Finance Formulae

Description: A compiled listing of the most common and useful fiance formulas.









NPV = PVinflows – PVoutflows
IRR = i that makes NPV = 0
UAS – annuity that = PV of irregular cash flow pattern

 Ri = realized asset = expected return








ß=1 ⇒ average risk ß<1 ⇒ below average risk ß>1 ⇒ above average risk



CAPM relates a security's relevant risk (ß) to expected return.


















NPV (loan) = Amount borrowed – PV (all after-tax payments)


APV (Adjusted PV) = All equity value – PV(FC) + NPV(loan)
  1. Calculate NPV for all-equity financing
  2. Adjust NPV for flotation costs
  3. Adjust NPV for tax shield + subsidization


WACC (weighted average cost of capital)



{D + E = V}



Pure Play Method
  1. Find publicly traded company with business similar
  2. to proposed project.
  3. Determine equity beta (ße) for pre-play firm's stock.
  4. Calculate pure-play assets ßA 





Loan $ = Gross Proceeds (1 – FC%)


When to Lease?
If there is a tax differential or if the lease lowers transaction costs and/or reduces uncertainty




RRRD = Rf + ßD[Rm – Rf]
RRRA = Rf + ßA[Rm – Rf]
ROE = ROA + D/E[ROA – Rf]
ROA = RRREu = Rf + ßA[Rm – Rf] - expected return on an un-levered firm's assets
RRREl = RRREu + D/E [RRREu – RRRD]
ROA = [E/(D+E)](ROE)  + [D/(D+E)](Rf)
ßA = [D/(D+E)]( bD)  + [E/(D+E)]( ßE)
ßE = ßA + D/E(ßA – ßD)
E(RE) = Rf + ßE  [E(Rm) – Rf] - M&M CAPM (Equity)


Payout Ratio = % Earnings paid as dividends
Retention Ratio = 1 – Payout Ratio
g = (Retention Ratio)(ROE)
ROE = NI/Earnings = Earnings/Book Equity






PVGO = PV[PV(cash inflows at time t) – PV(cash outflows at time t)] – present value growth option








Valuefirm = Cost of Assets + PV(OCF)
E = VF – D {D = amount borrowed/rD}










Pre-Offer Post-Offer
# shares 600,000 750,000
Value of Equity $60,000,000 $70,500,000
Price/Share $100 $94
{$94 figure calculated based on offering price}

1 share offered for $70 + 4 rights {150,000 new shares offered ⇒ $10,500,000 add'l equity}
⇒ 4 rights = $94 - $70 = $24
⇒ 1 right = $6

M&M (Modigliani and Miller)
Proposition 1: method of structuring D/E has no effect on firm value
Proposition 2: cost of equity capital increases as amount of debt increases

Assumes:
  1. No taxes
  2. No transaction costs
