TTM
trailing twelve months
1. Ignores the time value of money 2. Requires an arbitrary cutoff point 3. Ignores cash flows beyond the cutoff date 4. Biased against long-term projects, such as research and development, and new projects
what are 4 disadvantages of payback?

what are the 3 pitfalls of internal rate of return?
NPV and IRR
what are the most commonly used primary investment criteria?
1. capital investment 2. operating cash flow 3. investment in working capital
what are the three elements of project cash flows?
capital expenses and working capital
what are the two aspects of applying the net present value rule, rule 1: discount cash flows, not profits?
1. calculate NPV for each project 2. calculate PI = NPV / investment
what are the two steps to calculate profitability index?
1. knowing a return is intuitively appealing 2. it is a simple way to communicate the value of a project to someone who doesn't know all the estimate details 3. if the IRR is high enough, you may not need to estimate a required return, which is often difficult
what are three advantages of IRR?
1. easy to understand and communicate 2. useful when available investment funds are limited
what are two advantages of profitability index?
IRR (because there is more than one IRR when there are more than one negative cash flows)
what can you not use if there are more than one negative cash flows?
time horizon for your investment
what does the "H" in some formulas stand for?
payback
what is a commonly used secondary investment criteria?
market capitalization rate
what is expected return also called?
it may lead to incorrect decisions in comparisons of mutually exclusive investments
what is one disadvantage of profitability index?
working capital
what is the difference between company's short-term assets and liabilities (CA-CL)
real value x (1+inflation)^t
what is the formula for finding nominal value?
[(1 + nominal) / (1 + inflation)] - 1

what is the third pitfall of internal rate of return?
CF from capital investment and disposal + OCF + CF from working capital
what is the total/net cash flow formula?
rule 3: treat inflation consistently
what rule does all of the following: - be consistent in how you handle inflation - use nominal interest rates to discount nominal cash flows - use real interest rates to discount real cash flows - you will get the same results, whether you use nominal or real figures
rule 5: remember to deduct taxes
what rule does all of the following: - cash flows should be estimated on after-tax basis - subtract cash outflows for taxes from pretax cash flows and discount net amount - be careful to subtract cash taxes - cash taxes paid are usually different from taxes reported on the income statement
rule 2: discount incremental cash flows
what rule does all of the following: - include all incidental effects - do not confuse average with incremental payoffs - forecast product sales today but also recognize after-sales cash flows - include opportunity costs - forget sunk costs - beware of allocated overhead costs - remember salvage value

profitability index
when resources are limited, what provides a tool for selecting among various project combinations and alternatives?
payback method
which method uses an arbitrary value?
IRR sometimes ignores the magnitude of the project
why are mutually exclusive projects a pitfall?
because it ignores later year cash flows and the present value of future cash flows
why is the payback method flawed?
$5.5 year: CF(real): nominal: NPV@15%: 0 -100 = -100 -100 1 35 = 35x(1.10)^1= 38.5= 38.5/1.15 = 33.48 2 50 = 50x(1.10)^2= 60.5= 60.5/1.15^2 = 45.75 3 30 = 30x(1.10)^3= 39.9= 39.9/1.15^3 = 26.23 nominal rate = 15% add up NPV values: -100 + 33.48 + 45.75 + 26.23 = 5.5
you invest in a project that will produce real cash flows of -$100 in year zero and then $35, $50, and $30 in the three respective years. If the nominal discount rate is 15% and the inflation rate is 10%, what is the NPV of the project?
