Some Terminologies
Accrual is a noncash value flow recorded in the financial statements.
Annuity the annual amount in a constant stream of payoffs.
Continuing value is the value calculated at a forecast horizon that captures value added after the
horizon.
Terminal value is what an investment is expected to be worth in the future when it terminates or
when it may be liquidated.
Dividend conundrum refers to the following puzzle: The value of a share is based on expected
dividends but forecasting dividends (over finite horizons) does not yield the value of the share.
Historical cost accounting measures investments at their cash cost and adjusts the cost with
accruals.
Matching principle is the accounting principle that recognizes expenses when the revenue for
which they are incurred is recognized.

Disadvantages
Suspect concept:
free cash flow does not measure value added in the short run; value
gained is not matched with value given up.
free cash flow fails to recognize value generated that does not involve
cash flows
investment is treated as a loss of value
free cash flow is partly a liquidation concept; firms increase free cash
flow by cutting back on investments.
When the investment pattern is such as to produce constant free cash flow or
free cash flow growing at a constant rate.

*Interest payments are given as supplemental data to the statement of cash flows, but interest receipts usually are not. Interest income
(from the income statement) is used instead; this includes accruals but is usually close to the cash interest received.
Dells statutory tax rate (for federal and state taxes) is 35 percent, as indicated in the financial Statement footnotes.
