Session 9: More on cash flows

  • čas přidán 21. 02. 2023
  • In this session, we began by looking at broad definitions of cash flows, before embarking on updating, normalizing and cleaning up accounting earnings. In particular, we talked about why we capitalize lease commitments and R&D expenses, and how they affect valuation inputs. We continued our discussion of cash flows, by first putting to rest some final issues on earnings, including the tax rate to use in computing after-tax cash flows and dealing with money losing companies. In the process, we did look at what to do about accounting fraud, and while the answer is not much, there may be a role for forensic accounting. To be honest, most forensic accounting books are designed for valuation morticians, but here are a couple that you may find useful:

    Thanks for spreading so valuable knowledge for free, professor. I have a question if anyone could help me: when he says that treating R&D as an OPEX increases ROA because it decreases the denominator, doesn't it decrease the numerator as well, nullyfing the effect?

    • @user-xu9dx8vb4d
      @user-xu9dx8vb4d Před 5 měsíci

      Well, it won't be an equal effect on both numerator and denominator. Let's go through it this way:
      Assume an x amt. of R&D for all the yrs. and amortizable life of 5 yrs.
      So your unamortized R&D would come out to be 3x and amortization this year would be x.
      [You can see it as:
      unamortized R&D = x + 0.8x + 0.6x + 0.4x + 0.2x + 0.0x
      and amortization = 5*(0.2x)]
      Taking the difference, that would be an effective decrease in Equity of 2x while in numerator decrease would be only x [Ignoring the tax benefit in the calcs to simplify]
      Thus, we can see how conventional accounting is inflating the Return on Capital.
      Hope it's understandable...

    @Aswath Damodaran thank you for the lesson professor. Purchased 2 of your books already. I have a tricky question about the Sales to Capital ratio: when you're estimating the current sales to capital ratio, would you include negative retained earnings in the denominator of the Sales/Capital equation?
    My thoughts are that including the negative retained earnings can highly overestimate the metric for a company that's received a lot of funding but has accumulated significant losses over time (and therefore shouldn't be included)
    Thank you in advance!

      Retained earnings is not a measure of invested capital. Retained earnings is a theoretical profit accumulation balance - if its negative it means the company has not made any profit over its history, given the summation of all net income over periods.
      Keep it simple: there are only TWO SOURCES of capital to fund a business: money thats invested by holders of equity, and/or, money that is borrowed. Anything that doesnt folllow that definition is muted.

    I have a question. If we ignore short term loan in current liabilities for noncash working capital since we can add it to the cost of capital then what about when calculating FCFE. We only have cost of equity to work with and we can't add debt to that equation right?

  • @Abhishek-gv8dg
    @Abhishek-gv8dg Před 7 měsíci

    25:42-> Don't you think once we start capitalising R&D (even those with lower probability to be commercialised), it will go against the fundamental element of an asset recognition ('bring in future benefit')?

  • @bhanuvohra4681
    @bhanuvohra4681 Před 11 měsíci +1

    Hello Sir,
    The reason why RnD is expensed is because if the research isn’t fruitful then the entire RnD cost needs to be expensed at once. For ex, if SAP stalled the RnD in the current year then they would have to expense the entire 2.9m capitalised cost to PnL in CY. This would result in abnormal loss. Therefore in accounting only Development cost is capitalised on achieving technical feasibility when the future cashflows can be reasonably estimated.
    It's the same logic that you gave for increase in head count.
