Q

NPV

A

discounted cf - cost of capita/ target rate of return - discount rate

+ primary obj, DCF model, time value, account all cf
- understand, estimate discount rate (not constant) , capital is scarce

Q

IRR

A

cost of capital/discount rate when applied = NPV of 0
IRR > target rate (higher is better), mkt rate < discount = +ve IRR
return rate < cost of borrowing = won’t do it
dont know the correct IRR

A

non normal cash flows = more than 1 change in cf direction
project calls for large cash outflow during end of life

Q

estimating cash flows

A
  1. estimate future
  2. incremental
  3. cash
    (working capital)
    inflow = +
    outflow = -

parent view = max MNC value, cf remitted to parent = shows perf, determine financial viability

Q

incremental cash flow

A

relevant, because// all incremental, non cash items not considered
1. sunk costs (exclude) - cant be recovered e.g cost of financial analysis
2. opportunity costs (include) - cash flow without the project, benefits forgone because of the project
3. externalities (include) - 2 product linked e.g. cannibalisation, new product add or take away from existing

Q

sources of finance

A
  1. kd - before tax cost of debt
  2. ke - cost of equity

firms use both E & D to finance - weighted average cost of capital

cost of capital = discount rate = reflect risk and type of cf = increase cost of borrowing = increase risk = political and foreign exchange uncertainty

21
Q

kd

A

interest firm pays to borrow from bank or bond market to fund project
before tax cost of debt
after tax = kd(1-t)

22
Q

ke

A

cost of equity
return (expected) return on equity firm pays investors

23
CAPM
ke = kf + beta(km - kf) = risk free rate + systematic risk (expected return on mkt portfolio
24
Cost of capital
25
Methods of determining cost of capital
1. Convert foreign project cash flows into home currency - predict future ER - discount home currency discount rate 2. NPV calc in foreign currency - discount to NPV foreign discount rate - translate foreign NPV into home NPV @spot
26
Home vs foreign cost of capital
27
computing NPV
currency exchange 1. interest rate parity 2. purchasing power parity
28
interest rate parity
F/S = (1+Rhome) divided by (1 +Roverseas) difference in interest rates in any 2 countries = same as difference between forward and spot rate (of respective currencies)
29
arbitrage
buy in 1 market and sell in another at higher price
30
purchasing power parity
arbitrage based on law of 1 price home per foreign - F0/S0 = 1 +Rh divided by 1 + Rf forward ER/Spot ER = 1 + home interest rate / 1 + foreign interest rate S1/S0 = 1 + ih divided by 1 + if (inflation) expected spot rate divided by current spot rate
31
exposure to international risk
- international = decrease MNC risk to home eco conditions 1. ER movements 2. Foreign exchange conditions 3. political risk
32
foreign exchange risk
- variability of firm value due to uncertain exchange rate (volatile/fluctuate) = risk - MNC = inflow and outflow exchange currency daily 1. Transaction 2. Translation
33
Transaction risk
risk of change = expected value of contract between signing and execution = result of unexpected changes in foreign E.R
34
translation risk
gain and losses from ER occur due to converting financial statements from 1 currency to another = consolidate
35
foreign economies risk
demand of product in foreign country = dependent on economic conditions in market
36
goal of MNC
- max SH wealth - max firm value profit max - SHs, employee rights, creditors, ST & LT
37
political risk
uncertain activities in host gov action/instability = difficult for efficient operations = not operating at full capacity = max profit in unstable turbulence = negative influence on c.f. e.g terrorism and war
38
agency theory
conflict of interest between principals (SHs) & agents (manager/employees) - regarding profit, dividends and retaining -self interested behaviour
39
self interested behaviour
imperfect labour & capital markets managers max own utility = expense of corporate SH managers = consume corp resource, risk averse = outside inv see decisions are made contrasting best interest
40
agency costs
costs borne by SHs = encourage managers to max SH wealth rather than own self interest - monitor managers - structuring organisation - opportunity costs from SHs, restrictions = limit manager ability to max wealth
41
management style of MNC
1. centralised = direct control of foreign subsidiaries = reduce agency costs - everything back to parent 2. decentralised = max wealth of MNC SHs = max overall MNC wealth, agency more significant
42
depreciation
straight line method cost - scrap value divided by useful life tax deductible not cash flow
43
2 methods
1. convert foreign - home, predict future ER, discount @ home currency discount rate (cost of capital) 2. NPV call in foreign currency, discount NPV at foreign discount rate, translate foreign NPV to home at spot rate
44
taxable profit
operating cash flow (inflows) - depreciation
45
NPV
sum of present values
46
discount factor
1 divided (1 + r) to power of t
47
Double taxation
levying of tax by 2 or more jurisdictions on same declared income (income taxes) , asset (capital taxes) or financial transaction (sales taxes) double liability often mitigated by tax treaties between countries
48
methods of double taxation
1. deduction 2. exemption 3. credit
49
deduction
allow tax as expense tax on net tax after profits not original - pay tax on the amount after other country has taxed
50
exemption
making foreign income exempt country of residence doesnt tax foreign income of residents
51
credit
country of residence gives credit for foreign tax paid refund what paid in foreign
