Chapter 1: The World of Finance

• Finance is the process by which money is


transferred among businesses, individuals
and governments through the process of
financing and investing
• It also can be defined as the application of
the principles of financial economist to an
inter-related set of monetary problems.

1.1 Importance of Financial Statements
• Financial statements are formal records of
the financial activities of a business, person,
or other entity which provide an overview of a
business or person's financial condition in
both short and long term.
• four basic financial statements:
1. Balance Sheet
2. Income Statement
3. Statement of Retained Earnings
4. Statement of Cash Flow

Chapter 2: Analysis of Financial
Statement
• Financial analysis is the assessment of a
firm’s past, present and anticipated future
financial performance
• helps an individual to check whether a
business is doing better this year than it
was last year, or whether it is doing better
or worse than other companies in the
same industries

2.1 Assessing Financial Health

• company will be considered as “financially


healthy” when its performance
outperformed other companies in the
same industry and also outperformed the
industry’s benchmark
• The principal tool of financial analysis is
financial ratios.

2.2 The Basics Financial Ratios

• Financial ratios are divided into five main


categories:
1. liquidity ratios
2. efficiency/activity ratios
3. leverage ratios
4. profitability ratios
5. market value ratios

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 8


Liquidity Ratios

• show a firm’s ability to meet its short term financial


obligations. In other words, they show whether the firm
has the resources to pay its creditors when payments
are due

Leverage Ratios
• measure the level of debt or borrowings in a firm. They
tell us whether the company depends more on the debt
financing or equity financing. They also highlight the
ability of the firm to honour its medium and long term
debt commitments in terms of repayment of the principal
as well as the interest charges

2.3 Trend Analysis and Industry
Comparisons
1. Trend analysis
• It is also known as time series analysis, which evaluates
performance of the company over time.
• Comparisons are made between current to past performance using
ratios to assess the company’s progress.
 
2. Cross sectional
• This analysis involves the comparison of different companies’
financial ratios at the same point in time.
• Ratios of other companies within the same industry are needed in
order to analyze the performance of the company.
• Analysts are often interested in how well a company has performed
in relation to other companies in the same industry.

Chapter 3 : The Time Value of Money

• means a dollar received today is worth


more than the same dollar received in the
future.
• crucial in financial management as it will
enable us to further understand how
stocks and bonds are valued, how to
decide on the capital budgeting and many
more.

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 28


3.1 Why Money Has Time Value

• In investment, the more time taken, the


more interest you may earn
• investors would be compensated for his
waiting time in making their investment
due to their willingness to forgo their
current consumption in expectation of
future earnings

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 29


3.2 Measuring the Time Value of Money

• a single sum of money or a series of equal, evenly-


spaced payments or receipts promised in the future can
be converted to an equivalent value today. 
• Conversely, you can determine the value to which a
single sum or a series of future payments will grow to at
some future date
• Time Value of Money can be further subdivided into two;
1. Present Values (PV)
2. Future Values. (FV)

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 30


3.3 The Present Value of a Single Amount

Future Value and Compounding


• future value is the value to be received in
the future, given a value today

Example 1:
Find the future value of RM7, 000 to be
invested for 4 years at 10% compounded
annually.

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 31


Formulae
FV = PV (1 + i )n
where;
PV = Present Value of the future sum of money
FV = Future Value of an investment at the end of
n years
i = annual discount rate
n = number of years before payment is
received

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 32


FV = PV (1 + i )n
= 7, 000 ( 1+0.1)4
= 10,248.70
or
FV = PV (FVIFI,n)
= PV (FVIF10%,4)
= 7, 000 (1.464)
= 10,248.00
© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 33
Example 2:
Find the future value of RM7, 000 to be
invested for 4 years at 10% compounded
semi annually
n = 4 years x 2 times per year
=8
i = 10% per annum / 2 times a year
= 5%
© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 34
FV = PV (1 + i )n
= 7, 000 ( 1+0.05)8
= 10,342.19
or
FV =PV (FVIF5%,8)
= 7, 000 (1.477)
= 10,339.00

Example 3:
Find the future value of RM7, 000 to be
invested for 4 years at 10% compounded
quarterly
FV = PV (1 + i )n
= 7, 000 ( 1+0.025)16
= 10,391.54

Example 4:
Find the future value of RM7, 000 to be
invested for 4 years at 10% compounded
monthly.
  FV = PV (1 + i )n
= 7, 000 ( 1+0.1/12)48
= 10,425.48

Present Value and Discounting
• The present value is the value today of a
sum of money to be received in the future.
Example 1:
What is the present value of RM5, 000 to
be received 3 years from today if the
required rate of return is 8% compounded
annually?

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 39


Formulae
PV = __FV__
(1+i)n
where;
PV = Present Value of the future sum of money
FV = Future Value of an investment at the end of n
years
i = annual discount rate
n = number of years before payment is
received

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 40


PV = __FV__
(1+i)n
= __5, 000__
(1+ 0.08)3
= 3,969.16
or
PV = FV (PVIFI,n)
= FV (PVIF8%,3)
= 5, 000 (0.7938)
= 3,969.00

3.4 Working with Annuities
• An annuity is a series of equal payments made
at fixed intervals for a specific number of
periods
• divided into two main types:
1. Ordinary annuity: payments made at the
end of each period (i.e payment of Astro
bills)
2. Annuity due: payment made at the
beginning of each period (i.e rental
payments)

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 48


Future Value of an Ordinary Annuity
FVA = PMT (1+i )n - 1
i

where:
FVA = the total future value at the end of n periods
PMT = the equal payments made for each period
i = annual discount rate
n = number of payments made

Or

FVA = PMT (FVIFA I,n)

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 49


Future Value of an Annuity Due
FVAD = PMT (1+i )n – 1 (1+i)
i
 
where:
FVA = the total future value at the end of n periods
PMT = the equal payments made for each period
i = annual discount rate
n = number of payments made

Or

FVA = PMT (FVIFA I,n) (1+i)

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 50


Present Value of an Ordinary Annuity
PVA = PMT (1+i )n – 1
i (1+i)n
 
where:
PVA = the total present value of n annuity
PMT = the equal payments made for each period
i = annual discount rate
n = number of payments made

Or

PVA = PMT (PVIFAi,n)

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 51


Present Value of an Annuity Due
PVAD = PMT (1+i )n – 1 (1+i)
i (1+i)n
 
where:
PVA = the total present value of n annuity
PMT = the equal payments made for each period
i = annual discount rate
n = number of payments made

Or

PVA = PMT (PVIFAi,n)(1+i)

Chapter 4: Capital Budgeting
Decision Methods
• The purpose of this chapter is to evaluate
and decide whether to purchase new
equipment, the acquisition of property or
acquisition of another company. Therefore
the best project can give a maximum
return from the company’s investment.

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 53


4.1 The Capital Budgeting Process

The process of capital budgeting involved


four steps which is as follow :
1. Estimates the cash flows after tax from
investment.
2. Consider the risk involved associated to the
investment.

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 54


Cont.

3. Choose the best methods to evaluate the


project ; non-discounted method and
discounted method.
4. Make a best decision to ensure those
investments provides a positive return to the
company’s value. The decision is based on
mutual exclusive investment and/or
independent investment.

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 55


Capital Budgeting Decision
Methods
• 2 cash flow methods :
• Non-discounted cash flow
• Discounted cash flow method

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 56


Non-discounted cash flow

• This method does not consider the time


value of money in calculating and analyze
the capital investment. Under this method,
there are two techniques that commonly
used by Financial Manager to calculate
and evaluate the best investment i.e.
Average Rate of Return and Payback
Period.

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 57


The Accounting Rate of Return
(ARR)
• This method is to measures the average
on profitability of proposed capital
investment as the ratio of average net
income after tax to the average
investment.
• ARR = Average Net Income After Tax
Average Investment

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 58


The Payback Period

• The payback period method focuses on


the time value of money and uses cash
flow after tax, instead of net profit in
evaluating an investment. This method
use to measure the length of time that the
company needs to consider to recover
back the cost of investment. Thus,
payback occurs when the total of cash
inflows equal to the initial investment :
© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 59
Payback period (When the cash flows are
an annuity)
= IO / Average CF
 
Payback period (When the cash flows are
mixed stream)
= (Yr – 1) + [ (IO – Cum. inflow before Yr.) ]
Cash inflow in Yr.

Example

• Shasha Farzana is the Financial Manager


for RIDZ Sdn Bhd. She needs to
considering the potential investment for
company i.e. Project A and Project B
which can maximize the company’s return.

projects :
Year Project A Project B
1 RM2,500 RM2,500
2 RM2,500 RM700
3 RM2,500 RM3,300
Total Inflow RM7,500 RM6,500
Initial Outlay RM5,000 RM5,000
© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 62
Discounted cash flow method

• Discounted cash flow method considers


the time value of money in the analysis.
This method support the goal of the firm
i.e. to maximize the shareholders’ wealth.
• There are three common techniques in
discounted cash flow ; net present value,
internal rate of return and profitability
index.

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 63


Net Present Value (NPV)

• This technique among the common


techniques and is widely used in analyzing
the best investment for company. NPV is
the present value of an investment’s
annual cash flows less the initial outlay. It
can be expressed as follows :

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 64


Cont.

• NPV (mixed stream cash flows) =


= [ PV1 + PV2 + … + PVn ] - IO
(1 + i)1 (1 + i)1 (1 + i)n

• NPV (an annuity)


• = PV [ 1 – 1 ]
(1 + i)n - IO
i
© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 65
Profitability Index (PI)

• Profitability index measures the ratio of


present value of cash flow to the cost of
investment. This index can be expressed
as follows :
PI = [ PV1 + PV2 + … + PVn ]
(1 + i)1 (1 + i)1 (1 + i)n
-----------------------------------------
Initial Outlay

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 66


Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

• IRR is the discount rates that cause the


NPV to equal zero. Therefore, IRR is when
NPV is equates to zero :

IRR = Σ [ CFATt / (1 + IRR)t ] – IO


 

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 67


Capital Rationing

• Capital rationing is referring to placing a


limit on the dollar size of the capital
budget. There are three basic principles
for imposing a capital-rationing constraint.

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 68


Example

• Company ABC has a budget constraint of


RM4 million and there are four projects
available. The table below is the
information for each of proposed projects :
Project Initial Outlay NPV (RM)
(RM)
AA 2.0 million 0.8 million
BB 1.0 million 0.4 million
CC 1.2 million 0.6 million
DD 1.8 million 0.9 million
© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 69
Chapter 5 : Capital Structure Basics

• Capital structure is the mix or combination


of firm’s permanent long term financing
including firm’s debt, preferred stock and
common stock.

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 70


• Different companies may imply different
optimal structure. The objectives of capital
structure are as follows :
– Investment decision
– Financing decision
– Dividend policy decision

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 71


Breakeven Analysis and Leverage

• Breakeven analysis is focus on the


relationship between sales volume and
profitability, which has a direct relationship
to the firm’s total cost structure.

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 72


Break Even Point

• Also known as a cost-volume analysis which


is finding the level of sales where operating
profit or net income before interest and tax
equals to zero that is the total revenues
equal to total cost. EBIT is;
EBIT = Q (P – V) – FC
Where ;
• Q : Sales quantity (in unit)
• P : Price per unit
• V : Variable cost per unit
• FC : Fixed cost

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 73


Sales Break Even

• It involves the same formula except the


sales break even uses contribution margin
(CM). The sales break even can be
calculated as follows :

CM = 1 – Variable cost ratio


= 1 – (V / P)

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 74


Cash Break Even (CBE)

• It concern with the sales level in order to


meet operating cash requirement. This is
because cash receipts and expenditure do
not correspond directly with the sales and
expenses as per income statement. In
CBE, non-cash expenses such as
depreciation are not included as it will
overstate the CBE. The CBE can be
computed as follows;
© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 75
Cont.

• CBE (in unit) = (FC – depreciation)


(P – V)

• CBE (in RM) = (FC – depreciation)


[ 1 - (V / P)

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 76


Break Even Margin

• This technique is used to calculate the


margin of safety when the level of sales is
known. This relates to the firm’s current
sales level to break even point and thus it
will measures the risk on how much the
sales can be decline before meet the
break even point which result in negative
operating earnings.

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 77


Cont.

• Break even margin (BEM) can be


computed using the following formula :
 
BEM = S0 – BE (in RM) / S0

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 78


Leverage

• Leverage implies the usage of fixed costs


in a business to firm’s earnings. The
leverage is included the operating
leverage and financial leverage.

• Operating leverage is the fixed operating


costs which is appear in the firm’s income
statement.

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 79


Cont.

• Financial leverage relates to the financial


sources which carry fixed financing
charges that the company willing to bear in
order to maximize their returns on
shareholders’ wealth. The combination
between operating leverage and financial
leverage known as the total leverage.

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 80


Degree of Operating Leverage
(DOL)
• DOL is the percentage change in a firm’s
operating profit due to the change in sales
volume.
• The formula to calculate DOL is as follows:
DOL = Percentage chg. in operating profit
Percentage change in sales

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 81


Degree of Financial Leverage
(DFL)
• DFL is defined as the percentage of
change in EPS as the result from
percentage change in EBIT. The level of
financial leverage can be determined by
applying the following formula :

© Angkasa Training Centre, 2010 82


Cont.

• DFL = % change in EPS____


% change in operating profit

• DFL= ________EBIT_______
EBIT – 1 – Preferred divd.
/ (1 – Tax)

Capital Structure

• This capital structure theory assumes that


there is an optimal capital structure,
whereby when a company increases the
amount of debt in capital structure, the
weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
will be reduced. The WACC will increase
when the company has more debt. This is
due to the required return by investors will
increase and thus reduced the debt fund.
