FINC 331 Week 2 Homework Hints Overview This week the homework is rather more difficult than last week. What is different this week from last week is that most questions require a calculation or the understanding of the formula. That said most of the questions are straight forward. There are a few tricky ones though! These questions deal with: Days receivable Fixed Asset Turnover ratio P/E ratio, EPS and Stock price computation Alternative Financing Needed (AFN) Contribution margin Days receivable ratio (aka Days Sales Outstanding) This ratio considers the frequency with which the company collects on its outstanding Credit Sales in terms of number of days. There are two parts to this calculation: Accounts Receivable (A/R) Turnover, and then the Days Receivable. Step 1: A/R Turnover = Credit Sales ÷ Average A/R A/R turnover represents the number of times the A/R is collected in a year. Step 2: Days Sales = 365 days ÷ A/R turnover Days Sales Outstanding takes the A/R turnover and restates it into the number of days. Fixed Asset Turnover ratio This ratio helps analysts determine how efficiently a company uses its fixed assets to generate income. Fixed assets are things like buildings, equipment, land, etc. They are long-term assets that benefit the company for more than one year. Fixed assets re sometimes called PP&E which stands for property, plant and equipment. Fixed Asset TO = Net sales ÷ Net PP&E The “Net” is important in the denominator because it means that the total value of the PP&E must be adjusted for depreciation. P/E ratio and stock price (questions #12 & 13) The Price to Earnings ratio tells us the ratio of a company’s stock price to its per share of earnings (EPS). EPS is the portion of Net Income that is available for each share of outstanding common stock. EPS = (Net Income – Dividends) ÷ # of shares outstanding and P/E ratio = stock price / EPS If we know the P/E ratio and the EPS, we can determine the stock price: Stock price = P/E ratio x EPS Additional Funds Needed (AFN) question #14 When a company is forecasting its revenue and needs into the future, it usually creates Pro Forma financial statements. These statements take the goals and expectations that the company has and turns them into dollar amounts on financial statements. If a company expects to grow at a certain rate, and have costs that are a certain amount, it must be able to predict if it can pay for all of its needs. In many cases it cannot and it must seek external financing. We can compute how much external financing is need by simply making sure that the Balance Sheet balances. Remember, Assets = Liabilities + Equity. So, if we know the net income, the projected increase in assets and projected liabilities plus the retention ratio, we can compute the amount of Additional Funds Needed. The retention ratio is the ratio of the net income that the company keeps and does not pay out as.

Financial/Netflix Example Response 1.docxResponse to Case 0: Netflix In an attempt to become the market leader and the biggest player out there and to solidify its position as an internet provider of movies and television shows for both kids and adults, Netflix has made a lot of spectacular moves. However, one that has been questioned is its move into producing its own original shows. Original shows is expensive and Netflix has to pay for it up front. So why did Netflix go into it and was it a good idea? Netflix has plenty of subscribers and they could save a lot of money. Original content is definitely a way for Netflix to strengthen its business model. One of the first things to consider is Netflix business model. Netflix has customers, products, operations, financials, competitors, and partners in its business model. All are really important to its business model. The originals allow it to make new partners with movie producers instead of using movie studios to buy movies. This should save it 30% to 50% which would improve its financials. Its going to change its operations and its competitors won’t like it. Also, its product would increase. Netflix is an amazing company that has tons of movies and shows that customers love, and one of my favorites that is an original production is Orange Is the New Black. Because it has so many shows, Netflix has millions of subscribers and these subscribers pay $8.99 for a basic subscription, $12.99 for a standard subscription and $15.99 for a premium subscription. The prices were raised at the beginning of 2019. All of this has made it possible for Netflix to make 15,794,341 thousand dollars in 2018. Because it makes so much money, Netflix should be able to figure out how to make a positive profit instead of a negative one. Original content should help it be able to turn its fortunes around. Many of the original productions are really good shows. This should attract new customers and help it grow its subscriber base. Netflix is probably really good at making new movies because it knows so much about its customers. Netflix is able to track a lot of information about people, which helps it know what people like. This can help Netflix find good shows and movies to produce. This probably why its original products are so good. Also, one of the things to think about is how Netflix competes with other companies. Amazon and Hulu all have streaming services. Others will soon follow and Apple is one of them. Netflix wants to have something that the others don’t, so it is important for Netflix to make new shows that they own. It helps that Netflix has a great CEO. Reed Hastings has made a great company culture that can be tough at times but really drives good results. This is important to have in the movie industry where people may not work hard. Its culture can help it make sure movies are made correctly or so that people will like them. Also, Netflix will be able to make movies for less money due to the fact that.
