FINC 600 Week 1 Homework
Problem 1-6
In most large corporations, ownership and management are separated. What are the main implications of this separation?
Problem 1-8
We can imagine the financial manager doing several things on behalf of the firm’s stockholders. For example, the manager might:

b. Modify the firm’s investment plan to help shareholders achieve a particular time pattern of consumption.
c. Choose high- or low-risk assets to match shareholders’ risk preferences.
d. Help balance shareholders’ checkbooks.
But in well-functioning capital markets, shareholders will vote for only one of these goals. Which one? Why?
