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?

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

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?

Working-Capital Management Current Liabilities –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.

The Hedging Principle Permanent Assets (those held > 1 year) –should be financed with permanent and spontaneous sources of financing. Temporary Assets (those held < 1 year) –should be financed with temporary sources of financing.

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

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

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

APR = x 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 Cost of Short-Term Credit

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

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

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

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

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

APY = ( 1 + ) - 1 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 Cost of Short-Term Credit

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