Finance for Managers
(Managerial Accounting)
Role of Financial Information
• Financial information pervades our economy
– It is the primary means of communication between profit seeking
organizations and their stakeholders
– For this reason organizations use financial measures internally as a broad indicator of performance
• This financial information provides a signal that something is wrong, but not what is wrong
• Financial information summarizes underlying activities
– But to explain financial results, managers need to dig deeper
– Detailed information provides additional insight into what is happening to
profits

Financial accounting provides
external users with financial
statements.

information needs for internal
decision makers.
12. Principles of Accounting
Objectivity Principle
Accounting information is
supported by independent,
unbiased evidence.
Going-Concern Principle
Reflects assumption that the
business will continue operating
instead of being closed or sold.
Future
Now
Cost Principle
Accounting information is
based on actual cost.
13. Principles of Accounting
Monetary Unit Principle
Express transactions and events in
monetary, or money, units.
Revenue Recognition Principle
1. Recognize revenue when it is
earned.
2. Proceeds need not be in cash.
3. Measure revenue by cash
received plus cash value of items
received.
Business Entity Principle
A business is accounted for
separately from other business
entities, including its owner.
14. Principles of Accounting
Going-concern means that
accounting information reflects a
presumption the business will
continue operating.
Business entity means that a
business is accounted for
separately from its owner or other
business entities.
Cost principle means that
accounting information is based
on actual cost.
Revenue recognition principle
provides guidance on when a
company must recognize
revenue.
Monetary unit means we can
express transactions in money.
Matching Principle prescribes that
a company must record its
expenses incurred to generate the
revenue.
1-14
Full disclosure principle requires a company to report the details behind
financial statements that would impact users’ decisions.
23. Accounting and Financial Statements
• Financial statements arewritten
records that convey the business
activities and
the financial performance of a
company.
• Financial statements include
Balance sheet. Incomestatement.
Cash flow statement.
• income statement,
• statement of financial position,
• statement of change in equity,
• statement of cash flow,
• Noted (disclosure) tofinancial
statements.
•A balance sheet is a financial
statement that reports a
company's assets, liabilities and
shareholders' equity.
• Assets,
• liabilities,
• equity,
• revenue
• expenses.

Types of accounts
What is accounting
and financial

What are the
major types of
financial
statements?
29. What is the difference between Accounting income and cash flow
• Accounting income = revenue - expenses
• Cash flow represents cash in and cash out
• Net cash = Cash inflow –Cash outflow
• A cash flow statement shows the exact amount of a company's cash inflows and outflows over a period
of time.
• The income statement (accounting financial statement) is the most common financial statement and
shows a company's revenues and total expenses, including noncash accounting, such as depreciation
over a period of time

The difference between accounting income and cash flow
30. How to determine a firm’s cash flow from its financial statements
• Use the cash flow statement and balance sheet to obtain cash flow from
operations by adding net income, depreciation and amortization together
with income from other sources or charges, then subtract the net increasein
working capital (current assets minus current liabilities).
• Free Cash Flow = Net income + Depreciation/Amortization – (Change in
Working Capital – Capital Expenditure).
• Operating Cash Flow = Operating Income + Depreciation – Taxes + Changein
Working Capital.
• Cash Flow Forecast = Beginning Cash + Projected Inflows – ProjectedOutflows
= Ending Cash

37. Financial Ratios purposes
Financial
ratios are
grouped
into the
following
categories:
• Liquidity
ratios
• Leverage
ratios
• Efficiency
ratios
• Profitability
ratios
• Market value
ratios
Track company performance
• Determining individual financial ratios per
period and tracking the change in their values
over time is done to spot trends that may be

• Comparing financial ratios with that of major
competitors is done to identify whether a
company is performing better or worse than
the industry average.
38. Statement of Cash Flows
A cash flow statement is a
financial statement that summarizes
the amount
of cash and cash equivalents entering
and leaving a company.
The main components of the cash flow
statement are cash from operating
activities, cash from investing
activities, and cash from financing
activities
40. How do you determine sources and uses of
cash
• existing cash on the balance sheet,
revolver, new debt issuances, new equity
issuances.
• purchasing the target's equity, repaying
the target's debt or refinancing the
target's debt, as well as the financingand
transaction expenses.
Uses of cash include:
Sources of cash include:
Sources of cash are things that
yield cash and uses of cash drain
the cash balance.
Assets are typically
liabilities are uses of cash as they
turn into an expense down the line
either paying accrued expenses or
long-term liabilities.
42. How to compute and interpret important financial ratios
Financial ratios are created with the use of numerical values taken
from financial statements to gain meaningful information about a
company
By understanding what each key financial ratio is assessing, we can
more easily derive the ratios with a quick look at the financial
statements.
A ratio takes one number and divides it into another number to
determine a decimal that can later be converted to a percentage>
The numbers found on a company’s financial statements – balance
sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement – are used to
perform quantitative analysis and assess a company’s liquidity,
leverage, growth, margins, profitability, rates of return
43. Liquidity ratios
Financial ratios that measure a company’s ability to repay both short- and long-
term obligations.
The current ratio measures a company’s
ability to pay off short-term liabilities with
current assets
Current ratio = Current assets /
Current liabilities
The acid-test ratio measures a company’s
ability to pay off short-term liabilities with
quick assets
Acid-test ratio = Current assets –
Inventories / Current liabilities
The cash ratio measures a company’s
ability to pay off short-term liabilities with
cash and cash equivalents
Cash ratio = Cash and Cash
equivalents / Current Liabilities
The operating cash flow ratio is a measure
of the number of times a company can pay
off current liabilities with the cash
generated in a given period:
47. Leverage Financial Ratios
Leverage ratios measure the amount of capital that comes from debt.
The debt ratio measures the relative amount of
a company’s assets that are provided from debt Debt ratio = Total liabilities / Total
assets
The debt to equity ratio calculates the
weight of total debt and financial liabilities
against shareholders’ equity:
Debt to equity ratio = Total
liabilities / Shareholder’s equity
The interest coverage ratio shows how
easily a company can pay its interest
expenses
Interest coverage ratio = Operating
income / Interest expenses
The debt service coverage ratio
reveals how easily a company can pay
its debt obligations:
Debt service coverage ratio =
Operating income / Total debt
service
48.
49. Efficiency Ratios
Efficiency ratios, also known as activity financial ratios, are used to measure how well a company is utilizing its
assets and resources.
The asset turnover ratio measures a
company’s ability to generate sales from
assets:
Asset turnover ratio = Net sales / Average
total assets
The inventory turnover ratio measures
how many times a company’s inventory
is sold and replaced over a given period:
Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods
sold / Average inventory
The accounts receivable turnover ratio
measures how many times a company
can turn receivables into cash over a
given period:
The days sales in inventory
ratio measures the average number of
days that a company holds on to
inventory before selling it to customers:
50. Receivables turnover ratio = Net
credit sales / Average accounts
receivable
Days sales in inventory ratio = 365 days /
Inventory turnover ratio
51. Profitability Ratios
Profitability ratios measure a company’s ability to generate income relative to revenue, balance sheet assets,
operating costs, and equity.
The gross margin ratio compares the gross profit of a
company to its net sales to show how much profit a
company makes after paying its cost of goods sold:
Gross margin ratio = Gross profit / Net
sales
The operating margin ratio compares the operating
income of a company to its net sales to determine
operating efficiency:
Operating margin ratio = Operating
income / Net sales
The return on assets ratio measures how efficiently a
company is using its assets to generate profit: Return on assets ratio = Net income /
Total assets
The return on equity ratio measures how efficiently
a company is using its equity to generate profit: Return on equity ratio = Net income /
Shareholder’s equity
52. Market Value Ratios
Market value ratios are used to evaluate the share price of a company’s stock. Common market
value ratios include the following:
The book value per share ratio
calculates the per-share value of a
company based on the equity
Book value per share ratio =
(Shareholder’s equity – Preferred equity)
/ Total common shares outstanding
available to shareholders:
The dividend yield ratio measures the
amount of dividends attributed to
shareholders relative to the market
Dividend yield ratio = Dividend per share
/ Share price
value per share:
The earnings per share ratio measures
the amount of net income earned for
each share outstanding:
Earnings per share ratio = Net earnings /
Total shares outstanding
The price-earnings ratio compares a company’s share price to its earnings per
54. Benchmarking
• Used to see how the firm’sperformance
is changing through time
• Internal and external uses
• Compare to similar companies
or within industries
• SIC and NAICS codes

56. Non-Discount Method in capital budgeting
• The payback method simply computes the number of years it will take for an
investment to return cash equal to the amount invested.
• For example, if an investment of $100,000 is made and it generates cash of
$50,000 for two years followed by $10,000 per year for four additional years, its
payback is two years ($50,000 + $50,000).
• If another investment of $100,000 generates cash of $20,000 per year fortwo
years and then provides cash of $40,000 per year for six additional years, its
payback is approximately 3.5 years ($20,000 + $20,000 + $40,000 + 0.5 times
$40,000).
A non-discount method of capital budgetingdoes not explicitly consider the time
value of money.
In other words, each dollar earned in the future is assumed to have the same value
as each dollar that was invested many years earlier.
The payback method is one of the techniques used in capital budgeting thatdoes
not consider the time value of money.
57. Payback Period
• Payback period in capital
budgeting refers to the time
required to recoup thefunds
expended in an investment,
• For example, a $1000investment
made at the start of year 1 which
returned $500 at the end of year
1 and year 2 respectively would
have a two-year payback period
•A longer payback period indicates
capital is tied up.
•Focus on early payback can
enhance liquidity.
•Investment risk can beassessed
through payback method.
•Shorter term forecasts.
•This is more reliable technique.
•Ignores the time value of
money:
•Cash flows received
during the early years of
a project get a higher
weight than cash flows
received in later years.
Definition Advantages of Payback Method Disadvantages of
the Payback Method
58. Accounting Rates of Return
Accounting Rate of Return (ARR)
is the percentage rate of
return that is expected from an
investment or asset compared to
the initial cost of investment.
59. Accounting Rate of Return advantages and disadvantage
• ARR is based on accounting information,
therefore, other special reports are not
required for determining ARR.
• ARR method is easy to calculate and
simple to understand.
• ARR method is based on accountingprofit
hence measures the profitability of
investment.
• ARR ignores the time value of money.
• ARR method ignores the cash flow
from investment
• ARR method does not consider
terminal value of the project.

CAPITAL BUDGETING TECHNIQUES / METHODS
The Discounted Payback
The Internal Rate of Return
There are different methods
adopted for capital budgeting. The
traditional methods or nondiscount
methods include: Payback period
and Accounting rate of return
method. The discounted cash flow
method includes the NPV method,
profitability index method and IRR.
61. Financial Calculator and a Spreadsheet to Solve Time Value
of Money Problems
Financial
Calculato
r
Excel (and other spreadsheet programs) is the greatest
financial calculator ever made. There is more of a learning
curve than a regular financial calculator, but it is much more
powerful.
62. Net Present Value
1. Net present value (NPV)
• is the difference between
the present value of cash inflows
and the present value of cash
outflows over a period of time.
• NPV is used in capital budgeting
and investment planning to
analyze the profitability of a
projected investment or project.
• net present value is nothing but
net off of the present value
of cash inflows and outflows by
discounting the flows at a
specified rate
NPV = ∑(CFn / (1 + i)n) – Initial
Investment
•n = Period which takes values from
0 to the nth period till the cash flows
ending period
•CFn = Cash flow in the nth period
•i = Discounting rate
Q1. Assuming the initial cash flow
for a project is $10,000 invested for
a project and subsequent cash
flows for each year for 5 years is
$3,000. The discount rate is
assumed to be 10%. Calculate Net
Present Value.
63. Net Present Value
Q1. Assuming the initial cash flow for a project is $10,000 invested
for a project and subsequent cash flows for each year for 5 years
is $3,000. The discount rate is assumed to be 10%. Calculate Net
Present Value.
`NPV= $ (10,000) +$2,727.27+ $2,479.34 +$2,253.94+ $2,049.04 $+1,862.76
=$1,372.36
64. The Discounted Payback
Payback period : 3.4 years
Discounted payback: 4.4 years
The discounted
payback period is a
modified version of
the payback period
that accounts for
the time value of
money.
Both metrics are used
to calculate the amount
of time that it will take
for a project to “break
even,” or to get the
point where the net
cash flows generated
cover the initial cost of
the project.
Both the payback
period and the
discounted payback
period can be used to
evaluate the
profitability and
feasibility of a specific
project.
65. The Internal Rate of Return
The internal rate of return is a metric used
in financial analysis to estimate the
profitability of potential investments.
The internal rate of return is a
discount rate that makes the net present
value (NPV) of all cash flows equal to zero
in a discounted cash flow analysis
IRR= $(10,000) +$ 5,000 +$7,500 +$ 10,000 + $12,500 +$15,000 = 71%
66. Summary – DCF Criteria
• Difference between
market value and cost
• Take the project if the
NPV is positive
• Has no serious problems
• Preferred decision
criteria
Net present value Internal rate of return
• Discount rate
that makes
NPV = 0
• Take the project
if the IRR is
greater than the
required return
• Same decision
as NPV with
conventional
cash flows
