Answer to Question 2:
Requirement 1:
The concept of maximization of shareholders wealth is that it focuses on enhancing
the overall value of business instead of focusing on short-terms benefits or returns. On other
hand, concept of maximization of profit is essentially a short-term approach that does not
lead to increased value of business. The main objective of maximizing the wealth of
shareholders is that it results in efficiently allocating capital and maximizing the return on
capital. The concept is related with increasing the shareholders wealth by increasing the
business value (Bae et al., 2014).
Maximizing the wealth of shareholders is one of the universally accepted objectives
of any organization. The concept of maximizing the wealth of shareholders came into being
after the concept of profit maximization. Value of shareholders would improve with the
increase in price of shares that is regarded as the net worth business function. The drawbacks
of maximization of profit model are obviated by the employment of model of wealth
maximization. Capital investments made by organization should be able to generate return
that is more than the required rates of return such investments made such that this would lead
to maximizing the wealth of shareholders. However, an increase in profit of organization

indirectly increases the wealth of shareholders. This is so because this would generate higher
dividend payment to shareholders that would involve long-term pay offs to customers.
Maximization of wealth of shareholders is the responsibility of management by
allocating resources in way that would help in generating highest returns and at the same time
mitigating the risks. A detailed and in depth analysis if cash flow associated with investments
is required to be conducted by management.
Requirement 2:
Risk averse investors are one when they are face with two investment decisions, they
would prefer the investments with lower risks. Their portfolio comprise of assets that does
not carry any risks and generates a fixed income. Such types of investors prefer making
investments in government bonds, treasury bills, fixed deposits and certificate of deposits that
generates lower rate of return. However, they often lose out on higher return by not making
investments in capital assets that has the opportunity of providing investors with higher
return. They often lag behind investing in right investment vehicle and are not able to
participate in the market (Deguest et al., 2013).
Making an investment in lower return and risk free assets deprive them of advantage
that is generated from growth of market and higher level of profits. The establishment of
relationship volatility and high level of profits is difficult for such investors. Making
investments in risky assets would provide long-term benefits to investor seeking investment
in such assets. Expected returns for investors are lower for investors who are willing to take
additional risks on their investments. There always exists trade off between risk and returns
generated by investments. Investment with lower risk generates lower return and investments
with higher risks generate higher returns. Apprehension of investors investing in risky assets
indirectly increases the wealth of shareholders. This is so because this would generate higher
dividend payment to shareholders that would involve long-term pay offs to customers.

is mainly because of the fall in stock value in market. Tax advantage is the main benefits of
making investment in capital market assets (Harlow & Brown, 2016).
It is essential for corporate managers to make optimum allocation between risky
assets and risk free assets. Some additional costs are involved in making investments in long-
term assets and strategies that should be adopted by organization is incorporating the level of
tolerable risks and generates desirable level of returns. However, it can be said that
investments in risky asset leads to increased business risks and therefore, corporate managers
should not always undertake investments in risk free assets.
