List and describe the more important types of mutual funds according to theirinvestment policy and use.Answer: Some of the more important fund types, classified by investment policy, are: Money Market Funds - These funds invest in money market securities. They usually offer check-writing features and NAV is fixed at $1 per share, so that there are no tax implications associated with redemption of shares. They provide low risk, relativelylow return and high liquidity.Equity Funds - These funds invest primarily in stock, although they may hold othertypes of securities at the manager's discretion. They may also hold some money market securities to provide liquidity for share redemption. Typical objectives are capital gain, growth, growth and income, income, and income and security.Fixed-Income Funds - These funds specialize in fixed-income securities such ascorporate bonds, Treasury bonds, mortgage-backed securities or municipal bonds.These funds may specialize by maturity or credit risk as well.Balanced and Income Funds - These funds may substitute for an investor's entireportfolio. They hold a mix of fixed-income and equity securities. Income funds try to maintain safety of principal but achieve liberal current income, while balanced fundsseek to minimize risk.Asset Allocation Funds - These funds also hold both stocks and bonds, but vary the proportions in accord with the portfolio manager's forecast of the relative performance of each sector. These funds are engaged in market timing and are therefore higher risk.Index Funds - These funds try to match the performance of a broad market index. They buy shares in securities included in a particular index in proportion to the security'srepresentation in that index. Index funds are a low-cost way for small investors topursue a passive investment strategy.Specialized Sector Funds - These funds concentrate on a particular industry orindustries. Held alone, they are not well diversified and may be higher risk.The question is designed to test the student's knowledge of the various types of funds available and their suitability for different needs.Difficulty: Moderate56. Discuss the taxation of mutual fund income.Answer: Investment returns of mutual funds are granted "pass-through status" under the U.S. tax code, meaning that taxes are paid only by the investor in the mutual fund, not by the fund itself. The income is treated as passed through to the investor as long as all income is distributed to shareholders.Investors will pay taxes at the appropriate rate depending on the type of income. One drawback is that investors cannot time the sale of securities for maximum tax advantage, unless the funds are held in tax-deferred retirement accounts.The purpose of the question is to determine whether students understand the taxdifferences of owning mutual funds as compared to individual investments.Difficulty: Difficult57. What is an Exchange-traded fund? Give two examples of specific ETFs. What aresome advantages they have over ordinary open-end mutual funds? What are somedisadvantages?Answer: ETFs allow investors to trade index portfolios. Some examples are spiders (SPDR), which track the S&P500 index, diamonds (DIA), which track the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and qubes (QQQ), which track the NASDAQ 100 index. Other examples are listed in Table 4-3, page 117. (It is anticipated that there may soon be ETFs that track actively managed funds as well ad the current ones that track indexes.) Advantages -1.ETFs may be bought and sold during the trading day at prices that reflect the currentvalue of the underlying index. This is different from ordinary open-end mutualfunds, which are bought or sold only at the end of the day NAV.2.ETFs can be sold short.3.ETFs can be purchased on margin.4.ETFs may have tax advantages. Managers are not forced to sell securities from aportfolio to meet redemption demands, as they would be with open-end funds.Small investors simply sell their ETF shares to other traders without affecting thecomposition of the underlying portfolio. Institutional investors who want to selltheir shares receive shares of stock in the underlying portfolio.5.ETFs may be cheaper to buy than mutual funds because they are purchased frombrokers. The fund doesn't have to incur the costs of marketing itself, so the investor incurs lower management fees.Disadvantages -1.ETF prices can differ from NAV by small amounts because of the way they trade.This can lead to arbitrage opportunities for large traders.2.ETFs must be purchased from brokers for a fee. This makes them more expensivethan mutual funds that can be purchased at NAV.Difficulty: DifficultChapter 4 Mutual Funds and Other Investment Companies58. Discuss the consistency of mutual fund performance results, as studied by Goetzmannand Ibbotson (1994) and Malkiel (1995).Answer: Goetzmann and Ibbotson found that, of mutual funds that performed in the top half of their categories during an initial pe riod, 62% remained “winners” during thesubsequent two-year period. The other 38% became “losers”. Of the funds thatperformed in the bottom half of their categories during the initial period, 63.4%remained “losers” in the subsequent two-year period, wh ile 36.6% became “winners”.If performance were purely random, the percentages would be 50%. If performancewere due entirely to the skill of the managers, all winners should remain winners and all losers should remain losers. The results of the study indicate that there seems to besome skill involved in fund performance trends.Malkiel broke his study into two time periods. For the 1970s he found results similar to Goetzmann and Ibbotson. For the 1980s his percentages were much closer to 50%,which indicates that performance seemed to be more random during this period.Malkiel used one-year returns rather than two-year returns.Difficulty: Moderate88 Bodie, Investments, Sixth Edition。

Under straight voting, one share equals one vote. Thus, to ensure the election of onedirector you must hold a majority of the shares. Since two million shares areoutstanding, you must hold more than 1,000,000 shares to have a majority of votes.b. Cumulative voting is often more easily understood through a story. Remember thatyour goal is to elect one board member of the seven who will be chosen today.Suppose the firm has 28 shares outstanding. You own 4 of the shares and one otherperson owns the remaining 24 shares. Under cumulative voting, the total number ofvotes equals the number of shares times the number of directors being elected,(28)(7) = 196. Therefore, you have 28 votes and the other stockholder has 168 votes.Also, suppose the other shareholder does not wish to have your favorite candidateon the board. If that is true, the best you can do to try to ensure electing onemember is to place all of your votes on your favorite candidate. To keep yourcandidate off the board, the other shareholder must have enough votes to elect allseven members who will be chosen. If the other shareholder splits her votes evenlyacross her seven favorite candidates, then eight people, your one favorite and herseven favorites, will all have the same number of votes. There will be a tie! If shedoes not split her votes evenly (for example 29 28 28 28 28 28 27) then yourcandidate will win a seat. To avoid a tie and assure your candidate of victory, youmust have 29 votes which means you must own more than 4 shares.Notice what happened. If seven board members will be elected and you want to becertain that one of your favorite candidates will win, you must have more than one-eighth of the shares. That is, the percentage of the shares you must have to win ismore than1.(The num ber of m em bers being elected The num ber you w ant to select)Also notice that the number of shares you need does not change if more than oneperson owns the remaining shares. If several people owned the remaining 168shares they could form a coalition and vote together.Thus, in the Unicorn election, you will need more than 1/(7+1) = 12.5% of theshares to elect one board member. You will need more than (2,000,000) (0.125) =250,000 shares.Cumulative voting can be viewed more rigorously. Use the facts from the Unicornelection. Under cumulative voting, the total number of votes equals the number of公司理财习题答案第十四章shares times the number of directors being elected, 2,000,000 x 7 = 14,000,000. Let x be the number of shares you need. The number of shares necessary is7x14,000,0007x7x250,000.>-==>> You will need more than 250,000 shares.14.5 She can be certain to have one of her candidate friends be elected under the cumulativevoting rule. The lowest percentage of shares she needs to own to elect at least one out of 6candidates is higher than 1/7 = 14.3%. Her current ownership of 17.3% is more thanenough to ensure one seat. If the voting rule is staggered as described in the question, shewould need to own more than 1/4=25% of the shares to elect one out of the three candidatesfor certain. In this case, she will not have enough shares.14.6 a. You currently own 120 shares or 28.57% of the outstanding shares. You need to control 1/3 of the votes, which requires 140 shares. You need just over 20 additionalshares to elect yourself to the board.b. You need just over 25% of the shares, which is 250,000 shares. At $5 a share it willcost you $2,500,000 to guarantee yourself a seat on the board.14.7 The differences between preferred stock and debt are:a. The dividends of preferred stock cannot be deducted as interest expenses whendetermining taxable corporate income. From the individual investor’s point of view,preferred dividends are ordinary income for tax purposes. From corporate investors,80% of the amount they receive as dividends from preferred stock are exempt fromincome taxes.b. In liquidation, the seniority of preferred stock follows that of the debt and leads thatof the common stock.c. There is no legal obligation for firms to pay out preferred dividends as opposed tothe obligated payment of interest on bonds. Therefore, firms cannot be forced intodefault if a preferred stock dividend is not paid in a given year. Preferred dividendscan be cumulative or non-cumulative, and they can also be deferred indefinitely.14.8 Some firms can benefit from issuing preferred stock. The reasons can be:a. Public utilities can pass the tax disadvantage of issuing preferred stock on to theircustomers, so there is substantial amount of straight preferred stock issued byutilities.b. Firms reporting losses to the IRS already don’t have positive income for taxdeduction, so they are not affected by the tax disadvantage of dividend vs. interestpayment. They may be willing to issue preferred stock.c. Firms that issue preferred stock can avoid the threat of bankruptcy that exists withdebt financing because preferred dividends are not legal obligation as interestpayment on corporate debt.14.9 a. The return on non-convertible preferred stock is lower than the return on corporatebond for two reasons:i. Corporate investors receive 80% tax deductibility on dividends if they hold thestock. Therefore, they are willing to pay more for the stock; that lowers its return.ii. Issuing corporations are willing and able to offer higher returns on debt since theinterest on the debt reduces their tax liabilities. Preferred dividends are paid outof net income, hence they provide no tax shield.b. Corporate investors are the primary holders of preferred stock since, unlikeindividual investors, they can deduct 80% of the dividend when computing their taxliability. Therefore, they are willing to accept the lower return which the stockgenerates.14.10 The following table summarizes the main difference between debt and equity.Debt EquityRepayment is an obligation of the firm Yes NoGrants ownership of the firm No YesProvides a tax shield Yes NoLiquidation will result if not paid Yes NoCompanies often issue hybrid securities because of the potential tax shield and thebankruptcy advantage. If the IRS accepts the security as debt, the firm can use it as a tax shield. If the security maintains the bankruptcy and ownership advantages of equity, the firm has the best of both worlds.14.11 The trends in long-term financing in the United States were presented in the text. If CableCompany follows the trends, it will probably use 80% internal financing, net income of the project plus depreciation less dividends, and 20% external financing, long term debt and equity.。

书上例题比较重要,大家记得多多动手练练。
PS:书中课后例题不出,大家可以当习题练练~考试题型:1.单选题10分 2.判断题10分 3.证明题10分 4.计算分析题60分 5.论述题10分注:第13章没有答案第一章1.在所有权形式的公司中,股东是公司的所有者。
股东选举公司的董事会,董事会任命该公司的管理层。
企业的所有权和控制权分离的组织形式是导致的代理关系存在的主要原因。
管理者可能追求自身或别人的利益最大化,而不是股东的利益最大化。
在这种环境下,他们可能因为目标不一致而存在代理问题。
2.非营利公司经常追求社会或政治任务等各种目标。
非营利公司财务管理的目标是获取并有效使用资金以最大限度地实现组织的社会使命。
3.这句话是不正确的。
管理者实施财务管理的目标就是最大化现有股票的每股价值,当前的股票价值反映了短期和长期的风险、时间以及未来现金流量。
4.有两种结论。
一种极端,在市场经济中所有的东西都被定价。
因此所有目标都有一个最优水平,包括避免不道德或非法的行为,股票价值最大化。
另一种极端,我们可以认为这是非经济现象,最好的处理方式是通过政治手段。
一个经典的思考问题给出了这种争论的答案:公司估计提高某种产品安全性的成本是30美元万。
然而,该公司认为提高产品的安全性只会节省20美元万。
请问公司应该怎么做呢”5.财务管理的目标都是相同的,但实现目标的最好方式可能是不同的,因为不同的国家有不同的社会、政治环境和经济制度。
6.管理层的目标是最大化股东现有股票的每股价值。
如果管理层认为能提高公司利润,使股价超过35美元,那么他们应该展开对恶意收购的斗争。
如果管理层认为该投标人或其它未知的投标人将支付超过每股35美元的价格收购公司,那么他们也应该展开斗争。
然而,如果管理层不能增加企业的价值,并且没有其他更高的投标价格,那么管理层不是在为股东的最大化权益行事。
公司理财》习题参考答案
《公司理财》习题参考答案第1章公司理财导论★案例分析1.股东之间的利益(1)作为内部股东,其利益与外部股东未必一致。
(2)内部股东拥有信息优势。
他们可能运用这种信息优势做出有利于自己但伤害外部股东利益的行为,例如延期发布预亏信息。
2.企业组织的经营目标(1)相同点:公司理财学教授与市场营销学教授从各自的职业特征出发,表述了企业的经营目标。
不同点:公司理财学教授表达的是企业经营的最终目标,市场营销学教授表达的是实现企业经营最终目标的手段。
手段与目标本身并不一致。
也就是说,顾客满意了,企业价值未必最大化。
(2)如果公司理财学教授与市场营销学教授分别代表企业的财务部门与营销部门,可以通过“顾客给企业带来利润率”这个指标来协调其认识差异。
企业为什么要最大限度地满足顾客要求呢?其目的在于,通过最大限度地满足顾客要求来实现企业价值最大化。
然而,并不是所有满意的顾客都能够为企业创造价值。
对于这种顾客,企业为什么要最大限度地满足其要求呢?通过“顾客给企业带来利润率”这个指标来协调企业的财务部门与营销部门的认识差异的实践意义在于,它能够使企业财务部门与营销部门“讲同一种语言”。
财务部门具有营销理念,营销部门具有财务理念,从而构建“和谐企业”,引导企业走上“创造价值”的轨道上来。
3.会计学观念与公司理财观念(1)Toms公司不能得到价值补偿。
(2)会计学与公司理财学的差异在于会计学关注利润,而公司理财学关注现金流量。
4.整合四流,创造一流(1)企业组织应该设置预算管理委员会来沟通、协调及有效整合企业组织的物流、资金流、信息流和人力资源。
(2)某些企业组织的财务总监或会计人员委派制只解决了会计的监督职能,没有解决会计的辅助管理决策乃至战略制定职能。
(3)企业组织的财务经理人(包括会计经理人)主要体现企业组织的经营权范畴。
第2章公司理财环境★案例分析1.利率市场化(1)如果利率市场化,那么,资金的供求关系会影响利率,从而影响金融市场。

ESSAYSOPTION MODEL OF THE FIRM60. Explain the interpretation of equity ownership as being equivalent to owning a call optionon the assets of the firm.Equity is equal to asset minus liabilities. This relationship reflects the residual ownership feature of equity. Because of the limited liability feature of equity ownership in acorporation, the equity must always be non-negative in value, even if the debts of the firm exceed the value of the assets and the firm is in technical (if not outright) bankruptcy. Thus, the equity = max(A – D,0), which is akin to a call option on the assets of the firm with a strike price equal to the face value of the firm’s debt.OPTION MODEL OF THE FIRM61. Explain how option pricing theory can be used to argue that acquisitive firms pursuingconglomerate mergers are not acting in the shareholders’ best interest.Because equity can be viewed as a call option on the assets of the firm, the Black-Scholes option pricing model tells us that equity value will increase if the standard deviation of the firm’s assets increases. To the extent that conglomerate mergers create a more diversified business model for the acquiring firm, the standard deviation of the assets will actuallydecrease, which is counter to the shareholders’ interest in maximizing the value of the firm.The shareholders would prefer that managers seek out maximum risk in their businessactivities.此文档是由网络收集并进行重新排版整理.word可编辑版本!。

()答案:√2. 股票回购可以提高公司的每股收益。
()答案:√#### 三、简答题1. 简述公司理财中的资本结构理论。
答案:资本结构理论是关于公司如何决定其债务与权益融资比例的理论。
主要理论包括:- 传统理论:认为公司应选择使加权平均资本成本最低的资本结构。
- 现代资本结构理论:包括莫迪利亚尼-米勒定理,指出在没有税收和破产成本的情况下,公司的资本结构不影响其总价值。
- 权衡理论:认为公司在决定资本结构时,需要权衡债务融资的税收优势和破产成本。
2. 什么是现金流量表,它在公司理财中的作用是什么?答案:现金流量表是一份财务报表,记录了公司在一定时期内现金和现金等价物的流入和流出情况。
它的作用包括:- 显示公司的流动性状况,即短期内偿还债务的能力。
- 反映公司的经营、投资和融资活动对现金流的影响。
- 帮助投资者和管理层评估公司的长期财务健康状况。
#### 四、计算题1. 某公司计划进行一项投资,初始投资额为500万元,预期该项目的年现金流量为100万元,项目期限为5年。
假设公司的资本成本为10%,请计算该项目的净现值(NPV)。
答案:净现值(NPV)计算公式为:\[ NPV = \sum_{t=1}^{n} \frac{CF_t}{(1+WACC)^t} - I_0 \] 其中,\( CF_t \) 是第t年的现金流量,\( WACC \) 是加权平均资本成本,\( I_0 \) 是初始投资额。
根据题目数据,计算如下:\[ NPV = \frac{100}{(1+0.1)^1} + \frac{100}{(1+0.1)^2} +\frac{100}{(1+0.1)^3} + \frac{100}{(1+0.1)^4} +\frac{100}{(1+0.1)^5} - 500 \]\[ NPV = 90.909 + 82.645 + 75.133 + 68.355 + 62.289 - 500 \]\[ NPV = 379.371 - 500 = -120.629 \]该项目的净现值为负,表明按当前的资本成本,该项目不具有投资价值。
