Ans: Financial management means planning, organizing,
directing and controlling the financial resources and activities of business firm or organization. The person who manage this activities is called a financial manager. A financial manager has to accomplish some objective to achieve organization’s goal. This objectives are: 1. Ensuring regular and adequate supply of funds: Normally if a financial manager has to maintain a business entity properly he has to ensure a regular cash flow or regular fund flow. So, if the firm doesn’t have proper fund they cannot do any sort of financial activity and achieve organizations goal. 2. Ensuring adequate return to the shareholders: After utilizing the fund financial manager must satisfy their shareholders. He has to give proper return to their investment. If the manager failed give a profitable return then the shareholders/investors will be no longer interested to invest in the company. To ensure this return the manager need to focus on three things: Earning Capacity: Many times we over promise beyond our capacity but a good financial manager can never do this, because if we cannot give the return we promised to the shareholders they will lose interest in the business this and this will put a negative effect on the business. So you have to provide a return to your shareholder based on your earning capacity. Market Price Per Share: Earning capacity depends on the market price of the share. The better the market price of the share, the better the earning capacity and the better it will increase. In order to increase the market price per share, the financial manager needs to increase his managerial efficiency in internal activities. Expectation: The financial manager needs to keep his expectation of return based on earning capacity and market price per share. He cannot expect more return his earing capacity and market price per share is low.
3. Ensuring optimum fund utilization: Optimization
means making the best or most effective use of a resource. A financial manager needs to know to utilize the fund of his firm in optimum level. He needs to utilize the fund in such way that it reaches its top efficiency. Once he ensure the optimum fund utilization it helps to boost the objective of business finance that is the wealth maximization. The better he can use the fund, the greater the wealth maximization will be. 4. Ensuring safety: A financial manager needs to ensure the safety of his investment before investing. He shouldn’t invest in a place where the investment is questionable. He needs to measure the risks of the investment, understand its profitability to ensure the safety of the investment. 5. Planning a sound capital structure: The capital structure is the combination of debt and equity used by a firm to finance its overall operations and growth.

Ans: In this question, the conflict that I have with my
manager is agency problem. Agency problem is a one kind of internal problem in the organization. Agency problem is a conflict of interest between shareholders/owner and manager or agents. In this question, I have a conflict with my manager. It is an example of stockholders versus manager agency problem. If the manager owns less than 100% of the firm's common stock, a potential agency problem between mangers and stockholders exists. In this problem the stockholder wants regular return without any kind of risk. But manager wants to take risk because he thinks more risk can get more return. There are some ways to solve agency problem. They are: 1. Managerial Compensation: The stockholders/owner can compensate the manager to avoid the conflict. The shareholders can: Increase the manager’s salary. Give him a monthly or yearly bonus based on his performance. Give him options to buy company stocks at a future date and price. 2. Direct Intervention: The shareholders can directly intervene in manager’s work. They can watch and dictate every steps of mangers work. Shareholders can enforce manager to improve his performance and give suggestions or guideline regarding how to run the business. 3. Threat of Firing: If the mangers doesn’t improve their performance then the shareholders can threat them to fire from their work. In this way the managers may improve his work to keep his job. 4. Threat of Takeovers: If the managers doesn’t improve their performance and the firm’s share is undervalued, the stockholders might threat them to take over their work. The stockholders can tell the managers to run the business or they will bring another board of managers to take over their work.
