BUSINESS ENVIROMENT AND CONCEPTS 2010 BEC, MODULE 42. RISK MANAGEMENT AND CAPITAL BUDGETING COMPOUND INTEREST AND PRESENT VALUE TABLES Future Value of $1: Multiply amount invested x FACTOR to get accumulation Present Value of $1: Multiply amount desired x FACTOR to get the amount you have to invest NOW. This i the reciprocal of FV of $1 FutureValue of an Ordinary Annuity: Multiply payment x FACTOR to get accumulated amount. Payments are at the END of the period, Present Value of an Ordinary Annuity: Multiply payment x FACTOR to get the amount which must be invested ‘NOW to provide those payments. Ordinary Annuity or Annuity in Arrears means the payments are made at the END of the period. ‘Annuity Due or Annuity in Advance means the payments are made atthe BEGINNING of the period. To change from an Ordinary Annuity to an Annuity Due FACTOR: (OA FACTOR\(1 + 1)= AD FACTOR To change from an Annuity Due to an Ordinary Annuity FACTOR: ‘AD FACTOR = OA FACTOR asp CAPITAL BUDGETING TECHNIQUES 1, Payback Period. ‘The umber of years to recoup the investment in cash. Payback Period Investment ‘Annual Cash Inflow Annual Cash Inflow (Before Depn/Amort & Taxes) == Depn/Amort Expense = NBT = Taxes = NIAT + Depn/Amort Expense = Annual Cash Inflow (Net of Taxes) 2. Accounting Rate of Retum, The percentage of return on investment each year. Accounting Rate of Return = Net Income Investment BOTH THE PAYBACK PERIOD AND ACCOUNTING RATE OF RETURN TECHNIQUES IGNORE THE TIME VALUE OF MONEY. 3. Net Present Value, Uses present value tables. If PVoofthe Investment > PV of the Benefits from the Investnient, then NPV is negative and this isa poor investment. If PV of the Investment © <_—-PV of the Benefits from the Investment, then NPV is positive and this isa good investment. It PVoofthe Investment = PV of the Benefits from the Investment, then NPV is zero and ‘management would be indifferent. 4, Intemal Rate of Return, Uses present value tables. The interest rate that would make PV ofthe Investment = PV of the Benefits from the Investment ‘The annuity factor that would make these equal isthe same mumber as the payback period.

Definition Gross National Produet (GNP): The income eamed by Americans, regardless of whether that income was eared domestically or abroad. GNP counts the income that ‘Americans ear abroad, but it omits the income foreigners earn in the United States. Gross Domestic Product (GDP): The market value of all final goods and services produced within a country during a specific time period, usually a year Real GDP: Adjusted for the effects of inflation Potential GDP: The amount of output that can be expected at full employment. The maximum sustainable output level consistent with the economy's resource base. B. Aggregate Demand & Supply MPS + MP\ 1/ MPS = Multiplier Multiplier x change in spending = change in GDP Given: MPS =.25 Spending increases by $1,000,000 MPC must be .75 (MPS + MPC = I and we know that MPS = .25) ‘The multiplier must be 4 (1 / MPS = 1 /.25) Change in GDP must be $4,000,000 (change in spending x multi = $1,000,000 x 4) C. Business Cycles Peak (Real GDP > Potential GDP) Potential GDP Real GDP Trough (Real GDP < Potential GDP) Time 22 D. Economic Measures Producer Price Index (PPI): Prices of finished goods and materials at the wholesale level. Consumer Price Index (CPI): Price changes of a bundle of goods purchased by houscholds. 364 items followed. 21,000 stores visited to derive prices. GDP Deflator: Broader measure than CPI. Designed to measure the change in the average price of the market basket of goods included in GDP. Includes CPI plus large computers, airplanes, welding equipment, office space, etc. Money supply has several definitions. Mj = Currency & demand deposits & travelers checks Mz = M; & Savings deposits & small time deposits (< 100k) & money market funds Mg = M; & other larger time deposits Many economists and the Fed focus on Mz E, Monetary Policy Monetary Policy: The Federal Reserve can control money supply in three ways; Strategy Expansionary Restrictive Monetary Policy | Monetary Polic Reserve By changing the amount | Reduce reserve Tncrease reserve Requirements | banks must hold in reserve, | requirements (and _| requirements (and the Fed can manipulate the | increase the deposit | decrease the availability of excess expansion deposit expansion reserves and the size of the | multiplier) multiplier) deposit expansion multiplier (1 / reserve requirement) Rarely used — too powerful! ‘Open Market | By buying US government Operations | bonds, on the open market, in the open market. the Fed can directly inject (reduce the money new potential reserves into | (expand the money | stock, reduce bank Sell US securities the economy.

By transferring one worker from clothing to food, the USA gains 2 units of food at an opportunity cost of 1 unit of clothing, a ratio of 2:1. Japan, however, gains 3 units of food at an opportunity cost of 9 units of clothing, a ratio of 3:9. Since the USA has a higher ratio, has a comparative advantage with food. 24 Japan has comparative advantage with clothing.

Foreign Exchange Rates Example Foreign Exchange Rates from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (Feb 2004) S 3 Mo. Forward 6 Mo. forward 1.2678 USD/Euro | 1.2647 USD/Euro | 1.2619 USD/Euro. Steps to determine if a currency is increasing/decreasing 1. Identify the currency in the denominator. In this case it is the Euro. The Euro, therefore, is the currency being measured. In the spot market, for instance, one Euro costs $1.2678 dollars. 2. Determine if the exchange rate is increasing/decreasing from period to period. In this case the exchange rate is decreasing. 3. Since the Euro is currency being measured and the exchange rate is decreasing from period to period, then the forward market shows the Euro decreasing in reference to the US dollar. The Euro is selling at a discount to the USD in the forward market. 25 J. Foreign Investment The Effects of the Economic Environment on Strategy A. General Environment B. Five Forces 26 C.
