Do not confuse Price and Value. They are not the same.

Surplus Funds (SF) and Necessary to

First method of balancing called the Balance Sheet Method: Calculate the difference of Total
Liabilities and Equity and Total Assets.
Positive number is a Surplus Funds (SF) and negative number is a Necessary to Finance (NTF).

6. Which makes NTF increase even more
Equity
Circularity in financial forecasting
PROS
Elegant solution to NTF and Cash Balances
Allows accumulative formulas in NTF and SF
Interest Rate ‘rd’<=> Interest Coverage Ratio
Gets the Balance Sheet to balance accurately
CONS
Hides accidental CIRC’s
Doesn’t always resolve CIRC’s
Destabilizes the financial model
If you incorporate circularity, be wary of
‘The #REF! problem’
#REF!
“I need a reference”
Occurs when you:
▪ Delete cells, rows, columns, worksheets
▪ Move/Cut formulas
A #REF! that occurs when iteration is ON can’t be fixed with UNDO (Ctrl Z)
To correct the #REF! problem:
▪ Find the circular reference (typically in Surplus Funds and NTF)
▪ Break it (Link interest earned on Cash to previous years’ Cash Balance)
▪ Resolve the #REF! cells
Solving ‘The #REF! problem’
#DIV/0! is carried in loop

Revolver lines of credit allow for this: the company can draw down if it needs financing, and then
repay when it has excess cash. In this way, the revolver is best viewed as a short-term debt of the
revolving kind.
If we want to use the plug as an equity plug, the main difference is that the equity plug can
increase when there is a need for additional financing in the long-term.
This is because, companies (mostly start-ups and young companies) issue equity to meet
financing needs, although not for short-term needs. In general, companies use equity when the
sources of debt financing are limited.
Mature companies use excess cash to buy back their equity as a short-term response to low stock
price and also as a way to payback shareholders.
Another way to balance projected balance sheet is to reduce the liabilities and equity, by
dividending out the excess cash out of the retained earnings account.
We can also do a partial dividending out, where a percentage of the excess cash remains on the
balance sheet.
Variations on Balancing Plugs
We usually consider the plug on the liabilities side as debt, but a more useful way of thinking
about this plug is that it is a shortfall in financing.
From the business point of view, the plug does not have to be debt, as long as it provides the
necessary financing for the company. The plug can as well be equity.

Analytical Workhorse
You can use the analytical workhorse taught in the course in your workplace.
These standardized analytical tools enable team members in an organization to
be placed in different valuation projects quickly, with little or no time needed to
have them be “valuation ready.”
The tools ensure that valuations can proceed quickly, with no lead time
required to build an analytical framework from scratch.
Result: valuations done in less time and with greater clarity.
It conveys to colleagues in the corporation, the analytical methodologies that
others in the team are using, because those are embedded in the approach.
It ensures a consistency in the analytical approach to valuation.
Analytical Workhorse
It becomes in its own right an analysis tool, letting new team members
understand how the standard analysis should be conducted.
As colleagues agree to use the same approach, it becomes a common
yardstick of analysis, a way to foster cooperation and partnership across
groups doing valuation.
You can extend the approach to Credit and Investment Review Committees
beyond just valuation.
The team members who are familiar with the approach can proceed to the
qualitative analysis much more quickly and reach their decisions with
greater facility.
The economic returns can be significant: good (or better) decisions are
made; bad decisions avoided.
