A.Agricultural land reform only
B.The acquisition and use of capital by a business corporation
C.Export customs duty rates only
D.Only factory production schedules
Explanation: Henry Hoagland’s definition used in the textbook states that corporate finance deals primarily with the acquisition and use of capital by a business corporation, covering financing, capital structure, and investment decisions.
2Which pair of decisions forms the basis of corporate finance according to the Std XII textbook?
A.Only advertising and packaging decisions
B.Financing decision and investment decision
C.Warehouse colour and cafeteria menu only
D.Recruitment and sports sponsorship only
Explanation: Corporate finance rests on financing decisions (how to raise funds with the right mix of debt and equity) and investment decisions (how to deploy funds so returns exceed the cost of capital / capital budgeting).
3Fixed capital is best described as capital used to:
A.Finance purely speculative day-trading margins only
B.Pay only daily tea expenses of the office
C.Acquire fixed assets used for a longer period and not meant for resale
D.Buy current assets only for one-week resale
Explanation: Fixed capital is invested in long-lived assets such as land, building, plant, and machinery that stay in the business almost permanently and are not held for resale.

A.Only goodwill written off to capital reserve
B.Excess of current assets over current liabilities (funds for day-to-day operations)
C.Only the face value of irredeemable debentures
D.Only authorised share capital on paper
Explanation: Working capital finances short-term operating needs; textbook exercises treat it as excess of current assets over current liabilities needed for smooth daily operations.

A.Only HR leave policies
B.Only office stationery brands
C.Owned capital and borrowed capital used to finance assets
D.Only product packaging colours

B.Large-scale manufacturing using heavy automated machinery

B.The maximum wage rate in the industry only
