Write 'T' if the statement is true and 'F' if the statement is false. 1 Stockholders expect to earn higher rates of return on investments of lower risk and lower rates of return on investments of higher risk. 2 When considering each financial decision alternative or possible action in terms of its impact on the share price of the firm's stock, financial managers should accept only those actions that are expected to maximize shareholder value. 3 Due to the no fixed costs assumption underlying the strict percent-of-sales method, the use of cost and expense ratios generally tends to understate profits when sales are increasing and overstate profits when sales are decreasing. 4 A firm's investment opportunities schedule (IOS) is a graphical presentation of the firm's collection of project IRRs in descending order against the total dollar investment. 5 From a bond issuer's perspective, the IRR on a bond's cash flows is its yield to maturity (YTM); from the investor's perspective, the IRR on a bond's cash flows is the cost to maturity. 6 The effect of a decrease in the ratio of current assets to total assets and the effect of an increase in the ratio of current liabilities to total assets are increases in the firm's profits and, correspondingly, its risk. 7 Factoring accounts receivable is a relatively inexpensive source of unsecured short-term funds. 8 Fixed assets are the most desirable short-term loan collateral since they normally have a longer life, or duration, than the term of the loan. 9 In doing business in foreign countries, financing operations in the local market not only improves the company's business ties to the host community but also minimizes exchange rate risk. 10 Historical weights are either book value or market value weights based on the actual historical capital structure proportions. 11 To achieve the goal of profit maximization for each alternative being considered, the financial manager would select the one that is expected to result in the highest monetary return. 12 A market risk-return function is a graphical presentation of the discount rates associated with each level of project risk. 13 In spite of the theoretical superiority of IRR, financial managers prefer to use NPV. 14 In general, projects with similar-sized investments and lower early-year cash inflows (lower cash inflows in the early years) tend to be preferred at higher discount rates. 15 If a firm is subject to capital rationing, it is able to accept all independent projects that provide an acceptable return. 16 It would be correct to define Operating Cash Flow (OCF) as net operating profit after taxes minus depreciation. 17 The higher the debt ratio, the more financial leverage a firm has and, thus, the greater will be its risk and return. 18 Gross profit margin measures the percentage of each sales dollar left after the firm has paid for its goods and operating expenses.
