For one thing, total profits are not as important as earnings per stock.Therefore, wealth maximization is superior in a way that it is based on cash flow, not on the accounting profit.Wealth maximization is superior because it values the duration of expected returns. Since distant flows are uncertain, converting them into comparable values at base period facilitated better comparison of financial projects.</p> | |
