FIFO Cash = LIFO Cash - (Reserve * Tax Rate)

FIFO Equity = LIFO Equity + (Reserve * 1 - T)

A

ROE = NIadj EBT__EBIT__Revenue Avg Assets
EBT EBIT Revenue Avg Assetsadj Avg Equity

Think: TIE A FAG
T: Tax burden
I: Interest burden
E: EBIT margin
A: Asset turnover
F: Financial leverage

Adjustments:

  • *NI:** subtract off earnings from equity investment
  • *Avg Assets:** Subtract off carrying value of equity investment
65
Q

How to treat an operating lease like a finance lease

A

Step 1: Increase assets and liabilities by the PV of remaining payments

Step 2: Remove payment from the income statement and replace

with depreciation expense and interest expense

Example: PV of payments: 30M, discount rate: 10%
Lease term: 6 years, lease payment: 6.9M

  • *Total debt:** increases by 30M
  • *EBIT:** increases $1.9M: 6.9M - (30/6 years)
  • *Interest expense:** increases $3M: ($30M * .10)
