Cash flows and fund flows
In any project, Cash flows of year two is dependent with cash flows of year one so it is called time dependency of cash flows. For example: if public reacted positively high in the market for a new product that introduced by a company, resulting high initial cash flows, then cash flows in future periods are also likely to be high. Therefore, it is time dependency of cash flows. S0193585
A statement of cash flows is also called a cash flow statement. The statement of cash flows is a cash basis report that shows the inflows and outflows of cash for the operating, investing and financing resources of a business.
Operating activities
operating cash flows are all those cash inflows and outflows due to basic business operating activities.
Investors in the company will drive the stock price up for Company A if they are more confident that Company A's cash flow will be closer to their expected value. Company A's stock price will be higher than Company B.
The present value of future cash flows is inversely related to the interest rate.
Free cash flows represent the cash generated by a firm that is available to be distributed to investors. The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the average rate of return required by investors in order to finance the firm's operations. By discounting the free cash flows at the WACC, we can determine the present value of those cash flows, which ultimately determines the firm's value. If the present value of the free cash flows exceeds the firm's invested capital, then the firm is considered to have positive value.
How is the value of any asset whose value is based on expected future cash flows determined?
Enterprise value is the present value of free cash flows a company can generate.Enterprise Value = Market Value of Equity + Debt - Cash
Higher cash flows from financing Lower cash flows from operations Lower liabilities Lower assets Higher current ratio Lower debt to equity ratio Higher asset turnover ratio
Undiscounted cash flows is a term commonly used in real estate sector. This does not take into consideration the value of time and in the future the value of a tangible asset will depreciate.
Present value annuity factor calculates the current value of future cash flows. The present value factor is used to describe only the current cash flows.
