Analyzing the Firm’s Cash Flow
• Cash flow (as opposed to accounting “ profits”) is the primary ingredient in any financial valuation model.
• From an accounting perspective, cash flow is summarized
in a firm’s statement of cash flows.
• From a financial perspective, firms often focus on both
operating cash flow, which is used in managerial
decision-making, and free cash flow, which is closelymonitored by participants in the capital market.

Depreciation
• Depreciation is the portion of the costs of fixed assets
charged against annual revenues over time.
• Depreciation for tax purposes is determined by using the
modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS).
• On the other hand, a variety of other depreciation methods
are often used for reporting purposes.

Depreciation: An Example
Baker Corporation acquired a new machine at a cost of
$38,000, with installation costs of $2,000. When the
machine is retired from service, Baker expects that it will
sell it for scrap metal and receive $1,000.What is the depreciable value of the machine?
– Regardless of its expected salvage value, the depreciable value
of the machine is $40,000: $38,000 cost + $2,000 installation
cost.

7/684-7
Depreciation: DepreciableValue and Depreciable Life
• Under the basic MACRS procedures, the depreciable
value of an asset is its full cost, including outlays for
installation.
• No adjustment is required for expected salvage value.
• For tax purposes, the depreciable life of an asset is
determined by its MACRS recovery predetermined
period.• MACRS property classes and rates are shown in
Table 4.1 and Table 4.2 on the following slides.

Depreciation: An Example
Baker Corporation acquired, for an installed cost of $40,000, a
machine having a recovery period of 5 years. Using the applicable
MACRS rates, the depreciation expense each year is as follows:

The Orientation of Financial Analysis
• Accounting is concerned with creating financial statements
• Finance is concerned with using the datacontained within financial statements to makedecisions
– The orientation of financial analysis is critical and
investigative

The Statement of Cash Flows
• Income doesn’t represent cash in the firm’s pocket
• The Statement of Cash Flows (AKA: Statement ofChanges in Financial Position) provides info on the
actual movement of cash in and out of the company• Constructed from the Balance Sheet and Income
Statement
8/18/2019 04 - Chapter 4 Cash Flow Financial Planning

How the Statement of Cash FlowsWorks—Preliminary Examples
• Requires two consecutive balance sheets andone income statement from which thestatement of cash flows is generated
• Takes net income for the period and makesadjustments
• Then takes the balance sheet items andexamines the changes

How the Statement of Cash FlowsWorks—Preliminary Examples
Q: Suppose Joe Jones has after-tax income of $50,000 and spends $40,000 onnormal living expenses during the year. Also assume that at the beginning ofthe year he had a bank balance of $10,000 and no other assets or liabilities.Further, assume that during the year he bought a new car costing $30,000,financing $25,000 at the bank with a car loan. At the end of the year he has$15,000 in the bank. Generate a Statement of Cash Flows for Joe.
A: Inflows of cash are known as sources and outflows are known as uses. TheStatement of Cash Flows will show how Joe ended up with $15,000 in his bankaccount.
Joe generated a net source of cash of $10,000, or the difference between hisincome and normal living expenses. He also experienced an inflow of $25,000
from the car loan and used $30,000 to buy the car. Thus, Joe’s Statement ofCash Flows is:

Constructing the Statement of CashFlows
• Operating Activities – Involve the Income Statement and current
Balance Sheet accounts
– Involves activities firm does on a day-to-day basissuch as
• Buying inventory
• Producing and selling product
• Paying expenses and taxes
– Collecting credit sales
Focus of activitiesis generating net
income—the
beginning of acash flowstatement.
Money from operating transactions runs through current balancesheet accounts

Constructing the Statement of CashFlows
• Thus, for Belfry the cash from Operating Activities is
Net Income $1,000
+ Depreciation $500
= Operating Income $1,500
+ increase in Receivables $100
- increase in Inventory ($1,200)
+ increase in Payables $600- decrease in Accruals ($100)
Cash from operating activities $900
8/18/2019 04 - Chapter 4 Cash Flow Financial Planning
23/68
Constructing the Statement of CashFlows
• Investing Activities
– Typically include purchasing Fixed Assets
– Examine the change in GROSS Fixed Assets, not net
• Because the net value includes an adjustment for depreciation
Depreciation has already been included under operating activities
– Thus, for Belfry the cash from investing activities is
• Purchase of Fixed Assets ($2,000)
8/18/2019 04 - Chapter 4 Cash Flow Financial Planning

Constructing the Statement of CashFlows
• Financing Activities
– Deal with the capital accounts, long-term debt andequity
– Thus, for Belfry the cash from financing activitiesis
Increase in long-term debt $1,200
Sale of stock $800Dividend paid ($500)
Cash from financing activities $1,500
8/18/2019 04 - Chapter 4 Cash Flow Financial Planning

Constructing the Statement of CashFlows
• The Equity and Cash Accounts – The change in equity is not included because the changes
are reflected elsewhere in the Statement of Cash Flows
• Net Income is included in Cash Flows from Operations
• Sale of stock and dividends are considered under financingactivities
– The change in the cash account isn’t considered becausethe sum of cash flows from operations, financing activities
and investing activities must equal the change in the cashaccount

Operating Cash Flow
• A firm’s operating Cash Flow (OCF) is the cash flowa firm generates from normal operations — from the
production and sale of its goods and services.
• OCF may be calculated as follows:
NOPAT = EBIT × (1 – T)
OCF = NOPAT + Depreciation
OCF = [EBIT × (1 – T)] + Depreciation
8/18/2019 04 - Chapter 4 Cash Flow Financial Planning

4-31
Operating Cash Flow (cont.)
• Substituting for Baker Corporation, we get:
• Thus, we can conclude that Baker ’s operations aregenerating positive operating cash flows.
OCF = [$370 × (1 – .40)] + $100 = $322
8/18/2019 04 - Chapter 4 Cash Flow Financial Planning
32/68
4-32
Free Cash Flow
• Free cash flow (FCF) is the amount of cash flow
available to investors (creditors and owners) after the firm
has met all operating needs and paid for investments in
net fixed assets (NFAI) and net current assets (NCAI).
• Where:
FCF = OCF – NFAI – NCAI
NFAI = Change in net fixed assets + Depreciation
NCAI = Change in CA – Change in (A/P + Accruals)
8/18/2019 04 - Chapter 4 Cash Flow Financial Planning
33/68
4-33
Free Cash Flow (cont.)
• Using Baker Corporation we get:
• Thus, the firm generated adequate cash flow to cover allof its operating costs and investments and had free cash
flow available to pay investors.
FCF = $322 – $300 – $0 = $22
NFAI = [($1,200 – $1,000) + $100] = $300
NCAI = [($2,000 – $1,900) - ($800 - $700)] = $0

The Financial Planning Process
• The financial planning process begins with long-term,
or strategic, financial plans that in turn guide the
formulation of short-term, or operating, plans and
budgets.
• Two key aspects of financial planning are cash planning
and profit planning.
– Cash planning involves the preparation of the firm’s cash budget.
– Profit planning involves preparation of pro forma statements.
8/18/2019 04 - Chapter 4 Cash Flow Financial Planning
35/68
4-35
The Financial Planning Process:Long-Term (Strategic) Financial Plans
• Long-term (strategic) financial plans lay out acompany’s planned financial actions and the anticipatedimpact of those actions over periods ranging from 2 to 10years.
• Firms that are subject to high degrees of operatinguncertainty, relatively short production cycles, or both,tend to use shorter planning horizons.
• These plans are one component of a company’s integratedstrategic plan (along with production and marketing plans) that guide a company toward achievement of itsgoals.
8/18/2019 04 - Chapter 4 Cash Flow Financial Planning
36/68
4-36
The Financial Planning Process:Long-Term (Strategic) Financial Plans
• Long-term financial plans consider a number of financialactivities including:
– Proposed fixed asset investments
– Research and development activities
– Marketing and product development
– Capital structure
– Sources of financing
• These plans are generally supported by a series of annual
budgets and profit plans.

The Financial Planning Process:Short-Term (Operating) Financial Plans
• Short-term (operating) financial plans specify short-term financial actions and the anticipated impact of those
actions.
• Key inputs include the sales forecast and other operatingand financial data.
• Key outputs include operating budgets, the cash budget,
and pro forma financial statements.
• This process is described graphically on the following
slide.

The Financial Planning Process:Short-Term (Operating) Financial Plans
• As indicated in the previous exhibit, short-term financial planning begins with a sales forecast.
• From this sales forecast, production plans are developed
that consider lead times and raw material requirements.• From the production plans, direct labor, factory overhead,
and operating expense estimates are developed.
• From this information, the pro forma income statementand cash budget are prepared — ultimately leading to thedevelopment of the pro forma balance sheet.

Cash Planning: Cash Budgets
• The cash budget or cash forecast is a statement of thefirm’s planned inflows and outflows of cash that is used toestimate its short-term cash requirements.
• Typically, the cash budget is designed to cover a 1-year period, divided into smaller time intervals.
• The more seasonal and uncertain a firm’s cash flows, thegreater the number of intervals.

Cash Planning:Cash Budgets (cont.)
• A sales forecast is a prediction of the sales activity during a given period, based on external and/or internal data.
• The sales forecast is then used as a basis for estimating the monthlycash flows that will result from projected sales and from outlays
related to production, inventory, and sales.• The sales forecast may be based on an analysis of external data,
internal data, or a combination of the two.
– An external forecast is a sales forecast based on the relationships observed between the firm’s sales and certain key external economic indicators.
– An internal forecast is a sales forecast based on a buildup, or consensus, ofsales forecasts through the firm’s own sales channels.

Cash Planning: Cash Budgets An Example: Coulson Industries
Coulson Industries, a defense contractor, is developing acash budget for October, November, and December.
Coulson’s sales in August and September were $100,000and $200,000 respectively. Sales of $400,000, $300,000 and
$200,000 have been forecast for October, November, and
December. Historically, 20% of the firm’s sales have beenfor cash, 50% have been collected after 1 month, and the
remaining 30% after 2 months. In December, Coulson willreceive a $30,000 dividend from stock in a subsidiary.

Cash Planning: Cash Budgets An Example: Coulson Industries (cont.)
Coulson has also gathered the relevant information for thedevelopment of a cash disbursement schedule. Purchases
will represent 70% of sales — 10% will be paid immediatelyin cash, 70% is paid the month following the purchase, and
the remaining 20% is paid two months following the
purchase. The firm will also expend cash on rent, wages and
salaries, taxes, capital assets, interest, dividends, and a
portion of the principal on its loans. The resultingdisbursement schedule thus follows.

Cash Planning: Cash Budgets An Example: Coulson Industries (cont.)
The Cash Budget for Coulson Industries can be derived bycombining the receipts budget with the disbursements
budget. At the end of September, Coulson’s cash balancewas $50,000, notes payable was $0, and marketable
securities balance was $0. Coulson also wishes to maintain a
minimum cash balance of $25,000. As a result, it will have
excess cash in October, and a deficit of cash in November
and December. The resulting cash budget follows.

Evaluating the Cash Budget
• Cash budgets indicate the extent to which cash shortagesor surpluses are expected in the months covered by theforecast.
• The excess cash of $22,000 in October should be investedin marketable securities. The deficits in November andDecember need to be financed.

Coping with Uncertainty in theCash Budget
• One way to cope with cash budgeting uncertainty is to prepare several cash budgets based on several forecastedscenarios (e.g., pessimistic, most likely, optimistic).
• From this range of cash flows, the financial manager candetermine the amount of financing necessary to cover themost adverse situation.
• This method will also provide a sense of the riskiness of
alternatives.• An example of this sort of “sensitivity analysis” for
Coulson Industries is shown on the following slide.

Profit Planning:Pro Forma Statements
• Pro forma financial statements are projected, orforecast, income statements and balance sheets.
• The inputs required to develop pro forma statements usingthe most common approaches include:
– Financial statements from the preceding year
– The sales forecast for the coming year
– Key assumptions about a number of factors
• The development of pro forma financial statements will be demonstrated using the financial statements for VectraManufacturing.

Profit Planning: Pro FormaFinancial Statements (cont.)
Step 1: Start with a Sales Forecast (cont.)
– The previous sales forecast is based on an increase in price from
$20 to $25 per unit for Model X and from $40 to $50 per unit
for Model Y.
– These increases are required to cover anticipated increases in
various costs, including labor, materials, & overhead.

Profit Planning: Pro FormaFinancial Statements (cont.)
Step 2: Preparing the Pro Forma Income Statement
– A simple method for developing a pro forma income statement
is the percent-of-sales method.
– This method starts with the sales forecast and then expresses thecost of goods sold, operating expenses, interest expense, and
other accounts as a percentage of projected sales.
– Using the Vectra example, the easiest way to do this is to recast
the historical income statement as a percentage of sales.

Profit Planning: Pro FormaFinancial Statements (cont.)
Step 2: Preparing the Pro Forma Income Statement (cont.)
– Clearly, some of the firm’s expenses will increase with the levelof sales while others will not.
– the use of past cost and expense ratios generally tends tounderstate profits when sales are increasing. (Likewise, it tends
to overstate profits when sales are decreasing.)
– The best way to generate a more realistic pro forma income
statement is to segment the firm’s expenses into fixed andvariable components, as illustrated in the following example.

Step 3: Preparing the Pro Forma Income Statement(cont.)
– Clearly, some of the firm’s expenses will increase with thelevel of sales while others will not.
– As a result, the strict application of the percent-of-salesmethod is a bit naïve.
– The best way to generate a more realistic pro formaincome statement is to segment the firm’s expenses intofixed and variable components.
– This may be demonstrated as follows.

Profit Planning: Pro FormaFinancial Statements (cont.)
Step 3: Preparing the Pro Forma Balance Sheet
– The judgmental approach is a simplified approach for
preparing the pro forma balance sheet under which the firm
estimates the values of certain balance sheet accounts and uses
its external financing as a balancing, or “ plug,” figure.
– To apply this method to Vectra Manufacturing, a number of
simplifying assumptions must be made.

Profit Planning: Pro FormaFinancial Statements (cont.)
Step 3: Preparing the Pro Forma Balance Sheet (cont.)1. A minimum cash balance of $6,000 is desired.
2. Marketable securities will remain at their current level of $4,000.
3. Accounts receivable will be approximately $16,875 whichrepresents 45 days of sales (about 1/8th of a year) on average[(45/365) × $135,000].
4. Ending inventory will remain at about $16,000. 25% ($4,000)represents raw materials and 75% ($12,000) is finished goods.

Evaluation of Pro FormaStatements
• The major weaknesses of the approaches to pro formastatement development outlined above lie in two
assumptions:
– That the firm’s past financial performance will be replicated inthe future
– That certain variables (such as cash, accounts receivable, and

• These assumptions cannot be justified solely on the basisof their ability to simplify the calculations involved.

Evaluation of Pro FormaStatements (cont.)
However pro forma statements are prepared, analysts mustunderstand how to use them to make financial decisions.
– Financial managers and lenders can use pro forma statements toanalyze the firm’s inflows and outflows of cash, as well as its
liquidity, activity, debt, profitability, and market value. – Various ratios can be calculated from the pro forma income
statement and balance sheet to evaluate performance.
– Cash inflows and outflows can be evaluated by preparing a pro
forma statement of cash flows. – After analyzing the pro forma statements, the financial manager
can take steps to adjust planned operations to achieve short-termfinancial goals.
