Raising Capital Theory and Evidence

The research shows that the earnings announcements of firms within an industry can impact the share prices of other firms in the same industry. This effect has been labelled as the ‘information transfer effect’. The ‘information transfer effect’ highlights the belief that share prices react to public information emanating from various sources—including

During the 1920's, the North American economy was roaring, but this decade would eventually be put to a stop. In October of 1929, the stock market began its steepest decline to this date in history. Many stock market traders and economists believe and pray that it was a one-shot episode never to be repeated. On the other hand, many financial analysts and other economists believe that the current stock markets are in place to repeat the calamitous errors of the 1920's. In this paper, I will analyze the causes of the crash and discuss the possibilities of it re-occurring.

The United States signaled a new era after the end of World War I. It was an era of hopefulness when many people invested their money that was under the mattresses at home or in the bank into the stock market. People migrated to the prosperous cities with the hopes of finding much better life. In the 1920s, the stock market reputation did not appear to be a risky investment, until 1929.First noticeable in 1925, the stock market prices began to rise as more people invested their money. During 1925 and 1926, the stock prices vacillated but in 1927, it had an upward trend. The stock market boom had started by 1928. The stock market was no longer a long-term investment because the boom changed the investor’s way of thinking (“The Stock Market

replacing some of the existing equity by issuing more debt will increase the value of the firm. If

Since the equity method applies the accrual basis of accounting, when calculating income, the investor increases the investment income account after the investee recognizes income (should this be cited?). The investor increases their account by their proportionate share of income and decreases the investment income account by their portion of the dividends (Hoyle et al., 2017). Additionally, in consolidations, the dividends from the subsidiaries are not transferred to the parent company (Latestaccounting Editorial, 2013). By accounting for dividends this way, it can lead to a less accurate report of true earnings. According to Neuhausen (1982), “[the] lack of cash flow supports the notion that equity earnings without dividends are ‘paper profits’ that reduce the quality of reporting earnings.” Under the equity method, only the underlying net assets reflect the equity in the company which could enhance financial ratios (Roddel, 2016). Say why recording of dividends is bad in one precise sentence… aka takes longer, costs, more, idk what its talking about so you have to come up with it lol.

In this chapter, Wheelan discusses the basics of what we, as citizens should do with our money in order to produce more in the long run. He mentions quite a few steps explaining what you should do in each, but since this assignment is about being descriptive and brief, I’ll only talk about the ones that really caught my eye; raising capital, speculation, and save, invest, repeat. Raising capital talks about how in today’s society credit allows us to spend money that we don’t have (pg. 150). When raising capital we’re collecting and raising the revenue. Collecting from investors through loans, bonds and debit. When talking about speculation in this chapter, the author uses buying a townhouse that is in the same shape as the others around

“When a company issues additional shares, this reduces an existing investor’s promotional ownership in that company” (Diluted Earnings Per Share - Diluted EPS. (2015)) This means that in the case were we found the earnings per share of a company to have decreased as new capital was raised; it led to the investor’s share to have decreased as well, because now, instead of having say 10% of ownership in a company; but because more shares are added so that the company can raise capital, the ownership decreases (unless the investor buys all the additional shares) to say 5%.

Shareholder’s equity would be lower than that shown in 1982 ($318,000) because the company has to pay off interest and principal for many loans. There will be little money left for shareholder’s equity.

The election of 1928 was between Herbert Hoover and Alfred E. Smith, in which Hoover became the 31st president of United States. He kept optimism of the 1920’s afloat, convincing majority of Americans that the economic health would remain stable. At the time, Dow Jones Industrial Average was the most commonly used barometer of the stock market’s success. With stock prices rising, people rushed to buy as many as they could. However, many fell into the trap of speculation, in which stocks were bought without thinking of the risks. People even began buying on margin, in which people would pay a little pick of the stock price, but then borrow the rest of the money. This not only caused many to go into debt, but caused the stock market to slowly decline.

First signs of economic trouble were shown when steel production, house construction, and car sales went down in early 1929, but very few people noticed this as a problem at the time. In March of 1929, the stock market did have a small crash, but Charles E. Mitchell essentially stopped the crash by continuing to loan out money even though many broker were issuing “margin calls. After Mitchell’s actions the stock market began to climb once more. Some economists were giving warning of a possible crash in the future, but they were all dismissed as many people did not want to believe it, especially with the price of stocks soaring shortly after the small crash. However these few economists were right about a future crash, throughout the month of September stock prices fluctuated and eventually crashed on Black Thursday (October, 24, 1929).

The 1987 collapse of stock prices brings to mind visions of the stock market crash of 1929 and the start of the Great Depression. However, the crash of 1987 happened quickly and returned to normal quickly. Despite all of

Under the concept of capital, schools’ role can be best understood as intermediaries where exchange across different forms of capital and creation of new capital take place. In other words, through school, cultural capital and social capital could be exchangeable, and specific capital could be created or adopted. Jamal’s intellectual and athletic talents and aspiration (embodied cultural capital) lead to a higher social status (new social capital for Jamal) through Mailor-Callow (a school). He is able to receive wide recognition due to the platform that Mailor-Callow has provided – essay competition and high school basketball championship series.

Investing in the Stock Market was extremely popular in the “Roaring 20’s,” but no one actually knew the devastating impact the stock market would have on the economy. The Stock Market was purely a “speculative bubble”, where people would take risks in buying and stock markets hoped that prices

Most rely on valuation heuristics involving P/E, PEG, and price-to-sales . The simplicity of using heuristic triggers dependence on valuation heuristics as an alternative for the fundamental valuation. P/E, PEG, and price-to-sales need few variables and use simple formulas. Therefore , the estimates are rather perceptive THUS subject to bias. The cause of these biases arise from weak assumption made towards P/E, PEG, and price-to-sales inputs.

Dilution of shares seems have to have little impact on the EPS of PG shares. Therefore, it is expected that PG shareholders would accept the issuing of shares. However, this information has to be clearly communicated by PG's management to its shareholders in order to gain
