That is why different cash-flows at different moments in time cannot be operated unless moved to the same point in time


How can be cash-flows

moved in time?


VF=V0 x (1+i)^t

Compound interest formula

Two cash-flows are equal in time at a given interest rat eVF: Future value of the cash-flow

V0: Present or actual value of the cash-flowi: Compound annual interest or growing rate

t: Time between both cash-flowswww.antonioalcocer.com

Also known as “CAGR”

CAGR=Compound Annual Growing Ratet in years so CAGR on a yearly basis

CAGR = ((VF/VO)^(1/t))-1

Compound interest is used if interests are reinvestedAs general rule, investments lasting less than 1 year use simple interest and investments lasting>=1 year use compound interest but which one to use if determined by the existance or not of the re-investment of the interests

Annual yield is used to obtain the bi-monthly yield, and then apply compound interest formula for calculations in order to obtain €1263But this investment has not a compound annual growing rate (CAGR)=12% due to the bi-monthly reinvestment.

CAGR = ((VF/VO)^(1/t))-1=((1263/1000)^(1/2))-1

$42.812.697?


Yes, $42.8 million

But in 35-years time

& we know about time value of money

& the pair ($,t)

& moving cash-flows in time

& discounting cash-flows

Using Vo=Vf / (1+i)^twww.antonioalcocer.com

So you are telling me that today I would not beworthy $42.8 million?


Yes, because of INFLATION!

CAGR Consumer Price Index (inflation) in the period 192 0-2005 = 2.7%

$42.8 millionsin t=35 yearswould be$16.85 millionstoday at a 2,7%

“We always work with cash-flows in investment appraisal”

GOLDEN RULE www.antonioalcocer.com

“Cash-flow is a fact, net income

just an opinion”-Pablo Fernández IESE-

The net income amount is affected by accounting methods & a ssumptions made(i.e. depreciation & amortization that are not “real” ca sh inflows or outflows)Cash-flows are real money “entering” or “exiting” the com pany or project

Houston, we have a problem:

So the $300 mill. + $150 mill.will be financedby a 65% banking debtby a 35% shareholders’ equitywith a WACC=10%

1. NET PRESENT VALUE=$0

Cash-flows generated exactly pay the cash-flows expectations requested by the banking & shareholders (funds providers)

[Undertake project]


1. NET PRESENT VALUE>$0

Cash-flows generated pay all the cash-flows requested by fund providers in order to meet their profit expectations (NPV=0) & additional cash-flow=NPV goes as excess profit for shareholders

Company valuations can be highly manipulated by small changes in WACC & g5. Use multiples valuation for a “rough” number & 5 minutes valuation6. Use discounted cashflow for a “fine tuned” number & right calculation method
