Assuming that the encabulator market is risky, an 8% expected return on the F&H encabulator investments may be inferior to a 4% return on U.S. government securities.
b.
Unless their financial assets are as safe as U.S. government securities, their cost of capital would be higher. The CFO could consider what the expected return is on assets with similar risk.

Shareholders will only vote to maximize shareholder wealth. Shareholders can modify their pattern of consumption through borrowing and lending, match risk preferences, and hopefully balance their own checkbooks (or hire a qualified professional to help them with these tasks).

As the Goldman Sachs example illustrates, the firm’s value typically falls by significantly more than the amount of any fines and settlements. The firm’s reputation suffers in a financial scandal, financial scandal, and this can have a much larger effect than the fines levied. Investors may also wonder whether all of the misdeeds have been contained.

Managers would act in shareholders’ interests because they have a legal duty to act in their interests. Managers may also receive compensation, compensation, either bonuses or stock and option payouts whose value is tied (roughly) to firm performance. Managers may fear personal reputational damage that would result from not acting in shareholders’ interests. And managers managers can be fired by the board of directors, which in turn is elected by shareholders. If managers still fail to act in shareholders’ interests, shareholders shareholders may sell their shares, lowering the stock price and potentially creating the possibility of a takeover, which can again lead to changes in the board of directors and senior management.

Managers that are insulated from takeovers may be more prone to agency problems and therefore more likely to act in their own interests rather than in shareholders’. If a firm instituted a new takeover defense, we might expect to see the value of its shares decline as agency problems increase and less shareholder value maximization occurs. The counterargument is that defensive measures allow managers to negotiate for a higher purchase price in the face of a takeover bid— bid—to the benefit of shareholder value.

G also invests, but borrows against the $121,000 payment, and thus receives $100,833 ($121,000 / 1.20) today. Est time: 01-05
2. a. He could consume up to $200,000 now (forgoing all future consumption) or up to $216,000 next year ($200,000×1.08, forgoing all consumption this year). He should invest all of his wealth to earn $216,000 next year. year. To choose the same consumption (C ) in both years, C = = ($200,000 – C ) × 1.08= $103,846. Dollars Next Year 220,000 216,000
203,704 200,000
Dollars Now
b. He should invest all of his wealth to earn $220,000 $220,000 ($200,000 × 1.10)next year. If he consumes all this year, he can now have a total of $203,703.70($200,000× 1.10/1.08) this year or $220,000 next next year. If he consumes C this year, the amount available for next year’s consumption is ($203,703.70 – ($203,703.70 – C )×1.08. )×1.08. To get equal equal consumption in both years, set the amount consumed today equal to the amount next year: C = = ($203,703.70 – C )×1.08 )×1.08 C = = $105,769.20 Est time: 06-10
