Concept of FV, PV,
Rate, Nper Calculation of FV, PV,
Rate, Nper Concept of interest
rate, compounding rate, discount rate
In class exercise
(conceptual) 1.
What is the time value of money? a) The value of money decreases
over time. b) The concept that money available today is worth more than the
same amount in the future. c) The value of money remains
constant regardless of time. Answer: B Explanation:
The time value of money states that money available today is worth more than
the same amount in the future due to its potential earning capacity. 2.
Which
factor connects the present value of money to its future value? a) The interest rate b) The inflation rate c) The exchange rate Answer: A Explanation:
The interest rate, also known as the discount rate, connects the present
value of money to its future value through the process of compounding. 3.
What
does the future value of money represent? a) The value of money in the past b) The value of money at present c) The value of money in the future Answer: C Explanation:
The future value of money represents the value of a sum of money at a future
point in time, considering the effects of compounding. 4.
How
does compounding affect the future value of money? a) It decreases the future value. b) It has no effect on the future
value. c) It increases the future value. Answer: C Explanation:
Compounding refers to the process where the future value of an investment
grows exponentially over time due to the accumulation of interest. 5.
Which
equation represents the future value of a single sum of money? a) FV = PV / (1 + r)^n b) FV = PV * (1 + r)^n c) FV = PV - (1 + r)^n Answer: B Explanation:
The formula FV = PV * (1 + r)^n calculates the future value (FV) of a present
sum of money (PV) compounded over 'n' periods at an interest rate (r). 6.
How
does increasing the number of compounding periods per year affect the future
value of money? a) It decreases the future value. b) It has no effect on the future
value. c) It increases the future value. Answer: C Explanation:
Increasing the number of compounding periods per year results in more
frequent interest accrual, leading to a higher future value of money. 7.
What
role does the period play in calculating the future value of money? a) It determines the interest
rate. b) It indicates the present value. c) It represents the number of
years or compounding periods. Answer: C Explanation:
The period refers to the number of years or compounding periods over which
the future value of money is calculated. Chapter 6 Time Value of Money – Part

Chapter 7 Bond
Pricing
Part I - Yield Curve http://finra-markets.morningstar.com/BondCenter/Default.jsp Or at https://www.gurufocus.com/yield_curve.php In Class Exercise based on the yield curve of 3/14/2024
(FYI only) 1.
Why does the 1-month yield exceed the 10-year
yield? a) Long-term
bonds are inherently riskier, leading to higher yields. b) Investors
prefer short-term investments due to greater liquidity. c) Central bank
policies exert stronger influence on short-term interest rates. Answer: c Explanation:
Central banks often adjust short-term interest rates to manage economic
conditions and inflation. Therefore, changes in short-term yields are more
responsive to central bank actions compared to long-term yields, resulting in
the 1-month yield exceeding the 10-year yield. 2.
2. Why might the 30-year yield be lower than the
1-year yield? a) Investors expect lower inflation rates over the
next 30 years compared to the next year. b) Long-term bonds are perceived as safer
investments, leading to lower yields. c) Central bank policies are more accommodative to
long-term borrowing. Answer: a Explanation:
The yield curve can invert when investors anticipate lower inflation rates
over the long term. In such cases, they may demand lower yields for long-term
bonds like the 30-year yield compared to short-term bonds like the 1-year
yield. This inversion can signal expectations of economic slowdown or
recession. 3.
Which factor could contribute to the 2-year yield
being lower than the 1-month yield? a) Market
anticipation of future interest rate hikes in the short term. b) Central bank
interventions favor long-term borrowing. c) Long-term
bonds offer higher yields to compensate for risks. Answer: a Explanation:
If the market anticipates interest rate hikes in the near future, short-term
yields may rise, causing the 1-month yield to exceed the 2-year yield. 4.
Why might the 30-year yield be higher than the
10-year yield? a) Investors
anticipate higher inflation rates over the next 30 years. b) Long-term
bonds are perceived as riskier investments, leading to lower yields. c) Long-term
bonds are subject to increased uncertainty and volatility, resulting in
higher yields. Answer: c Explanation:
Long-term bonds, such as the 30-year yield, are exposed to greater
uncertainty and volatility over an extended period compared to shorter-term
bonds like the 10-year yield. This heightened risk and uncertainty lead
investors to demand higher yields as compensation, resulting in the 30-year
yield being higher than the 10-year yield. 5.
Why might the 2-year yield be higher than the
30-year yield? a) Investors
anticipate higher short-term inflation rates compared to long-term inflation
rates. b) Investors
demand more long-term bonds due to higher economic risk. c) Long-term
bonds are perceived as safer investments, leading to lower yields. Answer: b Explanation:
The 2-year yield might exceed the 30-year yield because investors seek the
relative safety of longer-term investments amid higher economic risk. During
periods of economic uncertainty or volatility, investors may prefer long-term
bonds as a hedge against short-term market fluctuations. This increased
demand for long-term bonds can drive up the price of the 30-year bonds, and
drive down their yields, causing the 30-year yield to be lower than the
2-year yield. The yield curve is inverted! 6.
Why might the 1-month yield be more influenced by
changes in central bank policies than the 2-year yield? Options: a) Short-term
bonds are directly impacted by adjustments in key interest rates set by
central banks. b) Long-term
bonds are less responsive to economic indicators. c) Investors
prefer short-term investments due to higher liquidity. Answer: a Explanation:
Short-term yields are directly affected by changes in key interest rates set
by central banks, making them more responsive to central bank policies
compared to longer-term yields. 7.
Why might an inverted yield curve occur, where
short-term yields are higher than long-term yields? a) Investors
anticipate higher short-term inflation rates compared to long-term inflation
rates. b) Investors
demand more long-term bonds due to higher economic risk. c) Long-term
bonds are perceived as safer investments, leading to lower yields. Answer: b Explanation:
An inverted yield curve, where short-term yields exceed long-term yields, can
occur when investors seek the relative safety of longer-term investments amid
higher economic risk. During periods of economic uncertainty or volatility,
investors may prefer long-term bonds as a hedge against short-term market
fluctuations, leading to increased demand and lower yields for long-term
bonds. This phenomenon results in an inverted yield curve, which is often
interpreted as a signal of impending economic downturn or recession. 8.
What typically characterizes a normal yield curve? a) Short-term
yields are higher than long-term yields. b) Long-term
yields are higher than short-term yields. c) Short-term
and long-term yields are approximately equal. Answer: b Explanation:
In a normal yield curve, long-term yields are typically higher than
short-term yields. This upward-sloping curve reflects the expectation of
higher returns for investors who commit their funds for longer periods,
compensating for the additional risk and uncertainty associated with longer
maturities. This pattern is commonly observed in healthy economic
environments where investors anticipate future growth and inflation, leading
to higher long-term interest rates. 9.
What does an inverted yield curve, where short-term
yields exceed long-term yields, typically signal for the economy? a) Accelerated
economic growth and expansion. b) Stable
economic conditions with minimal fluctuations. c) Potential
onset of a recession. Answer: c Explanation:
An inverted yield curve, where short-term yields exceed long-term yields,
often signals the potential onset of a recession. This phenomenon occurs when
investors anticipate lower future growth and inflation, leading to increased
demand for longer-term bonds and driving down their yields. Historically,
inverted yield curves have been reliable predictors of economic downturns, as
they reflect market expectations of weaker economic performance in the
future. As a result, policymakers and investors closely monitor yield curve
inversions as a potential warning sign of impending economic contraction.
Inverted yield curves have been observed before many prior recessions,
including those in the
early 1980s, early 1990s, early 2000s, and the most recent one in 2008. Part II – Bond Definition How

· Among the aforementioned bonds, do you
have a preference? If so, what factors influence your choice? Outlook for Investing in Bonds in
2024 After starting the year recommending that investors focus on
the middle of the yield curve, we began to advise investors to lengthen their
duration in our midyear bond
market update. According to our forecasts, we continue to
think investors will be best served in longer-duration bonds
and locking in the currently high interest rates. https://www.morningstar.com/markets/where-invest-bonds-2024 Market data

(FINRA bond market data) For example:
In class
exercise 1.
What is the coupon payment per year for the bond? a) $18 b) $28 c) $14 Answer: b Explanation:
Coupon payment per year is calculated as (Coupon Rate * Face Value). Here,
Coupon Rate is 2.8% and the Face Value is $1000. So, the coupon payment per
year = 2.8% * $1000 = $28. 2.
What is the yield to maturity (YTM) of the bond? a)
4.87% b)
4.41% c)
3.79% Answer: a Explanation:
Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return anticipated on a bond if it is
held until the end of its maturity. Since the bond is callable, the yield to
call (YTC) would be the more appropriate measure. However, without the call
price or the call premium, it's challenging to calculate the YTC accurately. 3.
When is the next call date for the bond? a)
February 8, 2061 b)
August 8, 2060 c)
March 13, 2024 Answer: b Explanation:
The next call date is provided in the bond information as August 8, 2060. 4.
What is the maturity date of the bond? a)
February 8, 2061 b)
August 8, 2060 c)
March 13, 2024 Answer: a Explanation:
The maturity date is provided in the bond information as February 8, 2061. 5.
Is the bond callable? a) Yes b) No c)
Insufficient information Answer: a Explanation:
The bond information indicates that the bond is callable. 6.
What was the last trade price of the bond? a) $646 b) $280 c)
$1000 Answer: a Explanation:
The last trade price of the bond is provided as 64.60%*1000 = $646. 7.
What is the bond's face value? a)
$64.60 b)
$1000 c)
$2.80 Answer: b Explanation:
The face value of the bond is typically $1000, as it represents the principal
amount repaid to the bondholder at maturity. 8.
What is the current yield of the bond? a)
4.87% b)
4.41% c)
4.33% Answer: c Explanation:
Current yield is calculated as (Annual coupon payment / Current price) * 100.
Here, the annual coupon payment is $28, and the current price is $646. So,
the current yield = ($28 / $646) * 100 ≈ 4.33%.

dividends when assuming dividends go to infinity can indeed be challenging.
To simplify the calculation, we can make the assumption that dividends grow
at a certain 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. https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/wmt Key Data

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. Deriving the Gordon Growth Model Equation
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 |

Chapter 9 Capital Budgeting
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

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 = (800-318.18-289.26)/262.96 = 0.72 So it takes 2 + 0.72 = 2.72 years to pay off the debt of $800. Or use the calculator at https://www.jufinance.com/capital/ Part

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. WACC: 7.50% Year 0 1 2 3 4 CFS -$1,100 $550 $600 $100 $100 CFL -$2,700 $650 $725 $800 $1,400 Answer:

Simple
Rules’ for Running a Business
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 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. |

Week 4 - Chapter 14 Cost of Capital
For class discussion: · What is WACC? · Why is it important? · WACC increases, good or bad to stock holders? · How to apply WACC to figure out firm value?
One option (if beta is given, refer to chapter 13)
Another option (if dividend is given):
WACC Formula

coupon bond) (www.jufinance.com/wacc)
WACC calculator (semi-annual coupon bond) (www.jufinance.com/wacc_1)
WACC Calculator help
videos FYI
Summary of Equations
Discount rate to figure out the value of projects is called WACC (weighted average cost of capital)
WACC = weight of debt * cost of debt + weight of equity *( cost of equity)
Wd= total debt / Total capital = total borrowed / total capital We= total equity/ Total capital Cost of debt = rate(nper,
coupon, -(price – flotation costs), 1000)*(1-tax rate) Cost of Equity = D1/(Po – Flotation Cost) + g D1: Next period dividend; Po: Current stock price; g: dividend growth rate Note: flotation costs = flotation percentage * price
Or if beta is given, use CAPM model (refer to chapter 13) Cost of equity = risk free
rate + beta *(market return – risk free rate) Cost of equity = risk free rate +
beta * market risk premium
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 $)) +g, or Ke = Rrf + Beta*MRP)) Why no tax adjustment like cost of debt? 4) WACC=Cost of capital = Percentage of Debt * cost of debt + percentage of stock * cost of stock = Wd*Kd + We* Ke Meaning: For a dollar raised in the capital market from debt holders and stockholders, the cost is WACC (or WACC * 1$ = several cents, and of course, the lower the better but many companies do not have good credits)
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

Week 5 - Chapter 13 Risk and Return 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.
https://www.zenwealth.com/businessfinanceonline/RR/MeasuresOfRisk.html Exercise: Stock A has the following returns for various states of the
economy: State of the
Economy Probability Stock
A's Return Recession 10% -30% Below
Average 20% -2% Average 40% 10% Above
Average 20% 18% Boom 10% 40% 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% Or, https://www.jufinance.com/return/

Historical returns Holding period return (HPR) =
(Selling price – Purchasing price + dividend)/ Purchasing price 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. · What
Is the Capital Asset Pricing Model?
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. (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/capm.asp) · SML – Security Market Line

************ 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

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
