Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Capital budgeting is the process of choosing which long-term assets a firm should purchase to best meet the goal of maximizing shareholders' wealth. A firm might need to choose among several processes to produce a product for sale. The manager needs to choose the process that will be most valuable for the company.
Capital structure is choosing the optimal mix of long-term debt and equity to minimize the cost of capital. Here, a manager looking to finance a capital budgeting project might have to choose between a mixture of internal financing and external debt and equity.
Working capital management is the day-to-day management of short-term assets and liabilities, for example, what level of inventory to carry or what credit terms to extend to potential customers.
