BUSN 5200 Week 1 Homework
1.
Describe the field of finance. How is it different from the field of
accounting?
2. In a
typical corporation the finance function is divided into two divisions, or
departments. What are they? What does each department do?
3. What
are the three forms of business generally encountered in the US? What are the
main defining characteristics of each?
4. What
is the basic financial goal of a business?
5. In
the context of a corporation seeking to maximize the wealth of its owners, how
is “wealth” defined?
6. What
are the three main factors affecting the market price of a corporation’s stock?
7.
What’s wrong (if anything) with saying the basic financial goal of a business
is to “maximize profits?”
8. How
would you state the basic goal of a non-profit firm?
9. The
Internet company Google managed to avoid $2 billion in international income
taxes in 2011 by moving a hefty sum of its revenues to subsidiaries in Bermuda,
according to CNBC, which cited a report by Bloomberg. The search giant
reportedly stashed $9.8 billion in revenues to its shell company in Bermuda —
which doesn’t have a corporate income tax — last year allowing the company to
shave its overall tax rate by almost 50 percent. Google’s Bermuda move was
disclosed in a Nov. 21 filing by a subsidiary in the Netherlands. While the
company’s move to shift funds to the country was legal, it could spur the
growing global criticism of corporate tax avoidance. What do you think? Is
Google’s action ethical? Why or why not?
10.
What is “the agency problem?”
