CONTENTS:
Financial resources – funds of a business which are provided by the owner of by the creditors. The
source of fund is considered long-term when the repayment period is more than one year
notwithstanding the normal operating cycle of the business. However, in this discussion, long-term
connotes a term of five years or more. A term of more than one year but not more than five years is
referred to as medium-term.
Trust Fund Doctrine – requires that funds provided by the stockholders protect the interest of the
creditors.
Financial Leverage – means the business has more funds like bonds and long term bank borrowings
coming from long-term creditors in the capital structure.
Debt-free of unlevered capital structure – indicates that the owners provide almost all financial
requirements of the business, both the working capital needs and the fixed assets requirements.
2. Firm’s tax position – When the firm’s fixed assets are financed by bonds or long-term bank
borrowings, the interest payments will lower the net income, thereby lowering the income tax.
But if this continue, the payment of interests may eat up the operating income of the business.
3. Financial flexibility – refers to the ability of the business to raise long-term funds when needed.
4. Managerial Inclination – Different perspective of managers as to sourcing funds. Some
managers are risk-takers and prefer to use long-term debts to finance the fixed assets of the
business. This will require a high rate of return coupled with a high financial risk.
b) Preference (preferred) shares – shares of stocks in which the holder enjoys higher preference or
rights over the holder of an ordinary share in terms of distribution of dividends and assets in case
of corporate dissolution and liquidation.
c) Ordinary (common) shares - shares of stocks in which the holder does not enjoy preference as
to distribution of dividends and assets. Ordinary shareholders on the other hand have the right
to vote during stockholders’ meeting.
d) Retained earnings – the accumulated profits, losses, and adjustments of a corporation. The
retained earnings is composed of the unappropriated portion (unrestricted) and appropriated
portion (restricted).
Cost of capital – the minimum or lowest acceptable rate of return that the business may earn from
alternative investments. The formula to calculate cost of capital are:

𝑲𝒊 = . 𝟏𝟎 (𝟏−. 𝟑𝟎)
= .07 or 7%
(₱𝟐𝟎𝟎 𝒙 . 𝟏𝟎)
𝑲𝑷 =
(₱𝟐𝟓𝟎 − ₱𝟎)
= .08 or 8%
