Based on Damodaran’s Corporate Finance

 The objective of the Statement of Cash Flows, prepared by accountants, is to explain changes in the cash balance rather than to measure the health or value of the firm
P.V. Viswanath 2

Figure 4.3: Statement of Cash Flows
Net cash flow from operations, after taxes and interest expenses Cash Flows From Operations
Includes divestiture and acquisition of real assets (capital expenditures) and disposal and purchase of financial assets. Also includes acquisitions of other firms.
Net cash flow from the issue and repurchase of equity, from the issue and repayment of debt and after dividend payments
+ Cash Flows From Investing
+ Cash Flows from Financing
= Net Change in Cash Balance
P.V. Viswanath 3


In financial analysis, we are much more concerned about

Cash flows to Equity : These are the cash flows generated by the asset after all expenses and taxes, and also after payments due on the debt. Cash flows to equity, which are after cash flows to debt but prior to cash flows to equity

Cash flow to Firm : This cash flow is before debt payments but after operating expenses and taxes. This looks at not just the equity investor in the asset, but at the total cash flows generated by the asset for both the equity investor and the lender.

These cash flow measures can be used to value assets, the firm’s equity and the entire firm itself.

Present Value – earlier money on a time line

Future Value – later money on a time line
100 100 100 100 100 100
0 1 2 3 4 5 6

If a project yields $100 a year for 6 years, we may want to know the value of those flows as of year 1; then the year 1 value would be a present value.

If we want to know the value of those flows as of year 6, that year 6 value would be a future value.

If we wanted to know the value of the year 4 payment of $100 as of year 2, then we are thinking of the year 4 money as future value, and the year 2 dollars as present value.
P.V. Viswanath 5

 A rate is a “price” used to convert earlier money into later money, and vice-versa.
 If $1 of today’s money is equal in value to $1.05 of next period’s money, then the conversion rate is 0.05 or 5%.
 Equivalently, the price of today’s dollar in terms of next period money is 1.05. The excess of next period’s monetary value over this period’s value (1.05 – 1.00 or 0.05) is often referred to, as interest.
 The price of next period’s money in terms of today’s money would be 1/1.05 or 95.24 cents.

This price reflects two elements:
(1) Preference for current consumption (Greater =>Higher Discount Rate)
(2) the uncertainty in the future cash flows (Higher Risk =>Higher Discount
Rate)
P.V. Viswanath 6


Interest rate – “exchange rate” between earlier money and later money (normally the later money is certain).

Discount Rate – rate used to convert future value to present value.

Compounding rate – rate used to convert present value to future value.

Cost of capital – the rate at which the firm obtains funds for investment.

Opportunity cost of capital – the rate that the firm has to pay investors in order to obtain an additional $ of funds.

Required rate of return – the rate of return that investors demand for providing the firm with funds for investment.
P.V. Viswanath 7


If capital markets are in equilibrium, the rate that the firm has to pay to obtain additional funds will be equal to the rate that investors will demand for providing those funds. This will be “the” market rate.

Hence this is the rate that should be used to convert future values to present values and vice-versa.

Hence this should be the discount rate used to convert future project (or security) cashflows into present values.
P.V. Viswanath 8

1. Cash flows at different points in time cannot be compared and aggregated. All cash flows have to be brought to the same point in time, before comparisons and aggregations are made.
2. The concept of a Time Line:
P.V. Viswanath 9


In reality there is no single discount rate that can be used to evaluate all future cashflows.

The reason is that future cashflows differ not only in terms of when they occur, but also in terms of riskiness.

Hence, one needs to either convert future risky cashflows into certainty-equivalent cashflows, or, as is more commonly done, add a risk premium to the “certain-future-cashflows” discount rate to get the discount rate appropriate for risky-futurecashflows.

Between 1926 and 1998, Ibbotson Associates found that stocks on the average made about 11% a year, while government bonds on average made about
5% a year.

If your holding period is one year,the difference in end-of-period values is small:

Value of $ 100 invested in stocks in one year = $ 111

Value of $ 100 invested in bonds in one year = $ 105

The frequency of compounding affects the future and present values of cash flows. The stated interest rate can deviate significantly from the true interest rate –


For instance, a 10% annual interest rate, if there is semiannual compounding, works out to-
Effective Interest Rate = 1.05
2 - 1 = .10125 or 10.25%
The general formula is
Effective Annualized Rate = (1+r/m) m – 1 where m is the frequency of compounding (# times per year), and r is the stated interest rate (or annualized percentage rate (APR) per year

(when he gets to be 18 years old). The tuition costs are $16000/year now and that these costs are expected to rise 5% a year for the next 18 years.
Assume that you can invest, after taxes, at 8%.

 Assume that we expect the free cash flows to equity at


The net income of $1,614 million will grow 15% a year each year for the next 10 years.
The firm will reinvest 75% of the net income back into new investments each year, and its net debt issued each year will be 10% of the reinvestment.
To estimate the terminal price, we assume that net income will grow
6% a year forever after year 10. Since lower growth will require less reinvestment, we will assume that the reinvestment rate after year 10 will be 40% of net income; net debt issued will remain 10% of reinvestment.
