CFA 5.txt

• 1) GDP-total goods produced in country boundaries
• 2) GNI - produced by residents of country, gross national income
• 3) NNI - GNI less depreciation, most accurate

• GDP
• +Net property income from abroad
• =GNI
• -depreciation
• =NNI

begin inv + purchases - end inv = COGS

Specific indentifcation: actual cost of specific items included in end inv

• HIGHEST -----> Lowest
• End Inv: Fifo, Avg Cost, LIFO
• COGS: LIFO, AVG, FIFO

inventory/cogs determined at end of period or continuously updated

Inventory_FIFO=Inventory_LIFO + LIFO Reserve

• Cash_FIFO=Cash_LIFO-(Reserve x tax rate)
• Equity_FIFO=Equity_LIFO+[reserve x (1-t)]

COGS_FIFO = COGS_LIFO - change in reserve

• Taxes_FIFO = Taxes_LIFO+Change in resrve x tax rate)
• NI_FIFO = NI_LIFO + [change in reserve x (1-t)]

CA/CL ->higher inventory is partially offset by lower cash from taes

Lower COGS/Avg inv, lower COGS and higher inv

lower, higher equity from LIFo reserve net of tax

higher profits - lower COGS, profits partially offset by higher taxes

expected increase in demand

decrease in demnad

decrease in demand, may be the result of exeessive or obsolete inventory

capitalize if there is a future economic benefit, immeditely expense if the future benefit is unlikely or uncertain

Capitalizing: involves depreciating asset's cost over its useful life

expensing: results in an immediate reduction of net income

• CFI
• CFO

• 1) add capitalized interest to interest expense
• 2) remove depreciation of CI from earnings
• 3) deduct CI net of related depreciation from fixed assets
• 4) add CI to CFI
• 5) deduct CI from CFO
• 6) recalc interest coverage and profitability ratios

IFRS: resarch costs are expense as incurred but development costs are capitalized

GAAP: R&D costs are expensed as incurred

• For sale:
• IFRS/GAAP: expensed as incurred until feasibility is reached

• InternaL:
• IFRS: same as software developed for sale
• GAAP: capitalize all software development costs

SL= (Cost-salvage value) / useful life

DDB (Cost - Acc Depⁿ) x (2/useful life)

UOP = (Cost - Salvage value) x (unis used/ total capacity)

asset is imparied when book value (historical cost - acc. deprec) > recoverable amount

recoverable amount is greater of "fair value less selling costs" and "value in use"

• if impaired:
• -write-down asset to recoverable amount and recognize loss in I.S.
• -loss reversal is allowed up to original loss

1)identify impariemnt-impaired when book value > asset's estimated future undiscounted cash flows

2) loss recognition - if impaired, write down to fair value and put loss on I.S.

-loss reversal is prohibited for assets "held-for-use"

BS: reduces assets, liabilities (deferred taxes), and S.E.

IS: loss decreases current period net income; in future periods, reduced deprec. results in higher net income

CF: unaffected

Disclosure: MD&A, footnotes

1) fixed asset and total asset turnover ratios: increase due to reduced assets

2)debt-to-equity ratio: increases due to reduced equity

3) current year ROA and ROE: decrease, % reduction in net income > % reduction in Assets/equity

4) future ROA and ROE: increase due to lower assets and equity, higher net income with lower depreciation

• GAAP: depreciated historic cost
• IFRS: depcreciated historic cost or fair value

historical cost/ annual depⁿ

accum depⁿ/annual depⁿ

Net Book Value / Annual Depⁿ

1) title to the leased asset is transferred to the lessee at the end of the lease

2) a bargain purchase option exists

3) the lease term is >75% of the asset's economic life

4) the PV of the lease payments >90% of the leased asset's fair value

Treat as if leased asset was purchased with debt

Lower of fair value or PV of future lease payments reported as balance sheet ASSET AND LIABILITY

depreciated over time

interest expense is recognied on liability

lease payments treated like amortizing debt - each payment is part interest (CFO) and part principal (CFF)

• finance:
• -lessor reports lease receivable on BS
• -treat as either sale-type lease or direct-financing lease

• operating:
• -lessor reports leased asset on bs
• depreciation expense on asset
• lease payments as rental income

lessor is typically a dealer or the asset

PV of lease payments > carrying value of leased asset

lessor is not the dealer

PV of lease payments = carrying value of leased asset

financial assets <20%

• investments in associates 20-50%
• -equity method

• Busines combinations >50%
• -acquisition method

• shared control by 2+= joint venture
• -IFRS: proportionate consolidation
• -GAAP: equity method

GAAP: Equity

IFRS: proportionate consolidation or equity

• debt securities where the company has the intent and ability to hold to maturity
• Initially reported:
• GAAP: cost including transaction costs
• IFRS: Fair value including tranasction costs
• COST METHOD

debt and equity securities acquired for the purpose of selling in the near future

MARKET METHOD

debt and equity that are neither held-to-maturity nor trading securities

HYBRID

management has the option to report held-to-maturity or available-for-sale assets at fair value

treated like Held-for-trading

FX gains and losses on debt to income statement in IFRS not GAAP

balance sheet: reported at cost + earnings - dividents

IS: earnings

• representation on board of directors
• participation in policy making
• material transactions between the parties
• interchange of key personnel
• technological dependency

Influence: finance, operating, amount and timing of dividends

fair value < carrying value AND deemed to be permanent

asset written down to fair value and impariemnt loss on IS

no reversal in GAAP or IFRS

upstream profit on transaction in associates accounts (Dunder Mifflin sells paper to Sabre)

downstream profit on transaction in parent's accounts (sabre sells printers to Dunder mifflin)

both must eliminate proportionate share of profit from equity income

1) elminate investment account of parent and equity accounts of subsidiary

2) create minority interest (share of equity not owned)

3) combine assets and liabilities of both firms (net of intercompany transactions)

4) eliminate subsidiary earnings from parent

5) subtract minority share of earnings (share of earnings not owned)

6) combine revenues and expenses of both firms (net of intercompany transactions)

equity method for GAAP

• 1) net profit margin overstated
• 2) ROA overstated
• 3) debt ratios skewed

• 1) jointly controlled entities: sharing control of a separate entity
• 2) jointly controlled operations: each venture uses its own assets for a shared project
• 3) jointly controlled assets: a project carried out with assets that are jointly owned

• GAAP requires full
• IFRS allwos bowth

full goodwill = total fair value of subsidiary minus FV of net identifiable assets

Partial: goodwill is purchase price, minus the % owned times fair value of net identifiable assets

• 1)
• IFRS: allocated across cash generating units that will benefit from acquisition
• GAAP: Allocated across reporting units: operating segment or component

• 2)
• IFRS: One-step process
• -if recoverable amount < carrying value, recognize difference as impairment

• GAAP: 2-step process
• -if fair value of reporting unit < carrying value, goodwill is impaired
• -amount of impairment is unit's reported goodwill - current fair value of unit's goodwill

• 3)
• IFRS: if loss is greater than unit goodwill, remainder is allocated to impairment of other assets of the cash generating assets

GAAP: If loss is greater than the current fair value of a unit goodwill, unit goodwill is reduced to zero, no other allocation of impairment amount

EQUITY METHOD = best ratios

IS = employer contribution

BS = asset/liability = excess or shortfall in payments relative to specified contribution

no issues for analyst

• 1) decisions are based on cash flows, not accounting income
• 2) cash flows are based on opportunity costs
• 3)timing of cash flows is important
• 4) cash flows are analyzed on an after-tax basis
• 5) financing costs are reflected in the project's required rate of return

for capital budgeting purposes, we should use the same depreciation method used for tax reporting since captial budgeting analysis is based on after-tax cash flows and not accounting income

outlay = FCInv + NWCInv

NWCInv = change in non-cash current assets - change in non-debt current liab = change in NWC

CF = (S-C)(1-T)+(TD)

• S = sales
• C = cash operating costs
• D = depreciation expense
• T = Marginal tax rate

• TNOCF = Sal_T + NWCInv - T (Sal_T-B_T)
• Sal_T=pre-tax cash proceeds from sale of fixed capital
• B_T = book value of the fixed capital sold

outlay = FCInv + NWCInv - Sal₀+T(Sal₀-B₀)

hard: occurs when the funds allocated to managers under the capital budge can't be increasesd

soft: managers are allowed to incrase their allocated budget if they can justify

results in a probability distribution of project NPV outcomes, rather than just a limited number of outcomes as with sensitivity or scenario analysis.

risk analysis technique that considers both the sensitivity of some of key output variable to changes in a key input variable

allow managers to make future decisions that change the value of capital budgeting decisions

• timing
• abandonment
• expansion
• flexibility (price-setting,production)
• fundamental option (copper mine, open if profitable)

economic income = cash flow + ending market value - beginning market value

economic income = cash flow - economic depreciation

economic income = beginning market value - ending market value

reported net income on financial statements

• 1) accounting deprec is based on the orgininal cost
• 2) financing costs are considered as a separate line item and subtracted out to arrive at net income. in capital budgeting, financing costs are reflected in WACC

EP = NOPAT - $WACC

• NOPAT = net operating profit after tax
• $WACC = dollar cost of capital = WACC x capital
• capital = dollar amount of investment

NPV = MVA = Sum of [EP_t / (1+WACC)^t]

RI_t = NI_t - r_eB_t-1

• RI = residual income in period t
• NI = net income in period t
• r = required return on equity
• B=beginning of period book value of equity

divides operating cash flows based on the claims of deby and equity holders that provide capital to the company

calculates the value of the company, not the project. this is different from the economic profit and residual income approahes, which calc both project and company value

Static trade-off theory with taxes and costs of financial distress

• -capital markets are perfectly competitive
• -investors have homogeneous expectations
• -riskless borrowing and lending
• -no agency costs
• -investment decisions are unaffected by financing decisions

no taxes

value of levered firm = value of unlevered firm

capital structure doesn't matter

• no taxes
• cost of equity increases linearly as a company increases its proportion of debt financing

tax shield provided by debt

V_L=V_U+(t x d)

optimal structure is 100% debt

increased costs a company faces when earnings decline and the firm has trouble paying its financing costs

• 1)direct/indirect: direct fees, legal
• -indirect: lost opportunities

2)probability of financial distress: use of leverage

costs associated with the conflicts of interest between managers and owners

effective tax rate = corporate tax rate + (1-corporate tax rate)(individual tax rate)

double taxation

earnings distributed as dividends are taxed at a lower rate

taxes paid at corporate level but are attributed to the shareholder, so all taxes are effectively paid at the shareholder rate

previous dividend + expected increase in EPS x target ratio ratio x adjustment factor

adjustment = 1/number of years which the adjustment in dividends will take place

dividends are based on earnings less funds the firm retains to finance the equity portion of its capital budget

• 1) potential tax advantages
• 2) share price support/signaling
• 3) added flexibility
• 4) offsetting dilution from employee stock options
• 5) increasing financial leverage

equity ownership above x% triggers loss of voting rights unless approved by board

increases majority to 66% or greater

restricts merger offer unless fair, as determined by some formula

gives managers lucrative cash payouts if they leave the target company after a merger

payoff to potential acquirer to terminate the hostile takeover attempt

comapny selling a division or subsidiary

create a new independent company by giving equity interest in a subsidiary to outside shareholders

like carve-outs in that they create a new independent company that is distinct from the parent company

allow shareholders to receive new shares of a division of the parent comapny in exchange for a portion of their shares in the parent company

break up the firm and sell its asset piece by piece, most associated with bankruptcy

• 1) division no longer fits into management's long-term strategy
• 2) lack of profitability
• 3) individual parts are worth more than the whole
• 4) infusion of cash
