Preface

viii Preface
Organizational Design
Fundamentals is organized in eight parts.
streams of cash flows and work through the valuation of perpetuities and annuities.
Chapter 5 also contains a short concluding section on inflation and the distinction
between real and nominal returns.
Chapters 6 and 7 introduce the basic features of bonds and stocks and give stu-
dents a chance to apply the ideas of Chapter 5 to the valuation of these securities.
We show how to find the value of a bond given its yield, and we show how prices
of bonds fluctuate as interest rates change. We look at what determines stock prices
and how stock valuation formulas can be used to infer the return that investors
expect. Finally, we see how investment opportunities are reflected in the stock price
and why analysts focus on the price-earnings multiple. Chapter 7 also introduces
the concept of market efficiency. This concept is crucial to interpreting a stock’s
valuation; it also provides a framework for the later treatment of the issues that
arise when firms issue securities or make decisions concerning dividends or capital
structure.
The remaining chapters of Part 2 are concerned with the company’s investment
decision. In Chapter 8, we introduce the concept of net present value and show how
to calculate the NPV of a simple investment project. We then consider more complex
investment proposals, including choices between alternative projects, machine replace-
ment decisions, and decisions of when to invest. We also look at other measures of an
investment’s attractiveness—its internal rate of return, profitability index, and payback
period. We show how the profitability index can be used to choose between invest-
ment projects when capital is scarce. The appendix to Chapter 8 shows how to sidestep
some of the pitfalls of the IRR rule.
The first step in any NPV calculation is to decide what to discount. Therefore, in
Chapter 9, we work through a realistic example of a capital budgeting analysis, show-
ing how the manager needs to recognize the investment in working capital and how
taxes and depreciation affect cash flows.
We start Chapter 10 by looking at how companies organize the investment
process and ensure everyone works toward a common goal. We then go on to
look at various techniques to help managers identify the key assumptions in their
estimates, such as sensitivity analysis, scenario analysis, and break-even analysis.
We explain the distinction between accounting break-even and NPV break-even.
We conclude the chapter by describing how managers try to build future flexibil-
ity into projects so that they can capitalize on good luck and mitigate the conse-
quences of bad luck.
Part 3 (Risk) is concerned with the cost of capital. Chapter 11 starts with a historical
survey of returns on bonds and stocks and goes on to distinguish between the specific
risk and market risk of individual stocks. Chapter 12 shows how to measure market
risk and discusses the relationship between risk and expected return. Chapter 13 intro-
duces the weighted-average cost of capital and provides a practical illustration of how
to estimate it.
Part 4 (Financing) begins our discussion of the financing decision. Chapter 14 pro-
vides an overview of the securities that firms issue and their relative importance as
sources of finance. In Chapter 15, we look at how firms issue securities, and we follow
a firm from its first need for venture capital, through its initial public offering, to its
continuing need to raise debt or equity.
Part 5 (Debt and Payout Policy) focuses on the two classic long-term financ-
ing decisions. In Chapter 16, we ask how much the firm should borrow, and we
summarize bankruptcy procedures that occur when firms can’t pay their debts. In
x Preface
Chapter 17, we study how firms should set dividend and payout policy. In each
case, we start with Modigliani and Miller’s (MM’s) observation that in well-
functioning markets, the decision should not matter, but we use this initial obser-
vation to help the reader understand why financial managers in practice do pay
attention to these decisions.
Part 6 (Financial Analysis and Planning) starts with long-term financial plan-
ning in Chapter 18, where we look at how the financial manager considers the com-
bined effects of investment and financing decisions on the firm as a whole. We also
show how measures of internal and sustainable growth help managers check that
the firm’s planned growth is consistent with its financing plans. Chapter 19 is an
introduction to short-term financial planning. It shows how managers ensure that
the firm will have enough cash to pay its bills over the coming year. Chapter 20
addresses working capital management. It describes the basic steps of credit man-
agement, the principles of inventory management, and how firms handle payments
efficiently and put cash to work as quickly as possible. It also describes how firms
invest temporary surpluses of cash and how they can borrow to offset any temporary
deficiency. Chapter 20 is conceptually straightforward, but it contains a large dollop
of institutional material.
Part 7 (Special Topics) covers several important but somewhat more advanced
t opics—mergers (Chapter 21), international financial management (Chapter 22),
options (Chapter 23), and risk management (Chapter 24). Some of these topics
are touched on in earlier chapters. For example, we introduce the idea of options
in Chapter 10, when we show how companies build flexibility into capital proj-
ects. However, Chapter 23 generalizes this material, explains at an elementary
level how options are valued, and provides some examples of why the financial
manager needs to be concerned about options. International finance is also not
confined to Chapter 22. As one might expect from a book that is written by
an international group of authors, examples from different countries and finan-
cial systems are scattered throughout the book. However, Chapter 22 tackles
the specific problems that arise when a corporation is confronted by different
currencies.
many instructors prefer to reverse our order. There should be no difficulty in taking
Chapter 20 out of order.
When we discuss project valuation in Part 2, we stress that the opportunity cost of
capital depends on project risk. But we do not discuss how to measure risk or how
return and risk are linked until Part 3. This ordering can easily be modified. For exam-
ple, the chapters on risk and return can be introduced before, after, or midway through
the material on project valuation.
Beyond the Page The Beyond the Page digital extensions and applications provide
additional examples, anecdotes, spreadsheet programs, and more thoroughgoing
explanations of some topics. This material is very easily accessed on the web. In this
edition, we have updated them and added a number of additional applications and
made them easier to access. For example, the applications are seamlessly available
with a click on the e-version of the book, but they are also readily accessible in the
traditional hard copy of the text using the shortcut URLs provided in the margins of
relevant pages.
Improving the Flow A major part of our effort in revising this text was spent on
improving the flow. Often this has meant a word change here or a redrawn diagram
there, but sometimes we have made more substantial changes. One example is the dis-
cussion of discounted cash flow analysis in Chapter 9. Rather than presenting a series
of disconnected examples, we now illustrate the many aspects of cash flow analysis in
one integrated application. The material is substantially unchanged, but we think that
the flow is much improved.
Updating Major updates in this edition revolved around the implications of recent
tax reform legislation. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 mandated substantial
changes in corporate and personal tax rates as well as in the tax treatment of depre-
ciation and investment income. All of these changes potentially affect firms’ capital
budgeting and financing decisions.
Of course, in each new edition we also try to ensure that any statistics are as up to
date as possible. For example, since the previous edition, we have available an extra
2 years of data on security returns. These show up in the figures in Chapter 11 of
the long-run returns on stocks, bonds, and bills. Measures of EVA, data on security
ownership, dividend payments, and stock repurchases are just a few of the other cases
where data have been brought up to date.
New Illustrative Boxes The text contains a number of boxes with illustra-
tive real-world examples. Many of these are new. Look, for example, at the
box in Chapter 2 that describes prediction markets and what they had to
say about the 2016 presidential election. Or look at the box in Chapter 15 that
shows how the JOBS Act of 2012 cleared the way for companies to use crowd-
funding to raise up to $50 million from small investors who wish to invest in
start-up firms.
xii Preface
More Worked Examples We have added more worked examples in the text, many of
them taken from real companies.
Assurance of Learning
Assurance of learning is an important element of many accreditation standards.
Fundamentals of Corporate Finance, Tenth Edition, is designed specifically to sup-
port your assurance-of-learning initiatives. Each chapter in the book begins with
a list of numbered learning objectives, which are referred to in the end-of-chap-
ter problems and exercises. Every test bank question is also linked to one of these
objectives, in addition to level of difficulty, topic area, Bloom’s Taxonomy level, and
AACSB skill area. Connect, McGraw-Hill’s online homework solution, and EZ Test,
McGraw-Hill’s easy-to-use test bank software, can search the test bank by these and
other categories, providing an engine for targeted assurance-of-learning analysis
and assessment.
AACSB Statement
McGraw-Hill Education is a proud corporate member of AACSB International.
Understanding the importance and value of AACSB accreditation, Fundamentals of
Corporate Finance, Tenth Edition, has sought to recognize the curricula guidelines
detailed in the AACSB standards for business accreditation by connecting selected
questions in the test bank to the general knowledge and skill guidelines found in the
AACSB standards.

and clicking on Markets, Market Data, and then Rates. Try plotting the yields on stripped cou-
pons against maturity. Do they currently increase or decline with maturity? Can you explain
why? You can also use The Wall Street Journal site to compare the yields on nominal Treasury
bonds with those on TIPS. Suppose that you are confident that inflation will be 3% per year.
Which bonds are the better buy?
3. In Figure 6.9, we showed how bonds with greater credit risk have promised higher yields to
maturity. This yield spread goes up when the economic outlook is particularly uncertain. You can
check how much extra yield lower-grade bonds offer today by logging on to the Federal Reserve
Economic Database (FRED) at the St. Louis Fed website (fred.stlouisfed.org). Search for
Corporate Bonds and compare the yields on Aaa and Baa bonds. How does the current spread
in yields compare with the spread in November 2008 at the height of the financial crisis?

— Suokaa anteeksi…
Mitja seisoi yhä ja katseli jäykästi ja liikkumattomana, ja huomasi
yhtäkkiä, että jotakin liikahti ukon kasvoissa. Hän vavahti.
— Hän ei ole täkäläinen, se mies, eikä häntä nyt täällä ole. Hän
tekee talonpoikien kanssa metsäkauppoja, on nimeltään Ljagavyi. Jo
vuoden verran hän on hieronut Fjodor Pavlovitšin kanssa kauppaa
tuosta lehdostanne Tšermašnjassa, mutta eivät sovi hinnasta, olette
kukaties kuullut. Nyt hän on taas tullut ja asustaa nyt pappi Iljinskin
luona, Volovjan kievarista lienee sinne noin kaksitoista virstaa,
Iljinskin kylässä. Hän on kirjoittanut tänne minullekin tästä asiasta,
nimittäin tästä metsiköstä, pyysi neuvoa. Fjodor Pavlovitš aikoo itse
mennä hänen luokseen. Niin että jos te ennättäisitte ennen Fjodor
Pavlovitšia ja esittäisitte Ljagavyille samaa, mitä puhuitte minulle,
niin kenties syntyy hänen kanssaan kaupat…
— Ei kestä kiittää.
— Jaa-hah.

Ljagavyi
Piti siis lähteä »laukkaamaan», mutta rahoja hevosten tilaamiseen
ei ollut kopeekkaakaan, t.s., oli kaksi kaksikymmenkopeekkaista,
mutta siinä olikin kaikki, kaikki, mitä oli jäänyt niin monien vuosien
entisestä omaisuudesta! Mutta hänellä oli kotona vanha hopeainen
kello, joka jo kauan sitten oli lakannut käymästä. Hän sieppasi sen ja
vei juutalaiselle kellosepälle, jolla oli pieni kauppa markkinapaikalla.
Tämä antoi hänelle siitä kuusi ruplaa. »En odottanut saavani
niinkään paljoa!» huudahti ihastunut Mitja (hän oli yhä edelleen
ihastuksissaan), kaappasi kuusi ruplaansa ja juoksi kotiinsa. Kotona
hän täydensi rahamääräänsä lainaamalla isäntäväeltään kolme
ruplaa, minkä nämä antoivat hänelle mielellään, vaikka ne olivatkin
heidän viimeiset rahansa, niin paljon he hänestä pitivät.
Innostuksensa tilassa Mitja samassa ilmoitti heille, että hänen
kohtalonsa nyt ratkaistaan, ja kertoi heille, hyvin kiireesti tietenkin,
melkein koko »suunnitelmansa», jonka hän äsken juuri oli esittänyt
Samsonoville, sekä Samsonovin antaman ratkaisun, tulevat
toiveensa ym. Isäntäväelleen hän oli ennenkin uskonut monta
salaisuuttaan, ja senvuoksi nämä pitivätkin häntä omana ihmisenä
eikä ollenkaan ylpeänä herrana. Saatuaan tällä tavoin kokoon
yhdeksän ruplaa Mitja lähetti tilaamaan kyytihevoset Volovjan
majataloon. Mutta tällä lailla painui mieliin ja tuli pannuksi merkille se
tosiasia, että »erään tapahtuman edellisenä päivänä Mitjalla ei ollut
kopeekkaakaan ja että hän saadakseen rahoja möi kellonsa ja
lainasi isäntäväeltään kolme ruplaa, kaikki todistajain läsnäollessa».
— Ei, tiedätkö, mitä sinun pitää minulle näyttää: näytä sinä minulle
sellainen laki, että on lupa laitella vahinkoja, kuuletko! Sinä olet
konna, ymmärrätkö sen?

Tämä oli juuri se Mitjan käynti, josta Grušenjka oli niin peläten
kertonut Rakitinille. Grušenjka odotteli silloin »pikalähettiään» ja oli
hyvin iloissaan siitä, että Mitja ei ollut käynyt edellisenä eikä sinä
päivänä, sekä toivoi, että hän, jos Jumala suo, ei tule ennen hänen
lähtöään, mutta silloin oli Mitja äkkiä tullutkin. Jatkon me tiedämme:
päästäkseen hänestä eroon oli Grušenjka heti pyytänyt häntä
saattamaan häntä Kuzjma Samsonovin luo, jonne Grušenjkan muka
välttämättömästi oli mentävä »rahoja laskemaan», ja kun Mitja oli
hänet sinne saattanut, niin hyvästellessään häntä Kuzjman portilla oli
Grušenjka ottanut häneltä lupauksen, että Mitja tulisi häntä
hakemaan kellon käydessä kahtatoista saattaakseen hänet takaisin
kotiin. Mitja oli iloissaankin tästä asiain järjestymisestä: »Hän istuu
Kuzjman luona, ei mene siis Fjodor Pavlovitšin luo… jollei hän vain
valehtele», lisäsi hän samassa. Mutta hänestä näytti, että Grušenjka
ei ollut valehdellut. Hänen mustasukkaisuutensa oli juuri sitä laatua,
että ollessaan erillään rakastamastaan naisesta hän kuvitteli heti
Jumala ties mitä kauheita asioita siitä, mitä naiselle tapahtuu ja
miten tämä siellä »pettää» häntä, mutta juostuaan taas naisen luo
järkytettynä, masentuneena, täysin vakuutettuna, että tämä on
ennättänyt olla hänelle uskoton, hän heti katsahdettuaan tämän
kasvoihin, tämän naisen nauraviin, iloisiin ja ystävällisiin kasvoihin,
tuossa tuokiossa reipastui mieleltään, lakkasi heti paikalla
epäilemästä ja iloisesti häveten soimasi itse itseään
mustasukkaisuudestaan. Saatettuaan Grušenjkan hän riensi
kotiinsa. Oi, hänen piti ennättää vielä toimittaa niin paljon tänään!
Mutta ainakin oli taakka sydämeltä pudonnut. »Pitäisi vain pian
saada tietää Smerdjakovilta, eikö siellä ole tapahtunut mitään eilen
illalla, eikö Grušenjka, mene tiedä, ole käynyt Fjodor Pavlovitšin
luona, uh!» välähti hänen päässään. Niin että hän ei ollut ennättänyt
vielä juosta asuntoonsa, kun mustasukkaisuus jo taas oli alkanut
liikahdella hänen rauhattomassa sydämessään.
