For example, if one action increases a firm’s stock price from a current level of P40 to P45 in 6 months and then to P50 in 5 years but another action keeps the stock at P40 for several years but then increases it to P70 in 5 years, which action would be better?

Think of some specific corporate actions that have these general tendencies. Financial ratio analysis is conducted by three main groups of analysts: credit analysts, stock analysts, and managers. What is the primary emphasis of each group, and how would that emphasis affect the ratios they focus on? Why might it be rational for a small firm that does not have access to the capital markets to use the payback method rather than the NPV method? A small firm intends to increase the capacity of a bottleneck operation by adding a new machine. Two alternatives, A and B, have been identified and the associated costs and revenues have been…You live in a world where three future states are possible: Boom, Normal and Recession.
