31
Net Present Value (NPV)
Difference between the present value of the cash inflows and outflows from a project (If positive then invest)
32
Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
The discount rate which the present value of the cash inflows equals the present value of the cash outflows from project. (IRR should exceed the hurdle rate)
33
Payback Method Formula
Net Initial Investment
-----------------------------------------------------------
Increase in annual net after tax cash flow
34
The bond will sell at a premium when the
stated coupon rate on the bond is greater than the market interest rate on the bond at a given date
35
Commercial paper generally does not have an
active secondary market, it usually sold to the money markets by high creditworthy companies
36
Commercial paper avoids the expense of
maintaining compensating balance with commercial bank, Provide a broad distribution for borrowing, borrowers name becomes more widely known
37
Cost of Capital aka hurdle rate is the minimum return
a company must achieve in order to make an investment financially feasible, which can be calculated using WAAC.
38
The overall cost of capital is
rate of return required to cover the cost of resources employed
39
The optimal capitalization for an organization usually can be determined by
lowest total weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
40
When the mean return is greater than the standard deviation that means
there is a greater reward/ risk ratio.
41
Debt is a cheaper source of financing
than equity, bonds will be the cheapest form of financing. In addition issuing bonds receives a tax deduction for interest paid which further reduces cost
42
In the CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) formula the
beta coefficient measures the volatility or risk inherent investment by % change in stock price
43
Manager have met the responsibility if
the return on capital investment exceeds the rate of return associated with the firms beta factor
44
CAPM model is calculated by taking the
Risk free rate + {Risk premium aka Beta * (Market Rate return - Risk Free Rate)}
45
Calculate Market rate of interest on a one year US treasury bill
Risk free rate of interest + Inflation Premium
46
When determining the risk premium
length of maturity, relative liquidity, and relative security is relevant
47
An example of operating leverage is a
firm cost structure includes a higher degree of operating fixed costs than variable costs by electing to pay salaries instead of commission.
48
Net working capital is the difference
between current assets and current liabilities
49
Determine the appropriate level of working capital requires
offsetting the benefit of current assets and current liabilities against liabilities rising at a faster rate than assets
50
As a company becomes more conservative in its working capital
it increases in the ratio of current assets to units of output
51
Refinancing a short term note payable with a two year note payable would
increase the working capital of the firm
52
The working capital financing policy that finances permanent
current assets with short term debt subjects the firm to the greatest risk of being unable to meet maturity
53
Loan X require 4 equal payments which includes both interest and principal and Loan Y require one lump sum payment at the end of year four. Interest is an expense while principal is a liability,
there for Loan X will be higher in Year 1 due to the principal owed in Year 2 which means a lower working capital, Loan Y does not reflect principal until last payment.
54
The current ratio is measure current assets by current liabilities which will increase if you receive
payment on accounts payable but the ratio will stay unchanged if cash is received from a receivable bc that cash already was included in assets just moved to a different category
55
Refinancing of accounts payable with a two year note payable would
increase capital of a firm
56
When a long term debt instead of short term debt is used to finance inventory purchases
current ratio and total debt ratio both increase
57
Quick ratio includes
marketable securities but excludes inventory and prepaids
58
Increase inventory Turnover lowers
cash conversion cycle
59
Net realizable value method, recognize the price
at which the inventory could be sold less any costs associated with shipping inventory
60
Examples of inventory carrying costs are
insurance, opportunity cost on inventory investment, obsolescence and spoilage
61
Safety stock the minimum level on
inventory that a firm keeps on hand, which depends on sales forecast, customer dissatisfaction for back orders, lead time for stock shipments
62
The optimal level of inventory would be affected by
cost per unit of inventory, cost of placing an order for merchandise, lead time to receive merchandise ordered.
63
When the Economic order quantity (EOQ) model is used for a
firm which manufactures inventory ordering costs consist of production set up
64
The economic order quantity formula (EOQ) assumes
the periodic demand is known
65
Economic Order Quantity is when
Inventory Management approaches orders at the point where carrying costs equate nearest to restocking costs in order to minimize total inventory
66
SCOR model says when
key management processes does assess the ability of suppliers to supply resources falls under "Plan"
67
Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) says a company would include
determining demand requirements, assessing capacity concerns and capabilities, making make/ buy decisions in its planning
68
Potential Problems for a company with just in time inventory are
actual lead time for materials order could be longer than expected, loss of quantity discounts more than the cost of handling and purchasing larger lots of inventory, low quantity inventory. Seasonal fluctuations should not be a problem bc manufactures and suppliers should expect it and coordinate
69
Primary benefit of just in time inventory system for raw materials is
eliminates non value added operations
70
Materials requirements planning has a set of procedures to
determine inventory levels for demand dependent inventory types such as work in process and raw materials
71
Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) says key management processes does
managing accounts receivable and collections from customers falls into Deliver
72
Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) says
key management processes does collecting and processing vendor payments falls into Source
73
Accounts Payable provides a
spontaneous source of financing for a firm
74
Trade credit is subject
to risk of buyer default
75
A firm best delay disbursements through
the use of Drafts
76
Trade credit should still be used if
cost of alternative short term financing is more
77
If a seller extends credit to a purchaser for a longer period of time than operating cycle it in effect
financing more than just the purchaser's inventory needs
78
If a seller extends the payback period on a customer it affects
cost of funds, impact on current customer base of extending terms for certain customers, bank loan covenants on days sales outstanding. No affect on current bad debt.
79
Examples of methods of converting accounts receivable to cash
Cash discounts, collection agencies, and electronic funds transfers
80
A change in credit policy has caused an increase in
sales, increase in discounts taken, decrease in the amount of bad debt, decrease in accounts receivable means the average collection period decreased
81
If a business sells a product and they receive 55% of it by check and 45% by credit card after they receive the invoice all of it goes to
accounts receivable bc they aren't paying it until they receive an invoice not immediate payment
82
Concentration banking is when
company establishes a single bank as its central depository
83
Lockbox System accelerated
accounts receivable because its systems of mailboxes in many locations where customers send payments. Company checks mailboxes and immediately deposits checks
84
A lockbox most likely provides for receivable management
a minimized collection float because its expedites cash inflows
85
The primary reason for a company to agree to debt covenant
limiting the percentage of its LT debt is to reduce the coupon rate on the bonds being sold
86
Stock price will grow at the same rate as the dividend if the company uses
a constant growth dividend discount model to forecast the value of share of common stock
87
Price sales ratio is a valuation of estimation technique that can be adapted
to start up companies and other situations where earnings are very low
88
Capital Budgeting is accelerated method of
depreciation provide tax shields that are advantageous from a present value point of view
89
Estimating Cash Flow for use in capital budgeting, depreciation is utilized in
determining the tax costs or benefit
90
Increase in manufacturing flexibility, improved product delivery and service, reduction in new product development cost are factors in making capital budgeting decisions
development cost are factors in making capital budgeting decisions
91
When buying a new van and selling the old van the relevant costs are
Purchase Price of new van, disposal price of old van
92
Capital Budgeting is based on predictions of an
uncertain future, financing large expenditures, making investments that produce returns over long period of time, selecting among long term investment alternatives
93
Opportunity Cost is the potential benefit lost by selecting a different course of action.
by selecting a different course of action.
94
When buying a new machine the orginal price of the old machine is a
sunk cost that will not change, sunk costs are not relevant in deciding to buy new machines
95
MACRS method of capital budgeting is equal to
straight line depreciation (only timing differs)
96
Evaluating a capital budget project the use of the net present value is generally affected by
initial cost of the project, amount of added working capital needed for operations, amount of the projects associated depreciation tax allowance
97
Calculations of payback period
discounted cash flow, internal rate of return and net present value rely on the forecasting of future data
98
A projects net present value ignoring income tax considerations
is normally affected by proceeds from sale of the asset replaced
99
Net Present Value analysis uses
cost of capital, hurdle rate, and discount rate
100
Using accelerated method instead of straight-line
increases the present value of the depreciation tax shield
101
When the risks of the individual components of a projects cash flows are different an acceptable
procedure to evaluate cash flows is to discount each cash flow using a discount rate that reflects the degree of risk
102
An advantage of net present value over internal rate of return is
NPV can be used when there is no constant rate of return required for each year of the project
103
Limitations of the profitability Index is it
requires detailed long term forecasts of the projects cash flows
104
Profitability Index should be used if capital rationing needs to be considered
when comparing capital projects
105
When net present value is positive (greater than zero) the project should
be accepted, considering only present value is wrong because it ignores cash outflows, considering only IRR is wrong because it could be less than minimum desired rate
106
Internal Rate of Return (IRR) rate of interest where the
net present value is equal to zero
107
Factor of the IRR Formula=
Net Incremental Investment (Investment Required)
_______________________
Net annual cash flows
108
Internal Rate of Return equates the present value of a projects expected
cash inflows to the present value of the projects expected cash outflows
109
Internal Rate of Return decision making models equates
the initial investment with the present value of the future cash inflows
110
A time adjusted rate of return from an investment is
the internal rate of return
111
Present Value Factor =
Investment
____________
Cash Flows
112
Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is equal
to the discount rate
113
IRR and NPV method may be different if the two projects have unequal lives
and the size of the investment for each project is different
114
Internal Rate return method is less reliable than the net present value technique when
there are several alternating periods of net cash inflows and net cash outflows
115
Evaluating capital budgeting analysis techniques
the payback period emphasizes liquidity
116
In capital budgeting the total amount of the initial outlay for the project
is included in the payback model calculation
117
The payback rule ignores all cash flows after
the end of the payback period
118
A limitation of using the discounted payback method
to evaluate a projects is that it ignore cash flows after the payback period
119
Trade Credit provides
the largest source of short term credit for small firms
120
A practitioner considers when determining the sufficiency of the procedures is
In a agreed upon procedures engagement the sufficiency of the procedure is determined based on THE NEEDS AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE INTENDED USERS
121
In a review of interim financial information, the auditor report should
a statement that the auditor is not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the interim financial information (no assurance, reviews give negative assurance)
122
Company best ensure the reliability of its financial data
