Q

Use the Gordon growth model formula to compute the price of a stock that will pay a $5 dividend per share next year and the dividend is expected to stay at $5 forever. Assume 5% cost of equity. The price of the stock today is $______

A

Price = DIV/ (r -g) = 5/(0.05-0) = $100

DIV= Contant Dividends or Cashflows
r = cost of equity
g= growth rate

Q

Firm A pays out 20% of its earnings as dividends and Firm B pays out 30% of its earnings as dividends. Both firms have the same return on investment. Which firm has higher growth rate?

A

The higher ratio of DIV/EPS -> The smaller retention ratio (b) -> The smaller growth rate
Ans: Firm A (20% as the DIV/EPS ratio vs 30%)

Hint: Intuitive theoretically, the more retain earnings should provide higher growth rate

Q

∆netPPE

Study These Flashcards
A

= netPPE (t) - netPPE (t-1)
or = Capex - Depreciation
t= time period
Capex = Capital Expenditures

23
Q

Net Operating Working Capital (NOWC)

Study These Flashcards
A

= OCA - OCL
OCA: Operating Current Assets
OCL: Operating current liabilities

24
Q

what are examples of operating current assets?

Study These Flashcards
A

account receivables, inventories, pre-paid expenses…..

25
what are examples of non operating current assets?
cash, marketable securities...
26
what are examples of operating current liabilities?
accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued wages, deferred revenues,....
27
T or F: Short-term debt is operating current liability
F - short-term debt is a non operating current liability
28
Suppose firm HHKB is able to reduce the interest it pays on its debt from 5% to 4.5%. How will this affect HHKB's net operating profit?
It doesn't change
29
If a company buy a machine worth of $1mil, how much does netPPE goes up?
$1mil because the machine is a new Capex
30
FCF Formula with Capex
FCF = NOP - Capex + Depreciation -∆NOWC
31
T or F: What part of FCF Formula, EBIT is part of?
Net operating profit (NOP)
32
T or F: Non operating profit is technically EBIT subtract taxes owed
True
33
EBIT =
Sales - COGS - Operating Expenses
34
Last year, firm LOL Darius‘s net PPE is 2M dollars. This year, LOL Darius’s capex is 3M dollars and has depreciation of 1M dollars. Calculate the change in net PPE this year.
change in net PPE = capex - depreciation = 3 -1 = 2
35
The firm Latea’s net operating working capital last year was 2M dollars. This year’s net operating working capital is 3M dollars. How would this affect the FCF calculation this year?
FCF Decrease $1M this year
36
∆NOWC
the difference of net operating working capital (NOWC) between this year and the prior
37
1) Gross Profit = 2) Gross Profit Margin
1) Sales - COGS 2) The ratio of Gross Profit to Sales = 100% (Sale) - COGS/Sales
38
Operating Profit Margin
EBIT/ Sales or Gross Profit Margin - (Operating Expenses/Sales)
39
Fix asset turnover ratio What does it measure?
sales/netPPE how effectively a firm uses it assets
40
T or F: A higher number of sales/PPE indicates lower sales generated per dollar of fix assets
F- the opposite
41
accounts receivable days on hand
account receivable/ daily sales daily sales = sales/365
42
inventories days on hand
inventories/ daily COGS daily COGS= COGS/365
43
inventories (t+1) =
= inventories (t) + purchases - COGS inventories (t+1): final inventory in a period inventories (t): inventory at the beginning of a period
44
accounts payable days on hand
account payable/ daily purchases daily purchases = purchases/ 365
45
Why is it hard to forecast FCF? because it's hard to estimate:
Operating policy and performance: 1) sales, including how long will customer pay the firm back (account receivables) 2) expenses, including firm purchases & type of credit (account payable) Level of fix assets: firm investment policy
46
What some key metrics that we can use to find out the competitiveness among companies, industries, etc...?
1) COGS/Sale
47
T or F: We can use growth rate projection from sales (given by executives) to determine the COGS value
F: In real world, COGS value doesn't change accordingly to change in sale revenue. To have an accurate picture, we should use historical data of COGS/Sales
48
Suppose the firm is in a very competitive environment and the COGS/Sales has been increasing over time, for example: 60%, 70%, 80% in past three consecutive years. If the competition will be as fierce as the last year, what is your projected COGS/Sale?
80%
49
Why do we not subtract interest payment in the NOP formula?
Because NOP represents the profit to both shareholders and debtholders of the firm
50
According to economists, increase returns to scale implies....
that high fix asset turnover ratio: Sales/netPPE
51
Suppose in each of the past three years, ARDOH has been 30 days. Currently, other competitors are giving customers 45 days to pay and the CEO of the firm intends to follow the competitors’ strategy. What is a most reasonable projection of ARDOH for the next few years?
45 days
52
T or F: The multiple EV/EBIT is more suitable than EV/Sales when comparing similar firms with different profit margins.
True
53
What are some financial ratio that can be used from historical data average estimate?
1) Operating Expense/Sales
