Study Notes

Cash Flow Projection and Financing Options

  • Cash flow projection: a forecast of a company's inflows and outflows of cash over a specific period
  • Importance of maintaining a positive cash flow:
    • Ensures ability to meet financial obligations
    • Allows for investment in growth opportunities
    • Enhances credibility with suppliers and lenders
  • Implications of a negative cash flow:
    • Inability to meet financial obligations
    • Insolvency and potential bankruptcy
    • Reduced credibility with suppliers and lenders
  • Two common sources of finance for startups:
    • Personal savings (advantages: low-cost, no debt repayment; disadvantages: limited funds, personal financial risk)
    • Bank loans (advantages: larger funds, professional guidance; disadvantages: debt repayment, interest rates)

Net Present Value (NPV) and Payback Period

  • Net Present Value (NPV): the difference between the present value of expected cash inflows and outflows
  • Importance of NPV:
    • Evaluates investment profitability
    • Compares investment opportunities
    • Considers time value of money
  • Payback period: the time it takes to recover an investment
  • Calculating payback period: divide initial investment by annual cash inflows
  • Factors affecting NPV and payback period decisions:
    • Interest rate
    • Investment horizon
    • Non-financial factors (e.g. cultural and historical significance)

Marginal Value, Breakeven Point, and Cost Analysis

  • Marginal value (contribution margin): the difference between selling price and variable cost
  • Importance of marginal value:
    • Evaluates profitability of individual products
    • Guides production and pricing decisions
  • Breakeven point: the point at which total revenue equals total fixed and variable costs
  • Calculating breakeven point:
    • In terms of units sold: divide total fixed costs by (selling price - variable cost)
    • In terms of revenue: multiply breakeven point in units by selling price
  • Recommendations to increase profit margin:
    • Increase selling price (if demand is inelastic)
    • Reduce variable costs (e.g. through efficient production or renegotiated supply contracts)
