This chapter provides an overview of debt, equity, and internally generated funds.

Financial MarketsCompetition in financial markets is fierce--much more so
than in product markets.
Few protected niches (ex: cannot patent the structure of a new security)
Securities sell for their true values True value – a price that incorporates all the information currently
available to investors
14-14-44
Corporate FinancingFirms have three broad sources of cash.
Internally generated funds – Cash reinvested in the firm: depreciation plus earnings not paid out as dividends.
New equity issuesNew debt issues
14-14-55
Internally Generated Funds
Historical sources of funds for FedEx1995-2010

Why Internal Funds?Managers prefer to reinvest internal funds for a number of reasons:Cost of issuing securitiesNew equity announcement implications
• The announcement of a new equity issue is usually bad news for investors.
• Can be perceived as an attempt by management to sell overpriced stock.
Raising capital internally avoids the costs and bad omens associated with new equity issues.

Corporate FinancingWhat happens when the firm cannot finance all of its
activities from plowed-back funds?Financial Deficit•The difference between the cash a company needs and the amount generated internally.
• To fix this deficit, firms either issue new equity or issue new debt.

Equity IssuesMost corporations are too large to be owned by one investor; therefore they issue stock to many
investors.Example:
Dow is owned by 650,000 different investors. If it has 1.167 billion shares outstanding, how much of Dow does an
investor who holds one share own?
The investor owns: , or 0.000000085% of Dow

Equity Terminology
Treasury stock• Stock that has been repurchased by the company and held in its
treasury.
Issued shares and Outstanding Shares• Shares that have been issued by the company; shares that have
been issued by the company and are held by investors.
Authorized Share Capital• The maximum number of shares that the company is permitted to
issue without additional shareholder approval.
14-14-1010
Equity Terminology: Example
Imagine a firm has 100 million shares currently trading on the NYSE. The firm issues 20 million new shares, and
repurchases 5 million shares one month later.
What is the total change in treasury stock?
What is the total change in the number of issued shares?
What is the total change the number of shares outstanding?
14-14-1111
Equity TerminologyWhen a firm issues new equity, it records each
new share in its books at par value.
Additional Paid-in Capital• The difference between the issue price and the par value
of a stock
Retained Earnings• Earnings not paid out as dividends
14-14-1212
Equity Terminology: Example
Suppose a firm has recently issued 10 million new shares at $15 per share; the par value of each is $1.50.
What is the value of additional paid-in capital (APIC)?
14-14-1313
Net Common Equity
Net CommonEquity =

+Additional
Paid-in Capital+
RetainedEarnings -
ShareRepurchases
Represents the total amount contributed directly by shareholders when the firm issued new stock, and contributed indirectly when it
plowed back part of its earnings
14-14-1414
Net Common Equity: Example
What is the book value per share of equity for a firm with $1 million in net common equity; $50,000 in authorized share capital; 25,000 shares issued; and 20,000 shares
outstanding?
14-14-1515
Corporate OwnershipA corporation is owned by its common stockholders.
Owners are entitled to: Profits• The shareholders are entitled to whatever profits are left over after the lenders have
received their dues.• A portion of profits are usually paid out in dividends and the rest is plowed back into
the firm.
• Plowed back profits should allow the company to earn higher profits and pay higher dividends in the future.
Control of the firm• Shareholders retain all residual rights of control over the operation of the firm
14-14-1616
Corporate OwnershipShareholders exercise control over the firm by voting for its
board of directors.
• Majority Voting• Voting system in which each director is voted on separately
• Cumulative Voting• Voting system in which all votes that one shareholder is
allowed to cast can be cast for one candidate for the board of directors
• Proxy Contest• Takeover attempt in which outsiders compete with
management for shareholders’ votes
14-14-1717
Corporate Ownership: Example
A shareholder owning 100 shares of stock is voting for the board of directors who are elected by cumulative voting. How
many votes did the shareholder cast for Director 'A' if four directors are to be elected and the shareholder cast his/her
maximum number of votes for 'A'?

Preferred Stock
Preferred Stock Advantages:• Dividends• Tax Advantages:– If one corporation buys another’s stock, only 30% of
the dividends it receives is taxable.•Disadvantages:
Potential Disadvantages:• Interest rate fluctuations: Interest rate fluctuations – As interest rates rise, the
present value of the preferred securities falls. This problem is solved with floating-rate preferred shares.
• Floating Rate Preferred: – Preferred stock paying dividends that vary with short-term interest rates
14-14-1919
Corporate Debt
When issuing debt, companies promise to make payments and repay principal. But they have limited liability; debt
is not always repaid.

Debt Characteristics Interest rate fluctuations
Coupon vs. Zero-coupon Bonds• Prime Rate – Benchmark interest rate charged by banks.• LIBOR – London Interbank Offered Rate; the rate at which international banks lend to
one another.
Would you expect the price of a 10-year floating-rate bond to be more or less sensitive to changes in interest rates
than the price of a 10-year fixed-rate bond?
14-14-2121
Debt Characteristics Funded and Unfunded Debt
• Debt with more than 1 year remaining to maturity; debt due in less than one year.
Sinking Fund• A fund established to retire debt before maturity.
