Q

Economic equivalence

A
  • Economic equivalence exists between cash flows that have the same
    economic effect and could therefore be traded for one another.

Q

Capital budgeting

A

= process an organization undertakes to evaluate potential major projects or investments

= also known as investment appraisal

17
Q

Pav back time (PBT)

A

= is the lenght of time it takes to recover the cost of an investment

  • shorter paybacks mean more attractive investments (longer less desirable)
  • link between companysize, ownership and PBT
18
Q

Pros and cons PBT

A

+ simple

– looks only at times and not on profiability

– doesn’t consider the change in money value through time

19
Q

Net present Value (NPV)

A

= the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a period of time (all cashflows )

  • used in capital budgeting and investment planning to analyze profiability of project investment
  • is the result of calculations used to find today’s value of a future stream of payments
20
Q

accaptance rules for NPV

A

NPV > 0

NPVA>NPVB the investment A is better than investment B

21
Q

What means NPV = 0

A

means that the investment is returning exactly the amount of the discount rate.

22
Q

when project NPV < 0 are reasonable

A

strategic project, public project …

23
Q

when NPV is meaningless

A

when there is no positive cashflow (vaccine, water to house)

24
Q

pros and cons of NPV

A

+ takes int account the profiability of project

– extremly dependent on i hardly predictable parameter

25
Q

Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

A

= interest rate at which the net present value of all cash flows (+/-) from a project or investemnet equal zero

→ evaluate the atractiveness of a project or investment

  • discount rate at which NPV = 0
26
Q

Beispiel IRR berechnung

A
27
Q

pros cons IRR

A

+ gives a relative measure

+ it is dependent from the cost of capital

– difficult to calculate

– sometimes impossible to calculate

28
Q

Project balance(PB)

A

= progressive balance of income and expenditures

  • represents in each period the equivalent net present value pawned in the project
  • evaluate the financial solution during project devekopment
29
Q

EXAM: What is the time value of money principle and how does it apply to project selection?

A

-money earned today is worth more than money exprected in future

  1. impact of inflation
  2. inability to invest money

→ can be applied to see, which PJ has the greatest return to an investment of the Company

30
Q

What is an internal rate of return and what advantages and disadvantages are accrued by using it to evaluate projects?

A

-method to evaluate the expected outlays and incomes associated with a new PJ invest opportunity.

If IRR greater than current rate → PJ is worth funding

+ ability to compare alternatives in terms of expected ROI

-suffers from difficulty in conflicting situations, when cash flows follow outflows ???

31
Q

What is the social discount factor?

A

-reflect social view of how future benefits/costs are valued against presend ones

→ puts present value of costs/benefits of the future

  • How much society should invest to limit impacts of climate change in future
  • e.g. how much guarding carbon emission are worth right now, weighing up against benefits of future generation compared to todays costs
32
Q

speaking about debt financing, which are the lender charges?

A
  1. Commitment fee
    - up-front fee charge by lender to borrower
  2. Annual Fee charged by lender to borrower
  3. Costs paid by borrower to lender prio to an at financial close (agreement fee)
33
Q

Speaking about financing, what is the Gearing Ratio? And what can a lender do, if his capital is at risk?

A

-measurement of a PJ financial leverage, which demonstrates degree of fundedment by Debt/Equity financing

→ (long term debt + short term debt) / shareholders equity

Require covenants that prohibit the payment of dividends

o Require that excess cash flow be applied to debt repayment

o Place restrictions on alternative uses of cash

o Require investors to put more equity into the project
