2. Working-Capital Management • Current Assets • cash, marketable securities, inventory, accounts receivable • Long-Term Assets • equipment, buildings, land • Which earn higher rates of return? • Which help avoid risk of illiquidity?

3. Working-Capital Management • CurrentAssets • cash, marketable securities, inventory, accounts receivable • Long-TermAssets • equipment, buildings, land • Risk-Return Trade-off: Current assets earn low returns, but help reduce the risk of illiquidity.

4. Working-Capital Management • Current Liabilities • short-term notes, accrued expenses, accounts payable • Long-Term Debt and Equity • bonds, preferred stock, common stock • Which are more expensive for the firm? • Which help avoid risk of illiquidity?

5. Working-Capital Management • CurrentLiabilities • short-term notes, accrued expenses, accounts payable • Long-Term Debt and Equity • bonds, preferred stock, common stock • Risk-Return Trade-off: Current liabilities are less expensive, but increase the risk of illiquidity.

18. The Hedging Principle • PermanentAssets (those held > 1 year) • should be financed with permanent and spontaneous sources of financing. • TemporaryAssets (those held < 1 year) • should be financed with temporary sources of financing.

19. Balance Sheet Temporary Current Assets

20. Balance Sheet Temporary Temporary Current Assets Short-term financing

21. Balance Sheet Temporary Temporary Current Assets Short-term financing Permanent Fixed Assets

22. Balance Sheet Temporary Temporary Current Assets Short-term financing Permanent Permanent Fixed Assets Financing and Spontaneous Financing

23. The Hedging Principle • Permanent Financing • intermediate-term loans, long-term debt, preferred stock, common stock • Spontaneous Financing • accounts payable that arise spontaneously in day-to-day operations (trade credit, wages payable, accrued interest and taxes) • Short-term financing • unsecured bank loans, commercial paper, loans secured by A/R or inventory

24. Cost of Short-Term Credit Interest = principal x rate x time ex: borrow $10,000 at 8.5% for 9 months Interest = $10,000 x .085 x 3/4 year = $637.50

25. Cost of Short-Term Credit We can use this simple relationship: Interest = principal x rate x time to solve for rate, and get the

26. Cost of Short-Term Credit We can use this simple relationship: Interest = principal x rate x time to solve for rate, and get the Annual Percentage Rate (APR)

27. APR = x Cost of Short-Term Credit We can use this simple relationship: Interest = principal x rate x time to solve for rate, and get the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) interest 1 principal time

28. Cost of Short-Term Credit

29. APR = x Cost of Short-Term Credit interest 1 principal time

30. APR = x Cost of Short-Term Credit interest 1 principal time example: If you pay $637.50 in interest on $10,000 principal for 9 months:

31. APR = x Cost of Short-Term Credit interest 1 principal time example: If you pay $637.50 in interest on $10,000 principal for 9 months: APR = 637.50/10,000 x 1/.75 = .085 = 8.5% APR

32. Cost of Short-Term Credit Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is similar to APR, except that it accounts for compound interest:

33. APY = ( 1 + ) - 1 Cost of Short-Term Credit Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is similar to APR, except that it accounts for compound interest: i m m

34. APY = ( 1 + ) - 1 Cost of Short-Term Credit Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is similar to APR, except that it accounts for compound interest: i m m i = the nominal rate of interest m = the # of compounding periods per year

35. Cost of Short-Term Credit What is the (APY) of a 9% loan with monthly payments? APY = ( 1 + ( .09 / 12 ) 12 -1 ) = .0938 = 9.38%
