Cash Flow Worksheet
CFn = cash flow at time period n
Using the arrow keys and the ENTER key to input
cash flow amounts and their frequencies.
Solving for net present value: the NPV key will
prompt you to input a discount rate (I). Then
pressing the down key and CPT to find the NPV.
Solving for the internal rate of return: use the IRR
key and press CPT.
ICONV
Used to calculate effective rates
Nom = Nominal Rate
C/Y = Compounding Frequency
EFF-> CPT = outputs effective rate

Assumptions of Simple Linear Regression
Linearity: a linear relation exists between the
dependent variable and the independent variable.
Homoscedasticity: variance of the error term is the
same for all observations.
Independence: the error term is uncorrelated
across observations
Normality: the error term is normally distributed

Revenue Recognition Principles
Requirements: 1) Risk and reward of ownership is
transferred 2) Collectability is probable
Five-Step Revenue Recognition Model
1. Identify the contract(s) with a customer
2. Identify the separate or distinct performance
obligations in the contract
3. Determine and allocate the transaction price to
the performance obligations in the contract
4. Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity
satisfies a performance obligation
Expense Recognition Principles
Matching principle – match expenses with the
revenues they help generate

LIFO liquidation occurs when older LIFO inventory is
sold (Ending LIFO reserve < Beginning LIFO reserve)
LIFO vs FIFO
LIFO is only allowed under US GAAP
Under a period of rising prices and stable or
increasing inventory:
LIFO leads to:
Higher COGS
Lower Gross Profit
Lower Ending Inventory
Higher CFO from tax savings
FIFO leads to:
Lower COGS
Higher Gross Profit
Higher Ending Inventory
Lower CFO higher relative taxes

Capitalizing: smooths net income impact; higher
ROE and ROA initially; lower ROE and ROA later on;
Expensing: short-term net income decline; lower
ROE and ROA initially; higher ROE and ROA later on;
Deferred Tax Asset (DTA)
Leasing vs Purchasing
Arise when excess amount paid for income taxes
(taxable income > pre-tax income)
Tax incentives (if lessee is in a low tax bracket and

prices; technical analysis won’t lead to superior riskadjusted performance
Semi-Strong Form; prices reflect all publicly known

rapidly reflected in prices; fundamental and

Strong Form; security prices fully reflect both public
