This can be further broken down into two elements:\u003Cbr>􀁸 Investment appraisal considers the long-term plans of the business and identifies the right projects to adopt to ensure financial objectives are met. The projects undertaken will nearly always involve the purchase of non-current assets at the start of the process. |\n\n| The financing decision |\n| --- |\n| Before a business can invest in anything, it needs to have some finance. A key financial management decision is the identification of the most appropriate sources (be it long-or short-term), taking into account the requirements of the company, the likely demands of the investors and the amounts likely to be made available. |\n\n\n| The dividend decision |\n| --- |\n| Having invested wisely, a business will hopefully be profitable and generate cash. The final key decision for the financial manager is whether to return any of that cash to the owners of the business (in the form of dividends) and if so, how much should be distributed. The alternative is to retain some of the cash in the business where it can be invested again to earn further returns. This decision is therefore closely linked to the financing decision.\u003Cbr>The decision on the level of dividends to be paid can affect the value of the business as a whole as well the ability of the business to raise further finance in the future. |","cbCaioizTORQerTl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioizTORQerTl","pdf",315060,"English","# The Investment Decision\n## The Financing Decision\n## The Dividend Decision","[{\"question\":\"What are the two main elements of a financial manager's role regarding finance usage?\",\"answer\":\"The financial manager's role involves ensuring finance is used efficiently and effectively to achieve organizational objectives.
