 2.1 The Balance Sheet
 An accountant’s snapshot of the firm’s
accounting value at a specific point in time
 The Balance Sheet Identity is:

Assets ≡ Liabilities + Stockholder’s Equity

 Balance Sheet Analysis
 When analyzing a balance sheet, the Finance
Manager should be aware of three concerns:
1. Accounting liquidity
2. Debt versus equity
3. Value versus cost

McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2007 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
 Accounting Liquidity
 Refers to the ease and quickness with which
assets can be converted to cash—without a
significant loss in value
 Current assets are the most liquid.
 Some fixed assets are intangible.
 The more liquid a firm’s assets, the less likely the
firm is to experience problems meeting short-
term obligations.
 Liquid assets frequently have lower rates of
return than fixed assets.
McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2007 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
 Debt versus Equity
 Creditors generally receive the first claim on
the firm’s cash flow.
 Shareholder’s equity is the residual difference
between assets and liabilities.

McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2007 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
 Value versus Cost
 Under Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP), audited financial
statements of firms in the U.S. carry assets at
cost.
 Market value is the price at which the assets,
liabilities, and equity could actually be bought
or sold, which is a completely different
concept from historical cost.

McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2007 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
 2.2 The Income Statement
 Measures financial performance over a
specific period of time
 The accounting definition of income is:
Revenue – Expenses ≡ Income

 Income Statement Analysis
 There are three things to keep in mind when
analyzing an income statement:
1. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP)
2. Non-Cash Items
3. Time and Costs

McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2007 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
 GAAP
 The matching principal of GAAP dictates that
revenues be matched with expenses.
 Thus, income is reported when it is earned,
even though no cash flow may have occurred.

McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2007 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
 Non-Cash Items
 Depreciation is the most apparent. No firm
ever writes a check for “depreciation.”
 Another non-cash item is deferred taxes,
which does not represent a cash flow.
 Thus, net income is not cash.

McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2007 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
 Time and Costs
 In the short-run, certain equipment, resources, and
commitments of the firm are fixed, but the firm can
vary such inputs as labor and raw materials.
 In the long-run, all inputs of production (and hence
costs) are variable.
 Financial accountants do not distinguish between
variable costs and fixed costs. Instead, accounting
costs usually fit into a classification that
distinguishes product costs from period costs.

McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2007 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
 2.3 Taxes
 The one thing we can rely on with taxes is
that they are always changing
 Marginal vs. average tax rates
 Marginal – the percentage paid on the next dollar
earned
 Average – the tax bill / taxable income

 Other taxes

McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2007 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
 Marginal versus Average Rates
 Suppose your firm earns $4 million in taxable
income.
 What is the firm’s tax liability?
 What is the average tax rate?
 What is the marginal tax rate?
 If you are considering a project that will
increase the firm’s taxable income by $1
million, what tax rate should you use in your
analysis?
McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2007 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
 2.4 Net Working Capital

 Net Working Capital ≡

Current Assets – Current Liabilities

 NWC usually grows with the firm

 2.5 Financial Cash Flow
 In finance, the most important item that can
be extracted from financial statements is the
actual cash flow of the firm.
 Since there is no magic in finance, it must be
the case that the cash flow received from the
firm’s assets must equal the cash flows to
the firm’s creditors and stockholders.
CF(A)≡ CF(B) + CF(S)

 2.6 The Statement of Cash Flows
 There is an official accounting statement called the
statement of cash flows.
 This helps explain the change in accounting cash,
which for U.S. Composite is $33 million in 2006.
 The three components of the statement of cash
flows are:
 Cash flow from operating activities
 Cash flow from investing activities
 Cash flow from financing activities
