1. Comparative Analysis

Comparative Analysis involves the comparison against the company’s past performance, against another company’s performance or against the industry average. Comparison against a benchmark will enable users to make an informed and better decision.

a) Horizontal Analysis Involves the comparison of items in the

financial statements over a two year period or more.

Comparison can be made against last year’s performance or against few years.


6 88


1. Comparative Analysis

a) Vertical Analysis As not all companies are of the same size,

and comparing the absolute results of different businesses of dissimilar sizes will not provide an adequate picture.

By turning the absolute figures into percentage, we could make a more meaningful interpretation of the data.

We will compare percentages rather than the absolute figure (overcome the problems of companies with different sizes).


6 99


1. Financial Ratio Analysis Shows the relationship between an item in

the income statement or balance sheet with

another item. Provide a meaningful data and will enable

users to understand the financial statement.

a) Profitability Ratios Measure the ability of a business entity to

earn profits. Used as an indicator of how efficient and

effective a company is in achieving its profit.


6 1010


1. Financial Ratio Analysis

a) Profitability Ratios1) Gross Profit Margin (Ratio)

Measures the gross profit earned for every Ringgit sales.

Higher gross profit ratio indicates strong performance as the company has more profit to pay for its sales & administrative expenses.

Gross Profit Ratio = ( Gross Profit / Net Sales) x 100


6 1111



a) Profitability Ratios1) Net Profit Margin (Ratio)

Measures the net profit earned for every Ringgit sales.

Higher net profit ratio indicates strong performance as the company has more profit to pay dividends to shareholders.

Net Profit Ratio = ( Net Profit / Net Sales) x 100


6 1212



a) Profitability Ratios1) Earning Per Share (EPS)

Measures the earning that is earned by each ordinary share after paying for tax and preference shares dividend.

The higher the earning per share the better it is.

EPS = ( Earning after Tax – Div for PS) / Total OS

PS – Preference Share, OS – Ordinary Share


6 1313

B. Analysis of Financial Statements1. Financial Ratio Analysis

a) Liquidity Ratios

Liquidity refers to the ability to generate

or raise cash.

Measure the ability of a company to meet

short term obligations or debts that might

be unexpectedly demanded to be paid

before its maturity dates.

If a company fails to pay its debts, it could

mean an end to the business.


6 1414



a) Liquidity Ratios1) Current Ratio

Measures the ability of a business entity to pay up current liabilities.

A current ratio of 2:1 indicates strong ability to meet short term debts.

The higher the current ratio, the more liquid the company is said to be.

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities


6 1515



a) Liquidity Ratios1) Quick Ratio

Also known as acid test ratio. Measures how many quick assets there

are to cover quick liabilities. Comprises of cash, receivables and

market securities and exclude inventory.

Current Ratio = [CA – (Inventory + Prepaid)] / CL

CA – Current Asset, CL – Current Liabilities


6 1616



a) Activity Ratios

Measure the effectiveness and ability of a

company in its resources.

It can indicate how effective a company’s

inventory is being used to generate sales

or how efficient is the collection of debts

by a company.


6 1717



a) Activity Ratios1) Accounts Receivable Turnover (ART)

Measures how fast accounts receivable is collected.

Indicates the effectiveness of a business entity in managing its accounts receivables.

ART = Net Credit Sales / *Ave Account Receivable

*Ave Acc Rec = (Opening Acc Rec + Closing Acc Rec)/2


6 1818



a) Activity Ratios1) Inventory Turnover

Measures the ability of a business entity to sell its inventory.

Indicates the number of times inventory is sold.

Inventory Turnover = COGS / *Ave Inventory

COGS – Cost of Good Sold

*Ave Inventory = (Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory)/2


6 1919



a) Activity Ratios

1) Total Assets Turnover (TAT)

Measure the relationship between sales

levels against the average total sales.

Measures the effectiveness of total

sales which are used in generating

sales.

TAT = Net Sales / Average Total Assets


6 2020



a) Gearing Ratios

Measure how much the assets of a

company is financed by creditor rather

than the owners.

High proportion of shareholders fund

indicates financial strength.

Heavy reliance on borrowing indicates the

risk to the investors as debts require

repayments of loan principal amount and

the interest expenses.


6 2121



a) Gearing Ratios

1) Equity Ratios

Measure the financial structure of a

company.

Higher equity ratios indicate stability.

Equity Ratio = (*Total OS Fund / Total

Assets) x 100

* Total Ordinary Shareholder Fund include retained

earnings and reserves but exclude preference

shares


6 2222



a) Gearing Ratios

1) Debts Ratios

Measures the financial structure of a company.

Higher debt ratios indicate that a company face a

higher risk in its ability to settle its debts.

Debt Ratio = *Total Debts / Total Assets) x 100

* Total debts = Total Liabilities + Preference S/holders Fund


6 2323



a) Gearing Ratios

1) Debts to Equity Ratios (DER) Measures how much of total debts are

covered by equity. The lower ratio the better it is as

indicates the amount owned by equity is more than liabilities.

DER = *Total Debts / Total Shareholder

Equity

* Total debts = Total Liabilities + Preference

S/holders Fund

1. The Interest Rate

Which would you prefer -- $10,000 today or

$10,000 in 5 years?

Obviously, $10,000 today.

You already recognize that there is

TIME VALUE TO MONEY!!


6 28



TIME allows you the opportunity to postpone consumption and earn INTERESTINTEREST.

Why is TIME such an important element in your decision?


6 29



a) Simple Interest Interest paid (earned) on only the original

amount, or principal, borrowed (lent).

b) Compound Interest Interest paid (earned) on nay previous

interest earned, as well as on the principal

borrowed (lent).


6 30



Simple Interest - Formula

SI = P0(i)(n)P0(i)(n)

Where SI = Simple Interest

P0 = Deposit Today (t=0)

i = Interest Rate Per Period

n = Number of Time Periods


6 31



Simple Interest - Example

Assume that you deposit RM1,000 in an account earning 7% simple interest for 2 years. What is the accumulated interest at the end of the 2nd year?

SI=P0(i)(n)=RM1,000(.07)(2) = RM140


6 32



a) Compound Interest

When interest paid on an investment during

the first period is added to the principal.

During the second period, interest is earned

on the new sum.


6 33



a) Compound Interest - Formula

CI = P(1 + i)n

Where CI = Compound Interest

P = Deposit Today

i = Interest Rate Per Period

n = Number of Time Periods


6 34



a) Compound Interest – ExampleDavid deposited RM100 into his saving account

in Maybank for 5 years with interest of 5% per

annum. What is the return that he is expected to

receive at the end of 5th year?


6 35



a) Frequency of Compounding - Formula

FVn = PV0(1 + [i/m])mn

Where n = Compounding Period per year

i = Annual Interest Rate

FVn,m= FV at the end of Year n

PV0= PV of the Cash Flow today


6 36



a) Frequency of Compounding - Example

Suppose you deposit $1,000 in an account that

pays 12% interest, compounded quarterly. How

much will be in the account after eight years if

there are no withdrawals?


6 37



a) Frequency of Compounding - Question

John deposit $1,000 in an account that pays 12%

interest, compounded monthly. How much will be

in the account after one year if there are no

withdrawals?


6 38


1. Future Value - Formula

FV = PV (1+i)n

Where FV = Future Value

PV = Present Value

i = Rate of interest per compounding period

n = Number of Compounding Periods


6 39


1. Future Value - Example

If you invested $2,000 today in an account that pays 6% interest, with interest compounded annually, how much will be in the account at the end of two years if there are no withdrawals?

0 1 2

$2,000

FV

6 41


1. Present Value - Formula

Since FV = PV(1 + i)n.

PV = FV / (1+i)n.

Where FV = Future Value

PV = Present Value

i = Rate of interest per compounding period

n = Number of Compounding Periods


6 42


1. Present Value - Example

Assume that you need to have exactly $4,000 saved 10 years from now. How much must you deposit today in an account that pays 6% interest, compounded annually, so that you reach your goal of $4,000?

1. Annuities An Annuity represents a series of equal

payments (or receipts) occurring over a

specified number of equidistant periods.

Examples of Annuities Include:

- Car Loan Payments

- Insurance Premiums

- Mortgage Payments


6 45


1. Annuities

a) Annuities Future Value - Formula

FVAn = R(1+i)n-1 + R(1+i)n-2 + ... + R(1+i)1 + R(1+i)0

a) Annuities Future Value - Question

If one saves $1,000 a year at the end of every

year for three years in an account earning 7%

interest, compounded annually, how much will

one have at the end of the third year?


6 47


1. Annuitiesa) Annuities Present Value - Formula

1. Annuitiesa) Annuities Present Value - Question

If one agrees to repay a loan by paying $1,000

a year at the end of every year for three years

and the discount rate is 7%, how much could

one borrow today?


6 49


1. Amortization - Example

Julie Miller is borrowing $10,000 at a compound annual interest rate of 12%. Amortize the loan if annual payments are made for 5 years.

PV0 = R (PVIFA i%,n)

$10,000 = R (PVIFA 12%,5)

$10,000 = R (3.605)R = $10,000 / 3.605 = $2,774

1. Amortization – Example (Table)

[Last Payment Slightly Higher Due to Rounding]


6 51


1. Amortization – Question

Supposed you borrow $6,655 to make repairs to your house, and the loan is considered a second mortgage. The term of the loan require you to make payments every three months I.e. quarterly for the next two years and the simple interest rate is 6 percent p.a. What is the amount that must be paid every three months?

Securities Valuation


6 55


1. Preferred Stock Preferred Stock is often referred to as

a hybrid security because it has many characteristics of both common and bonds.

Like common stocks- No fixed maturity date.- Failure to pay dividends does not bring on bankruptcy.

Like bonds- Dividends are for a limited time.


6 56


1. Preferred Stock – Features

a) Multiple series of Preferred Stock

b) Preferred Stock’s claim on asset &

income

c) Cumulative dividends

d) Protective provisions

e) Convertibility

f) Retirement features

g) Callable


6 57



a) Multiple series of Preferred Stock If a company desires, it can issue

more than one series of preferred stock, and each series can have different characteristics.- Convertible- Protective provisions


6 58



a) Claims on Assets and Income Preferred stock has priority over

Common Stock with regard to claim on assets in the case of bankruptcy.

Honored before common stockholders, but after bonds.

Must pay dividends to preferred stockholders before it pays common stockholder dividends.


6 59



a) Cumulative Dividends Cumulative features requires that all

past, unpaid preferred stock dividends be paid before any common stock dividends are declared.

b) Protective Provisions Protective provisions generally allow

for voting rights in the event of non payment of dividends.


6 60



a) Convertibility Convertible preferred stock can, at

the discretion of the holder, be converted into a predetermined number of shares of common stock.

Almost one third of preferred stock issued today is convertible.

Reduces the cost of the preferred stock to the issue


6 61



a) Retirement Features Although preferred stock has no set

maturity associated with it, issuing firms generally provide for some method of retiring the stock.

b) Callable A call provision entitles a company

to repurchase its preferred stock from their holders at stated prices over a given time period.

1. Common Stock Common stock is a certificate that

indicates ownership in a corporation. Has no maturity date. Dividend payments will normally

divided into Interim & Final Dividend In the event of bankruptcy, common

stockholders will not receive any payment until the creditors, including the bondholders and preferred stockholders, have been satisfied.


6 64


1. Common Stock – Features

a) Claim on income

b) Claim on assets

c) Voting rights

d) Preemptive rights

e) Limited liability


6 65



a) Claim on income

Common shareholders have the

right to residual income after

bondholders and preferred

stockholders have been paid

Can be in the form of dividends or

retained earnings.


6 66



a) Claim on assets

Common stock has a residual claim

on assets after claims of debt

holders and preferred stockholders.

If bankruptcy occurs, claims of the

common shareholders generally go

unsatisfied.


6 67



a) Voting Rights Common shareholders are entitled

to elect the board of directors. Most often are the only security

holders with a vote. A proxy gives a designated party the

temporary power of attorney to vote for the signee at the corporation’s annual general meeting.


6 68



a) Preemptive Rights Preemptive right entitles the

common shareholder to maintain a proportionate share of ownership in the corporation.

Rights – certificates issued to the shareholders giving them an option to purchase a stated number of shares of stock at a specified price during a two to ten week period.


6 69



a) Limited Liability Liability of the shareholder is limited

to the amount of their investment.

Limited liability feature aids the firm in raising funds.

Consider the valuation of a common

stock that paid RM2.00 dividend at the

end of the last year and is expected to

pay a cash dividend in the future.

Dividends are expected to grow at 10%

and the investors required rate of

6 72


1. Bond – type of debt or long term promissory note, issued by a borrower, promising to its holder a predetermined and fixed amount of interest per year.

a) Types of Bondsi. Debentures

Any unsecured long term debt. Viewed as more risky than

secured bonds and provide a higher yield than secured bonds.


6 73


1. Bond

a) Types of Bondsi. Mortgage Bonds

A bond secured by a lien on real property.

Typically, the value of the real property is greater than that of the bonds issued.

ii. Eurobonds Securities (bonds) issued in a

country different from the one in whose currency the bond is denominated.


6 74


1. Bond

a) Types of Bondsi. Zero Coupon Bonds

Issued at a substantial discount from the RM1,000 face value with a zero coupon rate.

Return comes from appreciation of the bonds.

Advantages – cash outflows don’t occur with zero coupon bonds.


6 75


1. Bond

a) Types of Bonds

i. Junk Bonds (High Yield Bonds)

High risk debt with ratings of BB

or below by Moody’s and

Standard & Poor’s.

High yield – typically pay 3% ~

5% more than AAA grade long

term bonds.


6 76


1. Bond

a) Terminologyi. Claims on assets and income

In the case of insolvency, claims of debt, including bonds are honored before those of common or preferred stock.

ii. Par Value Face value of the bond, returned

to the bondholder at maturity. Corporate bonds are issued at

denomination of RM1,000


6 77


1. Bond

a) Terminologyi. Coupon Interest Rate

The percentage of the par value of the bond that will be paid out annually in the form of interest.

ii. Maturity The length of time until the bond

issuer returns the par value to the bondholder and terminates or redeem the bonds.


6 78


1. Bond

a) Terminologyi. Convertibility

May allow the investor to exchange the bond for a predetermined number of the firm’s shares of common stock.

ii. Indenture The legal agreement between the

firm issuing the bond and the trustee who represents the bondholders.


6 79


1. Bonda) Terminology

i. Call Provision A provision such that if the

prevailing interest rate declines, the firm may want to pay off the bonds early and reissue at a more favorable interest rate.

Issuer must pay the bondholder at premium.

There is also call protection period where the firm can’t call for a specified period.


6 80


1. Bonda) Valuation

Assigning a value to an asset by calculating the present value of its expected future cash flows using the investor’s required rate of return as the discount rate.

The value of a bond is combination of:-- the amount and timing of cash

flows to be received by investors.- the time to maturity of the loan.- the investor’s required rate of return.

6 84


1. Bonda) Valuation – 3 important relationships

First Relationships The value of a bond is inversely

related changes in investor’s present required rate of return (interest rate).

As interested rate increases (decreases), the value of the bond decreases (increases).


6 85



Second Relationship The market value of a bond will be

less than the par value if the investor’s required rate of return is above the coupon interest rate.

However, it will be valued above par value if the investor’s required rate of return is below the coupon interest rate.


6 86



Third Relationship Long term bonds have greater

interest rate risk than the short term bonds.

E. Risk & Return

1. Risk & Returna) What is Risk?

The possibility that an actual return will differ from our expected return.

Uncertainty in the distribution of possible outcomes.

b) What is Return? Expected Return - the return that an investor

expects to earn on an asset, given its price, growth potential, etc.

Required Return - the return that an investor requires on an asset given its risk.


6 89

E. Risk & Return1. Expected Return - Example

(P) Company A Company B

Recession .20 4% -10%

Normal .50 10% 14%

Boom .30 14% 30%

k = P(k1)*k1 + P(k2)*k2 + ...+ P(kn)*kn

k (OU) = .2 (4%) + .5 (10%) + .3 (14%) = 10%

k (OT) = .2 (-10%)+ .5 (14%) + .3 (30%) = 14%


6 90

E. Risk & Return

1. How do we Measure Risk?

A more scientific approach is to

examine the stock’s STANDARD

DEVIATION of returns.

Standard deviation is a measure of the

dispersion of possible outcomes.

The greater the standard deviation, the

greater the uncertainty, and therefore ,

the greater the RISK.


6 91

E. Risk & Return1. How do we Measure Risk?

Which stock would you prefer? How would you decide?

It depends on your tolerance for risk! Remember there’s a tradeoff between risk and return.


6 94

E. Risk & Return

1. Diversification Investing in more than one security to

reduce risk. If two stocks are perfectly positively

correlated, diversification has no effect on

risk. If two stocks are perfectly negatively

correlated, the portfolio is perfectly

diversified. If you owned a share of every stock

traded on the BSKL and Mesdaq, would

you be diversified? YES! Would you have eliminated all of your

risk? NO! Common Stock portfolios still

have risk.


6 95

E. Risk & Return

1. Diversification Some risk can be diversified away and some can

not.a) Market Risk is also called Non - diversifiable

risk. This type of risk can not be diversified away.

Unexpected changes in interest rates. Unexpected changes in cash flows due to

tax rate changes, foreign competition, and the overall business cycle.


6 96

E. Risk & Return

1. Diversificationa) Firm-Specific risk is also called diversifiable

risk. This type of risk can be reduced through diversification.

A company’s labor force goes on strike.

A company’s top management dies in a plane crash.

A huge oil tank bursts and floods a company’s production area.


6 97

E. Risk & Return

1. Market Risk As we know, the market compensates investors for

accepting risk - but only for market risk. Firm-specific risk can and should be diversified away. So - we need to be able to measure market risk.

Beta: a measure of market risk. Specifically, it is a measure of how an individual

stock’s returns vary with market returns. It’s a measure of the “sensitivity” of an

individual stock’s returns to changes in the market.


6 98

E. Risk & Return

1. Market Risk

A firm that has a beta = 1 has average market risk. The stock is no more or less volatile than the market.

A firm with a beta > 1 is more volatile than the market (ex: computer firms).

A firm with a beta < 1 is less volatile than the market (ex: utilities).


6 99

E. Risk & Return

1. Summary of Risk & Return

We know how to measure risk, using standard deviation for overall risk and beta for market risk.

We know how to reduce overall risk through diversification.

We need to know how to price risk so we will know how much extra return we should require for accepting extra risk.

6 101


1. Importance of Capital Budgeting

Capital budgeting is the process of evaluating

proposed large, long-term investment projects.

capital budgeting ensures that proposed

investment will add value to the firm.

Effective capital budgeting can improve both the

timing of asset acquisitions and the quality of

assets purchased.


6 102


1. Capital Budgeting Decision Method

a) Payback Period (PBP)

PBP is the period of time required for the cumulative expected cash flows from an investment project to equal the initial cash outflows.

Formula for PBP :-

PBP = Year b4 full recovery +

Unrecovered cost at start of yr

Cash flow during year


6 103



a) Net Present Value (NPV)

The present value of an investment project’s

net cash flows minus the project’s initial cash

outflow.

Formula for NPV :-

6 104




NPV’s values:- NPV = 0, the firm’s overall value will not

change if the new project is adopted.

NPV > 0, the firm’s overall value will

increase.

NPV < 0, the firm’s overall value will be

decrease.


6 105




NPV’s Decision Rules:- For independent projects : accept all

independent projects having NPVs greater

than or equal to 0.

For mutually exclusive projects : projects

having highest positive NPV will be

ranked first.


6 106



a) Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

IRR is the estimated rate of return for a

proposed project, given the project’s

incremental cash flows.

a) Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

IRR Decision Rules:-

For independent project – accept projects

having IRRs greater than the hurdle rate.

For mutually exclusive projects – projects

are ranked from highest to lowest IRR.


6 108



a) Conflicting ranking between NPV & IRR

For Independent Projects Both the NPV and IRR methods will

produce the same accept / reject indication. Accept projects having NPV > 0, IRR >

the hurdle rate. For mutually exclusive projects

Project having a higher NPV should be

chosen instead of a higher IRR.

a) Conflicting ranking between NPV & IRR For mutually exclusive projects

Reason for higher choosing higher NPVi. NPV method makes maximizing the

firm value.ii. NPV method assumes that a project’s

cash flows can be reinvested at the cost of capital.

iii. Whereas, IRR method’s assumption on cash flows reinvestment is the IRR.

G. The Cost of Capital


6 111


When we say a firm has a “cost of capital” of, for

example, 12%, we are saying:-

The firm can only have a positive NPV on a

project if return exceeds 12%.

The firm must earn 12% just to compensate

investors for the use of their capital in a project.

The use of capital in a project must earn 12% or

more, not that it will necessarily cost 12% to

borrow funds for the project.

1. Cost of Debt (Kd)

We use the after tax cost of debt because interest payments are tax deductible for the firm.

Formula for Cost of DebtKd after taxes = Kd (1 – tax rate)

Example : If the cost of debt for ABC Sdn Bhd is

10% and its tax rate is 40% then :-

1. Cost of Preferred Stock (Kps)

Preferred Stock has a higher return bonds, but is less costly than common stock. WHY?

In case of default, preferred stockholders get paid

before common stockholders. However, in case of bankruptcy, the holders of

preferred stock get paid only after short and long

term debt holder claims are satisfied. Preferred stock holders receive a fixed dividend

and usually cannot vote on the firm’s affairs.

1. Cost of Equity (Kcs)

The cost of equity is the rate of return that

investors require to make an equity investment in

a firm.

CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model)

- The CAPM is one of the most commonly used

ways to determine the cost of common stock.


6 116


1. Cost of Equity (Kcs)

Formula for Cost of Equity

kcs= krf + ß (km – krf)

Where krf= The risk free rate

ß = The firm’s beta

km= The return on the market

Example : ABC Sdn Bhd has a ß = 1.6. The risk free on T-bills is currently 4% and the market return has averaged 15%:-

1. Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)

Formula for WACC

WACC = wd (Cost of Debt) + wcs (Cost of Equity) + wps (Cost of PS)Example : ABC Sdn Bhd maintains a mix of 40%

debt, 10% preferred stock, and 50% common stock in its capital structure. The WACC is :-

H. Dividend Policy

1. Alternative Dividend Policy

a) Stock Dividend

Firms sometimes tend to distribute additional

shares in the form of dividends to a firm’s

shareholders rather than giving cash

dividends, which are kept in the firm for

investment.


6 122

H. Dividend Policy


a) Stock Dividend – Example

A firm has 10 million shares outstanding.

Currently the market value of the firm is RM20

million. Therefore, price per share is to be

RM2.00. Assume that the firm is to issue

another 1 million shares as a stock dividend. The

total number of shares outstanding will be 11

million. Hence, given the market value of the

firm, the new price per share will be?

H. Dividend Policy


a) Stock Split

Stock Split involve issuing of additional

shares to firm’s stockholders.

The investors’ percentage ownership in the

firm remain unchanged.

The investor is neither better nor worse off

before the stock split.

H. Dividend Policy


a) Stock Split – Example

YTM Bhd. Is planning a two for one stock split.

You own 5,000 shares of YTM Bhd’s stock that

is currently selling for RM12.00 per share. What

is the value of your YTM Bhd. Stock now, and

what will it be after the split?

a) Stock Repurchase

It is a common practice for developed and

developing markets for a firm to buy back

stock from its shareholders.

Reasons for repurchase :-

- an effective substitute for dividends.

- the price of stocks are undervalued.

- Provide internal investment opportunity.

H. Dividend PolicyH. Dividend Policy


a) Stock Repurchase – ExampleUEB Bhd. Has RM0.8 million in cash for its next

dividend. However, it is considering a repurchase of its own shares instead of paying dividends. The firm has 10 million shares outstanding, currently selling at RM2.00 per share. The P/E is 10 times and the firm’s EPS is RM0.20. What will be the firm’s dividend per share? If stock is repurchased, how many shares will be remain outstanding and what will the new EPS be?

Accrual AccountingWhat is accrual accounting?

Revenue and expenses reported for an accounting period are the revenue earned and expenses matched to or incurred in generating that income – regardless of whether the income has actually been received or cash paid for the expenditure.

For ExampleWhere we have performed some work for a client and invoiced this client, we would include this revenue in our reporting for the period, regardless of whether we have actually received payment or not. On the expense side, we would include expenses such as electricity and gas consumed during the period even if the bill is not due for payment until the following period.
