The Balance Sheet
Current Assets
• Assets likely to be converted to cash within
a year (or one operating cycle)
marketable securities
accounts receivable
Inventory
Current Liabilities
• Liabilities scheduled to be paid within a
year (or one operating cycle)
accounts payable
accrued wages
11
debt with less than a year’s maturity
The Balance Sheet
Net Working Capital
NET WORKING CAPITAL =
TOTAL CURRENT ASSETS – TOTAL CURRENT
LIABILITIES
• Net working capital is a measure of a firm’s
ability to meet its short-term obligations as they
come due.
• One way that firms maintain their liquidity is by
holding more current assets.
12
The Balance Sheet
Net Working Capital Example
• Diaz Manufacturing
Total current assets = $1,039.8 million
Total current liabilities = $377.8 million
Net working capital = Total current assets
- Total current liabilities
= $1,039.8 million - $377.8 million
= $662.0 million
Is is positive or negative?

The Balance Sheet
Inventory Accounting
• Inventory (least liquid current asset) reported using one of two
methods
The Balance Sheet
Inventory Accounting
• When the cost of inventory is increasing
FIFO reporting says a firm sold the less expensive inventory and leads to
higher balance in inventory
lower cost-of-goods-sold
higher taxable income
higher income taxes
higher net income
LIFO reporting says a firm sold the more expensive inventory and leads to
lower balance in inventory
higher cost-of-goods-sold
lower taxable income
lower income taxes
lower net income

The Balance Sheet
Long-Term Assets
• Real Assets
land
buildings
equipment
• Intangible Assets
goodwill
patents
copyrights
The Balance Sheet
Long-Term Assets
• Real assets decline with use and are depreciated
Depreciation expense reduces taxable income and income taxes.
Assets are depreciated using either the straight line or accelerated
depreciation method.

Market Value vs. Book Value
Asset Valuation
• Better information is provided to
management and investors by marking-to-
market — reporting balance sheet items at
current market values
difficult to determine market values of assets
• The difference between the market values
of assets and liabilities is a realistic
estimate of the market value of
shareholders’ equity

The Income Statement
Net Income example
• Diaz Manufacturing
Revenues = $1,563.7 million
Expenses = $1,445.2 million
Net Income = Revenues – Expenses
= $1,563.7 million - $1,445.2 million
= $ 118.5 million
The Income Statement
Depreciation
• The cost of a physical asset, such as plant or
machinery, is written off over its lifetime.
This is called depreciation, a non-cash
expense
• Firms use one of these depreciation
methods
straight-line depreciation
accelerated depreciation
Firms may choose to use one for internal purposes and another for tax purposes or
for statements released to the public.
The Income Statement
Depreciation
• Example:
On December 9, 2017, you buy a computer for your business and
pay $2,500 in cash. The computer is estimated to have a useful life
of five years. You create an annual depreciation expense of $500 for
the next five years.
In 2017, you record a depreciation expense of $500 on the income
statement and an investment of $2,500 on the cash flow statement.
The next year, you must record a depreciation expense of $500 on
the income statement. There is no investment recorded on the cash
flow statement.
The $500 depreciation in the example above is a noncash expense
as there is no cash outlay but the expense is recognized. The capital
cost of the asset is recorded only once in the cash flow statement.
The Income Statement
Amortization
• Amortization expense is related to using
intangible assets
patents
licenses
Like depreciation, it is a non-cash expense.
The Income Statement
Extraordinary Item
• Income or expense associated with events
that are infrequent and abnormal
separated from the results of ordinary income
shown separately on the income statement
Examples: Gain or losses from flood, fires, earthquakes or accidents.
The Income Statement
EBITDA and EBIT
• Earnings-before-interest-taxes-
depreciation-and-amortization (EBITDA)
income from selling goods and services minus the cost of providing them
• Earnings-before-interest-and-taxes
(EBIT)
EBITDA minus depreciation and amortization
The Income Statement
EBT and NI
• Earnings-before-taxes (EBT)
EBIT minus interest expense
taxable income
• Net income (NI)
EBT minus taxes
Statement of Retained Earnings
Retained earnings
• Shows cumulative effect of adjustments
to shareholders’ equity resulting from
profit, losses, and paying dividends
• Shows changes in the account for a
period based on profit, loss, or dividend
paid

Cash Flows
Statement of Cash Flows
• Summarizes cash outflows and cash
inflows during a period
• Cash flows result from operating
activities, investing activities, and
financing activities
• Net cash flows equals cash inflows minus
cash outflows
Diaz Manufacturing
Statement of Cash Flows
Uses of cash
• Increases in assets
• Decreases in liabilities and equity
• EX: additional inventory, retirement of debt,
purchase of treasury stock, dividend
payment,…
Sources of cash
• Decreases in assets
• Increases in liabilities and equity
• EX: sales of plant assets,
bond/stock insuance…

Cash Flows
Net Cash Flows versus Net Income
• Accountants focus on net income and
shareholders focus on net cash flows.
These are not the same because of delays
in inflows and outflows, and non-cash
revenues and expenses
Cash Flows
Cash Flows to investors
• Cash flows available to investors from
operating activities (CFOA)
CFOA EBIT – Current Taxes
Noncash expenses (3.4)
47
Cash Flows
CFOA Example
• Diaz Manufacturing
EBIT = $168.4 million
Current Taxes = $44.3 million
Non-cash expenses = $83.1 million
48
Cash Flows
Cash Flows to Working Capital
• To compute the net cash flows into or out
of working capital
CFNWC NWCCurrent Period - NWCPrevious Period (3.5)
49
Cash Flows
CFNWC Example
• Diaz Manufacturing
NWC 2011 = $662.0 million
NWC 2010 = $342.0 million
CFNWC 2011
NWC 2011
– NWC 2010
$662.0m - $342.0
$320.0 million
What does this number indicate?
50
Cash Flows
Cash Flows invested in long-term
assets
• To compute the net cash flows
from the purchases and sales of
long-term assets
CFLTA Long - term assetsCurrent Period - Long - term assetsPrevious Period (3.6)
51
Cash Flows
Putting it all together
• CFNWC and CFLTA are subtracted from
CFOA because investments in both net
working capital and long-term assets
reduce the cash flow available to
investors
CFI CFOA - CFNWC - CFLTA (3.7)
Is a negative or positive
number good?
