What’s In
Recently, the world has been affected with the pandemic, COVID-19. During this time most of
the households are quarantined and are not allowed to get out. How were your family able to
manage the needs of the family? Below is an inventory form of the need and wants of your
family during this time. List down all your needs and wants and the amount in a monthly basis

Guide Questions:
1. What are the needs of your family during the pandemic? How about the
wants?
2. What are the sources of income of your parents?
3. Did your parents manage the resources they have? How can you say so?
What’s New
Most of the families during the pandemic received assistance from the government as a help
to affected areas. Assuming your family received an amount of PhP 8,000. Based on the first
activity we had, using the same needs and wants and listed amounts. Answer the following
questions:
1. How much is the total peso amount for needs? How about for wants?
2. How much is the excess?
3. If you are to cross-out an item to cover the given amount, what will you
cross-out?
4. If you are to purchase all the items on the list including the ones you
crossed-out, how much cash would you need to support all the expenses?
5. What other sources of cash you know?
What Is It
?
To fully understand the concepts in finance, read and understand carefully the concepts that
will be presented to you.

Given an allowance cap of PhP 8,000 in our previous activity, you were able to list down
expenses (needs and wants) and accumulated a certain amount. If you exceed with the given
amount you tend to drop some items from the list until such time that your will meet the needed
required amount to buy all your family’s needs and wants. What you did is called budgeting.
Budgeting is the act of estimating revenue (in from the allowance cap) and expenses over a
period of time (in our case, in a monthly basis).
In our case you have savings or excess of cash as shown in Table 1, you can use them to
purchase other items that will arise on the next day or you can have it saved. Take note that
these excess money presents opportunity for investments. Investments come in many forms
that will generate more income or appreciate in the future. Instead of hiding your cash under
your bed or in the piggy banks have it deposited in the bank to earn interest.
In some instances, family’s needs exceed to the allowance cap for the month. Therefore, your
parents would tend to seek for other ways to suffice the needed amount. Your parents would
either borrow from neighbors, private individuals, from a lending institution or pawn a jewelry,
thus this is called sources of funds. When faced with financial difficulties, we look for people
or institutions that will give us the money we need.
Take note that finance is mostly concerned with decisions about:
• Sole Proprietorship – a business owned by one person and operated for his or her own
profit.
• Partnership – a business owned by two or more people and operated for profit.
• Corporation – an entity created by law owned by shareholders.
Sample Problem 1:
Fina, a Grade 12 ABM student bought 10 shares of Globe Telecom at PHP2,510 each on
September 9, 2019. This bring her investments to PHP25,100. What happens to the value of
her investment if the price goes up to PHP2,600 per share or it goes down to PHP2,300 per
share?
An increase of the share price to PHP2600 per share means that people are willing to buy the
shares for that amount. If Fina were to sell her share at this point, it will result to a profit of
PHP90 per share or PHP900 on their whole investment. Hence, the value of investment
increased from PHP25,100 to PHP26,000. Therefore, there is an increase in shareholder’s
wealth.
On the other hand, a decrease in the share price to PHP2,300 per share means that people
are only willing to buy the shares for PHP2,300. If Fina were to sell her investment at this
point, she will receive PHP23,000 which would result to a loss of investment leads to a loss of
PHP2,100. The decrease in value of her investment leads to decrease in shareholder’s
wealth.
Profitability
Profit is a measure of the financial performance of a company for a period of time. Although it
is a major driver for increasing the value of stock, an investor should not rely on profits alone.
As discussed earlier, it is possible that the company has profits but its cash flow is negative.
Let us try the sample problem below.
Sample Problem 2
Suppose the following Income Statements and Cash Flow Statements of companies A, B
and C were presented to you. Which do you think is a more attractive company?
Company A
Company B
Company C
Company A is profitable but generated negative cash flows which resulted from the
uncollected accounts receivable of PHP100,000. Without adequate cash inflows to meet its
obligations, the company will face liquidity problems, regardless of its level of profits.
Company B on the other hand has a positive cash flow but is unprofitable. This is a result of
the company’s delay in payment of its costs. Accordingly, the Company will soon have to pay
the remaining PHP100,000 liability and its cash will no longer be sufficient. Again, without
adequate cash inflows to meet its obligations, the company will face liquidity problems.
Company C is profitable and has a positive cash flow. Based on the information provided,
Company C seems to be the best.
A competent management looks attractive for it builds trust and confidence that the money
invested is in the good hands of the persons involved in the company.
Sample Problem 3:
Company A which is in the business of selling Halo-halo in the Brgy. Robles area for 5 years.
Company A is consistently earning profits and has a positive cash flow. When asked how
Company A sees itself after 5 more years, Company A answered that it would continue to sell
Halo-halo in Brgy. Robles.
On the other hand, Company B sells Buko Juice in Brgy. Cabacungan area for 5 years.
Company B is consistently earning profits and has a positive cash flow. When asked how
Company B sees itself after 5 more years, Company B answered that it has generated enough
cash to expand its business to La Granja area to take advantage of the growing demand of
Buko Juice in La Granja.
External Factors
These factors influence the general reaction of investors in making an investment decision.
Its effect is not only to a specific company but on all companies or a group of companies under
similar circumstances. Such factors are a result of the environment a company operates in
rather than the decisions of the company’s management.
Given the factors that influence market price the next challenge that shareholders will face is
on how they are going to achieve their objectives, thus it can be made true through financial
management.
Financial Management
Financial management deals with the decisions that are supposed to maximize the value of
shareholders’ wealth. (Cayanan) These decisions will ultimately affect markets perception of
the company and influence the share price. The goal of financial management is to maximize
the value of shares of stocks. It also is focused on capital budgeting decision or investment
decision on acquisition of assets and its corresponding financing scheme.
The Role of Financial Management
1. The senior leaders of an organization are responsible for all aspects of its financial
health. They are the ones understands the unit’s financial situation and do not allow
unintended deficits to occur. They are accountable for the resources entrusted to them
that includes the funds, facilities and recruitment of employees, even if the control and
tasks have been delegated to their staff, under command of responsibilities. Example:
Shareholders, and Board of Directors.
2. Unit heads are responsible for their internal financial management and to develop
budgeting, financial reporting and management practices. Units are encouraged to
develop an oversight process that builds on best practices. (De Guzman, 2019)
Managers of the corporation are responsible for making the decisions for the company
that would lead towards shareholders’ wealth maximization.
Example: Chief Executive Officer, VP for Production, Marketing, Finance,
Administration and the likes.
On the next lessons you will fill in the shoes of a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and every
problem that you will encounter for this course should be dealt with having shareholders wealth
maximization in mind.
