Hello Hiveans!
To exist in this thought situation, it's extremely important to well known about finance. Today's post is going to be very interesting, you will be well aware of government finance departments, how they work for governments. Most of people don't know as much about finance. Today I'll tell to the difference between public finance and corporate finance.
So, let's get started.......
Public Finance :
Public finance is relatable to government field. It means that how government is raising thier sources to fulfill their expenditures. It deals with taxing and spending activities which are done by government as well as its is related to public authorities. If we talk about public finance as it's is related to government in which public finance tells us how public done these all spending and inculcate the taxes, all the investigation is done by public finance. It tells that how to allocate any resource of government. It tells us the stability of income and also distribution of all the revenue equally to every field. It shows the government's revenue expenditure debt load in any institution of government. The component of public finance are tax collection, national debt, deficit, budget, expenditures.
- If we see the tax collection, it is the main source of income of any government. We know that as a Pakistani citizen we pay taxes on lots of things which includes, sales tax, income tax, estate tax, property tax, duties and tariffs on import and revenue from any type of public services that are not free. So, tax collection is the main source of income for government.
Move to the next, if we see national debt, this situation arises when spending is greater then revenue, that means nation borrow money from other countries like our Pakistan is borrowing from IMF. When expenditures are more and the revenue is less. In this situation when government unable to return that money back. I'm this situation government have to sell thier some securities to investors and office of debt management take this decision that how much securities has to buy or sell.
Now let's move to the next component of public finance which is deficit, this situation arrives when the government collects revenue from a different sources and its expenditures is more than what it has in treasury.
The budget is a planned government ideas makes according to the revenue they have and want in their treasury in a fiscal year.
If we talk about last component which is expenditures. This is what government spend on each and every sector like education, infrastructure, and social program. The aim is to make a benefit for society and country so that country wealth can increase.
Public finance is non exclusive, its means that its is beneficial for both who pay tax or who is not paying tax. As we know government make many project on high scale like infrastructure, buildings, roads for betterment of country. For all these a revenue on large scale is needed. So for this, allocation of money is right manner is very important. The country which has deficiency of money, there is high crime rate.
Corporate Finance :
Corporate finance is related to how corporations deal with thier funding sources. This deals with funding sources, capital structuring, and investment decision. They deal with activities from capital investment decisions to investment banking. Thier aim is to maximize the shareholders value through proper planning and implementation of those planning strategies. They involve in governing and overseeing financial activities and capital investments decisions. The ultimate vision is to maximize the business with proper planning and implementation within available resources. As well as it also take care of risk to to get hight profit on less risk. It governs mainly three components
1. Investment & capital budgeting :
Investment and capital budgeting includes planning where to place the company's long-term capital assets in order to generate the highest risk-adjusted returns. This mainly consists of deciding whether or not to pursue an investment opportunity, and is accomplished through extensive financial analysis. We can do analysis with financial analysis and accounting whether the particular investment give us profit or not, so this component deals with all these analysis.
2. Capital Financing :
Corporate finance professionals optimize the company's capital structure through the business, equity, debt or mix of both. Long-term funding for major capital expenditures or investments may be obtained from selling company stocks or issuing debt securities in the market thorough investment banks.
3. Dividend And Return Of Capital :
It is related to business's excess earnings. In this component corporate managers decide that either business excess earnings should be retained or invest them for further onward use. They also decide either it is distributed between share holders in the form of dividends. So basically we can say that, capital finance earned on rate of return on capital investment which is greater then company cost of capital.
