economic value-added EVA

present value (PV), also known as present discounted value, is the value of an expected income stream determined as of the date of valuation. Future value is the value of an asset at a specific date. It measures the nominal future sum of money that a given sum of money is worth at a specified time in the future assuming a certain interest rate, or more generally, rate of return.

PV = C / (1 + r) n

FV=C0 * (1+r)n

method of calculating theoretical values of companies and their stocks. The main use of these methods is to predict future market prices, or general market prices

Investment returns: The financial performance of an investment measured by its return.

Opportunity cost rate: the discount rate is the opportunity cost rate, it is the rate that could be earned on alternative investments of similar risk, it does not depend on the source of the investment funds.

The nominal interest rate does not take into account the compounding period. The effective interest rate does take the compounding period into account and is a more accurate measure of interest charges.

Financial risk is present whenever there is a chance of earing a return on an investment that is less than the amount expected.

Dollar return= amount to be received - amount invested

Rate of return= Dollar return/ Amount Invested

Portfolio risk and return- standard deviation is an applicable risk measure only when an investment is held in isolation. when investments are held in portfolios, the relevant return, risk is that of the entire portfolio.

CAPM provides investors with rational ways of thinking about the required rates of return

Risk free rate- compensates investors for the time value of money

Risk Premium- compensates investors for the amount of portfolio risk assumed

Stand-alone risk, diversifiable risk, market risk

Term Loan (long term loan) debt that has a maturity greater than one-year, short term- or loan scheduled to be paid back in one year.

YTM on a bond is the expected rate of return assuming the bond is held to maturity and no default occurs.

Discount rate that forces the present value of the cash flows from the bond to equal the bond's price.

debt capital and equity or fund capital

Break Even Sales = Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin Percentage The contribution margin percentage can be computed by dividing the difference between the sales and the variable costs by the sales and expressed in terms of percentage.

Markets for the stocks and bonds of large companies and for treasury securities are efficient.

The only way to obtain higher return is to assume more risk

Common stock: classified stock. or class A and class B- Preferred stock is more stable, common is more volatile.

Debt financing involves borrowing money from investors by issuing corporate bonds. Share financing involves selling ownership rights in the company to investors by issuing stock. Investors are rewarded for financing companies through interest and dividend payments.

Expected dividend yield plus an expected capital gains yield and the expected capital gains yield are constant over time.

Cost of capital is a blend of the costs of a business's permanent financing sources

Benchmark rate of return in the evaluation of proposed projects.

Tax Benefits, historical versus marginal costs

Mix of debt and equity financing used by a business

Measured by the structure of the liabilities and equity section of the business's balance sheet.

ROE: net income divided by the value of equity measures the dollars of equity investment.

The use of fixed cost financing typically debt financing for healthcare providers.

Debt capacity: the amount of debt considered optimal for the business

IRR: is the discount rate that forces the PV of the inflows to equal the cost of the project.

IRR is the projects expected rate of return.

IRR measures ROI in percentage terms

Payback period = Initial Investment or Original Cost of the Asset / Cash Inflows.

Estimate Cash flows, assess projects riskiness, estimate the project cost of capital, measure the financial impact.

Opportunity cost is the forgone benefit that would have been derived from an option not chosen.

Net Present Value is NPV = ∑ (CFn / (1 + i)n) – Initial Investment

Identifies the variables that are most critical to the analysis, if forecasts are wrong , have the most influence on profitability

Disadvantage: does not consider the amount of the input variables could actually change.

Considers more than one variable at a time, provides more information about the worst possible results, provides a quantitative measure of the stand- alone risk.

Only considers a limited number of outcomes, real world is more complex.

under a business has more acceptable projects than it has investment capital

financial perspective: set of projects creates the greatest financial value is chosen.

3 types: Stand-alone, Corporate, Market.

activities associated with billing and collecting for services, creating cash inflows from the provision of services.

Information technology and electronic claims processing

Monitoring receivables: average collection period, days in patients accounts, both in aggregate and by specific payor.

shorth term, lower administrative costs, fewer restrictive covenants, lower interest rates

Major sources: Accruals, accounts payable, bank loans

Long-term securities other than shares consist of securities other than shares that have an original maturity of more than one year.

(AR) is the balance of money due to a firm for goods or services delivered or used but not yet paid for by customers.

Current accounts management, cash management, float management. Float rate is = DF-CF

Deposit checks received daily, lockboxes, concentration banking, federal reserve wire system, automated clearinghouses.

Combines values from financial statements to create single numbers: easily interpretable significance, Facilitate Comparisions.

Ratio analysis results: presented in a dashboard format that focuses on KPIs

Common Size Amount = (Analysis Amount / Base Amount) x 100% The base amount will change depending on whether the company is completing its analysis on the balance sheet or the income statement.

The amount by which revenue from sales exceeds costs in a business.

economic value added is an estimate of a firm's economic profit, or the value created in excess of the required return of the company's shareholders.
