Income statement and balance sheet

• Income statement

• EBIT = REV - CGS - SGA - Dep

• TAX = Tc (EBIT - Int)

• NI = EBIT - Int - TAX

• Balance sheet equation

• FA + AR + INV + CASH = SE + LTD + AP + STD

Working capital requirement: WCR AR + INV - AP

=(Current assets - CASH) - (Current liabilities - STD)

Summarised balance sheet:

FA + WCR + CASH = SE + D (D = LTD + STD)

MBA 2006 Cash flows + financial planning |10

Cash flow statement : indirect method

FA + WCR + CASH = SE + D

FA = CAPEX - Dep CAPEX = Acquisitions - Disposals (investing & divesting)

SE = NI - DIV + KK = New issuance of capital

(NI + Dep - WCR) - (CAPEX) + (K + D -DIV) = CASH

Free Cash Flow = DIV - K - D + Cash

• Calculating free cash flows of all equity firm:

Free Cash Flow = EBIT(1-TC) + Dep - WCR - CAPEX

• Statement of cash flows for all-equity firm:

Free Cash Flow = DIV - K + Cash

• Net fixed assets: a = NFA / Revenues

• Financial policy:

• Payout ratio p = DIV/Net Income

• Depreciation d = Depreciation / Fixed Assets-1

• Environment:

• Tax rate TC

• Cost of debt i
