Measures of Return: Earnings versus Cash flows
Principles Governing Accounting Earnings Measurement
Accrual Concept:
Show revenues when products and services are sold or provided, not
when they are paid for.
Matching Principle:
All expenses of a particular accounting period must be matched with
the relevant income of that period, irrespective of the matter
whether they’re paid or received in cash.
If expenses are not properly recorded in the correct period, the net
income for a particular period may be either understated or
overstated.
Operating versus Capital Expenditures:
Only expenses associated with creating revenues in the current period
should be treated as operating expenses.
Expenses that create benefits over several periods are written off over
multiple periods as depreciation or amortization.

What is Free Cash Flow – FCF
• Free cash flow is the cash flow available to all the investors in a
company, including common stockholders, preferred
shareholders, and lenders.
Definition and Significance of FCF
• The Free Cash Flow (FCF) is the cash generated by the
company after deducting operating and capital
expenditures from its operating cash flow.
• Free cash flow measures a company's ability to
generate cash.
• The presence of free cash flow indicates that a company
has cash to expand, develop new products, buy back
stock, pay dividends, or reduce its debt.
• High or rising free cash flow is often a sign of a healthy
company that is thriving in its current environment.
• Net present value of free cash flows coming from a
project tells the shareholders how much value that
project will add to the organization.
3 Types of Expenditures
1. Capital Expenditure
2. Revenue/ Operating Expenditure
3. Financing Expenditure
• Some investors prefer FCF or FCF per share over earnings and
earnings per share as a measure of profitability. FCF accounts for
investments in property, plant, and equipment – which can be
uneven over time.
• If the company’s debt payments are deducted from FCF (Free Cash
Flow to the Firm), a lender would have a better idea for the quality
of cash flows available for additional borrowings. Similarly,
shareholders can use FCF to think about the expected stability of
future dividend payments.
FCF Calculations (1)
• FCF can be calculated by starting with Cash Flows from
Operating Activities on the Statement of Cash Flows because
this number will have already adjusted earnings for interest
payments, non-cash expenses, and changes in working capital.
FCF Calculations (2)
• The income statement and balance sheet can also be used to
calculate FCF.
FCF Calculations (3)
• Other factors from the income statement, balance sheet and
statement of cash flows can be used to arrive at the same
calculation. For example, if EBIT was not given, an investor could
arrive at the correct calculation in the following way.
FCF Calculations (4)
• While FCF is a useful tool, it is not subject to the same financial
disclosure requirements as other line items in the financial
statements.
• CAPEX can make the metric a little “lumpy,” However, FCF is a good
double-check on a company’s reported profitability. Although the
effort is worth it, not all investors have the background knowledge
or are willing to dedicate the time to calculate the number
manually.

Concept of WACC
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the average return that the
company has to pay to its equity and debt investors. Another way of putting
this is that the WACC is the average return shareholders and debt holders
expect to receive from the company.
WACC equation without the impact of Tax (Tc ):
WACC (Example)
United Transport Inc. has 3 million shares outstanding; the current market price per
share is $10. The company has also borrowed $10 million from its banks at a rate of
8%; this is the company’s cost of debt is rd.
The company thinks its shareholders want an annual return on their investment of
20%; this 20% return is the company’s cost of equity re . To compute United
Transport’s WACC we use the formula:
re= 20% ; rd= 8%
E= 3,000,000 shares each worth $ 10= $ 30,000,000
D= $ 10,000,000
Concept of WACC
The equation of the WACC with tax impact is:
Effect of Interest &Tax Rate on WACC
Calculation
• Debt financing has tax advantage. Interest on debt is
deducted from EBIT before charging tax payment. Thus debt
financing reduces tax.
• This tax advantage due to debt financing is reflected in

CAPITAL BUDGETING : PROBLEM 1
Hick Limited is considering investing in a new project, for which
the following information is available:
£ 000
Initial investment 450
Life of project 4 years
Estimated annual cash flows:
Year 1 150
Year 2 300
Year 3 100
Year 4 100
• Residual value 30
• Cost of capital or discount rate is 10%
PROBLEM 1 (CONTINUED)
Required:
Evaluate the financial viability of the above project
using the following techniques:
I. Payback Period
II. Discounted Payback Period
III. Net Present Value
IV. Internal Rate of Return
Clearly state the assumptions made.

= 2.87 Years
Significance of Discounted Payback Period
• The discounted payback period (DPP) is the amount of time that
it takes (in years) for the initial cost of a project to equal to
discounted value of expected cash flows, or the time it takes to
reach to the break even point from an investment.
• While simple payback period ignores the time value of money
concept, discounted payback period takes the time value of
money into account by discounting each cash flow by the cost of
capital (or, WACC).
• Other things being equal, the shorter the payback period, the
earlier the initial investment will be recovered, and the greater
the liquidity of the project.
• If Project X has a discounted payback period of 5 years, that
means after 5 years, the discounted cash inflow will be enough
to recover the amount of discounted cash outflow.

NPV = Total Discounted Cash Inflows – Investment = 548,210 - 450,000 = 98,210
NPV = 98,210
Significance of NPV
• NPV discounts each inflow and outflow to the
present, and then sums them to see how the
value of the inflows compares to the outflows.

NPV = -33,550
SOLUTION 1 (CONTINUED)
(IV) IRR Calculation
Using linear interpolation IRR can be estimated:
98,210−(−33,550) 98,210−0
= (At IRR, NPV=0)
0.25−0.1 𝑥−0.1
Rearranging gives,
98,210×0.15
x-0.1 =
98,210+33,550
Therefore, x = 0.11+0.1 = 21% approx.
IRR = 21%
Significance of IRR
• IRR is the rate at which cash flows are discounted and such discounted cash flows are
equal to investment amount. This ensures that the project would at least cover the
amount of investment at a particular rate i.e. IRR.
• Mathematically, internal rate of return is a discount rate that makes the net present
value (NPV) of all cash flows from a particular project equal to zero. IRR calculations rely
on the same formula as NPV does.
• The higher a project's internal rate of return, the more desirable it is to undertake. In
theory, any project with an IRR greater than its cost of capital is a profitable one, and
thus it is in a company’s interest to undertake such projects.
• Assuming the costs of investment are equal among the various projects, the project
with the highest IRR would probably be considered the best and be undertaken first.
• Usually IRR and NPV calculation result in the same acceptance or rejection decision.
Any project with positive NPV would have IRR higher than its cost of capital.
• If a firm’s cost of capital is 10%, Project X has IRR of 12%, and Project Y has IRR of 15%,
the company should choose Project Y, if these projects are mutually exclusive. If not,
both of the projects should be chosen, as both would be profitable for the company
from financial perspective.
