Time Value of Money

Determining Future Value


You are contributing money to an investment account so that you can
purchase a house in five years. You plan to contribute six payments of
P3,000 a year--the first payment will be made today (t = 0), and the final
payment will be made five years from now (t = 5). If you earn 11 percent in
your investment account, how much money will you have in the account five
years from now (at t = 5)?

Determining the Present Value


You have been offered an investment that pays P500 at the end of every 6
months for the next 3 years. The nominal interest rate is 12 percent;
however, interest is compounded quarterly. What is the present value of the
investment?

Financial Statement and Financial Statement Analysis

Financial Statement Analysis - involves careful selection of data from


financial statements in order to assess and evaluate the firm's past
performance, its present condition, and future business potentials.

Objective: The primary purpose of FS analysis is to evaluate and forecast the


company's financial health.. Interested parties, such as the managers,
investors, and creditors, can identify. the company's financial strengths and
weaknesses and know about the (1) profitability of the business (2) firm's
ability to meet its obligations (3) safety of the investment in the business;
and (4) effectiveness of management in running the firm.

Techniques:
1. Horizontal Analysis (trend ratios and percentages)
2. Vertical Analysis (common-size statements)
3. Ratio Analysis
4. Analysis of variation in gross profit and net income 5.
Ratio Analysis - Ratios are calculated from the financial statements to
provide users with relevant information about the firm's liquidity, use of
leverage, asset management, cost control, profitability, growth, and
valuation.

Capital Budgeting
It is the process of identifying, evaluating, planning, and financing capital
investment projects of an organization.
When evaluating projects, identify the following:
1. Net-Investment = Cost/Cash outlay less savings/cash inflows
incidental to acquiring the projects.
2. Cost of Capital – Required rate of return / WACC of financing used /
discount rate
3. Net-Returns – Either accounting net-income or net-cash inflows.

Example:
Ysabelle Corporation is planning to buy production machinery costing
P380,000. The machine's estimated useful life is five (5) years, with a
residual value of P5,000 at the end of its useful life.

Ysabelle Corporation requires a rate of return of 12% and has calculated the
following annual cash inflows, net of income tax, pertaining to the operations
of the new machine:

Year Annual Net-Cash Inflow


1 P240,000
2 120,000
3 80,000
4 80,000
5 80,000

Requirement: Recommend whether the corporation should buy the


production machinery using net-present value, payback period (discounted),
and profitability index.

Cost of Capital and Weighted Average Cost of Capital

 The cost of using funds; it is also called hurdle rate, required rate of
return, cut-off rate.
 The weighted average rate of return the company must pay to its long-
term creditors and shareholders for the use of their funds.

Source Capital Cost of Capital


Creditors Long-Term Debt Rd = interest rate (1-tax rate)
Shareholders:
Preferred Preferred Stock Dividends per share /Current Market
Price or Issue Price
Common Common Stock CAPM:
(new) Risk Free Rate + Beta Coefficient
(Market Return – Risk Free Rate)

Dividend Growth Model:


{Expected Dividends / [Current Price
*(1-Flotation Cost)]} + Growth Rate

Retained Earnings CAPM:


Risk Free Rate + Beta Coefficient
(Market Return – Risk Free Rate)

Dividend Growth Model:


(Expected Dividends / Current Price)
+ Growth Rate

Example:
Avie Corporation is considering a project for the coming year that will require
an investment cost of P10M. The company plans to finance the project by a
combination of debt and equity, as follows:

*Issue P2M of 10-year bonds at a price of 102, with ar interest rate of 10%,
and flotation cost of 3% of par.
*Issue 10,000 5%, preferred stock. The issuance price is P100 per share.
*Use P7M of funds generated from earnings retained in the business.

The expected market rate of return is 14%. The current rate of Treasury Bills
is 8%. The beta coefficient for Aye Corporation is 1.2. The corporate income
tax rate is 30%.

Required: Determine the WACC or the weighted average cost of capital.

Working Capital Management


Management of Accounts Receivable - formulation and administration of
plans and policies related to sales on account and ensuring the maintenance
of receivables at a predetermined level and their collectability as planned.

Objective: To have both the optimal amount of receivables outstanding


and the optimal amount of bad debts.

Trade-off:
1. More credit sales (benefits)
2. Cost of accounts receivable (in terms of collection, interest and bad
debts).

To assess policies and plans, consider these factors:


1. Credit Standards – Criteria that determines which customer will be
granted credit and by how much.
2. Credit terms – such as credit period, discounts for prompt payment
offered and the discount period.

Example:

May Corporation's average annual sales is P6,400,000, 10% of which is cash


sales. The variable cost ratio is 60%. Starting next year, May Corporation will
relax its credit standards. The relaxation in credit standards is expected to
cause the following changes:
 Total credit sales will increase by 20%
 The collection period will increase to 60 days from 45 days.

The variable cost ratio, even for the incremental sales, will be the same as in
the past. The cost of borrowing is estimated at 25% per year. The company
uses 360 days in a year in all its computations.

Required: Recommend whether or not May should relax its credit policy with
supporting calculations.

Management of Inventory - formulation and administration of plans and


policies to efficiently and satisfactorily meet production and merchandising
requirements and minimize costs relative to inventories.

Objective: to maintain inventory at a level that best balances the


estimates of actual savings, the cost of carrying additional inventory,
and the efficiency of inventory control.

Example:
UrbanStyles Apparel estimates that 120,000 buttons will be needed in the
manufacture of their popular clothing line for the upcoming year. Their
supplier has quoted a price of P0.40 per button. UrbanStyles initially planned
to purchase 10,000 units per month, but the supplier cannot guarantee this
delivery schedule. To ensure a steady supply of buttons, UrbanStyles is
contemplating buying all 120,000 units on January 1. UrbanStyles can invest
their cash at an annual rate of 10%.

Required: Recommend the best course of action for UrbanStyles.
