The Goals of the CorporationSocial Responsibility
Firms should provide a safe environment, avoid airpollution and produce safe products. Incentives against
for firms to act in a socially responsible manner are:
Disadvantage in attracting funds due to extra costs incurred
Inability to compete due to higher prices of products
Constraints by capital market factors
Therefore
Social Responsibility actions should be enforced on a
mandatory rather than a voluntary basis

Present Value explained The value of any financial contract (i.e., stock)
answers the following questions: 1. How much do I expect receipts to be (expected cash flow
to the investor (i.e., dividends))?
2. When do I receive the payments (timing/opportunity cost)?
3. What is the chance I do not receive what I expected
(risk)?
The Present Value (discounted) of cash flowsreceived by an investor is used as the estimate of thevalue of a contract (i.e., shareholder wealth)
The Present Value (discounted) of a single share isthe shares market price

Profit maximization fails to account for
differences in the level of cash flows (as
opposed to profits), the timing of these cash
flows, and the risk of these cash flows.

Agency Relationships
Whenever a manager owns less than 100% of thefirms equity, a potential agency problem exists.
In theory, managers would agree with shareholder
wealth maximization.
However, managers are also concerned with their
personal wealth, job security, fringe benefits, and
lifestyle.
This would cause managers to act in ways that do not
always benefit the firms shareholders.

Agency Relationships
Creditors consider the riskiness of the firm
Stockholders should not act against creditors because
Creditors protect themselves through restrictions in credit
agreements
Creditors may request an interest rate much higher than
normal to compensate for the stockholders actions
Result: Stockholders may find it difficult to borrow funds
in the future
