Maximization of profit vs.
Maximization of shareholders wealth
Maximization of profit Suboptimal decision for shareholders The use of profit as a measure of return is misleading in that
profit could be increased through external financing (acquisition)which will dilute the equity and eventually decrease earning pershare
The use of EPS also not an appropriate objective in that it doesnot represent the actual income of the shareholders. It onlyrepresent investors share of income according to accountingformula.
Ignore timing of return (earning) and uncertainty (risk)
Maximization of shareholders wealth Means maximization of firms value, max share price
Takes into account present and future earning (return) per share,timing, duration and risk of the earning
Takes into account dividend yield and capital gain
Efficient allocation of resources in the society

Limitation of ratios Lack of standard definition
Some accounting ratios may be defined in more thanone way. This makes it difficult to compare ratioscalculated by different accountants, for the sameratios.
Unrepresentative balance sheet figures
Balance sheet only shows a snapshot of a companysfinancial position on a single date, whereas profit andloss account covers entire accounting period.
Therefore if the assets and liabilities on the balancesheet date are not typical of the year as a whole, anyratio that combines a balance sheet figure with profitand loss figure might produce a misleading result.

meaningful comparison between companies Misinterpretation

is taken into account. For example reduction ingross profit margin is seen as a bad sign,when in fact the company has deliberatelydropped selling price to boost sales.
