𝒄𝒂𝒔𝒉 𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝒊𝒏 𝟏 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓
𝑷𝑽 𝒄𝒂𝒔𝒉 𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝒊𝒏 𝟏 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓 (𝒃𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒇𝒊𝒕 𝒐𝒓 𝒄𝒐𝒔𝒕) =
𝟏 + 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 %
NPV Decision Rule:
When making an investment decision, take the alternative with the highest NPV. Choosing this alternative is
equivalent to its NPV in cash today
Book Value = Shareholder’s Equity
Market Value = # shares outstanding x Price per share
Enterprise Value = Equity + Debt – Cash (and cash equivalents)
Price to Book Ratio (P/B) = Market Cap / Book Value of Equity
High P/B Ratio means growth stocks - Low P/B Ratio means value stocks
