Financial Management & Capital Budgeting Flashcards
working capital
current asset - current liab
cash conversion cycle (CCC)
aka net operating cycle
measures # of days from when businesses pay for its supplies to when business collects cash from sale of finished goods
shortening CCC improves profitability bc larger CCC requires business to use more financing.
CCC = ICP + RCP - PDP
ICP
inventory conversion period
avg number of days required to convert inventory to sales
ICP = avg inventory/COGS per day(sometimes sales per day)
RCP
receivable collection period
avg number of days to collect a/r
RCP = avg AR/avg credit sales per day
PDP
accounts payable deferral period
avg number of days between buying inventory and paying for that inventory
PDP = avg payable/ purchases per day (or COGS/365)
CCC (net operating cycle)
- receive supplies from suppliers
- pay suppliers
- sell finished goods on credit
- collect receivables
business keep cash for serveral purposes
- operations - pay for ordinary expenses
- compensating balances - bank required min amt in checking balance
- trade discounts - quick payment of bills may result in early payment discounts
- speculative balances - take advantage of unexpected business opportunities
- precautionary balance -s for emergencies
float
time it takes checks to be mailed, processed and cleared.
managing cash requires maximum float on pmt to others and minimize float on receipts from others
pay by draft (3 party instruments)
customer pay by check for slower processing
zero balance accounts
bank offer these acct to notify customer each day of checks presented for payment and transfer only the funds needed to cover them.
concentration banking
customer pay local branches instead of main offices so business get heir money faster, so theres less floating.
lock box system
customer send payment directly to bank to speed up deposits and increase internal control over cash
electric fund transfers
customer pay electronically for faster processing. (using debit card, eliminate float)
treasury bill
T-Bills
obligation of Us govt.
maturity date under 1 year
zero coupon (no interest pmt), but instead receive “interest” by buying sec. at discount from value that will be paid at maturity.
MOST liquid sec. in the world. no risk of capital losses, even if sell before maturity.
treasury notes
us govt oglibations
mat. date b/w 1-10 years
Treasury notes pay coupons (interest payments) semiannually
treasury bond
same as notes but maturities over 10 yrs.
treasury inflation-indexed securities (TIPS)
used to have the word protected (P) now replaced by “indexed”
are treasury notes and bonds that pay a fixed real rate of interest by adjusting the principal semi-annually for inflation.
federal agency securities
offering that may or may not be backed by full faith and credit US govt.
do not trade as actively as treasury securities, but pay slightly higher rates.
certificates of deposits (CD)
time deposits at banks with limited govt insurance.
interest are higher on CDs than on US govt sec.
for amounts lower than FDIC limits, they are not as liquid
for amounts higher than FDIC limits, they are not as safe
commercial paper
promissory notes issued by corps with lives up to 9mths
bankers’ acceptances
drafts drawn on banks that are payable at specific future due dates, usually 30-90 days after being withdrawn.
usually generated to pay for goods across international borders and trades in secondary markets at discount period to their due dates
money market mutual funds
they invest in instruments with short maturities (under one year)
maintain stable value for investors
during crisis, fed reserve provided temporary insurance for these.
short term bond mutual fund
they invest in instruments with maturities under 5 years,
generate higher returns than money market fund
but has potential for fluctuation in value
stocks and bonds
offer higher potential return
greater risk (of losses, up to whole amount invested)
managing receivables
- credit period - time buyers have to make pmts (30 days)
- discounts (2net10)
- credit criteria
- collections policies (method to collect on receivables thats late)
seasonal dating
referring to credit period
induce customer to buy early but not requiring pmt until selling season begins.
to generate immediate cash
- pledging - business obtains loan by offering receivable as collateral
- assignment of a/r - borrower assign a/r for cash. must pay interest and service charge
- factoring w/o recourse- sell receivable, (buyer accepts noncollection and charges fee for accepting that risk) (improves a/r turnover)
material requirements planning (MRP)
computerized system that uses demand forecasts to manage production of finished goods and required inventory levels for various raw materials.
reorder point
avg daily demand x avg lead time = reorder point without safety stock
25 units a day
10 days to fill order
= need to reorder when theres 250 units left.
economic order quantity (EOQ)
how to calculate APPROPRIATE quantity to order
annual usage of inventory (A)
cost of placing an order (P)
cost of storing (S)
EOQ = squareroot [(2AP)/S]
just in time (JIT)
order as little as possible
order as close to time inventory are needed as possible
- use when cost of storing inventory is high
- lead times are low
- needs for safety stock are low bc good relationship w supplier bc reliable
- cost per order is low
good produced on demand rather than base don long range forecast of sales
blackflush approach
part of JIT
cost assigned to jobs will not be tracked in much detail
- all manuf. cost are charged directly to COGS since little or no inventory is expected to remain at any point
- at end of acct. period, company determine if there’s any inventory
- if inventories exist at reporting date, cost are allocated from COGS to inventory accounts
cycle counting
counting small subsets of inventory in specific locations
inventory turnover ratio
COGS/ avg inventory
of days of supply in avg inventory
360/inventory turnover
PV of an amount (lump sum)
single cash flow that will occur at future date. find its equivalent today.
or how much you need to invest today to get certain amount in future.
PV of ordinary annuity
value today of repeated cash flows with amounts paid at END of period.
PV of annuity due
value today of repeated cash flows with amounts paid at BEG. of period.
RENT
capital budgeting techniques
payback period
internal rate of return (IRR)
accounting rate of return
NPV
pay back period
years =initial investment/inflows (minus operating exp, exclude depreciation)
does not consider time value of money
The payback method is applied by dividing an initial investment amount by the undiscounted periodic cash inflows to determine the number of periods required to recover the investment.
DEPRECIATION IGNORED
IRR
internal rate of return
= investment/annual cash flows
rate at which PV of annual cash INflows equals investment.
what PV factor to use to get inflows to equals outflow.
outflow will be PV of 1 since it’s being paid today.
accounting rate of return
=accounting income/avg investment
NPV
PV cash inflow
- initial investment
= NPV
if + thats good
if - thats bad
3/15 net 45
3% discount if paid within 15 days
or else due in 45 days
prime rate
rate lenders charge customers.
usually 3% above the federal fund rate.

callable bond
borrower may repay bondholder before normal mat. date (force to redeem)
requires borrower to repay bondholder some premium over face value of bond
stated rate
fixed int. pmt
coupon rate
face rate
nominal rate
current yield
=annual interest paid/bond market price
zero coupon bond
no coupon(int) pmt but only pay face value at date of mat.
ex: short term US treasury bill
sell at discount
floating rate bond
dont have fixe coupon pmt
pmt fluctuate with some general indexed int rate.
reverse floaters
pmts increase when general interested rate index goes down and pmt decrease when index goes up.
registered bond
borrowers has names and address of bond holder, so they can send pmt directly to bondholder (not through broker)
junk (high yield, speculative grade) bond
issued by companies with shitty credit ratings. they’re more likely to default, so that’s why they pay higher interest rate.
primary market for CM
new issues market (initial price offering IPO)
secondary market for CM
where already outstanding shares are resold
over the counter market for CM
market for unlisted securities
preferred stock
cumulative div
if bus. skips pref. div in arrears for any period, bus must pay all previously skilled div before pay any div to CM shareholders
preferred stock - participation
pref. stockholders receive higher div when common div are increased.
degree of operating leverage (DOL)
= % change in EBIT (earnings before interest an tax)

G/L on OCI
valuing derivatives
on public market: at quoted price
not on public market: fair value using:
- black scholes : used to est. the value of stock options
- monte carlo simulations
- binomial trees
- zero coupon method: used to est. value of int. rate swaps
cost of capital
is the weighted average of the various financing sources: (40% x 8%) + (60% x 10%) = 9.2%.
credit risk
risk that the counterparty to a contract will fail to honor its obligations
Legal risk
is the risk that legal or regulatory action will invalidate the derivative.
Market risk,
applicable to derivatives acquired for speculation purposes, is the risk that adverse changes will affect the fair value of the derivative.
investment turnover
=sales/avg investment
the profitability index
Profitability index is the ratio of the present value of the cash inflows to the initial cost of a project. Profitability index is the best method for initial ranking of independent projects under capital rationing.
residual income
A) =income - exp - rate of return
rate of return = rate * asset $$
B) =net income minus the required return on investment
C) =operating income - imputed interest on invested capital
D) =operation profit – interest on investment
net present value (NPV)
Net present value is the difference between the present value of the proceeds from the cash flows generated by an investment, including its sale, MINUS the initial cost of the investment.
return on investment
ROI
=(revenue - expenses)/ avg assets
OR
=operating profit / investment
=net income / amount invested
weighted-average cost of capital (WACC)
aka hurdle rate
sum(Proportion of capital structure * Cost of capital)
return on sale
=Net income / Sales
“profit”
return on sale (net income)= return on sales % * sales
return on asset
= net income/avg total asset
Economic value added equals
net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) minus the costs of financing,
cost of financing equals the weighted average cost of capital times the difference of total assets minus current liabilities.
The economic value-added is a financial measure of the value being created in a company in excess of its required return on capital. It is the income that remains after the cost of all capital. The cost of debt is included in the calculation of income, which is further reduced by the required return on assets to provide the economic value added.
Treasury bill market rate
Risk free rate + Inflation premium
operating profit margin
=operating profit/sales
=EBIT/sales
operating profits
earnings before interest and tax (EBIT)
collection float
Collection float is the lapse between the time money is collected and when it can be spent
measure of the volatility of an investment
standard deviation
Credit default swap (CDS)
holder pays premiums periodically
CDS issuer pays only if the underlying bond defaults
protect holders against credit risk
CDS are not very liquid, or do not exist at all, for smaller issues.
CDS protect from bond (credit) defaults
PERT (program evaluation and review technique)
slack time
slack time represents the difference between the time it takes a task to be completed and the longer amount of time between when the process can be started and when it needs to be completed without causing a delay in the project.
market capitalization
is fair market value of equity
