A20-year bond has a coupon rate of 8%, and another bond of the same maturity has a coupon rate of 15%. If the bonds are alike in all other respects, which will have the greater relative market price decline if interests increase sharply? Why?5. Why are dividends the basis for the valuation of common stock?6. Why is the growth rate in earnings and dividends of a company likely to taper off in the future? Could the growth rate increase as well? If it did, what would be the effect on stock price?7. Using the constant perpetual growth dividend valuation model, could you havea situation in which a company grows at 30% per year (after subtracting out inflation) forever? Explain.Chapter 5 Risk and ReturnDefining Risk and ReturnUsing Probability Distributions to Measure RiskAttitudes Toward RiskRisk and Return in a Portfolio ContextDiversificationThe Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)Efficient Financial MarketsKey Learning Points:Using Probability Distributions to Measure RiskAttitudes Toward RiskDiversificationThe Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)Objectives:After Studying Chapter 5, you should be able to: Understand the relationship (or “trade-off”) between risk and return. Define risk and return and show how to measure them by calculating expected return, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation. Discuss the different types of investor attitudes toward risk. Explain risk and return in a portfolio context, and distinguish between individual security and portfolio risk. Distinguish between avoidable (unsystematic) risk and unavoidable (systematic) risk and explain how proper diversification can eliminate one of these risks. Define and explain the capital-asset pricing model (CAPM), beta, and the characteristic line. Calculate a required rate of return using the capital-asset pricing model (CAPM). Demonstrate how the Security Market Line (SML) can be used to describe this relationship between expected rate of return and systematic risk. Explain what is meant by an “efficient financial market” and describe the three levels (or forms) of market efficiency.Questions:1. If investors were not risk averse on average, but rather were either risk indifferent (neutral) or even liked risk, would the risk- return concepts presented in this chapter be valid?2. Define the characteristic line and its beta.3. Why is beta a measure of systematic risk? What is its meaning?4. What is the required rate of return of a stock? How can it be measured?5. Is the security market line constant over time? Why or why not?6. Suppose that you are highly risk averse but that you still invest in common stocks. Will the beta of the stocks in which you invest be more or less than 1.0? Why?7. If a security is undervalued in terms of the capital-asset pricing model, whatwill happen if investors come to recognize this undervaluation?Part 3 Tools of Financial Analysis and PlanningChapter 6 Financial Statement AnalysisFinancial StatementsA Possible Framework for AnalysisBalance Sheet RatiosIncome Statement and Income/Balance Sheet RatiosTrend AnalysisCommon-Size and Index AnalysisKey Learning Points:Balance Sheet RatiosIncome Statement and Income/Balance Sheet RatiosObjectives:After Studying Chapter 6, you should be able to: Understand the purpose of basic financial statements and their contents.

Auxier Manufacturing Company has a current ratio of 4 to 1 but is unable to pay its bills. Why?4. Can a firm generate a 25% return on assets and still be technically insolvent (unable to pay its bills)? Explain.5. The traditional definitions of collection period and inventory turnover are criticized because in both cases balance sheet figures that are a result of approximately the last month of sales are related to annual sales (in the former case) or annual cost of goods sold (in the latter case). Why do these definitions present problems? Suggest a solution.6. Explain why a long-term creditor should be interested in liquidity ratios?7. Which financial ratios would you be most likely to consult if you were the following?a. A banker considering the financial of seasonal inventoryb. A wealthy equity investorc. The manager of a pension fund considering the purchase of a firm’sbondsd. The president of a consumer products firm8. In trying to judge whether a company has too much debt, what financial ratios would you use and for that purpose?9. Why might it be possible for a company to make large operating profits, yet still be unable to meet debt payments when due? What financial ratios might be employed to detect such a condition?10. Does increasing a firm’s inventory turnover ratio increase its profitability? Why should this ratio be computed using cost of goods sold (rather than sales, asis done by some compilers of financial statistics)?Chapter 7 Fund Analysis, Cash-Flow Analysis, and Financial Planning Flow of Funds (Sources and Uses) StatementAccounting Statement of Cash FlowsCash-Flow ForecastingRange of Cash-Flow EstimatesForecasting Financial StatementsKey Learning Points:Forecasting Financial StatementsObjectives:After Studying Chapter 7, you should be able to: Explain the difference between the flow of funds (sources and uses of funds) statement and the statement of cash flows –and understand the benefits of using each.

Contrast flow of funds (sources and uses) statements with cash budgets as planning tools.2. What is the purpose of a statement of cash flow?3. Discuss the benefits that can be derived by the firm from cash budgeting.4. Explain why selling inventory to credit customers is considered a source offunds when in fact no “funds” were generated?5. Is depreciation a source of funds? Under what conditions might the “source”dry up?6. Why do bankers closely analyze cash flow statements and/or sources and usesof funds statements in considering credit applications?7.

What are the two principal ways by which one can prepare forecast financialstatements?Part 4 Working Capital ManagementChapter 8 Overview of Working Capital ManagementWorking Capital ConceptsWorking Capital IssuesFinancing Current Assets: Short-Term and Long-Term MixCombining Liability Structure and Current Asset DecisionsKey Learning Points:Working Capital ConceptsCombining Liability Structure and Current Asset DecisionsObjectives:After Studying Chapter 8, you should be able to: Explain how the definition of "working capital" differs between financial analysts and accountants. Understand the two fundamental decision issues in working capital management –and the trade-offs involved in making these decisions. Discusshow to determine the optimal level of current assets.

Explain how to classify working capital according to its “components” and according to “time” (i.e., either p ermanent or temporary). Describe the hedging (maturity matching) approach to financing and the advantages/disadvantages of short- versus long-term financing. Explain how the financial manager combines the current asset decision with the liability structure decision.Questions:1. What does working capital management encompass? What functional decisions are involved, and what underlying principle or trade-off influences the decision process?2. Utilities hold 10% of total assets in current assets; retail trade industries hold 60% of total assets in current assets. Explain how industry characteristics account for this difference.3. Distinguish between “temporary” and “permanent” working capital.4. If the firm adopts a hedging (maturity matching) approach to financing, how would it finance its current assets?5. Some firms finance their permanent working capital with short-term liabilities (commercial paper and short-term notes). Explain the impact of this decision on the profitability and risk of these firms.6. Suppose that a firm finances its seasonal (temporary) current assets with long-term funds. What is the impact of this decision on the profitability and risk of this firm?7. At times, long-term interest rates are lower than short-term rates, yet the discussion in the chapter suggests that long-term financing is more expensive. If long-term rates are lower, should the firm finance itself entirely with long-term debt?8. How does shortening the maturity composition of outstanding debt increase the firm’s risk? Why does increasing the liquidity of the firm’s assets reduce the risk?9. What are the costs of maintaining too large a level of working capital? Too small a level of working capital?10.

Explain.Chapter 5 Risk and ReturnDefining Risk and ReturnUsing Probability Distributions to Measure RiskAttitudes Toward RiskRisk and Return in a Portfolio ContextDiversificationThe Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)Efficient Financial MarketsKey Learning Points:Using Probability Distributions to Measure RiskAttitudes Toward RiskDiversificationThe Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)Objectives:After Studying Chapter 5, you should be able to: Understand the relationship (or “trade-off”) between risk and return. Define risk and return and show how to measure them by calculating expected return, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation. Discuss the different types of investor attitudes toward risk. Explain risk and return in a portfolio context, and distinguish between individual security and portfolio risk. Distinguish between avoidable (unsystematic) risk and unavoidable (systematic) risk and explain how proper diversification can eliminate one of these risks. Define and explain thecapital-asset pricing model (CAPM), beta, and the characteristic line. Calculatea required rate of return using the capital-asset pricing model (CAPM).Demonstrate how the Security Market Line (SML) can be used to describe this relationship between expected rate of return and systematic risk. Explain what is meant by an “efficient financial market” and describe the three levels (or forms) of market efficiency.Questions:1. If investors were not risk averse on average, but rather were either riskindifferent (neutral) or even liked risk, would the risk- return concepts presented in this chapter be valid?2. Define the characteristic line and its beta.3. Why is beta a measure of systematic risk? What is its meaning?4. What is the required rate of return of a stock? How can it be measured?5. Is the security market line constant over time? Why or why not?6. Suppose that you are highly risk averse but that you still invest in commonstocks. Will the beta of the stocks in which you invest be more or less than 1.0?Why?7. If a security is undervalued in terms of the capital-asset pricing model, whatwill happen if investors come to recognize this undervaluation?Part 3 Tools of Financial Analysis and PlanningChapter 6 Financial Statement AnalysisFinancial StatementsA Possible Framework for AnalysisBalance Sheet RatiosIncome Statement and Income/Balance Sheet RatiosTrend AnalysisCommon-Size and Index AnalysisKey Learning Points:Balance Sheet RatiosIncome Statement and Income/Balance Sheet RatiosObjectives:After Studying Chapter 6, you should be able to: Understand the purpose of basic financial statements and their contents. Understand what is meant by “convergence” in accounting standards. Explain why financial statement analysis is important to the firm and to outside suppliers of capital. Define, calculate, and categorize (according to liquidity, financial leverage, coverage, activity, and profitability) the major financial ratios and understand what they can tell us about the firm. Define, calculate, and discuss a firm’s operating cycle and cash cycle. Use ratios to analyze a firm's health and then recommend reasonable alternative courses of action to improve the health of the firm. Analyze a firm’s return on investment (i.e., “earning power”) and return on equity using a DuPont approach. Understand the limitations of financial ratio analysis. Use trend analysis, common-size analysis, and index analysis to gain additional insights into a firm's performance.Questions:1. What is the purpose of a balance sheet? An income statement?2. Why is the analysis of trends in financial ratios important?3. Auxier Manufacturing Company has a current ratio of 4 to 1 but is unable to pay its bills. Why?4. Can a firm generate a 25% return on assets and still be technically insolvent (unable to pay its bills)? Explain.5. The traditional definitions of collection period and inventory turnover are criticized because in both cases balance sheet figures that are a result ofapproximately the last month of sales are related to annual sales (in the former case) or annual cost of goods sold (in the latter case). Why do these definitions present problems? Suggest a solution.6. Explain why a long-term creditor should be interested in liquidity ratios?7. Which financial ratios would you be most likely to consult if you were the following?a. A banker considering the financial of seasonal inventoryb. A wealthy equity investorc. The manager of a pension fund considering the purchase of a firm’sbondsd. The president of a consumer products firm8. In trying to judge whether a company has too much debt, what financial ratios would you use and for that purpose?9. Why might it be possible for a company to make large operating profits, yet still be unable to meet debt payments when due? What financial ratios might be employed to detect such a condition?10. Does increasing a firm’s inventory turnover ratio increase its profitability? Why should this ratio be computed using cost of goods sold (rather than sales, as is done by some compilers of financial statistics)?Chapter 7 Fund Analysis, Cash-Flow Analysis, and Financial PlanningFlow of Funds (Sources and Uses) StatementAccounting Statement of Cash FlowsCash-Flow ForecastingRange of Cash-Flow EstimatesForecasting Financial StatementsKey Learning Points:Forecasting Financial StatementsObjectives:After Studying Chapter 7, you should be able to: Explain the difference between the flow of funds (sources and uses of funds) statement and the statement of cash flows – and understand the benefits of using each. Define "funds" and identify sources and uses of funds. Create a sources and uses of funds statement, make adjustments, and analyze the final results. Describe the purpose and content of the statement of cash flows as well as implications that can be drawn from it. Prepare a cash budget from forecasts of sales, receipts, and disbursements – and know why such a budget should be flexible. Develop forecasted balance sheets and income statements. Understand the importance of using probabilistic information in forecasting financial statements and evaluating a firm's condition.Questions:1. Contrast flow of funds (sources and uses) statements with cash budgets as planning tools.2. What is the purpose of a statement of cash flow?3. Discuss the benefits that can be derived by the firm from cash budgeting.4. Explain why selling inventory to credit customers is considered a source of funds when in fact no “funds” were generated?5. Is depreciation a source of funds? Under what conditions might the “source” dry up?6. Why do bankers closely analyze cash flow statements and/or sources and uses of funds statements in considering credit applications?7. What are the major points of difference between a cash budget and the sources and uses of funds statement?8. On what items should the financial manager concentrate in order to improve the accuracy of the cash budget? Explain your reasoning.9.

What are the two principal ways by which one can prepare forecast financialstatements?Part 4 Working Capital ManagementChapter 8 Overview of Working Capital ManagementWorking Capital ConceptsWorking Capital IssuesFinancing Current Assets: Short-Term and Long-Term MixCombining Liability Structure and Current Asset DecisionsKey Learning Points:Working Capital ConceptsCombining Liability Structure and Current Asset DecisionsObjectives:After Studying Chapter 8, you should be able to: Explain how the definition of "working capital" differs between financial analysts and accountants. Understand the two fundamental decision issues in working capital management – and the trade-offs involved in making these decisions. Discuss how to determine the optimal level of current assets. Describe the relationship between profitability, liquidity, and risk in the management of working capital.Explain how to classify working capital according to its “components” and according to “time” (i.e., either permanent or temporary). Describe the hedging (maturity matching) approach to financing and the advantages/disadvantages of short- versus long-term financing. Explain how the financial manager combines the current asset decision with the liability structure decision.Questions:1. What does working capital management encompass? What functionaldecisions are involved, and what underlying principle or trade-off influences thedecision process?2. Utilities hold 10% of total assets in current assets; retail trade industries hold 60% of total assets in current assets. Explain how industry characteristics account for this difference.3. Distinguish between “temporary” and “permanent” working capital.4. If the firm adopts a hedging (maturity matching) approach to financing, how would it finance its current assets?5. Some firms finance their permanent working capital with short-term liabilities (commercial paper and short-term notes). Explain the impact of this decision on the profitability and risk of these firms.6. Suppose that a firm finances its seasonal (temporary) current assets with long-term funds. What is the impact of this decision on the profitability and risk of this firm?7. At times, long-term interest rates are lower than short-term rates, yet the discussion in the chapter suggests that long-term financing is more expensive. If long-term rates are lower, should the firm finance itself entirely with long-term debt?8. How does shortening the maturity composition of outstanding debt increase the firm’s risk? Why does increasing the liquidity of the firm’s assets reduce the risk?9. What are the costs of maintaining too large a level of working capital? Too small a level of working capital?10.

Suppose that a firm elected to tighten its trade credit policy from “2/10, net 90” to “2/3f0”. What effect could the firm expect this change to have on its liquidity?4. Why are accrued expenses a more spontaneous source of financing than trade credit from suppliers?5. Why is the rate on commercial paper usually less than the prime rate charged by bankers and more than the Treasury bill rate?6.
