The Long-Term funding strategy relies on long-term debt to finance both capital assets and working capital.<br />

As a result, this strategy reduces risk since there is no need to consider refinancing assets since all funding<br />

is long term.<br />

How would a 'changing rate environment' impact the use <strong>of</strong> this strategy?<br />

<strong>FIN</strong> <strong>571</strong> Week 3 DQ 2 <strong>NEW</strong><br />

Managers must think not only in terms <strong>of</strong> a trade-<strong>of</strong>f or a pecking order theories but remain concerned with<br />

how their financing decisions will influence the practical issues that they must deal with when managing a<br />

business.<br />

Financial flexibility is an important consideration in many capital structure decisions. As you pointed out,<br />

managers must ensure that they retain sufficient financial resources in the firm to take advantage <strong>of</strong><br />

unexpected opportunities as well as unforeseen problems. They try to manage their firms' capital structures<br />

in a way that limits the risk to a reasonable level.<br />

How can managers use leverage and control to support their capital structure decisions?<br />

<strong>FIN</strong> <strong>571</strong> Week 3 DQ 3 <strong>NEW</strong><br />

Short term funding strategy involves various sources <strong>of</strong> short-term financing such as:


Accounts payable (trade credit), bank loans, and commercial paper are common sources <strong>of</strong> short-term<br />

financing.<br />

Accounts payable constituted about 35 percent <strong>of</strong> total current liabilities for all publicly traded<br />

manufacturing firms. The buyer needs to figure out whether it makes financial sense to pay early and take<br />

advantage <strong>of</strong> the discount or to wait and pay in full when the account is due.<br />

Short-term bank loans accounted for about 20 percent <strong>of</strong> total current liabilities for all publicly traded<br />

manufacturing firms. An informal line <strong>of</strong> credit is a verbal agreement between the firm and the bank, allowing<br />

the firm to borrow up to an agreed-upon upper limit.<br />

In exchange for providing the line <strong>of</strong> credit, a bank may require that the firm holds acompensating balance<br />

with them.<br />

What are some other sources <strong>of</strong> short-term financing used with this strategy?<br />

We can determine the value <strong>of</strong> an investment at the end <strong>of</strong> one period (whether it is a month, quarter or year)<br />

investment) at an interest rate <strong>of</strong> i, your investment, or principal, will grow by (1 + i) per dollar invested. The<br />

term (1+ i) is the future value interest factor--<strong>of</strong>ten called simply the future value factor.<br />
