    Study Notes

    Sensitivity Analysis

    • Assess the impact of variable changes on a project's outcomes.
    • Helps determine how sensitive results are to changes in assumptions.

    Annuity

    • Series of equal payments made at regular intervals over time.
    • Can be received or paid, commonly used in loans and investments.

    Growing Annuity

    • Similar to an annuity, but payments increase at a constant rate over time.
    • Useful for modeling cash flows that are expected to grow, like retirement income.

    Return on Equity (ROE)

    • Measures a company's profitability relative to shareholder equity.
    • Indicates how effectively management is using equity to generate profits.

    Fixed Costs

    • Costs that do not change with the level of production or sales.
    • Examples include rent, salaries, and insurance.

    Annuity Factor

    • A factor used to calculate the present value of annuity cash flows.
    • Simplifies the calculation by multiplying the payment amount by the annuity factor.

    Receivables Turnover

    • Measures how efficiently a company collects its receivables.
    • Calculated by dividing net credit sales by average accounts receivable.

    Inventory Turnover

    • Indicates how quickly a company sells its inventory.
    • Higher turnover suggests efficient inventory management and product demand.

    Profitability Index

    • Ratio used to evaluate the attractiveness of an investment.
    • Calculated as the present value of future cash flows divided by the initial investment cost.

    Perpetuity

    • A financial instrument that provides constant payments indefinitely.
    • Common examples include certain types of bonds or preferred shares.

    Equity Multiplier

    • Measures a firm's financial leverage by comparing total assets to shareholder equity.
    • A higher multiplier indicates greater reliance on debt for financing.

    Financial Leverage

    • Refers to the use of borrowed funds to amplify returns on investments.
    • Increases potential returns but also raises risk.

    Loan Amortization Plan

    • Typically includes a schedule outlining principal and interest payments over time.
    • Ensures the loan is paid off in full by the end of the term.

    Net Present Value (NPV)

    • Applied to evaluate the profitability of an investment or project by calculating the present value of expected cash flows minus the initial investment.
    • Positive NPV indicates the investment is likely profitable.

    Real Option in Decision Making

    • Provides the flexibility to make investment decisions in response to changing circumstances.
    • Enables management to adapt to new information or market conditions.
