risky, but there are
compensations.
The difference between the return on T-bills and
stocks is the risk premium for investing in stocks.

Risk Statistics
There is no universally agreed-upon definition of
risk.
The measures of risk that we discuss are variance
and standard deviation.
The standard deviation is the standard statistical
measure of the spread of a sample, and it will be the
measure we use most of this time.
Its interpretation is facilitated by a discussion of the
normal distribution.

Normal Distribution
The 20.1-percent standard deviation we
found for stock returns from 1926 through
1999 can now be interpreted in the
following way: if stock returns are
approximately normally distributed, the
probability that a yearly return will fall
within 20.1 percent of the mean of 13.3
percent will be approximately 2/3.

Summary and Conclusions
This chapter presents returns for four asset
classes:
Large Company Stocks
Small Company Stocks
Long-Term Government Bonds
Treasury Bills
Stocks have outperformed bonds over most of
the twentieth century, although stocks have also
exhibited more risk.
Corporate Finance

Summary and Conclusions
The stocks of small companies have
outperformed the stocks of small
companies over most of the twentieth
century, again with more risk.
The statistical measures in this chapter are
necessary building blocks for the material
of the next three chapters.

The Return and Risk
for Portfolios
Note that stocks have a higher expected return than bonds and
higher risk. Let us turn now to the risk-return tradeoff of a portfolio
that is 50% invested in bonds and 50% invested in stocks.

In a large portfolio the variance terms are effectively
diversified away, but the covariance terms are not.
Thus diversification can eliminate some,
but not all of the risk of individual securities.

Definition of Risk When Investors Hold
the Market Portfolio
Researchers have shown that the best measure of
the risk of a security in a large portfolio is the
beta ()of the security.
Beta measures the responsiveness of a security to
movements in the market portfolio.

Summary and Conclusions
This chapter sets forth the principles of modern portfolio theory.
The expected return and variance on a portfolio of two securities
A and B are given by
By varying w
A
, one can trace out the efficient set of portfolios.
We graphed the efficient set for the two-asset case as a curve,
pointing out that the degree of curvature reflects the
diversification effect: the lower the correlation between the two
securities, the greater the diversification.
The same general shape holds in a world of many assets.

Summary and Conclusions
The efficient set of risky assets can be combined with riskless
borrowing and lending. In this case, a rational investor will

Summary and Conclusions
The contribution of a security to the risk of a well-diversified
portfolio is proportional to the covariance of the security's return
with the markets return. This contribution is called the beta.
The CAPM states that the expected return on a security is
positively related to the securitys beta:

The Capital-Structure Question
and The Pie Theory
The value of a firm is defined to be the sum of
the value of the firms debt and the firms equity.
V = B + S
If the goal of the management
of the firm is to make the firm
as valuable as possible, the the
firm should pick the debt-equity
ratio that makes the pie as big
as possible.

The Capital-Structure Question
There are really two important questions:
1. Why should the stockholders care about maximizing
firm value? Perhaps they should be interested in
strategies that maximize shareholder value.
2. What is the ratio of debt-to-equity that maximizes the
shareholders value?
As it turns out, changes in capital structure benefit the
stockholders if and only if the value of the firm
increases.

So far, we have seen M&M suggest that financial

optimal financial structure to be 100% debt.
In the real world, most executives do not like a capital
structure of 100% debt because that is a state known as
bankruptcy.
In the next chapter we will introduce the notion of a
limit on the use of debt: financial distress.

The Benchmark Case: An Illustration of the
Irrelevance of Dividend Policy
A compelling case can be made that dividend
policy is irrelevant.
Since investors do not need dividends to convert
shares to cash they will not pay higher prices for
firms with higher dividend payouts.
In other words, dividend policy will have no
impact on the value of the firm because investors
can create whatever income stream they prefer by
using homemade dividends.

Irrelevance of Stock Dividends: Example
Shimano USA has 2 million shares currently outstanding at $15 per
share. The company declares a 50% stock dividend. How many
shares will be outstanding after the dividend is paid?
A 50% stock dividend will increase the number of shares by 50%:
2 million1.5 = 3 million shares
After the stock dividend what is the new price per share and what is
the new value of the firm?
The value of the firm was $2m $15 per share = $30 m. After the
dividend, the value will remain the same.
Price per share = $30m/ 3m shares = $10 per share

Dividends and Investment Policy
Firms should never forgo positive NPV projects
to increase a dividend (or to pay a dividend for
the first time).

dividend-irrelevance arguments was The
investment policy of the firm is set ahead of time
and is not altered by changes in dividend policy.

Personal Taxes, Issuance Costs, and
Dividends
To get the result that dividend policy is irrelevant, we
needed three assumptions:
No taxes
No transactions costs
No uncertainty
In the United States, both cash dividends and capital
gains are taxed at a maximum rate of 15 percent.
Since capital gains can be deferred, the tax rate on
dividends is greater than the effective rate on capital
gains.

The above argument does not necessarily apply to firms

these are negative NPV).

Taxes, Issuance Costs,
and Dividends
In the presence of personal taxes:
1. A firm should not issue stock to pay a dividend.
2. Managers have an incentive to seek alternative uses
for funds to reduce dividends.
3. Though personal taxes mitigate against the payment
of dividends, these taxes are not sufficient to lead
firms to eliminate all dividends.

Desire for Current Income
The homemade dividend argument relies on no

their investors at a specified rate.

It would be erroneous to conclude that increased
dividends can make the firm less risky.
A firms overall cash flows are not necessarily
affected by dividend policyas long as capital
spending and borrowing are not changes.
Thus, it is hard to see how the risks of the overall
cash flows can be changed with a change in
dividend policy.

Tax Arbitrage
Investors can create positions in high dividend-
yield securities that avoid tax liabilities.
Thus, corporate managers need not view
dividends as tax-disadvantaged.

Firms in financial distress are reluctant to cut
dividends. To protect themselves, bondholders
frequently create loan agreements stating dividends
can only be paid if the firm has earns, cash flow and
working capital above pre-specified levels.
Agency Costs of Equity
Managers will find it easier to squander funds if they
have a low dividend payout.

The Clientele Effect: A Resolution of Real-
World Factors?
Clienteles for various dividend payout policies are likely
to form in the following way:
Group Stock
High Tax Bracket Individuals
Low Tax Bracket Individuals
Tax-Free Institutions
Corporations
Zero to Low payout stocks
Low-to-Medium payout
Medium Payout Stocks
High Payout Stocks
Once the clienteles have been satisfied, a corporation is
unlikely to create value by changing its dividend policy.

What We Know and Do Not Know
About Dividend Policy
Corporations Smooth Dividends.
Dividends Provide Information to the Market.
Firms should follow a sensible dividend policy:
Dont forgo positive NPV projects just to pay a
dividend.
Avoid issuing stock to pay dividends.
Consider share repurchase when there are few better
uses for the cash.

Summary and Conclusions
The optimal payout ratio cannot be determined
quantitatively.
In a perfect capital market, dividend policy is irrelevant due
to the homemade dividend concept.
A firm should not reject positive NPV projects to pay a
dividend.
Personal taxes and issue costs are real-world considerations
that favor low dividend payouts.
Many firms appear to have along-run target dividend-payout
policy. There appears to be some value to dividend stability
and smoothing.
There appears to be some information content in dividend
payments.
