OMBC 203 : Financial Management

Assignment 1

1. Which of the following is not an objective of financial management?

✅ Correct Answer: Ensuring discipline in the organization


 Financial management focuses on wealth maximization, fund arrangement, and cost-effective
mobilization — not behavioral management or discipline.
2. Which of the following statements is correct regarding profit maximization as the primary goal of the
firm?

✅ Correct Answer: Profit maximization is concerned more with maximizing net income than the stock
price
 Profit maximization focuses on short-term net income, not long-term shareholder value or stock
price, and ignores risk and timing.
3. How are earnings per share calculated?

✅ Correct Answer: Use the income statement to determine earnings after taxes (net income) and
divide by the number of common shares outstanding
 EPS = Net Income / Number of Common Shares Outstanding
 Preferred dividends are sometimes subtracted if applicable, but standard EPS uses common
shares only.
4. What is the most appropriate goal of the firm?

✅ Correct Answer: Shareholder Wealth maximization


 This aligns with long-term performance, market value, and overall health of the firm — unlike
just profit or EPS.
5. Finance Function comprises:

✅ Correct Answer: Procurement & effective use of funds


 Both raising and allocating capital are essential roles in finance.
6. The principal-agent problem describes a situation where:

✅ Correct Answer: managers follow their own inclinations, which often differ from the aims of

(owners/shareholders).
7. A(n) ___ would be an example of a principal, while a(n) ___ would be an example of an agent.

 This is personal use of company assets, not in shareholders’ interest — a clear agency cost.
13. Agency problems are best defined as:

✅ Correct Answer: problems arising due to potential misalignment between the interests of owners,
creditors, and managers
 These arise when agents (managers) may not act in the best interests of principals
(owners/shareholders).
14. Which of the following is not a source of corporate financing?

✅ Correct Answer: Fixed capital


 Fixed capital refers to investments in long-term assets, not a source of finance like equity or
bonds.
15. The __________ decision involves a determination of the total amount of assets needed, the
composition of the assets, and whether any assets need to be reduced, eliminated, or replaced.

✅ Correct Answer: investment


 Investment decisions (also called capital budgeting) deal with the selection and management of

no conflict of interest.
19. Maximization of the current earnings of the firm is the main goal of the financial manager.

✅ Correct Answer: False


 The main goal is shareholder wealth maximization, not short-term earnings.
20. The board of directors has the power to act on behalf of the shareholders to hire and fire the
operating management of the firm. In a legal sense, the directors are "principals" and the shareholders
