• Two important considerations involved:– The type of assets the firm should use– How many assets it needs to run its business
• Development of a process to evaluate the desirability of asset purchases– Capital budgeting evaluation (Chapter 4)
The Investment Decision

• Acquisition of ‘real’ assets normally the most important consideration– This refers to physical assets such as buildings or
machinery used to manufacture a product for sale or to provide a particular service
• Often need to select the best real asset from a range of alternatives
• Investment decision is also concerned with the purchase of more intangible assets such as patents or shares in another company

53
• How should the firm pass on the returns to shareholders?(i.e. capital gains/dividends)
• This is Dividend Policy (Chapter 10)
• Can the dividend decision affect the value of the firm? (i.e. Is the market efficient)
The Dividend Decision

Real assets
&
Financial assets
Assets that can be put to productive use to
generate a return – e.g. machinery and equipment
Assets that represent a claim to a series of cash flows against an economic unit
“Assets” can be divided into:
Nature of Assets (Real Vs Financial)

59
Firm Valuation (Revisited) • The market value of the firm can be
determined in two ways:1. Sum the market values of its real assets2. Sum the market values of the financial claims
against those real assets
• Common to use the second method, as there is an active secondary market for financial assets, but not necessarily for real assets
![Page 60: Lecture1_Introduction and Preliminary Concepts_USYD Students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020306/545e99fbaf795944708b4915/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)

Capital markets
• Medium for issuing and exchanging financial assets.
• For example:– The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX)– The Australian government bond market
• Provides a means of exchanging current for future consumption.

63
Valuation of Financial Claims• There are three important factors to consider
when valuing the financial claims on a firm:– Cash flows– Time– Risk
• Valuation involves discounting the claims to a firm’s cash flows over the time of its life at an appropriate rate of return for the risk associated with those cash flows
![Page 64: Lecture1_Introduction and Preliminary Concepts_USYD Students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020306/545e99fbaf795944708b4915/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
64
Valuation of Financial Claims• For an asset with a one-year maturity, the
relationship between its value (price), cash flow and risk is given as follows:
• where:– F1 = cash flow from asset in year 1– r = rate of return required on asset
)1()( 1
0 rFPValue+

65
• Value (P0) represents the asset’s equilibrium or intrinsic price– The price of the asset in a perfect capital
market– Based on the certainty of cash flows and
no imperfections within the capital market– No opportunity to make arbitrage profits by
trading on asset mis-pricing
Valuation of Financial Claims
![Page 66: Lecture1_Introduction and Preliminary Concepts_USYD Students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020306/545e99fbaf795944708b4915/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

67
• Example (Cont’d)– You have the opportunity to invest in an asset
providing a one-year cash flow of $110 and your required rate of return is 10%.
• You would be prepared to pay $100 now to receive the certain $110 cash flow a year from now

• Money has a time value
• Money has a time value due to the existence of positive rates of interest
• Would always prefer to receive $1 today to $1 a year from today (or any future time)
Time Value of Money

70
Assumption of Certainty• Future cash flows are risky (ie. uncertain)• Commonly investors are characterised as
risk averse• Risk aversion implies that increases in risk
require increases in return known as a risk premium.
• Appropriate discount rate for future cash flows must incorporate risk premium and time value of money.
![Page 71: Lecture1_Introduction and Preliminary Concepts_USYD Students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020306/545e99fbaf795944708b4915/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)

Perfect Capital Market
• Properties defined by Fama and Miller (1972):
1. No transactions costs2. Equal and costless access to information3. Market participants are price-takers4. Individuals and firms borrow and lend at same rate5. No taxes on interest rates or dividends
![Page 72: Lecture1_Introduction and Preliminary Concepts_USYD Students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020306/545e99fbaf795944708b4915/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
72
Arbitrage• The equilibrium price of a security
should equal its value• Also, assets of equal risk should have
equal prices.• In the absence of this condition, arbitrage
profits arise.• Arbitrage profit is earned by taking no risk
and through the use of borrowed funds.
