3. a. Financial jassets, jsuch jas jstocks jor jbank jloans, jare jclaims jheld jby jinvestors.
jCorporations jsell jfinancial jassets jto jraise jthe jcash jto jinvest jin jreal jassets jsuch jas
jplantjand jequipment. jSome jreal jassets jare jintangible.

b. Capital jexpenditure jmeans jinvestment jin jreal jassets. jFinancing jmeans jraising jthe

,4. Items jc jand jd japply jto jcorporations. jBecause jcorporations jhave jperpetual jlife, jownership jcan
jbejtransferred jwithout jaffecting joperations, jand jmanagers jcan jbe jfired jwith jno jeffect jon
jownership. jOther jforms jof jbusiness jmay jhave junlimited jliability jand jlimited jlife.

5. Separation jof jownership jfacilitates jthe jkey jattributes jof ja jcorporation, jincluding j limited jliability
jforjinvestors, jtransferability jof jownership, ja jseparate jlegal jpersonality jof jthe jcorporation, jand
jdelegated jcentralized jmanagement. jThese jfour jattributes jprovide jsubstantial jbenefit jfor
jinvestors, jincluding jthe j ability jto jdiversify jtheir jinvestment jamong jmany juncorrelated
jreturns—a jvery jvaluable jtool jexplored jin jlater jchapters. jAlso, jthese jattributes jallow jinvestors
jto jquickly jexit,jenter, jor jshort jsell jan jinvestment, jthereby jgenerating jan jactive jliquid jmarket
jfor jcorporations.

However, jthese jpositive jaspects jalso jintroduce jsubstantial jnegative jexternalities jas jwell. j The
jseparation jof jownership jfrom jmanagement jtypically jleads jto jagency jproblems, jwhere
jmanagersjprefer jto jconsume jprivate jperks jor jmake jother jdecisions jfor jtheir jprivate jbenefit—
rather jthan jmaximize jshareholder jwealth. jShareholders jtend jto jexercise jless joversight jof
jeach jindividual jinvestment jas jtheir jdiversification jincreases. jFinally, jthe jcorporation‘s
jseparate jlegal jpersonalityjmakes jit jdifficult jto jenforce jaccountability jif jthey jexternalize jcosts
jonto jsociety.

6. Shareholders jwill jonly jvote jto jmaximize jshareholder jwealth. jShareholders jcan jmodify
jtheir jpattern jof jconsumption jthrough jborrowing jand jlending, jmatch jrisk jpreferences, jand
jhopefullyjbalance jtheir jown jcheckbooks j(or jhire ja jqualified jprofessional jto jhelp jthem jwith
jthese jtasks).
Est jtime: j01-05



7. If jthe jinvestment jincreases jthe jfirm‘s jwealth, jit jincreases jthe jfirm‘s jshare jvalue. jMs.
jEspinozajcould jthen jsell jsome jor jall jthese jmore jvaluable jshares jto jprovide jfor jher
jretirement jincome.

8. a. Assuming jthat jthe jencabulator jmarket jis jrisky, jan j8% jexpected jreturn
jonjthe jF&H jencabulator jinvestments jmay jbe jinferior jto ja j4% jreturn
jon jU.S.
government jsecurities, jdepending jon jthe jrelative jrisk jbetween jthe jtwo jassets.

b. Unless jthe jfinancial jassets jare jas jsafe jas jU.S. jgovernment jsecurities, jtheir jcost jof
jcapitaljwould jbe jhigher. jThe jCFO jcould jconsider jexpected jreturns jon jassets jwith
jsimilar jrisk.

9. Managers jwould jact jin jshareholders‘ jinterests jbecause jthey jhave ja jlegal jduty jto jact jin jtheir
jinterests. j Managers jmay jalso jreceive jcompensation— jbonuses, jstock, jand joption jpayouts
j with jvalue jtied j(roughly) jto jfirm jperformance. jManagers jmay jfear jpersonal jreputational
jdamage jfrom jnot jacting jin jshareholders‘ jinterests. jAnd jmanagers jcan jbe jfired jby jthe jboard
jof jdirectors j(electedjby jshareholders). j If jmanagers jstill jfail jto jact jin jshareholders‘ jinterests,
