Chapter Outline • The Balance Sheet • The Income Statement • Cash Flow • Taxes • Capital Cost Allowance • Summary and Conclusions
Balance Sheet - 2.1 LO1 • The balance sheet is a snapshot of the firm’s assets and liabilities at a given point in time • Assets are listed in order of liquidity • Ease of conversion to cash • Without significant loss of value • Balance Sheet Identity • Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity
Net Working Capital and Liquidity LO1 • Net Working Capital • Current Assets – Current Liabilities • Positive when the cash that will be received over the next 12 months exceeds the cash that will be paid out • Usually positive in a healthy firm • Liquidity • Ability to convert to cash quickly without a significant loss in value • Liquid firms are less likely to experience financial distress • However, liquid assets earn a lower return • Tradeoff between liquid and illiquid assets
Market Vs. Book Value LO1 • The balance sheet provides the book value of the assets, liabilities and equity. • Market value is the price at which the assets, liabilities or equity can actually be bought or sold. • Market value and book value are often very different. Why? • Which is more important to the decision-making process?
Income Statement - 2.2 LO1 • The income statement is more like a video of the firm’s operations for a specified period of time. • You generally report revenues first and then deduct any expenses for the period • Matching principle – GAAP say to show revenue when it accrues and match the expenses required to generate the revenue
The Concept of Cash Flow - 2.3 LO2 • Cash flow is one of the most important pieces of information that a financial manager can derive from financial statements • We will look at how cash is generated from utilizing assets and how it is paid to those that finance the purchase of the assets
Cash Flow From Assets LO3 • Cash Flow From Assets (CFFA) = Cash Flow to Bondholders + Cash Flow to Shareholders • Cash Flow From Assets = Operating Cash Flow – Net Capital Spending – Changes in NWC
Example: Canadian Enterprises LO3 • OCF (I/S) = EBIT + depreciation – taxes = $509 • NCS (B/S and I/S) = ending net fixed assets – beginning net fixed assets + depreciation = $130 • Changes in NWC (B/S) = ending NWC – beginning NWC = $330 • CFFA = 509 – 130 – 330 = $49 • CF to Creditors (B/S and I/S) = interest paid – net new borrowing = $24 • CF to Stockholders (B/S and I/S) = dividends paid – net new equity raised = $25 • CFFA = 24 + 25 = $49
Example: Balance Sheet and IncomeStatement Information LO3 • Current Accounts • 2008: CA = 1500; CL = 1300 • 2009: CA = 2000; CL = 1700 • Fixed Assets and Depreciation • 2008: NFA = 3000; 2009: NFA = 4000 • Depreciation expense = 300 • LT Liabilities and Equity • 2008: LTD = 2200; Common Equity = 500; RE = 500 • 2009: LTD = 2800; Common Equity = 750; RE = 750 • Income Statement Information • EBIT = 2700; Interest Expense = 200; Taxes = 1000; Dividends = 1250
Example: Cash Flows LO3 • OCF = 2700 + 300 – 1000 = 2000 • NCS = 4000 – 3000 + 300 = 1300 • Changes in NWC = (2000 – 1700) – (1500 – 1300) = 100 • CF From Assets = 2000 – 1300 – 100 = 600 • CF to Bondholders = 200 – (2800 – 2200) = -400 • CF to Shareholders = 1250 – (750 – 500) = 1000 • CF From Assets = -400 + 1000 = 600 • The CF identity holds.
Taxes - 2.4 LO4 • Individual vs. corporate taxes • Marginal vs. average tax rates • Marginal – the percentage paid on the next dollar earned • Average – the percentage of your income that goes to pay taxes (tax bill / taxable income)
Taxes on Investments LO4 • When an investor holds stocks, they are subject to two types of taxes: • Dividend tax credit – A tax formula that reduces the effective tax rate on dividends • Capital gains tax – Tax is paid on the investment’s increase in value over its purchase price
Capital Cost Allowance (CCA) - 2.5 LO5 • CCA is depreciation for tax purposes • CCA is deducted before taxes and acts as a tax shield • Every capital asset is assigned to a specific asset class by the government • Every asset class is given a depreciation method and rate • Half-year Rule – In the first year, only half of the asset’s cost can be used for CCA purposes
Example: CCA Calculation LO5 • ABC Corporation purchased $100,000 worth of photocopiers in 2004. Photocopiers fall under asset class 8 with a CCA rate of 20%. How much CCA will be claimed in 2004 and 2005?
CCA – Additional Concepts LO5 • Usually firms have multiple machines (i.e. more than one photocopier) in an asset class. • When an asset is sold, the asset class is reduced by the realized value of the asset, or by its original cost, whichever is less.
Closing an Asset Class LO5 • When the last asset in an asset class is sold, the asset class is terminated. This can result in a terminal loss or recaptured CCA. • Terminal Loss – The difference between the UCC and the adjusted cost when the UCC is greater. • Recaptured CCA – The taxable difference between the adjusted cost and the UCC when the UCC is smaller.
Another CCA Example LO5 • Kool Drinks Corporation purchased $300,000 worth of bottling machinery in 2007. Machinery falls under asset class 43 with a CCA rate of 30%. In 2009, Kool Drinks sold their machinery for $150,000 and moved their production to Mexico. Was there a capital gain, a CCA recapture or a terminal loss? What if the machinery was sold for $120,000?
