Procedural Outline 2.1 Net Present Value (from Lecture 4)
1. Form ideas on how to implement strategies of • A project’s net present value is the difference
the firm and increase shareholders’ wealth between an investment’s market value and its cost
all valued at the present time, i. e. the difference
between the present value of all future cash inflows
2. Plan how to implement the ideas and all future cash outflows

2. OCF = Total Operating Cash Flow
A. Effect of taxes
In calculating OCF we need to take into account:
The company needs to pay taxes
A. The effect of taxes on cash flows
If tax rate is 23%,
B. The effect of depreciation on cash flows, i.e.
deductions that result in a “tax shield/benefit”
(revenues – costs) net of taxes is :

Change of total Net Working Capital Example of Net Working Capital calculations
For 2020 added: Suppose that in addition to an initial Working Capital of 100
is DEDUCTED from cash flows in Year 0, the stock of NWC is kept at 10% of sales
at the end of every subsequent year
because, looking at each item: NET WORKING CAPITAL
Change in cash flow from
Stock of previous year to be
Trade receivables (still to receive) NWC End of DEDUCTED (negative sign)
Need to be deducted from sales (i.e. deducted from cash flows) Sales year from cash flows From cash flows:
because customers have not paid yet, negative cash flow
Year 0 100 100 Deduct 100 (‐100)
Year1 800 80 ‐20 Deduct ‐20 (+20)
Trade payable (still to pay) Year 2 1000 100 20 Deduct 20 (‐20)
Need to be deducted from the firm's cost (i.e. added to cash flows) Year 3 1500 150 50 Deduct 50 (‐50)
because the firms has not paid yet, positive cash flow Year 3 And at the end of year 3 recover (add) all remaining NWC Add 150 (+150)
Inventory (already paid) In Year 3 we also recover ALL remaining working capital, ie the stock at the end of Year 3 (150).
Need to be added to the firm's cost (i.e. deducted from cash flows) The total cash flow at the end of Year 3 is therefore: minus (150-100) plus 150: -50 +150 = +100
because these stocks were paid in advance, negative cash flows
Finally, make sure you discount each cash flow appropriately according to their “time tag”
