    Milton Friedman, “the Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Profits”
    • 1188 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Milton Friedman, “the Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Profits”

    Friedman argues that "only people can have responsibilities" but that "businesses as a whole” cannot, as they are not persons. Since the corporate executive is an employee of the shareholders, and therefore only “responsible to his employers.” The corporate executive has primary responsibility to his employers to conduct business as they see fit, and manage the business to create the most profit while following the “basic rules of the society”. It is then seen that the corporate executive is acting as a “public employee,” while serving shareholders and should be directed by those shareholders how to spend their money.…

    1) Consider a firm with two classes of zero-coupon debt: senior debt and junior debt. Suppose that the firm’s debt securities both mature at time T1 and the senior ranking debt has a face value of X1 and the junior ranking debt has a face value of X2 . The claims of the senior debt holders are paid first, before the claims of the junior debt holders, who in turn are paid out their claims before the equity holders. The equity holders have limited liability. (a) Suppose that the total firm value at maturity is denoted as VT1 . Find the payoff of the shareholders, the senior debt holders, and the junior debt holders at time T1 . (b) Hence find the expressions for the value of the securities issued by the firm at time 0 to both the equity holders and the debt holders under the standard Black-Scholes framework.

    She worked for unemployed women and the homeless, and was actively involved with feminist groups and journals. Procter's literary career began when she was a teenager; her poems were primarily published in Charles Dickens's periodicals Household Words and All the Year Round and later appeared in book form. Her charity work and her conversion to Roman Catholicism appear to have strongly influenced her poetry, which deals mostly with such subjects as homelessness, poverty, and "fallen women". Procter was the favourite poet of Queen Victoria. Her poetry went through numerous editions in the 19th century; Coventry Patmore called her the most popular poet of the day, after Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Nonetheless, by the early 20th century her reputation had diminished. The few modern critics who have given her work attention argue that her work is significant, in part for what it reveals about how Victorian women expressed otherwise repressed feelings. Procter never married, and some of her poetry has prompted speculation that she was a lesbian. She died oftuberculosis at the age of 38.…
