Video https://www.ustreasuryyieldcurve.com/ US Treasuries Yield Curve - October 22, 2024 ·
Inverted Yield Curve: The curve starts high at
the short end, with a peak around 1-month maturity, and then declines,
hitting a low point at around 3 years. This is indicative of an inverted
yield curve, which often signals an impending
economic recession. ·
Steepening Beyond 10 Years: After the 10-year mark,
the curve starts to rise again, indicating investors expect higher returns
for longer maturities, possibly due to anticipated future inflation or uncertainty.

Calculating
the present value of dividends, especially when assuming they extend to
infinity, can be challenging. To simplify, we can assume that dividends grow at a constant rate. Additionally,
we can use the discount rate 'r,' which is based on the Beta and Capital
Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) discussed in Chapter 13. By incorporating these
assumptions, we can streamline the calculation process for determining the
present value of dividends. For dividends that grow at a constant
rate, the Net Present Value (NPV) of dividends can be calculated as: P₀ = D₁ / (r -
g) where:

Consider the valuation of a common stock that
paid $1.00 dividend at the end of the last year and is expected to pay a cash
dividend in the future. Dividends are expected to grow at 10% and the
investors required rate of return is 17%. How much is the price? How much is
the dividend yield? Capital gain yield? 2. The
current market price of stock is $90 and the stock pays dividend of $3 (D1)
with a growth rate of 5%. What is the return of this stock? How much is the
dividend yield? Capital gain yield? Part III: Non-Constant Dividend

Since year 6, you estimate that AAA's free cash flows will
grow at 6% per year. WACC of AAA = 15%
· Calculate the enterprise value for DM Corporation.
· Assume that AAA has $500 million debt and 14 million shares
outstanding, calculate its stock price.
Answer:
FCF grows at 6% ==>
could use dividend constant growth model to get the value at year 5 |
Value in year five = FCF
in year 6 /(WACC - g) |
FCF in year 6 = FCF in
year 5 *(1+g%), g=6% |
FCF in year 6 = 120
*(1+6%) |
value in year five =
120*(1+6%)/(15%-6%) = 1413.13 |
value in year 0 (current
value) =1017.56 = npv(15%, 75, 84, 96,
111, 120+1413.13) |
Note: Po = D1/(r-g) ==> Firm value = FCF1/(WACC-g) = FCFo
*(1+g)/(WACC-g) |
Assume that AAA has $500
million debt and 14 million shares outstanding, calculate its stock price. |
equity value = 1017.56 - 500
= 517.56 millions |
stock price = 517.56 / 14 |
2. AAA pays no dividend
currently. However, you expect it pay an annual dividend of $0.56/share 2
years from now with a growth rate of 4% per year thereafter. Its equity cost
= 12%, then its stock price=?
Answer:
Do=0
D1=0
D2=0.56
g=4%
after year 2 è
P2 = D3/(r-g), D3=D2*(1+4%) è
P2 = 0.56*(1+4%)/(12%-4%) = 7.28
r=12%
Po=? Po =
NPV(12%, D1, D2+P2), D2 = 0.56, P2=7.28. SO Po = NPV(12%, 0,0.56+7.28) =
6.25
(Note: for non-constant growth
model, calculate price when dividends start to grow at the constant rate.
Then use NPV function using dividends in previous years, last dividend plus
price. Or use calculator at https://www.jufinance.com/dcf/
)
3. Required return =12%.
Do = $1.00, and the dividend will grow by 30% per year for the next 4
years. After t = 4, the dividend is
expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.34% per year forever. What is the stock price ($40)?
Answer:
Do=1
D1 =
1*(1+30%) = 1.3
D2=
1.3*(1+30%) = 1.69
D3 =
1.69*(1+30%) = 2.197
D4 =
2.197*(1+30%) = 2.8561
D5 =
2.8561*(1+6.34%), g=6.34%
P4 =
D5/(r-g) = 2.8561*(1+6.34%) /(12% - 6.34%)
Po = NPV(12%, 1.3, 1.69, 2.197,
2.8561+2.8561*(1+6.34%)) /(12% - 6.34%)) = 40

indicator.
Part V: Behavior Finance (FYI)
Understanding
behavioral finance is essential because it explains how psychological biases
and emotions influence investors' decisions, often leading to irrational market
behavior. By recognizing these tendencies, investors and analysts can make
more informed choices, avoid common pitfalls, and better anticipate market
trends driven by human behavior.
Anchoring Game Self-produced Video
• Test
yourself first:
A
stock price jumps to $40 from $20 but it suddenly dropped back to $20. Shall
you buy the stock or not?
• The
concept of anchoring draws on the tendency to attach or "anchor"
our thoughts to a reference point - even though it may have no logical
relevance to the decision at hand.
• Avoiding Anchoring
– Be
especially careful about which figures you use to evaluate a stock's
potential.
– Don't
base decisions on benchmarks
– Evaluate
each company from a variety of perspectives to derive the truest picture of
the investment landscape.
Mental
Accounting Self-produced Video
• Test
yourself
– Shall
you payoff your credit card debt or start saving for a vocation?
– How
do you spend your tax refund?
• Mental
Accounting refers to the tendency for people to separate their money into
separate accounts based on a variety of subjective criteria, like the source
of the money and intent for each account.
Example: People
have a special "money jar" set aside for a vacation while still
carrying credit card debt.
Confirmation Bias Self-produced video
• Confirmation
bias: First impression can be hard to shake
– people
selectively filter information that supports their opinion
– People
ignore the rest opinions.
– In
investing, people look for information that supports original idea
• Generate
faulty decision making because of the bias
Example: investor finds all
sorts of green flags about the investment (such as growing cash flow or a low
debt/equity ratio), while glossing over financially disastrous red flags,
such as loss of critical customers or dwindling markets.
Herding Game Self-produced video
– Example:
Dotcom herd
– The
tendency for individuals to mimic the actions of a larger group.
• Social
pressure of conformity is one of the causes.
– This
is because most people are very sociable and have a natural desire to be
accepted by a group
• The
second reason is the common rationale that a large group could not be
wrong.
– This
is especially prevalent when an individual has very little experience.
Overconfidence:
• Confidence
implies realistically trusting in one's abilities
• Overconfidence
implies an overly optimistic assessment of one's knowledge or control over a
situation.
Disposition
effect Game Self-produced Video
– which
is the tendency for investors to hold on to losing stocks for too long and
sell winning stocks too soon.
» The
most logical course of action would be to hold on to winning stocks to
further gains and to sell losing stocks to prevent escalating losses.
» investors
are willing to assume a higher level of risk in order to avoid the negative
utility of a prospective loss.
» Unfortunately,
many of the losing stocks never recover, and the losses incurred continued to
mount .
Avoiding the Disposition Effect
• When you have a
choice of thinking of one large gain or a number of smaller gains (such as
finding $100 versus finding a $50 bill from two places), thinking of the
latter can maximize the amount of positive utility.
• When you have a
choice of thinking of one large loss or a number of smaller losses (losing
$100 versus losing $50 twice), think of one large loss would create less
negative utility.
• When you can
think of one large gain with a smaller loss or a situation where you net the
two to create a smaller gain ($100 and -$55, versus +$45), you would receive
more positive utility from the smaller gain.
• When you can
think of one large loss with a smaller gain or a smaller loss (-$100 and
+$55, versus -$45), try to separate losses from gains.
Gambler’s
fallacy Game Self-produced Video
– An
individual erroneously believes that the onset of a certain random event is less
likely to happen following an event or a series of events.
Example:
Consider a series of 20 coin flips that have all landed with the
"heads". A person might predict that the next coin flip is more
likely to land with the "tails“.
Slot machines: Every losing pull will bring them that much closer
to the jackpot. But that is wrong. All pulls are independent.
• Example:
– You
liquidate a position after it has gone up in several days.
– You
hold on to a stock that has fallen in several days because you view further
declines as "improbable".
• Avoiding
Gambler's Fallacy
– Investors
should base decisions on fundamental or technical analysis before
determining what will happen.
It is irrational to buy a
stock because you believe it is likely to reverse.

Details
about how to derive the model mathematically (FYI)
The Gordon growth model is a simple discounted cash flow (DCF)
model which can be used to value a stock, mutual fund, or even the entire
stock market. The model is named after Myron Gordon who first published
the model in 1959.
The Gordon model assumes that a financial security
pays a periodic dividend (D) which grows at a constant rate
(g). These growing dividend payments are assumed to continue forever.
The future dividend payments are discounted at the required rate of return
(r) to find the price (P) for the stock or fund.
Under these simple assumptions, the price of the
security is given by this equation:
In this equation, I’ve used the “0” subscript
on the price (P) and the “1” subscript on the dividend (D) to
indicate that the price is calculated at time zero and the dividend is the
expected dividend at the end of period one. However, the equation is
commonly written with these subscripts omitted.
Obviously, the assumptions built into this
model are overly simplistic for many real-world valuation problems. Many
companies pay no dividends, and, for those that do, we may expect
changing payout ratios or growth rates as the business matures.
Despite
these limitations, I believe spending some time experimenting with the
Gordon model can help develop intuition about the relationship between
valuation and return.
The Gordon growth model calculates the present value of
the security by summing an infinite series of discounted dividend payments
which follows the pattern shown here:
Multiplying both sides of the previous equation by
(1+g)/(1+r) gives:
We can then subtract the second equation from the first
equation to get:
Rearranging and simplifying:
Finally,
we can simplify further to get the Gordon growth model equation

1. NPV Excel syntax
Syntax
NPV(rate,value1,value2, ...)
Rate is the rate of discount over
the length of one period.
Value1, value2,
... are 1 to
29 arguments representing the payments and income.
· Value1, value2, ... must be equally spaced in
time and occur at the end of each period. NPV uses the
order of value1, value2, ... to interpret the order of cash flows.
Be sure to enter your payment and income values in the correct sequence.
2. IRR Excel syntax
Syntax
IRR(values, guess)
Values is an array or a reference to cells
that contain numbers for which you want to calculate the internal rate of
return.
Guess is a number that you guess is
close to the result of IRR.
Or, PI =
NPV / CFo +1
Profitable
index (PI) =1 + NPV / absolute value of CFo
3. MIRR( values, finance_rate, reinvest_rate )
Where
the function arguments are as follows:
Values |
- |
An array of values (or a reference to a
range of cells containing values) representing the series of cash flows
(investment and net income values) that occur at regular periods. These must contain at least one negative value
(representing payment) and at least one positive value (representing
income). |
finance_rate |
- |
The interest rate paid on the money used in the cash
flows. |
reinvest_rate |
- |
The interest rate paid on the reinvested cash flows. |

How much is MIRR? IRR? Payback period?
Discounted payback period? NPV?
WACC: 11.00%
Year 0 1 2 3
Cash
flows -$800 $350 $350 $350
Answer:
1)
NPV:
NPV = -800 + 350/(1+11%) +
350/(1+11%)2 + 350/(1+11%)3 = 55.30
Or in excel: = npv(11%, 350, 350, 350)-800 = 55.30
2)
IRR:
So NPV = 0 = -800 +
350/(1+IRR) + 350/(1+IRR)2 + 350/(1+IRR)3 , use Solver,
can get IRR = 14.93%
Or in excel:
3)
PI: profitable index
SO, PI= (350/(1+11%) + 350/(1+11%)2 + 350/(1+11%)3
) / 800 = 1.069
Or PI = NPV/800 + 1 = 55.30/800 + 1 = 1.069
4)
Payback period:
A portion of the third year = (800-350-350)/350 = 100/350 =
0.2857
So it takes 2 + 0.2857 = 2.2857 years to pay off the debt of
$800.
5)
Discounted payback period:
Note: All the cash flows in the above equation should be the
present values.
A portion of the third year = (800-318.18-289.26)/262.96 =
0.72
So it takes 2 + 0.72 = 2.72 years to pay off the debt of $800.
A portion of the third year = (800-315.32-289.26)/262.96 = 0.72
So it takes 2 + 0.72 = 2.72 years to pay off the debt of $800.

Projects S and L, whose cash flows are
shown below. These projects are
mutually exclusive, equally risky, and not repeatable. The CEO believes the IRR is the best
selection criterion, while the CFO advocates the NPV. If the decision is made by choosing the
project with the higher IRR rather than the one with the higher NPV, how
much, if any, value will be forgone, i.e., what's the chosen NPV versus the
maximum possible NPV? Note that (1) “true value” is measured by NPV,
and (2) under some conditions the choice of IRR vs. NPV will have no effect
on the value gained or lost.

= $300; B = $1,900
2) Example: Consider two projects,
A and B, with initial outlay of $1,000, cost of capital of 10%, and following
cash flows in years 1, 2, and 3:
A:
$100 $200 $2,000
B:

Which project should you choose if they are mutually
exclusive? Independent? Crossover rate?
(mutually exclusive: A’s NPV=758.83 >
B’s NPV = 616.45, so choose A; Independent, choose
all positive NPV, so choose both;
Crossover rate = 21.01%. The calculator does not work. Use IRR

Quiz 4- chapter 9 – (no
video prepared; Could use the calculator)
Homework help videos (chapter 9)
From the 20-page cellphone contract to the five-pound employee
handbook, even the simple things seem to be getting more complicated.
Companies have been complicating things for themselves, too—analyzing hundreds of factors when making decisions, or
consulting reams of data to resolve every budget dilemma. But those
requirements might be wasting time and muddling priorities.
So argues Donald Sull,
a lecturer at the Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology who has also worked for McKinsey & Co. and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice LLC. In the book Simple
Rules: How to Thrive in a Complex World, out this week from Houghton
Mifflin Harcourt HMHC -1.36%,
he and Kathleen Eisenhardt of Stanford University claim that straightforward
guidelines lead to better results than complex formulas.
Mr. Sull recently spoke with At Work about
what companies can do to simplify, and why five basic rules can beat a
50-item checklist. Edited excerpts:
WSJ: Where, in the business context,
might “simple
rules” help
more than a complicated approach?
Donald Sull: Well, a common decision that people face in organizations is
capital allocation. In many organizations, there will be thick procedure
books or algorithms–one company I worked with had an
algorithm that had almost 100 variables for every project. These are very
cumbersome approaches to making decisions and can waste time. Basically, any
decision about how to focus resources—either people
or money or attention—can benefit from simple rules.
WSJ: Can you give an example of
how that simplification works in a company?
Sull: There’s
a German company called Weima GmBH that makes shredders. At one point,
they were getting about 10,000 requests and could only fill about a thousand
because of technical capabilities, so they had this massive problem of
sorting out which of these proposals to pursue.
They had a very detailed checklist with 40 or 50 items. People
had to gather data and if there were gray areas the proposal would go to
management. But because the data was hard to obtain and there were so many
different pieces, people didn’t always fill out the checklists completely. Then
management had to discuss a lot of these proposals personally because there
was incomplete data. So top management is spending a disproportionate amount
of time discussing this low-level stuff.
Then Weima came up with guidelines that the
frontline sales force and engineers could use to quickly decide whether a
request fell in the “yes,” “no” or “maybe” category. They did it with five
rules only, stuff like “Weima had to
collect at least 70% of the price before the unit leaves the factory.”
After that, only the “maybes” were sent to management. This dramatically
decreased the amount of time management spend evaluating these projects–that time was decreased by almost a factor of 10.
Or, take Frontier Dental Laboratories in Canada. They were
working with a sales force of two covering the entire North American market.
Limiting their sales guidelines to a few factors that made someone likely to
be receptive to Frontier—stuff like “dentists
who have their own practice” and “dentists
with a website”—helped focus their efforts and
increase sales 42% in a declining market.
WSJ: Weima used five factors—is
that the optimal number? And how do you choose which rules to follow?
Sull: You should have four to six
rules. Any more than that, you’ll spend too much time trying to follow
everything perfectly. The entire reason simple rules help is because they
force you to prioritize the goals that matter. They’re
easy to remember, they don’t confuse or stress you,
they save time.
They should be tailored to your specific goals, so you choose
the rules based on what exactly you’re trying to
achieve. And you should of course talk to others. Get information from
different sources, and ask them for the top things that worked for them. But
focus on whether what will work for you and your circumstances.
WSJ: Is there a business leader
you can point to who has embraced the “simple rules” guideline?
Donald Sull: Let’s look at when Alex Behring took
over America
Latina Logistica SARUMO3.BR +1.59%,
the Brazilian railway and logistics company. With a budget of $15 million,
how do you choose among $200 million of investment requests, all of which are
valid?
The textbook business-school answer to this is that you run the
NPV (net present value) test on each project and rank-order them by NPV. Alex
Behring knows this. He was at the top of the class at Harvard Business School.
But instead, he decided what the most important
goals were. You can’t achieve everything at once. In
their case, their priorities were removing bottlenecks on growing revenues
and minimizing upfront expenditure. So when allocating money, they had a bias
for projects that both addressed the bottleneck problem and, for example,
used existing tracks and trains.
Similarly, the global-health arm of the Gates Foundation gets
many, many funding requests. But since they know that their goal is to have
the most impact worldwide, they focus on projects in developing countries
because that’s where the money will stretch farther.

Video Explaining WACC and WACC Strategies for Different Industries
Company Type |
Debt Level |
WACC Level |
Reasoning |
Example |
Startup |
Low |
High |
Limited cash flows
and high risk make heavy reliance on equity preferable. |
Early-stage tech
startup |
High-Tech |
Low to Moderate |
High |
High risk and growth
potential lead to high WACC; typically funded through equity to avoid debt
burden. |
Biotech firm |
Retail |
Moderate to High |
Moderate |
Moderate, consistent
cash flows allow for higher debt but limited by competitive pressures. |
Supermarket chain |
Utility |
High |
Low to Moderate |
Stable cash flows
and assets allow for high debt levels, which lowers WACC. |
Electric company |
Manufacturing |
Moderate |
Moderate |
Moderate risk; often
uses a balanced approach to debt and equity. |
Automobile

Matured Firm |
High |
Low |
Stable with

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)
WACC
is the discount rate used to evaluate project values.
Formula:
WACC = (Wd * Cost of Debt) + (We * Cost of Equity)
Where:
Cost of Debt
Formula:
Cost of Debt = RATE(nper, coupon, -(price – flotation cost), 1000) * (1 - tax
rate)

In Class Exercise:
A firm borrows money from bond market. The price they paid is $950 for the bond with 5% coupon rate and 10 years to mature. Flotation cost is $40. For the new stocks, the expected dividend is $2 with a growth rate of 10% and price of $40. The flotation cost is $4. The company raises capital in equal proportions i.e. 50% debt and 50% equity (such as total $1m raised and half million is from debt market and the other half million is from stock market). Tax rate 34%. What is WACC (weighted average cost of capital, cost of capital)? (Answer: 9.84%)
1) Why does the firm raise capital from the financial market? Is there of any costs of doing so? What do you think?
2) What is cost of debt?
(Kd = rate(nper, coupon, -(price – flotation costs $)), 1000)*(1-tax rate))
3) Cost of equity? (Ke = (D1/(Price – flotation costs $)) +g, or Ke = Rrf + Beta*MRP))
Why no tax adjustment like cost of debt?
4) WACC=Cost of capital = Percentage of Debt * cost of debt + percentage of stock * cost of stock = Wd*Kd + We* Ke
Meaning: For a dollar raised in the capital market from debt holders and stockholders, the cost is WACC.
Solution:
Cost
of debt = rate(10, 50, -(950-40), 1000)*(1-34%)
Cost
of/equity = 2/(40-4)+10%
WACC
= 0.5*cost of debt + 0.5*cost of equity

Equations (FYI):
1. Expected return and
standard deviation
Given a probability distribution of
returns, the expected return can be calculated using the following equation:
where
https://www.zenwealth.com/businessfinanceonline/RR/ExpectedReturn.html
Given an asset's expected return,
its variance can be calculated using the following equation:
where
The standard deviation is calculated
as the positive square root of the variance.

Stock A's expected return is?
Standard deviation?
Solution:
· Expected return = 10%*(-30%)) + 20%*(-2%) + 40% *10% + 20%*18%
+ 10%*40% = 8.2%
· Standard deviation
= sqrt(10%*(-30%-8.2%)2 +
20%*(-2%-8.2%)2 +40%*(10%-8.2%)2 + 20%*(18%-8.2%)2
+10%*(40%-8.2%)2) = 16.98%

Stock 1:
· Expected return = 10%*(-30%)) + 20%*(-2%) + 40%
*10% + 20%*18% + 10%*40% = 8.2%
· Standard deviation
= sqrt(10%*(-30%-8.2%)2
+ 20%*(-2%-8.2%)2 +40%*(10%-8.2%)2 + 20%*(18%-8.2%)2
+10%*(40%-8.2%)2) = 16.98%
Stock 2:
· Expected return = 10%*(10%)) + 20%*(2%) + 40% *1%
+ 20%*2% + 10%*(-5)% = 1.7%
· Standard deviation
= sqrt(10%*(10%-1.7%)2
+ 20%*(2%-1.7%)2 +40%*(1%-1.7%)2 + 20%*(2%-1.7%)2
+10%*((-5)%-1.7%)2) = 3.41%
Covariance:
· Covariance =
10%*(-30%-8.2%)*(10%-1.7%)+20%*(-2%-8.2%)*(2%-1.7%)+40%*(10%-8.2%)*(1%-1.7%)+20%*(18%-8.2%)*(2%-1.7%)+10%*(40%-8.2%)*((-5%)-1.7%)
= -0.54%
Correlation:
· Correlation = -0.54%/(16.98%* 3.41%) = -0.93

4. CAPM (Capital Asset
Pricing Model) model
· What is Beta? Where to find Beta?
Beta
is a measurement of a stock's price fluctuations, which is often called
volatility, and is used by investors to gauge how quickly a stock's price
will rise or fall. Because beta is calculated from past returns, it's not
considered as reliable a tool to forecast rises in stock prices, and it is
more commonly used by options traders. Beta compares the changes in a
company's stock returns against the returns of the market as a whole. Online
brokerages give investors extensive data on a stock's beta value, and some
free financial news websites also show current beta measurements.
The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
describes the relationship between systematic risk and expected
return for assets, particularly stocks. CAPM is widely used throughout
finance for pricing risky securities and generating expected returns
for assets given the risk of those assets and cost of capital.
Ri = Rf + βi *( Rm -
Rf) ------ CAPM model
· Ri =
Expected return of investment
·
Rf = Risk-free rate
·
βi = Beta of the investment
·
Rm = Expected return of market
·
(Rm - Rf)
= Market risk premium
Investors expect to be compensated for risk and the time
value of money. The risk-free rate in the CAPM formula accounts for
the time value of money. The other components of the CAPM formula account for
the investor taking on additional risk.
The beta of a potential investment is a
measure of how much risk the investment will add to a portfolio that looks
like the market. If a stock is riskier than the market, it will have a beta
greater than one. If a stock has a beta of less than one, the formula assumes
it will reduce the risk of a portfolio.
A stock’s beta is then multiplied by
the market risk premium, which is the return expected from the market
above the risk-free rate. The risk-free rate is then added to the product of
the stock’s beta and the market risk premium.
The result should give an investor the required
return or discount rate they can use to find the value of an
asset.
The goal of the CAPM formula is to evaluate whether a stock is
fairly valued when its risk and the time value of money are compared to its
expected return.
For example, imagine an investor is
contemplating a stock worth $100 per share today that pays a 3% annual
dividend. The stock has a beta compared to the market of 1.3, which means it
is riskier than a market portfolio. Also, assume that the risk-free rate is
3% and this investor expects the market to rise in value by 8% per year.
The expected return of the stock based on the CAPM formula is
9.5%.
The expected return of the CAPM formula is used to discount
the expected dividends and capital appreciation of the stock over the
expected holding period. If the discounted value of those future cash flows
is equal to $100 then the CAPM formula indicates the stock is fairly valued
relative to risk.

************ What is Free Cash Flow **************
What is free cash flow (video)
What is free cash flow (FCF)? Why is
it important?
•
FCF is the amount of cash available from operations for
distribution to all investors (including stockholders and debtholders) after
making the necessary investments to support operations.
•
A company’s value depends on the amount of FCF it can generate.
What are the five uses of FCF?
1. Pay interest on debt.
2. Pay back principal on debt.
3. Pay dividends.
4. Buy back stock.
5. Buy nonoperating assets (e.g., marketable securities,
investments in other companies, etc.)
What are operating
current assets?
•
Operating current assets are the CA
needed to support operations.
•
Op CA include: cash, inventory,
receivables.
•
Op CA exclude: short-term investments,
because these are not a part of operations.
What are operating
current liabilities?
•
Operating current liabilities are the
CL resulting as a normal part of operations.
•
Op CL include: accounts payable and
accruals.
•
Op CL exclude: notes payable, because
this is a source of financing, not a part of operations.
Capital
expenditure = increases in NFA + depreciation
Or,
capital expenditure = increases in GFA
Note: All companies, foreign and domestic, are required to file
registration statements, periodic reports, and other forms electronically
through EDGAR. https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html
In class exercise
1. Firm AAA has EBIT (operating income) of $3 million, depreciation of $1 million. Firm AAA’s expenditures on fixed assets = $1 million. Its net operating working capital = $0.6 million. Calculate for free cash flow. Imagine that the tax rate =40%.
a. $1.2
b. $1.3
c. $1.4
d. $1.5
FCF = EBIT(1 – T) + Deprec. – (Capex + NOWC)
answer:
EBIT $3
Tax rate 40%
Depreciation $1
Capex + NOWC $1.60
So, FCF = $1.2
2. The following information should be used for the following problems:
2014 2015
Sales $ 740 $ 785
COGS 430 460
Interest 33 35
Dividends 16 17
Depreciation 250 210
Cash 70 75
Accounts receivables 563 502
Current liabilities 390 405
Inventory 662 640
Long term debt 340 410
Net fixed assets 1,680 1,413
Common stock 700 235
Tax rate 35% 35%
• What is the net income for 2015? ($52)
