![]() ![]() You can invest $1,000 each in 100 houses. In this case you expect to earn $1,000 cash flow (or profit) over the year. You will sell all investments at the end of the year.Īssume interest rates and taxes are 0% (this is only saves us from immaterial calculations). You are able to borrow up to a maximum of 100-to-1 leverage. There are 100 houses, each house costs $100,000, and their prices will increase by 1% over the next year.

They consider reward (profit and cash flows) without considering the risk it takes to maximize them. That is the problem with these possible measures. You can't have one without the other, and so you can't consider the reward without also considering the risk you must take to earn that reward. In finance and investments risk is balanced with reward. The larger problem with measures such as maximizing profit or cash flowsis that the they lack balance. Maximizing shoreholder wealth is not ambiguous. In other words these measures are ambiguous. Relatively minor problems with these goals relate to how to measure the cash flows-should they be the average cash flow over some period (and what period)?
