FIVE FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES OF FINANCE
1. Cash flow is what matters2. Money has a time value3. Risk requires a reward4. Market prices are generally right5. Conflicts of interest cause agency problems
![Page 5: Finance](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/54545a45af7959564f8b55c1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Principle 1: Cash flow is what matters
Accounting profits are not equal to cash flows. It is possible for a firm to generate accounting profits but not have cash or to generate cash flows but not report accounting profits in the books.
Cash flow, and not profits, drive the value of a business.
We must determine incremental cash flows when making financial decisions. Incremental cash flow is the difference between
the projected cash flows if the project is selected, versus what they will be, if the project is not selected.

Principle 2:Money has a time value
A dollar received today is worth more than a dollar received in the future. Since we can earn interest on money received
today, it is better to receive money earlier rather than later.

Principle 3:Risk requires a reward
We won’t take on additional risk unless we expect to be compensated with additional reward or return.
Investors expect to be compensated for “delaying consumption” and “taking on risk”. Thus investors expect a return when they put their savings in a
bank (i.e. delay consumption) and they expect to earn a higher rate of return on stocks relative to bank savings account (i.e. taking on risk)

Principle 4: Market prices are generally right
In an efficient market, the prices of all traded assets (such as stocks and bonds) at any instant in time fully reflect all available information.
Thus stock prices are a useful indicator of the value of the firm. Prices changes reflect changes in expected future cash flows. Good decisions will tend to increase the stock prices and vice versa.
Note there are inefficiencies in the market that may distort the prices.

Principle 5: Conflicts of interest cause agency problems
The separation of management and the ownership of the firm creates an agency problem. Managers may make decisions that are not consistent with the goal of maximizing shareholder wealth.
Agency conflict is reduced through monitoring (ex. Annual reports), compensation schemes (ex. stock options), and market mechanisms (ex. Takeovers)

Maximize PROFIT
Many people think the goal is to maximize profits.
However, profit maximization goal is unclear about the time frame over which profits are to be measured. Would this mean short-term profit, or long-term profit?
It is easy to manipulate the profits through various accounting policies.
Profit maximization goal ignores risk and timing of cash flows.

FINANCIAL MARKETS AND INSTITUTION Financial markets play a critical role in capitalist economy.

• Seasoned Equity Offering: Sale of additional shares by a company whose shares are already traded in the secondary market.
• Example: Google raised $4.18 billion in September 2005.

corporation does not get any money for stocks traded on the secondary market.
