1. Chapter TF, Section .01, Problem 003
The board of directors is the highest ranking body in a corporation, and the chairman of the board is the highest ranking individual. The CEO generally works under the board and its chairman, and the board generally has the authority to remove the CEO under certain conditions. The CEO, however, cannot remove the board, but he or she can endeavor to have the board voted out and a new board voted in should a conflict arise. It is possible for a person to simultaneously serve as CEO and chairman of the board, though many corporate control experts believe it is bad to vest both offices in the same person. |

Partnerships and proprietorships generally have a tax advantage over corporations. |
3. Chapter TF, Section .01, Problem 005
A disadvantage of the corporate form of organization is that corporate stockholders are more exposed to personal liabilities in the event of bankruptcy than are investors in a typical partnership. |

5. Chapter TF, Section .01, Problem 014
The more capital a firm is likely to require, the greater the probability that it will be organized as a corporation. |
6. Chapter TF, Section .01, Problem 016
Organizing as a corporation makes it easier for the firm to raise capital. This is because corporations' stockholders are not subject to personal liabilities if the firm goes bankrupt and also because it is easier to transfer shares of stock than partnership interests. |
7. Chapter TF, Section .01, Problem 017

Correct.
Sinking funds are provisions
included in bond indentures that require companies to retire bonds on a
scheduled basis prior to their final maturity. Many indentures allow the
company to acquire bonds for sinking fund purposes by either (1) purchasing
bonds on the open market at the going market price or (2) selecting the bonds
to be called by a lottery administered by the trustee, in which case the
price paid is the bond's face value.

A bond has a $1,000 par value,
makes annual interest payments of $100, has 5 years to maturity, cannot be
called, and is not expected to default. The bond should sell at a premium if
market interest rates are below 10% and at a discount if
interest rates are greater than 10%.

There is an inverse relationship
between bonds' quality ratings and their required rates of return. Thus, the
required return is lowest for AAA-rated bonds, and required returns increase
as the ratings get lower.

Three $1,000 face value, 10-year, noncallable,
bonds have the same amount of risk, hence their YTMs are equal. Bond 8 has an
8% annual coupon, Bond 10 has a 10% annual coupon, and Bond 12 has a 12% annual
coupon. Bond 10 sells at par. Assuming that interest rates remain constant for
the next 10 years, which of the following statements is CORRECT?

3. Chapter TF, Section .01, Problem 005
A disadvantage of the corporate form of organization is that corporate stockholders are more exposed to personal liabilities in the event of bankruptcy than are investors in a typical partnership. |
4. Chapter TF, Section .01, Problem 001
In most corporations, the CFO ranks under the CEO. |
5. Chapter TF, Section .01, Problem 014
The more capital a firm is likely to require, the greater the probability that it will be organized as a corporation. |
6. Chapter TF, Section .01, Problem 016
Organizing as a corporation makes it easier for the firm to raise capital. This is because corporations' stockholders are not subject to personal liabilities if the firm goes bankrupt and also because it is easier to transfer shares of stock than partnership interests. |
7. Chapter TF, Section .01, Problem 017
In order to maximize its shareholders' value, a firm's management must attempt to maximize the stock price in the long run, or the stock's "intrinsic value." |
8. Chapter TF, Section .01, Problem 023
A stock's market price would equal its intrinsic value if all investors had all the information that is available about the stock. In this case the stock's market price would equal its intrinsic value. |
9. Chapter TF, Section .01, Problem 026
For a stock to be in equilibrium as the book defines it, its market price should exceed its intrinsic value. |
10. Chapter MC, Section .01, Problem 046
1. Chapter TF, Section .03, Problem 001
The annual report contains four basic financial statements: the income statement, the balance sheet, the cash flow statement, and the statement of stockholders' equity. |
2. Chapter TF, Section .03, Problem 004
On the balance sheet, total assets must always equal the sum of total liabilities and equity. |
3. Chapter TF, Section .03, Problem 007
The income statement shows the difference between a firm's income and its costs—i.e., its profits—during a specified period of time. However, not all reported income comes in the form of cash, and reported costs likewise may not be consistent with cash outlays. Therefore, there may be a substantial difference between a firm's reported profits and its actual cash flow for the same period. |
4. Chapter TF, Section .03, Problem 008
The balance sheet represents a snapshot in time, whereas the income statement reports on operations over a period of time. |
5. Chapter TF, Section .03, Problem 009
EBIT, often referred to as operating income, stands for "earnings before interest and taxes." |
6. Chapter TF, Section .03, Problem 011
Consider the following balance sheet for Games Inc. Because Games has $800,000 of retained earnings, we know that the company would be able to pay cash to buy an asset with a cost of $200,000.
|
7. Chapter TF, Section .03, Problem 014
The value of any asset is the present value of the cash flows the asset is expected to provide. The cash flows a business is able to provide to its investors is its free cash flow. This is the reason that FCF is so important in finance. |
8. Chapter TF, Section .03, Problem 012
Typically, the statement of stockholders' equity starts with total stockholders' equity at the beginning of the year, adds net income, subtracts dividends paid, and ends with total stockholders' equity at the end of the year. Over time, a profitable company will have earnings in excess of the dividends it pays out, resulting in a substantial amount of retained earnings shown on the balance sheet. |
9. Chapter TF, Section .03, Problem 018
The balance sheet measures the flow of funds into and out of various accounts over time, while the income statement measures the firm's financial position at a point in time. |
10. Chapter TF, Section .03, Problem 026
To estimate the cash flow from operations, depreciation must be added back to net income because depreciation is a non-cash charge that has been deducted from revenue in the net income calculation. |
T-bond = 7.72% A = 9.64%
AAA = 8.72% BBB = 10.18%
The differences in rates among these issues were most probably caused primarily by:
The price sensitivity of a bond to a given change in interest rates is generally greater the longer the bond's remaining maturity. |
A call provision gives bondholders the right to demand, or "call for," repayment of a bond. Typically, companies call bonds if interest rates rise and do not call them if interest rates decline. |
Because short-term interest rates are much more volatile than long-term rates, you would, in the real world, generally be subject to much more price risk if you purchased a 30-day bond than if you bought a 30-year bond. |
