Accounting

Critical Success Factors

- Achieving financial performance


- Meeting customer needs
- Providing quality goods and services
- Encouraging innovation and creativity
- Gaining employee commitment

Accounting

- The process of gathering, recording, classifying, summarizing, reporting, and analyzing in monetary
terms, information about an organization to aid in decision-making
- 2 main branches of accounting
○ Managerial accounting
○ Financial accounting

Managerial Financial
People inside Who uses People outside
C.M.A Who prepares C.A.
Specific info What General info
Segments Where Whole
Current & future When Past
Speed Why Precision
Relevant, flexible, useful How Required
Whatever form suits How G.A.A.P

G.A.A.P - C.I.C.A
Generally accepted accounting principles

Lecture Notes Page 1


- Generally accepted accounting principles
- Canadians institute of Chartered Accountants
- Relevancy information - predictive and feedback of performance (allows outside person to get
information) value
- Reliability - investors want to rely on the information
○ Verifiability
○ Representational faithfulness ( represent true facts )
○ Neutrality - don't create impression that it is incorrect
○ Comparability - can compare companies
○ Consistency - stay consistent with approach so you can trust and rely on the information

- Audit
○ All public companies by law
○ Check GAAP applied on consistent basis - not checking every standard
○ Auditor's statement
 Scope and opinion sections, qualifications
○ Do NOT say statements are accurate
 Could be minor mistakes
 There are estimates
 Fairly represent how the company is doing
 No material errors
○ Qualification errors are problems
○ Section 404 of the Sarbanes-oxley Act/CSA
 CEO's and CFO's must certify the design and effectiveness of internal accounting controls

- Concepts
○ Conservatism (use lowest number)
 Inventory (stock of goods)
□ Cost figures
□ Market figure - what I can sell it for
○ Objectivity (verify)
 Bill of sale
 Historic cost
□ Cost from the past, when we bought it-- how much did it cost
 Can't use opinion of value
○ Matching
 Fundamental principle underlying the income statement
□ Match cost to revenue -- spread cost
□ Amortization
 Matching revenue to expenses over year

Lecture Notes Page 2


Matching revenue to expenses over year

The Statements

- Balance sheet
○ Statement of financial position
○ Snapshot of a point in time
○ "stock or status of firm's resources and claims against those resources at certain pt in time"
○ XYZ Company LTD Balance Sheet as of December 31, X
- Income Statement
○ Profit and loss statement, statement of earnings
○ Movies over a period of time
○ "flow of revenues and the costs associated with generating those revenues for a period of time"
○ XYZ Company LTD Income statement for the year ended DEC 31, X

Balance Sheet

- The financial position at a given point in time


 What the firm owns (assets) (fin'l resources)
 And what the firm owes EQUITIES = Liabilities + Owners' Equity (claims against those
resources)
- Accounting Equation
 Premise upon which the balance sheet is built
Assets = Equities
Assets = Liabilities + OE

Ex buy car for 15000 with 5000 down


Sell the car for 12000 shortly after

Key Points from Last Class

- Managerial vs. Financial accounting


- GAAP (IFRA - International financial reporting standards)
- Auditor's Statement
- Balance sheet vs. income statement
○ Cash vs. profit
○ Accounting equation

Sustainability

- development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their needs
- Dow Jones Sustainability Index
- Global reporting initiative - guidelines
○ 1000 companies, 80% of global fortune 150
○ More holistic image of company
- Virtue Rewarded
○ 3 factors that determine ROI
○ Examples - companies and industries that could/do most benefit and why?
○ Social responsibility and profitability
 Corporate and societal interest intersect

Accounting

A = L + OE / DOUBLE ENTRY ACCOUNTING

- Sell $1mm inventory for $1mm cash


○ Asset (A) cash increased $1mm
○ Asset (A) inventory decreased $1mm
- Buy $1mm inventory on credit
○ Asset (A) inventory increased $1mm
○ Liabilities (L) increased $1mm
- Sell $1mm inventory for $1.5mm cash
○ Asset (A) inventory decreased $1mm
○ Asset (A) cash increased $1.5mm
○ Owners' equity (OE) increased $.5mm

Assets

- Current Assets
○ Cash or assets that will be converted to cash, sold or consumed within 1 year - liquid
○ Placed in order of declining liquidity
 Cash
 Marketable securities - intent is to sell them
 Accounting Receivable
□ Less allowance for doubtful accounts - (contra account)
 Notes receivable
 Inventory - lower of cost or market
Supplies

Lecture Notes Page 37


Inventory - lower of cost or market
 Supplies
 Prepaid Expenses - benefit paid for, not yet received

Paid 1st year's rent of $18,000 = $18,000.00 $1500 per month on Sept. 1/08
Prepaid rent on Dec 31/08
Received the benefit 4 months rent
8 months remaining for which not yet received benefit x $1500
= $12000 prepaid rent

- Capital (fixed) Assets


○ Assets that have useful life expectancy > 1 Year
○ Placed in order of declining life expectancy
 Land
 Buildings
 Machinery & equipment
 Furniture & fixtures
 Trucks and automobiles
 Tools
○ At historic cost (objectivity)
○ Cost amortized over life of asset, except for land (matching)
○ Amortization - simple straight-line

= historic cost - salvage value


Estimated useful life

Salvage value = what you expect to sell it for

= the portion of the cost of the asset per year that is being matched to revenue AND that
the asset is being reduced by to show its current 'book' value

The amount each year accumulates until the asset's 'book' value = salvage value

Purchased machinery for 160000 Jan 1/04


Estimated useful life 12 years
Assume can sell for $40000 - salvage value
Amortization per year?, accumulated amort'n Dec 31/08

($160000-40000) / 12 years = $10000 per year


X 5 years = $50000 accumulated

On Balance Sheet …

Machinery & Equipment $160 000


Less: accum. amortization $50000
$110,000

- Other Assets
○ Investments
 Long-term holdings of securities - intent to hold (strategic purpose)
○ Intangibles
 Legal right vs. physical existence
 Patents, trademarks, copyrights etc.
 Goodwill
□ Must be bought
□ When one company buys another for more than the fair market value of its net
tangible assets
□ Paying for intangibles not reported on statements, ie. Goodwill that has built up over
time

Lecture Notes Page 38


Equities

= Liabilities + Owners' Equity

- Liabilities
○ You must have incurred expense and not yet paid for it
 Do I have a liability?
 What amount have you NOT paid?
 When is it due?
□ Current or long-term

Lecture Notes Page 39


Lecture 2
Wednesday, January 13, 2010
2:27 PM

Key Points from Last Class


Current Assets
- Order and valuation inventory, prepaid expenses
Capital Assets
- Order and valuation - historic cost, amortization
Other Assets
- Goodwill

= Liabilities + Owners Equity

Current Liabilities
- No specific order, due within one year

Wages payable
- Pay $10,000 is bi weekly wages for work done during the pay period, year end falls at end of one
week into pay period

Current liability Dec 31/08


How do you incur a liability for wages
Therefore $5000 wages payable

When is it due? CURRENT LIABILITY

Loan Payable
- $160000 loan on machinery payable over 10 years on Jan 1st of each year = $16000 year
- Current liability Dec 31/08
- How much is still owing / not been paid?
- When is it due?
- Machinery was purchased Jan 1/04

4 x 16000 = 64000 $

Still owing 160000-64000 = 96000 $

- How much is due within a year?

= $16000 Loan Payable


- Current liability

Example: Interest Payable


- Interest on loan is 15% of remaining balance owing payable at same time as principal
- Current liability Dec 31/08
- How do you incur a liability for interest?
 Hold money for a period of time
- How much is owing?
- When is it due?
- Last payment was Jan 1/08 - paid $64000 by that point
- For the year of '08 held $96000 of bank's money
- Therefore interest interest at 15% = 14 400
- = $14400 interest payable

Lecture Notes Page 40


Long Term Liabilities

- Due > 1 year


- Long term wages payable?

Example : long term portion of loan payable on Dec. 31/08


Paid 64000 by Dec 31/08, $16,000 current
Therefore owe $160 000 - 64000 - 16000 = $80000 loan payable

- Long term interest Payable?

Owners Equity
- Form depends on form of ownership
- All have same components
Beginning O/E
+investments
+profits
-Withdrawals
Ending O/E

Proprietors' Equity

Paul Jones, Capital = total of all components

Partners Equity

Peter Brown, Capital


Susan Smith, Capital = total of components, split profits
Total Partners Equity

Shareholders' Equity

Common stock
Preferred stock (represent investments)
Retained Earnings = beginning R/E
+ profits
-withdraws/dividends
Ending R/E

Income Statement
Keys:
- Matching expenses with the revenue they help to generate
□ Expense of given period was incurred to earn revenue of same period
- Format

- Matching

Rent expense

1st year's rent pd. Sept. 1/08


= $18 000 or $1500/month
Paid out 18000
But only incurred rent for Sept - Dec '08 to generate revenues of the same year

Lecture Notes Page 41


But only incurred rent for Sept - Dec '08 to generate revenues of the same year
4 months x $1500 = $6000 Rent Expense

Example: Amortization Expense


- $10, 000 per year
- Accumulated amortization $50,000 on B/S
- But not paid out, not cash expense

= $10,000 Amortization Expense

Wage Expense
10,000 bi weekly = 260 000/year
But 5000 incurred but not paid
= 260 000 wage expense

Interest Expense
96000 for year @ 15% interest
But not paid
= 14 400 interest expense

Loan expense
-principal payment of $16,000/year
NO SUCH EXPENSE - cost of asset already written off as amortization expense
Don't want to double count cost of asset
Matching to revenue more critical, cash flow not an issue for income statement

Income statement

Cash vs Profit
- Sales revenue -> account receivable
- Expenses -> accounts payable
- Amortization
- Owners' equity - cash to use for business?

If profit is not cash, then why consider cash paid when determining expenses?

Format - Merchandising company

Sales
-Cost of goods Sold
Gross Profit
-operating expenses
Income from operations
+/- other income/expenses
Net income before taxes
-taxes
Net income

Gross Sales
- Returns & allowances
- Discounts
- Net sales

Operating Expenses
- Selling & distribution
- General & admin

Cost of Goods Sold

Lecture Notes Page 42


Cost of Goods Sold
- Beginning inventory
- +Purchases *
- Cost of goods avail for sale
- -Ending inventory
- Cost of goods sold

Gross Purchases
- Returned & allowances
- Discounts
- Net purchases
- + freight in
- Net cost of purchases

Key Points from Last Class

- Combined problems
○ Process
 Recognizing income statement vs. Balance sheet items
 Recognizing categories and placement on statement
 Process for handling both statements at one time
 Steps to follow for each item on statements
 Completing income statement before balance sheet
 Putting it together
□ No marks deducted from indents, columns, or $ but affects ability to get numbers right

Cost-Volume Profit Analysis


- Tool used for decision making
- Shows effect of changes in Costs or Volumes on Profits - CVP Analysis
- Shows impact of operating leverage
○ Degree to which locked into fixed operating costs
 Must sell more to cover fixed costs (RISK)
 But once covered - leveraged effect on profit (RETURN)
- Also used for 'Breakeven' Analysis
○ Where revenue = expenses or rev-exp = 0
- Most important concept is contribution

Things to Know:

- Fixed costs
○ Constant regardless of level of production and sales
○ Assuming operating in 'relevant range'
 Normal range of operating activity
- Variable Costs
○ Total depends on level of production and sales
- Margin of Safety
○ = current sales - breakeven sales

Approaches:

- Breakeven chart
- Algebraic approach
- Contribution
○ Contribution margin
○ Contribution rate

Example:

Lecture Notes Page 61


Example:

Total revenue

PROFIT
Total Cost

Fixed Cost

LOSS
Variable Cost

3750

Lecture Notes Page 62


10x = 30000 + 2x

X = 3750 units

Lecture Notes Page 63


10000 + 6x - 30000 + 2x

X = 5000 units

Proof : (volume above breakeven, below decision point)


At 4000 units = revenue 10 x 4000 = 40000 regardless
Old machinery = 40000 - 10000 - 24000 = 6000 income
New machinery = 40000 - 30000 - 8000 = 2000 income

Contribution Margin Approach

- What is left over after covering variable costs that contributes toward covering fixed costs?

- Unit contribution margin


= Price - VC
- How many units do we have to sell at a unit contribution of (Price - VC) to cover FC?

= FC/(Price - VC)

Easier way to determine dec'n point

- Point where incremental (additional) fixed costs are covered by incremental contribution

= (30000-10000) / ((10-2)-(10-6))
= 5000 units

Contribution rate approach

- Can't do it on a per unit bases, so use ratio


- What % of every sales dollar is left over after covering variable costs that contributes toward covering fixed costs?

- Contribution rate

= 1 - VC/Sales

= FC / (1-VC/SALES)

Let x be breakeven sales

X = 30000 / (1-2000/10000)
X = 30000 / 1-20%
X = 30000 / .8

X = $37500

Lecture Notes Page 64


X = $37500

At $10 per unit = 3750 units

- Contribution margin = 250-150 = 100 100/unit

Total contribution = 100/unit x 400 units = 40000$

- Contribution rate = 1- $150/$250 = 40%

- If increasing advertising by $10000 meant that sales would increase by $30000, would you do it?

Process:
- What is the additional/incremental contribution?
- Compare to the additional/incremental fixed cost
- Better off?
○ Quantitatively
○ Qualitatively

- $30000 x 40% cont'n rate = $12000 addt'l cont'


- Vs. $10000 increase in FC
- YES

Lecture Notes Page 65


- $250 - $125 = $125.00 contribution margin
- X350 units = $43750 total contribution
- Vs. $40,000 - additional contribution of $3750
- YES
- Qualitative issues

$230 - $150 = $80.00 contribution margin


X 600 units = 48000 total contribution

Vs 40000 = 8000 additional

Vs. 15000 increase in FC

Key Points from Last Class

- C-V-P Analysis
○ Importance
○ Operating leverage
○ Fixed costs /variable costs
○ Margin of safety
○ Breakeven - chart and algebraic
- Concept of contribution
○ Contribution margin - with units -P-VC
○ Contribution rate with totals - 1-vc/sales
- Applications
○ When to calculate breakeven and what to do with it (could you make money)
 Margin of safety, and interpreting that margin
○ Making a decision between two alternatives
 Decision point - when become more profitable
 When incremental contribution covers incremental fix
○ Making a decision that would affect costs and/or volumes
 Quantitative - incremental contribution vs. incremental fixed
 Qualitative issues

Marketing

What is marketing?

- An "integrated system of activities designed to plan, price, promote and distribute, want-satisfying
goods and services to present and potential customers"
- 2 keys to successful marketing:
1) Related to providing a want-satisfying good or service
- Used to be sell what you produce
- Now it’s produce what you can sell
- Production - sales - customer orientation

The Marketing Concept


- Customer orientation
- Service orientation
- Integrated focus on customer satisfaction
- Profit orientation
- Customer relationship management

- But the product must not only provide a particular benefit/satisfy a particular want or need, but it must
be needed or wanted…
- It must provide a unique benefit that the competition does not #1 KEY

Target Market
- The group of customers to whom you wish to direct your product toward
- A group of customers whose wants and needs have not been met by the competition

Steps to Defining Target Market:


- Market segmentation
- Perceptual mapping
Preference analysis

Lecture Notes Page 89


- Preference analysis

Market Segmentation
- Need to know what groups of customers exist from which to choose a target market
- Involves splitting the market into meaningful segments to determine what groups exist
- Everyone is different but they tend to similar with respect to what they want our of a product…
- Homogenous needs (similar needs)
- Bases for segmentation:
- State-of-being (who they are)
 Geographic - region, population size, density, climate
 Demographic - age, gender, lifecycle, income, occupation, education, religion, social class
 Customer type
- State-of-Mind
 Psychographics - personality, and lifestyle, attitudes, interests, and opinions
- Product Usage - Behaviouralistic
 Volume - usage rate, user status, readiness to buy
 Sensitivity to market factors, occasions
 Loyalty
- Benefits sought *z

Key points for the Financial Advantage

- Weakest advantage in the competition


- Cash is king - profit vs cash - cash budget
○ Quarterly sufficient - most do monthly
○ Pre-operating and operating cash flows - sources must fund negative balance - can't carry
○ Cash required to fund startup and until cash positive - what re you using it for?
- 90% forecast is predicting sales - realistic, supportable
- Pitfalls of forecasting - capacity - operations and marketing - specific plans, contingency
- Attendance, respect for presenters

Key points from last class

- CVP
○ Context - fixed costs covered?
- Marketing
○ Marketing concept
○ #1 key - provide unique benefit
- Target market
○ Market segmentation

Steps:
1. Segment on basis of benefits
2. Describe using other bases
3. Name them last

Demographics vs. psychographics


- Psychographics more difficult to measure

Lecture Notes Page 106


Theory in Use

"Luxury Goods - Bling sting"


- How is a company's choice of target market affected by the pest model discussed last semester

Perceptual Mapping & Preference Analysis

- Determine which of the segments will be the target market


- By finding the biggest gap between how the customer perceives the competition meets their needs perceptual map and what they really
want preference analysis

Steps:

1. Draw axes that represent the relevant dimensions by which people differentiate between product offerings
2. Locate the positions of competing products on the axes/dimensions according to customer perceptions

Perceptual mapping
- Locate each segment's ideal product
Preference analysis
- What is the target market?

Lecture Notes Page 107


Lecture Notes Page 108
Positioning

- Finding a distinct position for your product in the customer's mind


- One that communicates that the product provides a unique benefit
- The objective is to position the product as close to the target's ideal as possible
- 2 approaches
- Consumer approach
- Competitive approach

Key Points from Last Class

- Marketing
○ Target market
 Market segmentation - demographics vs. psycho graphics
 Perceptual mapping and preference analysis
 Positioning

- Group Hand in Case


○ Alternatives
○ Numbers
○ Write-up

Theory in Use…

- "attack of the monster cinemas"


- How is the mega-plex theatre concept positioned in the entertainment market?
- How do they make money?
○ Where is the highest contribution?

#1 key

- To be successful is to provide a unique benefit to the customer


○ Something that they want - benefit
○ That they don't feel they are getting from the competition - unique
- Do consumers want sustainable/green products?

#2 Key

- Be successful is to convince them that the product provides that unique benefit - through your product,
pricing, promotion, and distribution/place decisions

○ Integrated/consistent system of activities


 Be consistent, don't confuse

- Core Benefit Proposition/CBP


 Clear concise statement of product's unique benefit to ensure all decisions deliver same
message

Sustainable Marketing
- Product price place promotion for people, plant, profit

Product

- The creation of a good or service that provides greater value to customers than previously existed.

6 Types of product development


- New-to-world product
- New product line
- New product added to existing line
- Improved product
- Repositioned product
- Lower-priced version of existing product

- "cradle-to-cradle" vs "cradle-to-grave"
□ Principled design based on the laws of nature - transform the making and
consumption of products into a sustainable regenerative force
□ Transform harmful activitiy vs reduce negative impact

Key Points for the Marketing Advantage

- Sales projections based on research and logic = educated guess you can defend
- Top down forecasting…
○ Market potential not just #households
○ #with lawns demographics likely to mow own lawn, psychographics care about benefits
- Bottom up forecasting
○ What you can do - capacity
- Compare to breakeven - what have to do
- Sensitivity analysis and contingency plan
○ Assumptions to base sensitivity on
○ Need milestones - if not on track, contingency plan
- Keys - focus (relevant info), cash, consistency (integration), milestones, specifics(commit), structure
(organized thoughts, visuals), KISS (easy for judges to understand)

Third place concept.

What is a Brand?

- A collection of perceptions in the mind of the consumer


- Built not only through effective communications or appealing logos - it is built through the total
experience that it offers

Brand Name
- Communicate CBP
- Move customer through stages of recognition
 Non-recognition
 Brand recognition
 Brand recall
 Brand preference
 Brand loyalty

Theory in use

"Massaging the Message"


- What does the article say about brand loyalty?
- What is the myth, what is the reality?

"Wal-Mart - Counter Intuitive"


- What is Wal-Mart's Brand
- What market segments is it focusing its new branding on?
- Does this shift make sense? Why or why not?

"don't go changing"
- What lessons about branding strategy can the article teach us.

Price

Approaches:
- Cost based, target profit, mark-up
□ Cost $5, retail price $7, retail markup = 29% ($2/$7)
□ CVP analysis!
- Competitive-based (achieve market share)
- Value-based - price-led
□ Customer
- Most important
□ Support CBP
□ Test pricing

Specific Strategies
- Introductory pricing - "skimming" or "penetration"
□ Life span
□ Speed of competitive entry
□ Sunk costs
- Market protection
- Market domination
□ Predatory pricing
 Illegal
- Market stabilization - follow the leader
- Product line promotion
□ Buying a set
Price lining

Lecture Notes Page 114


- Price lining
□ Pricing things at few price points
- Customer attraction (building traffic)
□ Loss leader
□ Bait & switch
 Must have bait or else illegal
- Image enhancement - 'psychological pricing'
□ Odd/even pricing
□ Multiple pricing
 Buy in bulk
□ Quality / premium pricing
 Above competition to project quality/image

1. Increase credibility of source


a. Familiarity
b. Spokesperson
c. Pros & cons
2. Develop clear message
a. Unique selling proposition
b. Tone
3. Use most effective medium
a. Must reach consumer with message intended

Lecture Notes Page 116


a. Must reach consumer with message intended
"the medium is the message"
b. At the most effective CPM (cost per thousand)

- CPM
 A $5000/1,000,000 = $5 CPM
 B $5000 / 100,000 = $50 CPM

BUT
- A $5000/10000 target = $500 effective CPM

Other factors in media selection

- Geographic selectivity
○ Local tv
○ Direct mail
○ Radio

- Mislead consumers regarding the environmental practices of a company or the environmental benefits
of a product or service

Environmental qualifiers such as organic or etc

Like green insectide


Claims based on a single attribute while ignoring others

Sales Promotion

Lecture Notes Page 117


- Short term incentives to induce purchase
○ Free samples, trial period
○ Cents off coupons, cash rebates
○ Extra volume for same price, bonuses
○ Giveaways, contests
○ Premiums
○ Point of purchase displays (setting up a display in store to promote product)
- Support personal selling and advertising
- Support CBP

Public relations & Publicity

- Greater impact due to perceived objectivity


- Very hard to get, must be "newsworthy"

Place

- Purchase is a function of desire and availability


○ Logistical decisions costly, time consuming, and not easily changed
○ Choice of location must fit with CBP
○ Critical decision
 Use of marketing intermediaries / channel of distribution

Manufacturer Demand-Backward Pricing


Agent
Wholesaler
Retailer
Customer
- Demand-backward pricing
$4.99 - 1.50 - 1 = $2.49 to wholesaler
$2.49 + 1 + 1.50 = $4.99 to consumer

(MSRP)

= lower contribution?

approach
- By clarifying goals and providing yardstick for rating performance - source of motivation
- Establishing goals or standards against which actual performance can be measured - facilitates
control

Negative aspects of Budgeting - Abuses

- Means to reward waste and penalize thrift


- Individuals subjected to guidelines not consulted
- Evaluate device - perceived as threat
- Convenient scapegoat or lost opportunities

a) Surplus available to repay borrowing
b) If do… ending balance >/= minimum req'd
c) If don't… ending balance = total excess
3. Excess < minimum
a) Borrow to = minimum req'd
b) End balance = minimum req'd

EBIT Analysis

EBIT Analysis

- To determine the best mix of debt and equity in the form's capital structure
- Objective is to maximize shareholder wealth
- Measured by EPS…
- Earnings per share ( of common stockholders )

= earnings available to common stockholders


= net income - preferred dividends
# shares of common stock

Lecture Notes Page 123


Earnings Before Interest and Taxes - EBIT
- Interest
Earnings Before Taxes - EBT
- Taxes
Net Income = EAT
- Preferred Dividends
Earnings Available to Common Stockholder
/ # shares of Common Stock

Earnings Per Share - EPS

– ex: ABC Company requires an additional $4 million


in external long-term financing
– earnings before interest and taxes are assumed to be
$6 million next year, and ABC’s tax rate is 50%
– the existing capital structure consists of:
• $5,000,000 in 10% bonds
• $3,000,000 in 6% preferred stock
• 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $10/share
• $500,000 in Retained Earnings
– ABC has 2 alternatives with which to raise the
money:
• $3,000,000 in 11% bonds, and $1,000,000 in 7% preferred stock
• $2,000,000 in 8% preferred stock, and $2,000,000 in common stock at
$10/share

– Need to know the effect that each element of the


capital structure has on EPS…

• 3000000 preferred stock x 6% = 180 000 dividend
• 1 000 000 shares of common stock
– Alternative #1…
• 3 000 000 bonds x 11% = 330 000 interest
• 1 000 000 preferred stock x 7% = 70 000 dividend
– Alternative #2…

- Choose the option which results in the highest EPS while realizing that there is always a tradeoff
between risk and return
- RISK - comes from leverage... what happens when you have more debt than equity in your capital
structure
- Should be able to determine the degree of leverage

(5 000 000 + 3 000 000) debt


(3 000 000 + 1 000 000) pref + 10 000 000 common + 500 000 retained earnings

= 8 000 000 / 14 500 000 = 0.55:1 AVERAGE

- Calculate interest coverage ratio…

6 000 000 / 830 000 = 7.2x

Decision

- Choose alternative #1 because


- It has least dilutive impact on EPS
- While having acceptable risk as measured by the interest coverage ratio
- Therefore :
- Maximizing shareholder wealth
- While balancing risk and return

Key Points from Last Class

- EBIT Analysis
○ Keys - finding EBIT, adding in present financing
○ Decision criteria and justification
 Maximize shareholder wealth - "least dilutive impact"
 Balance risk and return
□ Measure risk - interest coverage ratio - looking for "acceptable" risk => 3x

Ratio Analysis

- Ratio analysis is a tool used for:


○ Analyzing accounting information to help make better decisions - about other firms, or about our
firm by outsiders
○ Analysis the results of those decisions
- A ratio is a mathematical comparison using information from the financial statements
- It detects crude trends/overall problems that require further investigation

Ratio Analysis - 3 Steps

1. To assess overall financial well-being, look at all 5 types of ratios:


- Liquidity
 Ability to meet short term debts and obligations
- Stability
 Ability to meet long term debts and obligations
- Profitability
- Growth
 Rate of change
- Marketability
 Value of stock is holding, shareholders are happy?
2. Compare the ratio to something else
- Same ratio of other firms in industry
- Industry average
- 'rule of thumb'
 General rules, not accurate, starting point
- Same ratio for series of past years in same company
- Another ratio

3. Pull apart the numerator and denominator into component parts to see where problem lies

Liquidity

- Measure a company's ability to meet its current/short-term obligations - short-term viability


- Assess the adequacy of a firm's working capital management
- Assess whether net working capital provides a sufficient cushion to meet current debts as they come
due.

Net working Capital

= current assets -current liabilities

- Objective?
- What is sufficient? - depends on:
- Speed of working capital cycle
- Knowledge of / ability to predict WCC

Lecture Notes Page 129


Faster the cycle, less net working capital.

Current Ratio

= Current assets / current liabilities


- 'Rule of thumb' > 2:1 for risk, < 4:1 (risk too low, too low return)
- Suggests that NWC should be at least as large as current liabilities
- CA(2) - CL(1) = NWC(1) = CL

Acid Test /Quick Ratio

= current assets - (inventories + supplies + prepaids)


Current liabilities

- 'rule of thumb' > 1:1

Receivable Ratios

1. Average collection period

= avg. (closing) accounts receivable x 365 days


Annual (credit) sales
- Compare to credit terms ex : 2/10, net 30 vs. 59 days
○ 2% discount in 10 days, or full in 30 days
- Check industry terms, discount, penalty, credit granting procedures
- Why so important to take advantage of discount?
○ Adds up in a year

2. Accounts Receivable Turnover

How many times do we collect our accounts receivable

= annual (credit) sales / avg. closing A/R


- Tradeoff?
○ If it's slow
 Risky
○ If it's too fast
 Not getting interest
 Limit market

3. Inventory Turnover

= cost of goods sold / average inventory

OR sales /average inventory

Tradeoff? - need to achieve a balance - not too slow, not too fast.

Lecture Notes Page 130


- Tradeoff? - need to achieve a balance - not too slow, not too fast.
○ Risk
 No inventory left and others go to another company

Theory in Use…

"Raiding a company's Hidden Cash"


- What are the short and long term benefits of operating without a net working capital balance?
- What is the key to operating without net working capital

Stability

- Measure company's ability to meet its long-term obligations by measuring the relationship between
components of a firm's capital structure
○ Long term viability
- Shows results of financing decisions

Debt to Equity or Debt to Net Worth

= total debt / shareholders' equity (net worth)

= current liabilities + long term liabilities

Common stock + pref. stock + retained earnings

- 'rule of thumb' for industrial firm <1:1


- Investors/shareholders?
○ Shareholders are fine with debt
 Firm using other money to make money
 As long as does not risk viability
 Earn a better return using equity
 Does not dilute their interest

Leverage

= long-term debt / sh. Equity (net worth)

- Measures the degree to which a company has locked itself into fixed financial costs
- Implies that a given change in sales will result in a greater change in profit

- 'rule of thumb' < .5:1 low


.5 : 1 - 1: 1 average
>1 : 1 high

- Advantage
○ Long term debt is a cheapest source of capital because interest is tax deductible, dividends are
not, therefore higher return
- Disadvantage
○ Higher long term debt means higher interest payments which are a legal obligation whereas
dividends are not, therefore a greater risk of insolvency

• ex: presently each firm has $1,000,000 in common


stock outstanding, and each needs to finance an
additional $1,000,000…

EAT 450 000 500 000

Interest cost 100 000 - tax savings 50 000

= real interest 50000 / 1000000 debt


= 5%, not 10% -- lowest cost of capital

If return on capital is 15%


- A 15% return - 5% cost = 10% overall
- B 15% return - 10% cost = 5% overall

But what about B's greater net profit?


Additional equity : SHARED

Summary

- Low leverage :

Lowest risk but higher cost of capital


= lower return

- High leverage

Higher risk but lower cost of capital


= higher return

Keys Points for The Plan/Presentation/Pitch

- PLAN
○ Cater to reader - embedded images vs appendix
○ Get someone to read it - make sure they understand
○ Contingency shows ability to be flexible
- PRESENTATION
○ They need to believe in idea, potential, and you
 Over-communicate what and why
 Communicate your vision
 Be passionate
○ Be confident
○ Present what is important - exec summary as guide, high level financials
○ Rehearse
○ Script, memorize, practice, know
○ Work on flow - transitions between speakers
○ Beginning - wow factor - remember you in a 'professional' way
○ Attire suitable to idea
○ Know your plan - Q&A
 Have slides ready with details not included in presentation
 Don't BS
- PITCH
○ Pain statement 0 problem trying to solve
○ Gain/value proposition - how does your idea solve it
○ Why yours is best way
○ How easy/fast will it be to get to market
○ How much do you need and what will they get
○ Tell them your idea again - SELL it
○ Succinct, easy to understand, appeal to their greed *WIFM), irrefutable - don't leave them with
more questions than answers

Key Points from Last Class

- Ratio Analysis - steps, comparisons


- Liquidity concepts
 Sufficient level of net working capital
 Working capital cycle and effect on NWC
 Risk vs. Return
 Ratios for measuring management of WCC and interpretation
- Stability concepts
 Advantages/disadvantages of debt and equity
 Ratios for measuring and interpretation

Interest Coverage Ratio

- = EBIT / Annual Interest


- Helps assess the risk inherent in being highly levered
- 'rule of thumb' for industrial firm > 3x, but should look at long-run trend in earnings, and variability in
earnings

Lecture Notes Page 133


Profitability

- Gross Profit Margin (GPM)

= gross profit / sales (net)

- Net Profit Margin (NPM)

= net profit / sales

- Check components of income statement

- ROI

= net income / shareholder's equity (net worth)


- Most important profitability ratio for investor

– ex:
A B
Sales 10 000 000 10 000 000

Net Income 500 000 1 000 000


NPM 5% 10%

Sh. Equity 1 000 000 5 000 000


ROI 50% 20%

Growth

- Measures the rate of growth of any balance sheet or income statement account

= present yr's "----" - past yr's "----"


Past yr's "----"

Marketability

- Earnings per Share (EPS)

= Earnings available for common stockholders


# shares of common stock

= net income - preferred stock dividends


# shares of common stock

- Calculate fully diluted if P/S convertible

Lecture Notes Page 134


Price /earnings Ratio

= market price / share


EPS

- Helps gauge stock value and growth prospects


- If high P/E ratio - why would people bit up price relative to earnings available?
- Low price/earnings not growing, high payout

Yield

= dividends/share
Price/share ( your investment )

Payout

= dividends /share
EPS

- Relationship to P/E ratio?

necessary but not sufficient
- Gains may eventually be countered by increases in consumption
- Change business model from selling products to providing services
- Turn demand for reduced material use into a strategic opportunity
- Services more difficult to imitate - competitive advantages

- Xerox
- Products becoming commoditized
- 1994 -" the document company " - help companies improve efficiencies in
document intensive business processes

likely to change suppliers , other product opportunities, attract new customers

Sustainability of the Supply Chain

- Management of raw materials and services from suppliers to manufacturer/service


provider to customer and back with improvement of the social and environmental
impacts explicitly considered
- Outsourcing business operations doesn't mean outsourcing responsibilities or risks in

- Selecting the best available
- Training and developing
- Encouraging high performance
 Performance = ability x motivation
- Performance evaluation
- Compensation
- Union/management relations

Sustainability and HR

- 3 critical challenges facing HR professionals


 Recruiting and retaining top talent
□ Accenture - 60% rated ethical mgmt as important factor in job search
□ Globescan - 68% disagreed that salary is more important than a company's social and
environmental reputation when deciding where to work, and 53% said very likely
would not apply for job at company that was socially irresponsible

□ KPMG – among workers who feel their bosses lack integrity only 20% would
recommend workplace vs 80% who believed company had strong ethics would

- Enhancing critical competencies - training


 To respond to emerging demands of stakeholders
 Sustainability fosters innovative approaches and informs the way people think and act
- Creating incentives for exceptional performance
 GlobeScan – 80% of people felt greater motivation and loyalty the more socially responsible
their employers became
 MORI – 70% of staff who were committed to the values of the company said their
productivity had increased
 Incentives must be aligned with goals of sustainable development

Lecture Notes Page 142


“Does Sustainability Change the
Talent Equation?” MIT Sloan Management Review Fall „09

• Annual Sustainability Initiative Survey – collaboration


between MIT Sloan Management Review and the Boston
Consulting Group (BCG)
– When a company takes up sustainability, how does people
management change?

• Talent recruitment and retention rises


• Employee engagement and
productivity improves
• Employee expectations rise

Planning

- 1st need to do a job analysis


 Job description
□ Describes the job
 Job specification
□ Specifies characteristics of worker to do job well

- Forecasting/Planning - Stapes :
 Project future demand
□ Numbers and skills
□ Internal and external environment
 Goals
- Project future supply
 Inventory of numbers and skills
□ Currently, then how will this change?
 Adjust for future - retirement, turnover, promotions and training
- Determine net needs / "gap"
 Shortages and surpluses in numbers of skills
- Develop plan…
- Evaluate and make changes
- Contingency
 Absenteeism - develop plan - soft vs hard
 Soft approach
□ Caring and concerned about reason
 Hard approach
□ Deals with the surface
□ No fault approach

- Human Resource Plan

- Shortage options
□ Use resources better
 Increase efficiency Choice :
 Overtime - Size
 Training and transfers - Lead time
□ Decrease requirements - duration
 Change plans
 Subcontract - "out sourcing"
 Capital vs. people
□ hire

Surplus

Lecture Notes Page 143


Surplus

Layoff - Firing

- Layoff is not permanent, firing is layoff permanently


- Downsize
- Labour not always cutting workforce
- Rightsize
- Cutting to what you want to achieve
- Job sharing
- Allow people share jobs

Recruitment

Sources :

- From within - cheap, fast, good for morale


- Doesn't work for entry level positions
- Doesn't work for top top positions
Choice :
- Works if you're stable
- Budget
- Word of mouth
- Lead time
- Pre-conditioning, pre-selection
- Type of job
□ Recommend someone good (pre-selection)
□ Tell what's bad about the job (pre-conditioning) know reality of job
- Employment agencies
- Public vs. private - "headhunters"
- College/university recruitment
- Trade union / professional association
- Advertisements
- Professional contacts
- Unsolicited applications

Approaches

- Don't have to continually go through the process


- Realistic approach

Selection

- Must 1st consider 3 factors in designing selection procedures

Human Rights Legislation

- Employment equity

Key Points from Last Class

- Responsibilities of HR department
○ How sustainability affects HR
 Recruitment, retention, and training
 Engagement, productivity, and incentives
 Expectations
- Job analysis - what it is, importance
- H/R Planning
○ Steps, contingency - absenteeism - hard vs. soft approaches
○ Handling shortages and surpluses - application
 Downsize vs rightsize
 Layoffs, hiring freeze
 Job sharing
- Recruitment
○ Sources, application

Selection

- Validation Process - criterion validity


- Predictive and Concurrent
 Administer the selection procedure to a group of people and correlate (compare) the
results/predictor scores with performance/criterion scores
 Look for valid predictors
 Difference is in who administered to and implications :
□ Predictive
 Given procedure to applicants
 Hire them, then watch how they work, assess
 Lengthily and then make correlation
 More accurate results
□ Concurrent
 Taking current employees and comparing performance
 Quicker
 Results tainted by experience
□ Best approach is to do both

Theory in Use…

"New face of work" and "diversity Works"


- What does the employment equity act require of employers
- Why should employers not covered by the act still strive for employment equity

- Methods :
 Application forms
◊ What can you ask?
► Education and experience
► "bonafide qualifications"
► Actual ability not assumptions
◊ What is it used for?
► Screen for job specifications
◊ "weighted application blank"
► 50 answer YES, 40 high performers = weight 80
Interviews

Lecture Notes Page 145


 Interviews
◊ Most common but least valid
◊ Because of interviewers and questions asked
► Early bias
 First impression
► Negative influence
► Hypothesize
► Match to ideal
► Halo effect
 Some characteristics overshadow everything
► Central tendency /leniency / strictness
 Rate everyone average
 Rate everyone easy
 Rate everyone low
► Rating depending on order
 Following earlier performance could be better or worse
◊ Degree of variance and validity of questions

Solution :
Interviewers :
- Train interviewers
- Use more than one
- Give feedback
Questions :
- Use job analysis as guide for developing questions
- Validate questions
- Use "patterned" questions

 Testing
◊ Ability/aptitude
► Pen and paper or job sample
► "assessment centres"
◊ Personality
► Construct validity
- Measuring for a personality trait (construct)
- Is construct related to performance
► Types - self-report and projective
- Projective
– Psychologist projects your personality from your
response
- Self-report
– Yourself
► Interest inventories
- Use more for placement and career counseling

Compensation

- Three objectives
► Attraction - external equity
► Retention - internal equity
► Motivation - provide incentives
- External equity
► Wage survey establishes base rate
► Adjust in regards to economy, nature of company and industry, and
nature of job
- Applicants must understand adjustments
- Internal equity
► Job evaluation
- Evaluating the job to assign pay
► Job evaluation steps
- Job analysis
- Develop list of factors to rate jobs on
Rate jobs *

Lecture Notes Page 146


- Rate jobs *
- Assign pay based on relative value
– "price the pay structure"
"Point Method"
1. Universal factors

Pay Grades / Job Evaluation Points

Pay Equity Legislation

- Not "equal pay for equal work"


- Prohibits paying different wages to employees who work for the same firm and who
work in jobs that are different but of comparable worth to company
- Ends wage discrimination in jobs where there are few men with which to make
comparisons for equal pay
Federal government, ontario, quebec - both public and private sector

Lecture Notes Page 147


- Federal government, ontario, quebec - both public and private sector
 Required to develop and implement plans but complaint based system
 In federal law for over 30 years '77 but wage gap still exists
- Ensure paid same for jobs of equal value regardless of gender
 "systemic wage discrimination" -established compensation practices that tend
to unconsciously favour and reward work done by male workers
 Eliminate portion of wage gap that can't be explained by differences in
education, labour marker experience, or seniority.

- Parent - let locals do their own thing, they have authority and final say, help with financial trouble
○ Set policies
○ Help legal matters
○ Help strike fund
○ Help bargaining
- Local - day to day, contract bargained, grievances handled, branches of union
- Labour congress - association of many unions - promote interest of unions, lobbies with government,
settle parent disputes

Union vs. Management

Union
- Threat of a strike
○ Timing
- Peak season
- Ability to carry it out
○ Strike fund

Management
- Ability to withstand a strike
○ Stockpiling
○ Subcontracting
○ Skeleton staff
- Management does work
○ "strikebreakers"
- "scabs"
- Replacement workers
○ Strike insurance
__________________________________
- Industry wide lockouts
- Employer assoc'n bargaining
○ Imbalance in size
○ Small employers band together to bargain as a group with a large employer

Lecture Notes Page 150


Craft vs. Industrial Unions
Craft - same skill
- Workers with same skill
- Also called trade/labour unions

- Power
○ Create monopoly over scarce resource (skill) +
 Limit access, limit apprenticeship
 Because of sequential nature of work, if one trade is gone, nothing is done.
- Tactics
○ U- Withdraw, jobs at other sites, info. Picket
○ M - industry-wide lockout
 Only thing they can do.
- Strike characteristics
○ Little violence
○ Resolved quickly

Industrial
- Same industry/company

- Power
○ Strength in numbers
 Can be replaced, but makes it difficult to replace
- Tactics
○ U - control physical access through picket line
 Get angry people there to intimidate
○ M - withstand strike
- Strike characteristics
○ Can be violent
○ Can be very long

Collective Bargaining Process Union Certification

- To gain the right to bargain for a group of employees, the union must first demonstrate to OLRB
that the employees want the union as their exclusive bargaining agent

1. Voluntary recognition
- Certification process - through OLRB
□ Organizing/membership drive
□ Certification hearing

Certification Process

Organizing/Membership drive
- Gather proof that the employees want the union
 Signed union card
- Management must not interfere - undue influence - SPIT
 SPY, PROMISE, INTERROGATE, THREATEN = BAD.
Certification Hearing
- "appropriate" bargaining unit
 Desires of U and M
 Desire not to split into too many bargaining units
 Splitting office and production workers
 Removing management from group
 "community of interest" of workers
◊ Nature of work, conditions of employment, and skills

Certification Hearing

Lecture Notes Page 151


Certification Hearing
- "appropriate" bargaining unit --
 List of names to management
 Management has 2 days to challenge names
- Determine if union has support of bargaining unit

#signed union cards

Stages of Negotiations

- Opening statements
 Reactive vs. proactive approach
- Typically management would present proposal first
- Set agenda and take control
- Not be wise if you don't know what union wants
- Take reactive if you don't know and wait…
- If you're reactive you don't set tone; get sense where other side is at
Explain nature of proposal and necessity for acceptance vs. detailed justification

Lecture Notes Page 154


If you're reactive you don't set tone; get sense where other side is at
 Explain nature of proposal and necessity for acceptance vs. detailed justification
- Middle stage
 Offer counterproposals
 Present detailed information to support or refute proposals - identifies range
 Tradeoffs - concessions
- Do this integrative way

- Final stage
 Weigh costs and gains of proposed settlement relative to costs of no settlement
- Take proposal back to bargaining unit

Contract Negotiations

- Issues
 Form of recognition / union security
- (open shop)
 Not available in Ontario
 Union has no security
 Have to collect their own dues
 No assistance
 No security in terms of management
- Voluntary Check-off of Dues
 Everyone in union gets dues taken off paycheck by management
- Rand Formula /Agency Shop
 Everyone in bargaining unit pays dues get it taken off pay check
- (maintenance of membership)
 Status quo
 Keep membership at certain size, if you join you stay a member, you quit, you
lose job.
Least to most secure - Union Shop
 After a period of time you have to join
 Only if you are permanent you have to join
- Closed shop
 Have to be a union member
 Automatic
 Not legal in USA

 Duration and Renewal

- Contract for at least 1 year (3 year more normal)


- Renegotiate anything
- If both agree

- Seniority - "superseniority"

- Every union vote for someone as a union rep.


- "superseniority" applies to union rep. and treated as if they are there longest.

Union Security

Clause 1. (same as present agreement) Each month the company will deduce from the pay cheque of
each employee in the bargaining unit, whether a member of the union or not, an amount equivalent
to monthly Union dues as specified in the Union Constitution and will promptly transmit such
deductions to the secretary-treasurer of the union

Clause 2 : The company agrees that all employees who are or who become members of the Union shall
remain dues-paying members as a condition of continuing employment.

Contract Negotiations

Settlement

- if agreement - ratification vote


 If employees want to ratify the contract (permanent)
□ Contract in effect at end of existing or "retroactive"
- If no agreement …
 Conciliation - before strike/lockout
 Mediation
 Arbitration
- Potential costs of a strike

Conciliation Process

FINAL EXAM

Conciliation Officer Paid for by government


- 14 days maximum

Report

Conciliation Board Strip both teams down to 1 representative and make suggestion
Strikers ask for these “No Board Report” - strike could be averted and hopefully they settle
- strike cannot be averted - 30 days maximum

Report 2 days for mailing


14 day „cooling off‟ period
2 days to mail report
7 day „cooling off‟ period Government saying you should not strike. 9 days
strike/lockout legal
on 17th day strike/lockout legal
on 10th day

If you are not in legal strike position - wildcat strike.

Meditation

Lecture Notes Page 156


Meditation

- After conciliation process exhausted


- No effect on legal timing of strike
- Voluntary - cost borne equally
- Like conciliation officer or board, can only make suggestions

Arbitration

- Voluntary - critical both sides agree to it.


- Compulsory for essential services ("interests" arbitration) or if gov't intervenes
- Decision final and binding
 Here decision gets made
- 3 types
 Final offer - total package selection
 Final offer - issue by issue selection
