resource, it must be systematically raised form the cheapest source of funds

arrangement of records with the help of which the inflow and outflow of funds
can be efficiently managed, stocks and bonds can be efficiently marketed and
the efficacy of the organization can be greatly improved.
The financial manager in his new role, is concerned
with the efficient allocation of funds. The firm’s investment and financing
decisions are continuous. The financial manager according to Ezra Solomon must
find a rationale for answering the following three questions.
1. How large should an enterprise be and how fast should it grow?
2. In what form should it hold its assets?
3. How should the funds required be raised?
It is therefore clear from the above discussion that firms take different financial decisions continuously in the normal course of business. Liquidity, solvency, profitability and flexibility optimization goals and risk, would lead to reaping of wealth maximization goal.
