13. Profit Maximization vs.
Wealth Maximization
Market economies achieve their goals when
businesses maximize their economic profits.
Economic Profit=
Revenue–Costs–Other Opportunity Costs
We expect firms to expand the production of
goods and services that provide positive
economic profits.
14. But some opine that profit maximization is vague.
– Short-run profitability or long-run profitability?
– Ignores the risk.
– Overlooks quality aspects of future activities (like
sales growth, quality improvement, new market)
– Sometimes it is unethical (e.g., exploiting labor or
customers, charging higher prices).
Profit Maximization vs.
Wealth Maximization
15. Wealth Maximization
Aims at maximizing the net worth of the
firm. It means the maximization of market
value of owners’ investment.
– maximizes the shareholders’ interest.
– socially responsible, helps society use scare
resources efficiently.
– ethical, does not hurt others’ interest.
Wealth maximization is translated into
maximization of stock price.
16. A Taka received tomorrow is not the
same as a Taka today.
Opportunity cost is the sacrifice of return
that could be attained from the best possible
alternative.

17. Discount Rate
The discount rate includes:
(a) Pure time value of money
(b) Premium for inflation
(c) Premium for risk

current goods and future goods.
Discount Rate
19. Discount Rate
Premium for Inflation
Compensation for the purchasing
power loss.
Premium for Risk
Compensation for the risk (chance
that the return may vary).
20. Use of Discount Rate:
Future Value = Present Value (1+k)t
k=Discount Rate, t=time
Say, Present value = Taka 100
Discount Rate = 10 %
Time = 2 years
Future value = 100 (1+0.10)2 = 121
Discount Rate
21. Discount Rate
Say, Future Value = Taka 400 after 5 years.
Discount Rate = 10 %
