Verified step by step guidance

Understand the four main financial objectives of a firm: These typically include ensuring liquidity, achieving profitability, maximizing shareholder wealth, and managing risk effectively. Minimizing tax liability is not considered one of the primary financial objectives.

Review the concept of liquidity: Liquidity refers to a firm's ability to meet its short-term obligations and is a critical financial objective to ensure smooth operations.

Examine profitability: Profitability is the ability of a firm to generate earnings over time, which is essential for sustainability and growth.

Analyze shareholder wealth maximization: This objective focuses on increasing the value of the firm for its shareholders, often through stock price appreciation and dividends.

Identify the outlier: Minimizing tax liability, while important for financial planning, is not one of the four main financial objectives of a firm. It is a secondary consideration rather than a primary goal.
