Sources and Uses of Funds
Definition

Term
3 Approaches to Financing (in terms of Sources and Uses)
Definition
Matching Principal:
Use ST sources to finance ST Uses
Use LT sources to finance LT Uses

Aggressive Principal:
Use ST Sources to Finance ST & LT Uses
-This is aggressive because by using ST sources you will have to re-finance sooner, thus running the risk of re-financing at a higher interest rate

Conservative Principal:
Use LT sources to finance ST & LT Uses
-This is conservative beccause you won't have to re-finance often, thus locking in the same interest rate for the life of the loan
Term

Term
Market Value Added (MVA)
Definition
The primary goal of most firms is to maximize shareholders’ wealth. This goal obviously benefits shareholders, but it also helps to ensure that scarce resources are allocated efficiently, which benefits the economy. Shareholder wealth is maximized by maximizing the difference between the market value of the firm’s stock and the amount of equity capital that was supplied by shareholders.

To illustrate, consider Coca-Cola. In January 2009, its total market equity value was $103.2 billion while its balance sheet showed that stockholders had put up only $23.7 billion. Thus, Coca-Cola’s MVA was $103.2 − $23.7 = $79.5 billion. This $79.5 billion represents the difference between the money that Coca-Cola’s stockholders have invested in the corporation since its founding—including indirect investment by retaining earnings—and the cash they could get if they sold the business.

The higher its MVA, the better the job management is doing for the firm’s shareholders.
Term
Economic Value Added (EVA)
Definition
Whereas MVA measures the effects of managerial actions since the very inception of a company, Economic Value Added (EVA) focuses on managerial effectiveness in a given year.

EVA shows that a firm adds value—that is, has a positive EVA—if its ROIC is greater than its WACC. If WACC exceeds ROIC, then new investments in operating
capital will reduce the firm’s value.

Economic Value Added is an estimate of a business’s true economic profit for the year, and it differs sharply from accounting profit

Typically used to look at a specific division in a company to see if its providing value to the company
Term

Term
Liquidity Ratios
Definition
Current Ratio:
=Current Assets/Current Liab
-If your current ratio is too high compared to the market, you could have problems because you have too much AR and Inventory (both part of Current Assets)
-Higher is better

Quick Ratio:
=Current Assets - Inventory/ Current Liabilities
-If there is inventory, the Quick Ratio < Current Ratio
-Higher is better
Term
Asset Management Ratios
Definition
Days Sales Outstanding (DSO):
= AR/Average Daily Sales
-Average collection period
-Lower is better

Inventory Turnover Ratio:
=Sales/Inventory
-Answer is in # of times inv turns over
-Higher is better

Total Asset Turnover (TAT):
=Sales/Total Assets
-Measure of the company's overall effectiveness

Fixed Asset Turnover (FAT):
=Sales/Fixed Assets
-FA typically equals Net PPE
-Whole #
Term
Debt Management Ratio
Definition
Debt Ratio:
=Total Debt/Total Assets
-Shows % of company financed by debt

Times Interest Earned:
=EBIT/Interest Expense
-Also called Interest Coverage ratio
-Shows how many times you can pay your interest expense
-Higher is better
Term
Profitability Ratios
Definition
Return on Sales =Net Income/Sales

Return on Assets = NI/Total Assets

Return on Equity = NI/Common Equity

Operating Profit Margin = EBIT/Sales

Gross PM = Gross Profit/Sales

Basic Earning Power = EBIT/Total Assets

DuPont Analysis:
= Return on Equity = NI/Common Equity
1.) Net Income/Sales
2.) Sales/Total Assets
-# 1 & 2 focus on Operations
-Multiply #1&2 together to get ROA
-Positive relationship with ROE: If you increase the equity multiplier, you’ll increase the ROE
3.) Total Assets/Equity
-Focuses on Financing
-Also called the equity multiplier
-Positive relationship with ROE: If you increase the equity multiplier, you’ll increase the ROE
Term
Market Ratios
Definition
P/E = Market Price of stock/Earnings per share
-EPS = Last 4 quarters of earnings

Dividend Yield = Dividend per share/Market price per share
-If you are younger and want the stock to grow (capital gains), you want low to no dividends so that the money is re-invested back into the company to gain value through the growth of the company/stock price
-Older people want higher dividend yield because they can’t wait for the “long haul”

Retention Rate = 1 – Dividend payout ratio
Div Payout Ratio = Div per share/EPS
-Capital gains focused investors (younger) want low to no dividend payout
Term

4.) Bond Maturity

5.) Sinking Fund provision
Term

Things the company agrees to do. Usually consist of things the bond holder would have done anyways, i.e. Maintain assets, create financial stmts, etc...

Negative Covenants:
Things the bond issuer promises not to do
Term
Maturity Risk Premium (MRP)/Interest Rate Risk
Definition
How price sensitive is the interest rate to the length of the bond?
-Longer term bonds are more price sensitive than shorter term bonds
-There is an inverse relationship between interest rate and price of the bond
Term
Fed Directly Controls 2 types of Rates
Definition
1.) Federal Funds Rate
-Bank to Bank, Ex: 5/3 to Huntington

2.) Discount Rate
Term
Bond Valuation
Definition
1.) Par Value = Stated Value, Face Value, Maturity Value

2.)Coupon Interest Rate = Stated interest rate on debt (% of interest paid each year). Coupon Rate x Face Value = Annual Pymt

3.) Maturity = Years until bond must be repaid

4.) Default Risk = Risk the issuer will not make interest or principal payment to bond holders
Term
Relationships Between Bond Value and Interest Rates
Definition
When the interest rate goes down (Rd), the bond price (face value) goes up.


When the coupon rate and the required rate of return (Rd) are equal, the present value is the same as the future value
Term
Bond sensitivity based on coupon rates
Definition
Lower coupon bonds are more price sensitive to changes in interest rates

Bonds with zero coupon rate are the most price sensitive
Term
Yield to Maturity
Definition
The rate of return you would earn by holding the bond until maturity AND then taking the interest earned and re-investing at the same rate of return
Term
Call Provision (Yield to Call)
Definition
A premium is paid to the bond holder to compensate for the call provision

Generally the premium is 1 YR Interest
Term
Bond Premiums vs Discounts
Definition
If the value of the bond is trading above the face value, it is trading at a premium

If the value of the bond is trading below the face value, it is trading at a discount

• When bonds trade at a premium (Cost more than face value), you record your earnings as a capital loss because the value decreases over time. However, you get a larger coupon rate than other bonds not trading at a premium
