financial management involves and their functions.,Generally,good reading techniques or skills will not only make reading easier,but also,improve reading comprehension to a certain extent.,12/84,6-2,Comprehensive Reading,It is advisable to read this comprehension passage at least twice:the first time,to obtain,an overall impression of the text,and then a second time to concentrate on the important,details.Sometimes a third reading is necessaryto check items that cause difficulty.,Now read the following text for the first time,at your normal speed,try to get a general,idea of what the passage is about,and then finish the Task 2 at the end of the text.,13/84,6-2,Comprehensive Reading,Financial Management,1 Financial management involves the solution of the three major decisions:the investment decision,the financing decision,and the,dividend decision.1 Together,they determine the value of a company to itsshareholders.,翻译,财务管理,财务管理要处理三大决议问题：投资决议、融资决议和分配政策。这三大决议共同决定了企业对股东们价值所在。,14/84,6-2,Comprehensive Reading,Assuming that our objective is to maximize this value,the firm should strive for an optimal combination of the three interrelated,decisions solved jointly.2 The decision to invest in a new capital project,for example,financing the

influenced by the dividend decision,for retained earnings used in internal financing represent dividends by stockholders.With a proper conceptual framework,joint decisions that tend to be optimal can be reached.3,翻译,而这项融资决议又会影响到分配决议，而且也受分配决议影响。因为，用于内部融资那部分提留利润就是股东放弃红利。具备了正确理念框架，到达最正确目标综合决议就会应运而生。关键在于财务经理要考虑每一项决议对企业价值提升所产生影响。,forgone,forgo 摒绝，放弃,16/84,6-2,Comprehensive Reading,2 The investment decision is the most important of the three decisions when it comes to the creation of value.4 Capital investment is the allocation of capital to investment proposals whose benefits are to be realized in the future.,翻译,谈及实现资产增值这个问题时，投资决议就成了三项决议中最主要一项。资本投资就是为那些未来才能实现收益投资计划进行资金配置。,17/84,6-2,Comprehensive Reading,Because the future benefits are not known with certainty,investment proposals necessarily involve risk.Consequently,they should be evaluated in relation to their expected return and risk,for these are the factors that affect the firms valuation in the marketplace.,翻译,因为未来收益存在着不确定性，所以投资计划必定有风险。因为未来收益存在着不确定性，所以投资计划必定有风险。最终，投资计划还得结合预期收益和预期风险进行评定，因为这些原因会影响市场对企业评定。,18/84,6-2,Comprehensive Reading,Included also under the investment decision is the decision to reallocate capital when an asset no longer economically justifies the capital committed to it.5,翻译,当某项资产不再带来应有经济利益时，投资决议还要对资本重新配置。,19/84,6-2,Comprehensive Reading,The investment decision,then,determines the total amount of assets held by the firm,the composition of these assets,and the businessrisk of the firm as perceived by suppliers of capital.Using an appropriate acceptance criterion,or required rate of return,is fundamental to the investment decision.,翻译,另外，投资决议还得对企业拥有资产总额、资产结构以及投资人觉察到经营风险问题做出决议。利用适当、可接收标准或者预期投资回报率是投资决议基本标准。,complexion,complexion 情况，局面,20/84,6-2,Comprehensive Reading,Because of the and importance of this issue,we shall pay considerable attention to determining the appropriate required rate of return for an investment project,for a division of a company,for the company as a whole,and for a prospective acquisition.,翻译,因为决议问题至关主要，所以对每个投资项目、企业每个部门、整个企业和每一预期收益，我们都要慎重考虑其回报率是否能够接收而且切合实际。,paramount,paramount 最重 要,integrative,integrative 整体，综合,21/84,6-2,Comprehensive Reading,In addition to selecting new investments,a firm must manage existing assets efficiently.Financial managers have varying degrees of,operating responsibility for existing assets;they are more concerned with the management of current assets than with fixed assets.,翻译,除了选择新投资项目外，企业必须有效地管理现有资产。财务经理人员对现有资产负有不一样程度经营责任。他们更关心流动资产管理，而不是固定资产。,22/84,6-2,Comprehensive Reading,Determining a proper level of liquidity is very much a part of this management,and its

capital to these assets by of their involvement in capital investment.8,翻译,为企业清偿能力设定一个恰当水平是财务管理一项主要工作，必须与企业整体价值保持一致。尽管，财务经理人员对固定资产和库存几乎不负经营责任，不过，因为他们参加资本投资决议工作，所以在这些项目划拨资金时，他们起着指导性作用。,virtue,virtue 优点，优点,instrumental,instrumental 有指导性作用,23/84,6-2,Comprehensive Reading,4 Financing decision is the second major decision of a firm and the financial manager is concerned with determining the best financing mix or capital structure.If a company can change its total valuation by varying its capital structure,an optimal financing mix would exist,in which market,price per share could be maximized.9,翻译,融资决议是企业第二项主要决议。财务经理人员要重视怎样确定最正确融资组合或资本结构。假如企业能经过资本结构变更来实现企业整体价值改观，最正确融资组合就会诞生，企业每股市场价就可能到达最大化。,24/84,6-2,Comprehensive Reading,Dividend decision is the third important decision of a firm.The dividend decision includes the percentage of earnings paid to stockholders in cash dividends,stock dividends,and the dividend investment plans,which automatically use the cash dividend to

of a dividend to investors must be balanced against the opportunity cost of the retained reinvested in the business.Thus,we see that the dividend decision should be,analyzed in relation to the financing decision.,翻译,假如有红利可分，投资者必须要权衡利弊：取得一份红利机会成本就等于放弃用提留盈利进行股权融资机会。所以，我们认为要将分配决议与融资决议一起进行分析。,27/84,6-2,Notes,Notes,1 investment decision：投资决议,financing decision：融资决议,dividend decision：分配决议,2 an optimal combination of the three interrelated decisions solved jointly.,三个相互联络决议进行优化组合，综合给予处理。,3 With a proper conceptual framework,joint decisions that tend to be optimal can
