Objectives of Investing

- Safety
- Income
- Capital Growth

For Script :

Safety, The money market also has really safe investments. Treasury bills (T-bills), certificates of deposit
(CDs), commercial paper, and bankers' acceptance slips are examples of these securities, in order of
increasing risk. There is a cost to safety. When compared to the possible returns of riskier investments,
the returns are quite low. This is known as "opportunity risk," and it means that those who chose the
safest assets may forego significant returns.
Income, Investors who focus on income may acquire some of the same fixed-income instruments that
are detailed above. Their priorities, however, change to money. They're seeking for investments that
provide a constant income supplement. And, in order to get there, they may be willing to take on a little
more risk. This is frequently the top objective for retirees who desire a consistent monthly income that
keeps up with inflation.

Capital Growth, Capital growth can only be achieved through selling an asset, according to the
definition. Stocks are a type of capital asset. In the absence of dividend payments, their owners must sell
them to realize profits. Many individual investors forgo picking equities and instead opt for one or more
exchange-traded funds or mutual funds, which can provide them with exposure to a diverse range of
securities. A favorable tax rate is one of the built-in benefits of stocks. If the stocks are held for at least a
year, profits from stock sales are taxed at the capital gains rate, which is lower than most people's
income tax rates.

Objectives of Financing

- Increase Revenue
- Increasing Profit Margin
- Financial Stability

For Script :

Increase Revenue, Because most organizations' major goal is to expand sales and bring in more revenue,
this is the most basic financial goal for any business. This is what makes companies successful and allows
them to expand. Businesses usually focus on percentages while setting this financial goal. Rather than
deciding on a certain cash figure to achieve, a company decides how much revenue it intends to
increase over a specific time period.

Increasing Profit Margin, Another common goal in finance is to raise sales profit margins. Profit margins
are the amounts made on each sale after expenses are deducted, whereas revenue is the total amount
of profit made by a company. Boosting profit margins is still about improving the business's success and
making it more profitable overall, but it does so through different means than increasing sales. However,
because expanding profit margins also contributes to growing revenue, these goals may overlap.

Financial Stability, Financial stability is to ensure that a company has enough cash to meet its
responsibilities and will be able to recover in the future. Collecting outstanding bills on schedule, paying
off obligations in full, and maintaining constant revenue levels are some specific approaches to achieve
this goal. This goal should not be as long-term as other goals, and once organizations have recovered
from their financial difficulties, they can shift their goals back to growth and revenue.
