Financial Management

WHAT TO EXPECT?
What is Finance
• Every decision that a business makes has financial implications and any
decision that affects the finances of a business is a corporate finance
decision.
• Defined broadly, everything that a business does can be viewed with a
corporate finance lens—Its all about Cost and Benefits AND Risk Return
Trade offs
The Traditional Accounting Balance Sheet

Assets Liabilities

Long Lived Assets –Fixed Assets Short term liabilities – Current Liabilities

Short Lived Assets – Current Assets Debt obligations of firms - Debt

Investment in Securities and other assets- Other Long Term Obligations – Other
Financial Investments Liabilities

Assets that are not physical- Intangible Equity Investments In Firms - Equity
assets
Why must companies have
assets and Liabilities? What
purpose should they serve?
Real Assets and Financial Assets
Investment =Purchase Real
Assets
Financing= Sell Financial Assets
The Objective in Decision Making
• In traditional corporate finance, the objective in decision making is to maximize the value of the firm.
• A narrower objective is to maximize stockholder wealth or the Valuation of the firm. When the stock is
traded and markets are viewed to be efficient, the objective is to maximize the stock price.

How do we do it?
Measuring Returns Right: The Basic Principles
and the Metrics used
• Use cash flows rather than earnings. You cannot spend earnings.
• Use “incremental” cash flows relating to the investment decision, i.e.,
cashflows that occur as a consequence of the decision, rather than
total cash flows.
• Use “time weighted” returns, i.e., value cash flows that occur earlier
more than cash flows that occur later.
The Return Mantra: “Time-weighted, Incremental Cash Flow Return”
From Forecasts to Accounting Earnings
 Measure only Incremental cash flow
 Separate projected expenses into operating and capital expenses: Operating expenses, in
accounting, are expenses designed to generate benefits only in the current period, while
capital expenses generate benefits over multiple periods.
 Depreciate or amortize the capital expenses over time: Once expenses have been
categorized as capital expenses, they have to be depreciated or amortized over time.
 Allocate fixed expenses that cannot be traced to specific projects: Expenses that are not
directly traceable to a project get allocated to projects, based upon a measure such as
revenues generated by the project; projects that are expected to make more revenues
will have proportionately more of the expense allocated to them.
 Consider the tax effect: Consider the tax liability that would be created by the operating
income we have estimated
 Consider the duration for which projected
From Earnings to Cash Flows
• To get from accounting earnings to cash flows:
• you have to add back non-cash expenses (like depreciation and amortization)
• you have to subtract out cash outflows which are not expensed (such as
capital expenditures)
• you have to make accrual revenues and expenses into cash revenues and
expenses (by considering changes in working capital).
• Free cash Flow to FIRM = EBIT(1-T) +Depreciation/amortization – capex –
change in NWC
• FCFF WILL BE DISCOUNTED AT WACC
