Corporate finance and financial decisions 1. Definition of corporate finance Corporate finance is an economic relationship in the form of value associated with the creation and use of a company's monetary funds to carry out its business. Corporate finance deals with the financial structure of a corporation, including its funding and the steps taken by the management to maximize corporate finance. Corporate finance also involves methods and research used to allocate capital.
The ultimate goal of corporate finance is to maximize shareholders’ wealth through the preparation and execution of resources, while balancing both profitability and risk. The economic relations associated with the creation, distribution and use of corporate monetary funds constitute the financial relationships of a company. Generally, there are several financial relationships as following: - Relationship between companies and the government: It is expressed in the state funding of operating businesses and the financial obligations to the government of companies such as taxes payments and fees, etc. - Relationship between companies and other economic entities: This involves payment relationships in borrowing and lending, capital investment, purchasing or selling of properties, products, goods and other services.
- Other relationships (including relationships between companies and labors, shareholders, and internal relations): These relations reflect in enterprises’ payments of salaries, wages, bonuses and fines to employees; the relationship among departments of a company in the distribution of net income; dividend distribution to shareholders and establishment of corporate funds, etc. Graduation Thesis 4 Supervisor: Ph. Tran Thanh Thu 1. Financial decisions Basically, finanacial managers have to make financial decisions, both in short- term and long-term course, to meet the objectives of corporate finance.
Long-term financial decision, also called strategic financial decisions, include three decisions: investment decision (capital budgeting); financing decision (source of finance); and dividend decision. In short-term, it is about working capital management, which refers to the current assets and current liabilities. Strategic financial decisions: Investment decision (Capital Budgeting) relates to the total value of assets and the value of each type of assets (fixed assets vs. In detail, investment decision is about: Decision on investment in current assets: How much money should a company put in inventories, accounts receivable, marketable securities, etc.
Decision on investment in fixed assets: Decision on new asset purchase or replacement, long-term investment, financial lease, etc. Deciding on asset structure, which indicates the ratio between current assets and fixed assets. Also it refers to investment in fixed assets, operating leverage, and break-even analysis. Investment decision is considered the most important decision because it creates value for the business.
A right investment decision will contribute to increase the value of the business, thereby increasing the value of the property for the owner. Conversely, a wrong investment decision will damage the value of the business, then resulting in loss of owners’ wealth. Financing decision: This decision associates with sources of finance and how to organize capital structure. That means: Decision on short-term financing: decision on short-term loan or use of commercial credit; decide whether to take a short-term bank loan or use a company bills.
Graduation Thesis 5 Supervisor: Ph. Tran Thanh Thu Decision on long-term financing: decision on long-term debt through long-term bank loans or corporate bond issues; decision on equity (retained earnings or new share issuance); decision on capital structure. Raising fund decision is a significant challenge for corporate financial managers.
