c. Corporate Financial Management is that branch of finance which involves providing useful information to the business which can be used by it to take various business decisions. Corporate financial management has var
ious objectives including maximizing the value of the shareholders wealth and managing the various types of financial risks that are faced by any business firm. Corporate financial management can be split into two parts- analysis of short term decisions and analysis of long term decisions.
The main objective of corporate financial management is to maximize the return for shareholders and to provide useful information to the management for their decision making (Jensen 2001). According to the main principle of corporate financial management, a company should invest in those projects which are able to provide a greater return than the cost of capital which is applicable to the projects of the company.
Corporate financial management makes it possible for the firms to find out the return that will be generated by different projects on the basis of estimated future cash flows that will be generated by the project during the life of the project. It allows the companies to select the particular mix of different combination of funds which is equivalent to the hurdle rate or cost of capital of the company. Since the main objective of corporate financial management is to maximize the value of returns attributable to the equity shareholders of the company, corporate financial management enables the managers of the company to obtain accurate information which is required for selection of most profitable projects. The wealth of the shareholders of the company can be maximized if the company invests in those projects which increase the value of the capital that has been contributed by them to the company in the form of capital investment (Damodaran 1996).
Apart from the objective of maximization of wealth of shareholders, the other major objective of corporate financial management is to maximize the value of firm i.e. to maximize the prices of shares of the company. Corporate financial management has another very important objective of performing assessment of long term and short term decisions of the company. It enables the company to evaluate the viability of various investment proposals. It also provides insight to the company in relation to decisions such as whether to pay dividend or not, which sources of funds should be used for financing the projects of the company. The top management of the company always wants the company to invest in those projects which have high net present value. It also enables the company to decide which projects it should accept and which projects should be rejected by the company.
It has another objective of supporting the company in its decisions related to financing or its decisions related to the choice of sources of funds to be raised by the company. It enables the management to decide when, where and how it should raise those funds which are required to meet the needs of its future expansion and growth (BMS n.d.). It helps the management in deciding the optimum capital structure for the company.
Question 2
1.
The relationship between real and nominal rate of interest can be stated using below formula, which is also known as the Fisher Effect.
    (1+I)
    =
    (1+R)(1+H)
    
    
    
    
    
    
    I=
    Nominal rate of return
    
    R=
    Real rate
    
    
    
    H=
    Inflation rate
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    1+I
    =
    (1+0.04)*(1+0.07)
    
    1+I
    =
    1.1128
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    I
    =
    0.1128
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    I
    =
    11.28%
    
The nominal rate of return is 11.28%
2. The calculation of return and standard deviation of common stock A and B has been given below
    Common Stock A

    0.2
    22%
    4.40%
     
    Return
    15.40%
     
    Standard deviation
    1.41%
On the basis of return
Common stock B has a higher return than common stock A. Hence, Common stock B is better than Common stock A.
On the basis of risk (standard deviation)
Common stock B has a lower risk (as measured by standard deviation) than Common stock A. Hence, Common stock B is better than Common stock A.
Conclusion: Common stock B is better than Common stock A, both in terms of risk and return as it has a higher return and lower risk.
3. The Value of common stock can be found using the formula as per Dividend Growth model.
P= D1/r-g
D1= $3.5*(1.05) = $3.675
r=20%
g= 5%
P= Value of common stock can be found out by entering these values in the above mentioned formula
P= 3.675/(0.2-0.05)= $24.5
Hence, Value of common stock is $24.5

    Dividend per share

Vp = DP/KP
Value of preferred stock = 14/0.12= $116.67

a.
Formula for calculating effective cost of trade
=Discount Percentage ÷ (1-Discount %) x [360/(Full allowed payment days - Discount days)]
=2/(1-0.02)*[360/(30-10)]
Effective cost of trade = 36.73%
b. 3/(1-0.03)*[360/(30-15)]
Effective cost of trade = 74.22%
6.
a. 1/(1-0.01)*[360/(20-10)]
Effective cost of trade = 36.36%
b. 2/(1-0.02)*[360/(30-10)]
Effective cost of trade = 36.73%

    S (order cost per order)
    =
    $ 800
    H (Holding cost per unit per year)
    =
    $ 24
OQ =     = 2000 umits
7B) The reorder quantity can be calculated using the below formula:
=(Average daily usage rate x Lead time) + Safety stock
= (167*25) + 3000
Average Inventory to be maintained = 7175 units
