Chapter 1, Problem 6PS

Corporate goals* We can imagine the financial manager doing several things on behalf of the firm’s stockholders. For example, the manager might:

  1. a. Make shareholders as wealthy as possible by investing in real assets.
  2. b. Modify the firm’s investment plan to help shareholders achieve a particular time pattern of consumption.
  3. c. Choose high- or low-risk assets to match shareholders’ risk preferences.
  4. d. Help balance shareholders’ checkbooks.

But in well-functioning capital markets, shareholders will vote for only one of these goals. Which one? Why?
