What’s New

What is Finance and Financial Management?
Finance is always of great importance, be it in a business or in one's
everyday life. It is important to manage risks in business, it is equally important to
manage risks in life as well. Risk is nothing but an uncertain event that might
damage your assets and when it is financial risks, it creates loss of Finance. Some
books define Finance as the science and art of managing money. (Gitman &
Zutter, 2012)
Financial Management deals with that decisions that are supposed to
maximize the value of shareholder’s wealth (Cayanan). These decisions will
ultimately affect the markets perception of the company and influence the share
price. The goal of Financial Management is to maximize the value of shares of
stocks. Managers of a corporation are responsible for making the decisions for the
company that would lead towards shareholder’s wealth maximization.

3
Organizational structure of the company is important especially in the
financial aspect of the business and the particular set of people, each play a role in
the decision making of the company. See diagram below.

Board of Directors

President

Vice President Vice President Vice President


Vice President for
for Finance for Production
for Marketing Administration

From the diagram presented, emphasized that each line is working for the
interest of the person on the line above them. Since the managers of the company
are making decisions for the interest of the board of directors and the board of
directors do the same for the interest of the shareholders, it follows the goal of
each individual in a corporate organization should have an objective of
shareholders wealth maximization.

The roles of each position identified.


1. Shareholders: The shareholders elect the Board of Directors (BOD). Each share
held is equal to one voting right. Since the shareholders elect the BOD, their
responsibility is to carry out the objectives of the shareholders. Otherwise, they
would not be elected in that position. Ask the learners again, what objective of
the shareholders is, just to refresh.
2. Board of Directors: The board of directors is the highest policy making body in a
corporation. The board’s primary responsibility is to ensure that the corporation
is operating to serve the best interest of the stockholders. The following are
among the responsibilities of the board of directors:

The role of the VP for Finance/Financial Manager is to determine the


appropriate capital structure of the company. Capital structure refers to how
much of your total assets financed by debt and how much is financed by equity.

To be able to acquire assets, our funds must have come somewhere. If it has
bought using cash from our pockets, it has financed by equity. On the other hand,
if we used money from our borrowings, the asset bought has financed by debt.

What are the functions of Financial Managers?

1. Financing decisions- include making decisions as to how to finance long-term


investments and working capital-which deals with the day-to-day operations of the
company.

2. Investing Decisions- To minimize the probability of failure, long-term


investments have supported by a capital budgeting analysis.

5
3. Operating Decisions – deal with the daily operations of the company especially
on how to finance working capital accounts such as accounts receivable and
inventories.

4. Dividend Policies – Dividend is a part of profits that are available for


distribution, to equity shareholders. The Finance manager must decide whether the
firm should distribute all the profits or retain them or distribute a portion and
retain the balance.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM

Financial Users of Funds


SAVERS
Intermediaries (Borrowers/Investors)
-Households
-Individuals -Banks -Households
-Corporations/Companies -Insurance Companies -Individuals
-Government Agencies -Stock Exchange -Corporations/Companies
-Stock brokerage firms -Government Agencies
-Mutual Funds
-

The financial system links the savers and the users of funds. Savings can
come from households, individuals, companies, government agencies, or any other
entity whose cash inflows are greater than their cash outflows. The financial
system through financial intermediaries provides a mechanism by which these
savings can be channeled to users of funds, borrowers, and investors.
Some of the financial instruments issued by users of funds such as the
shares of stocks and corporate bonds of publicly listed companies and the debt
securities issued by the National Government has traded.

Differentiate the Financial instruments, financial institutions and


financial markets
1. Financial institutions are companies in the financial sector that provide a
broad range of business and services including banking, insurance, and
investment management.
Identify examples of financial institutions/Intermediaries:
a. Commercial Banks - Individuals deposit funds at commercial banks,
which use the deposited funds to provide commercial loans to firms and personal
loans to individuals, and purchase debt securities issued by firms or government
agencies.

b. Insurance Companies - Individuals purchase insurance (life, property


and casualty, and health) protection with insurance premiums. The insurance
companies pool these payments and invest the proceeds in various securities until
the funds needed to pay off claims by policyholders. Because they often own large
blocks of a firm’s stocks or bonds, they frequently attempt to influence the
management of the firm to improve the firm’s performance, and ultimately, the
performance of the securities they own.

6
c. Mutual Funds - Mutual funds owned by investment companies that
enable small investors to enjoy the benefits of investing in a diversified portfolio of
securities purchased on their behalf by professional investment managers. When
mutual funds use money from investors to invest in newly issued debt or equity
securities, they finance new investment by firms. Conversely, when they invest in
debt or equity securities already held by investors, they are transferring ownership
of the securities among investors.

d. Pension Funds - Financial institutions that receive payments from


employees and invest the proceeds on their behalf.

Other financial institutions include pension funds like Government Service


Insurance System (GSIS) and Social Security System (SSS), unit investment trust
fund (UITF), investment banks, and credit unions, among others.

2. Financial Instruments-is a real or a virtual document representing a legal


agreement involving some sort of monetary value. These can be debt securities like
corporate bonds or equity like shares of stock. When a financial instrument issued,
it gives rise to a financial asset on one hand and a financial liability or equity
instrument on the other.

a. A Financial Asset is any asset that is:


• Cash
• An equity instrument of another entity
• A contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from another
entity.
• A contractual right to exchange instruments with another entity under
conditions that are potentially favorable. (IAS 32.11)
• Examples: Notes Receivable, Loans Receivable, Investment in Stocks,
Investment in Bonds
b. A Financial Liability is any liability that is a contractual obligation:
• To deliver cash or other financial instrument to another entity.
• To exchange financial instruments with another entity under conditions
that are potentially unfavorable. (IAS 32)
• Examples: Notes Payable, Loans Payable, Bonds Payable
c. An Equity Instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the
assets of an entity after deducting all liabilities. (IAS 32)
• Examples: Ordinary Share Capital, Preference Share Capital
• Identify common examples of Debt and Equity Instruments.
d. Debt Instruments generally have fixed returns due to fixed interest rates.
Examples of debt instruments are as follows:
• Treasury Bonds and Treasury Bills issued by the Philippine
government. These bonds and bills have usually low interest rates and have very
low risk of default since the government assures that these has been paid.

7
• Corporate Bonds issued by publicly listed companies. These bonds
usually have higher interest rates than Treasury bonds. However, these bonds are
not risk free. If the company issued the bonds goes bankrupt, the holder of the
bonds will no longer receive any return from their investment and even their
principal investment has wiped out.

e. Equity Instruments generally have varied returns based on the performance of


the issuing company. Returns from equity instruments come from either
dividends or stock price appreciation.
The following are types of equity instruments:
•Preferred Stock has priority over a common stock in terms of claims over
the assets of a company. This means that if a company has liquidated and its
assets have to be distributed, no asset be distributed to common stockholders
unless all the claims of the preferred stockholders has given. Moreover, preferred
stockholders have also priority over common stockholders in cash dividend
declaration. Dividends to preferred stockholders are usually in a fixed rate. No cash
dividends given to common stockholders unless all the dividends due to preferred
stockholders paid first. (Cayanan, 2015)

• Holders of Common Stock on the other hand are the real owners of the
company. If the company’s growth is encouraging, the common stockholders will
benefit on the growth. Moreover, during a profitable period for which a company
may decide to declare higher dividends, preferred stock will receive a fixed dividend
rate while common stockholders receive all the excess.

3. Financial Market - refers to a marketplace, where creation and trading of


financial assets, such as shares, debentures, bonds, derivatives, currencies, etc.
take place.
Classify Financial Markets into comparative groups:

- Primary vs. Secondary Markets • To raise money, users of funds will go to


a primary market to issue new securities (either debt or equity) through a
public offering or a private placement.

• The sale of new securities to the public referred to as a public offering and
the first offering of stock named an initial public offering. The sale of new
securities to one investor or a group of investors (institutional investors) is
referred to as a private placement.

• However, suppliers of funds or the holders of the securities may decide to


sell the securities that have purchased. The sale of previously owned
securities takes place in secondary markets.

• The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) is both a primary and secondary


market. 

8
Money Markets vs. Capital Markets •Money markets are a venue wherein
securities with short-term maturities (1 year or less) are sold. They have created
because some individuals, businesses, governments, and financial institutions
have temporarily idle funds that they wish to invest in a relatively safe, interest-
bearing asset. At the same time, other individuals, businesses, governments, and
financial institutions find themselves in need of seasonal or temporary financing.

• On the other hand, securities with longer-term maturities sold in Capital


markets. The key capital market securities are bonds (long-term debt) and both
common stock and preferred stock (equity, or ownership).

The role of Financial Managers: make financing decisions that require


funding from investors in the financial markets.

What’s more?

How do we measure wealth maximization?


For example, Assume that Mr. Y bought 10 shares of Globe Telecom at PHP2, 510
each on September 9, 2010. This brings his investments to PHP25, 100. What
happens to the value of his investment if the price goes up to PHP2, 600 per share
or it goes down to PHP2, 300 per share?

Explanation: An increase of the share price to PHP2, 600 per share means that
people are willing to buy the shares for that amount. If the learners were to sell
their shares at this point, it will result to a profit of PHP90 per share or PHP900 on
their whole investment. Hence, the value of their investment increased from PHP25,
100 to PHP26, 000. Therefore, there is an increase in shareholder’s wealth.

On the other hand, a decrease in the share price to PHP2, 300 per share
means that people are only willing to buy shares for PHP2, 300. If the learners were
to sell their investment at this point, they will receive PHP23, 000 which would
result to a loss of PHP2, 100. The decrease in value of their investment leads to a
decrease in shareholder’s wealth.

Activity 1.2
Direction: Read the problem and answer it correctly. Follow the format above when
you answer.
1. ABC Company bought 10 shares of Jollibee Corporation at PHP2, 000 each on
January 9, 2012. This brings his investments to PHP20, 000. What happens to the
value of his investment if the price goes up to PHP2, 520 per share or it goes down
to PHP1, 500 per share?
