MN10311Corporate Finance and Investment Appraisal or Finance
The Course Tutor • Mr A N Birts, ACT Cert ICM, BSc, MBA • WH 8.56 • mnsanb@management.bath.ac.uk • To obtain course outline, copies of overheads and seminar questions go to my personal website
Finance • What is the objective of the organisation? - Make a profit? - Supply goods and or services? - Provide employment? - Growth? - Customer care? - Environmental care?
Finance • All of these but for finance there is one objective and that is :- To Maximise Shareholder Wealth or Where no shareholders, an equivalent in terms of use of resources.
Finance • Maximising Shareholders Wealth means Maximising Share Price. • Current Share Price Should Reflect All Future Cash Flows Discounted At The Appropriate Discount Rate
Finance • Obstacles to maximising shareholders wealth. - Stakeholders * Directors * Managers * Workers * Customers * Suppliers What are their objectives?
Finance • How may these be controlled? - Non Executive Directors? - AGM? - Published Accounts? - Audit? - The Market?
Finance • Generalised Organisation Finance Director (the city!) Controller Accountant Treasurer Internal External Funding Management Reporting Risk Accounts, costing Bank relations
Finance • Simple Model of Value Cash Flow Cost of Capital = Current Value (Required Return)
Finance • Example Assume constant cash flow forever of 100,000 pa and required return of 10% (.10), then investor would be willing to pay today 100,000 = 1,000,000 .10
Finance • We may add value by increasing cash flow e.g. 120,000 = 1,200,000 .10 How would we do this:- as a company? as financial managers?
Finance • Or by reducing the required rate of return E.g. 100,000 = 1,250,000 .08 As financial managers how may we do this?
