25. Goal in a For-Profit Business

represent shareholders, the owners.
• Goal is to make money for the shareholders.
• Shareholders are better off when the value of
the stock is high.
• Maximize the current price per share of the
firm’s existing stock.
• Managers should maximize the value of
the firm’s equity!
28
27. Maximize Value of Equity
• When the shares are privately held, the goal is
to maximize the owner’s equity.
• When equity is traded on the market, then the
goal is to maximize the stock price.

business decisions and the value of the equity.

debt and equity) (WACC)

shortage

31. Agency Problems

shareholders (principals) and management
of a firm (agents)
• Agency costs are defined as the costs from
these conflicts of interest.

46. Financial statements
• Financial statements are records that give an
overview of an entity’s financial status.
• Key financial statements:
– Balance Sheet
– Income Statement
– Statement of Cash Flow
– Notes to the financial statements
47. Financial statements
Providing managers and decision makers
answers to two key questions:
• What is the financial picture of the organization
on a given day?
• How well did the organization do during a given
period?
48. Balance sheet: introduction
Balance sheet….
o A document designed to show the state of affairs of an
entity at a particular date.
o Reduced to its simplest….a balance sheet consists of
two lists: list of resources and list of sources.
49. Balance sheet: introduction
The list of the resources
o Resources (means) that are under the control of the
entity – it is a list of assets.
Asset is derived from the Latin ad satis (to sufficient)
An asset is a resource controlled by the entity as a
result of past events and from which future economic
benefits are expected to flow to the entity.
50. Balance sheet: introduction
The list of the sources
o The assets must have come from somewhere.
o The list of sources shows where the assets came from
– the monetary amounts of the sources from which the
entity obtained its present stock of resources.
o These sources require repayments or recompense in
some way….so they can also be called claims.
52. Balance sheet: introduction
List of sources (where everything came from)
List of resources (everything valuable that the business
controls)
Both lists relate to the same business at the same point in
time: the total of each list must be equal and the balance
sheet must balance.
53. The simple balance sheet
■ Separation of the Entity from the Owner
o When a new business entity is created, the starting
point is that there is no balance sheet.
o Balance sheet is created for the entity when Cash
is put in the entity.
o Separation is necessary to avoid affairs of the
owner and the business to be tangled up.
o Cash (resource) put in the entity by the owner will
balance against the list of sources and is called
Capital.
55. Balance sheet transactions
• Just as the balance sheet equation must always
balance, the balance sheet must also always
balance.
• A balance sheet could be prepared after every
transaction, but this practice would be awkward
and unnecessary.
– Therefore, balance sheets are usually prepared
monthly or on some other periodic schedule.
58. Simple balance sheet – book example
o The claims from third parties (outsiders other than the
owner), can be called liabilities.
59. Liabilities
Liabilities
o In this example: Loan and Payable account.
o English word derived from the word ‘liable’, meaning
tied or bound or obliged by law.
o A liability is a negative version of an asset.
60. Equity
o Claims by the owner are not called liabilities, but owner’s
equity (or various similar expressions).
o Equity in the accounting context means the owner’s
stake in the entity.
o In the simple balance sheet example the equity of the
entity is € 116,000 (capital + profit).
62. Income statement
o The balance sheet shows resources and claims at a
particular moment in time.
o However it is not practical to provide insights in the
business operations.
o Information about the results of operating activities of an
entity can be best presented in an income statement.
o Operating activities result in revenues (making sales) or in
expenses (consumption of business resources).
63. Income statement
o The income statement uses the following definitions:
o Revenues – incoming receipts in return for sold goods or
services
o Expenses – sacrificed resources to support the business
operations
64. Income statement
Important note!
o The income statement (also called profit and loss
account) reports on the flows of revenues and expenses
of a period.
o The balance sheet reports on the financial position at the
balance sheet date.
65. Preparing the income statement
• Reworking transactions used in previous example.
• Examining resources and claims:
Resources fall into two types:
• Those used up in the period (expenses); and
• Those remaining (assets).
Claims can be seen to fall into three types:
• Those arising from operations in the period (revenues);
• Those contributed by the owners (capital); and
• Those due to outsiders (liabilities).
