Forms of Business Organization
• Sole proprietorship
• Partnership
• Corporation
Ayesha Saimoon18
01. Sole Proprietorship
Advantages– Easiest to start– Least regulated– Single owner
keeps all the profits
– Taxed once as personal income
Sole Proprietorships: A business owned by a single individual
Disadvantages– Limited to life of
owner– Equity capital
limited to owner’s personal wealth
– Unlimited liability– Difficult to sell
ownership interest
Ayesha Saimoon19
A partnership has roughly the same advantages and disadvantages as a sole proprietorship with two or more owners.
02. Partnership
Advantages1. Two or more
owners2. More capital
available3. Relatively easy to
start4. Income taxed once
as personal income
Disadvantages– Unlimited liability
– Partnership dissolves when one partner dies or wishes to sell
– Difficult to transfer ownership, but less difficult than sole proprietorship – add partners
Ayesha Saimoon20
Advantages1. Limited liability2. Unlimited life3. Separation of ownership and
management4. Transfer of ownership is easy5. Easier to raise capital
Generally, any business organization which shares are traded in the share market is called Corporation.A business entity that legally functions separate and apart from its owners.
03. Corporation
Disadvantages– Agency Problem– Double taxation – Lacks of Secrecy

Financial Goals of the Corporation
• The primary financial goal is shareholder wealth maximization, which translates to maximizing stock price.– Do firms have any responsibilities to society at large?– Is stock price maximization good or bad for society?– Should firms behave ethically?
Two opinion
1. Profit Maximization
2. Wealth Maximization
Ayesha Saimoon23
Profit MaximizationUnder this approach, action that increase profit should be undertaken
and those that decrease profits are to be avoided.Profit maximization consists of the following important features.1. Profit maximization is also called as cashing per share
maximization. It leads to maximize the business operation for profit maximization.
2. Ultimate aim of the business concern is earning profit, hence, it considers all the possible ways to increase the profitability of the concern.
3. Profit is the parameter of measuring the efficiency of the business concern. So it shows the entire position of the business concern.
4. Profit maximization objectives help to reduce the risk of the business.
Measurement of Profit: For corporations profits are commonly measured in terms of
Earnings Per Share (EPS)Profitability also refers to a situation where output exceeds input.
Ayesha Saimoon24
Favorable and Unfavorable argument for Profit Maximization
Favorable Arguments for Profit Maximization(i) Main aim is earning profit.(ii) Profit is the parameter of the business operation.(iii) Profit reduces risk of the business concern.(iv) Profit is the main source of finance.(v) Profitability meets the social needs also.
Unfavorable Arguments for Profit Maximization
(i) Profit maximization leads to exploiting workers and consumers.
(ii) Profit maximization creates immoral practices such as corrupt practice, unfair trade practice, etc.
(iii) Profit maximization objectives leads to inequalities among the sake holders such as customers, suppliers, public shareholders, etc.
Ayesha Saimoon25
Drawbacks of Profit MaximizationProfit maximization objective consists of certain drawback
also:1. It is vague: In this objective, profit is not defined
precisely or correctly. It creates some unnecessary opinion regarding earning habits of the business concern.
2. It ignores the time value of money: Profit maximization does not consider the time value of money or the net present value of the cash inflow. It leads certain differences between the actual cash inflow and net present cash flow during a particular period.
3. (It ignores risk: Profit maximization does not consider risk of the business concern. Risks may be internal or external which will affect the overall operation of the business concern.
Ayesha Saimoon26
Wealth Maximization• The financial goal of wealth maximization is also known
as value maximization. The term wealth means shareholder wealth or the wealth of the persons those who are involved in the business concern. Wealth maximization is also known as value maximization or net present worth maximization. This objective is universally accepted concept in the field of business.
• The wealth of a corporate owner is measured by the share price of the stock which in term based on the – Timing of returns– Cash flows and– Risk
Wealth = Price per share x No. of Shares
Ayesha Saimoon27
Favorable Arguments for Wealth Maximization1. Wealth maximization is superior to the profit
maximization because the main aim of the business concern under this concept is to improve the value or wealth of the shareholders.
2. Wealth maximization considers the comparison of the value to cost associated with the business concern. Total value detected from the total cost incurred for the business operation. It provides extract value of the business concern.
3. Wealth maximization considers both time and risk of the business concern.
4. Wealth maximization provides efficient allocation of resources.
5. It ensures the economic interest of the society.
Ayesha Saimoon28
Unfavorable and Unfavorable argument for Wealth Maximization
1. Wealth maximization leads to prescriptive idea of the business concern but it may not be suitable to present day business activities.
2. Wealth maximization is nothing, it is also profit maximization, it is the indirect name of the profit maximization.
3. Wealth maximization creates ownership-management controversy.
4. Management alone enjoy certain benefits.
5. The ultimate aim of the wealth maximization objectives is to maximize the profit.
6. Wealth maximization can be activated only with the help of the profitable position of the business concern.
Ayesha Saimoon29
Is stock price maximization the same as profit maximization?
• No, despite a generally high correlation amongst stock price, EPS, and cash flow.
• Current stock price relies upon current earnings, as well as future earnings and cash flow.
• Some actions may cause an increase in earnings, yet cause the stock price to decrease (and vice versa).

The Agency Problems & Relationships
• Agency problem– Conflict of interest between principal and agent
• Agency relationship
An agency relationship exists whenever a principal hires an agent to act on their behalf.– Stockholders (principals) hire managers (agents) to run
the company
• Within a corporation, agency relationships exist between:
– Shareholders and managers
– Shareholders and creditors
Ayesha Saimoon32
Examples of Agency Problem• Common example of an agency relationship is a real
estate broker – in particular if you break it down between a buyers agent and a sellers agent. A classic conflict of interest is when the agent is paid on commission, so they may be less willing to let the buyer know that a lower price might be accepted or they may elect to only show the buyer homes that are listed at the high end of the buyers price range.
• Direct agency costs – the purchase of something for management that can’t be justified from a risk-return standpoint, monitoring costs.
• Indirect agency costs – management’s tendency to forgo risky or expensive projects that could be justified from a risk-return standpoint.
Ayesha Saimoon33
Managers are naturally intended to act in their own best interests.
But the following factors affect managerial behavior:
1. Managerial compensation plans
2. Direct intervention by shareholders
3. The threat of firing
4. The threat of takeover
