A MULTIPERIOD FIRM MODEL by Ralf Östermark
Firm plan model – Key elements Input: Decision variables Sales volume Production volume New debt etc. Input: Given parameters Sales price/unit Production cost/unit Amortization ratio etc. Input: Logical restrictions Inventory ≥ 0 Fixed assets ≥ 0 Debt ≥ 0etc. Computations/Output: Multi-period financial statements Balance sheet Statement of income Some elements of Cash flow statement Input: Historical accounts Balance sheet Output: Firm valuation: Sum of discounted future Net Income
Firm valuation - Work schedule • Build a model for multi-period financial statements for the given case • Include the basic accounting logic • Link to the historical accounts • Link to the input elements (Decision variables, parameters) • Begin with the status quo i.e. no transactions • Check that the balance sheet is in balance • Add one decision/transaction at a time, link in all its effects and check the consistency of the balance sheet before continuing • Compute the company value as a sum of discounted net income over the planning period • Select a company to evaluate • Enter the historical accounts • Enter the parameters corresponding to the selected company • Fill in the decision variables according to your judgment as a company valuator • Compute the company value
Key Features: • The necessary financial relations included • Free specification of planning horizon • Simulation and optimization combined • Guaranteed feasibility • A flexible optimization module written as a dynamic link libary (DLL) in strict ANSI C.
Strategic Firm Planning Model • Financial decision variables • Constraints on decision variables • Fundamental financial constraints • Balance sheet relationships • Goal functions • Multi-period optimization problem - solving in LINGO
Decisionvariables • Sales volume (SALEVOL) • Production volume (PRODVOL) • New debt (NEWDEBT) • Repayment (REPAY) • Investments (INV) • New issues (NEWISSUE) • Dividends (DIV) • Depreciation (DEP)
Deviation variables • Min dividend deviation (DIVDIFF) • Max dividend deviation (MAXDIVDIFF) • Equity deviation (EQUITYDIFF) • Debt/Equity deviation (DEDIFF) • Repayment deviation (REPDIFF)
Fixed assets Value items Inventory Sales receivable Cash Other financial items Shareholders´equity Other restricted equity Net income of the year Other unrestricted equity Value items Accumulated depreciation difference Reservations Current liabilities Long-term debt Financialstatement
Statement of income + Turnover - Operating costs - Changes in inventory - Depreciation - Interest expenses + Other financial income + Extraordinary income and expenses + Allocations - Taxes = Net income
Constraints on decision variables 1. Turnover - upper bound = f(production capacity) Factor * FIXASSETS FIXED ASSETS
1. Turnover - upper bound (cont.) Factor * FIXASSETS
Constraints on decision variables 2. Repayment level MINIMIZE
Constraints on decision variables 3. New issues - upper bound MINIMIZE
Constraints on decision variables 4. Dividends MINIMIZE
Constraints on decision variables 5. Depreciation - lower bound
Fundamental Financial Constraints Cash flow: + Turnover - Change in sales revenues - Costs - Change in other financial assets - Interest expenses + Change in current liabilities + Other financial income + New debt + Extraordinary income - Repayment - Dividends - Investments 1. Cash - nonnegative
Fundamental Financial Constraints 2. Fixed assets- nonnegative
Fundamental Financial Constraints 3. Long-term debt- nonnegative
Fundamental Financial Constraints 4. Capital structure MINIMIZE
Financial relationships Costs: c * TurnO Interests: i * DEBT Ot. fin. costs. o * OTH.FIN.ASS. Sales receivable s * TurnO Current liabilities cl * Costs
Alternative Objective functions - Optimize discounted dividend - Optimize discounted net income
Example: optimization in LINGO The optimization module of the firm planning system is written as a dynamic link library (DLL) in strict ANSI C by the author. However, in smaller optimization formulations like the one in analys.xls, the optimization can be carried out by Excel. We illustrate the solution process by a small system written for LINGO: 13] !
