Re: Cash Flow Analysis and Capital Rationing
Caledonia is a corporation who is interested in adding a new trending project to their project line. The project would only be in production for five years and the company has chosen team A to make an educated recommendation. Tem A will analyze the following:
• Cash flow
• Net present value
• Internal rate or return
The following analysis is provided to aid in the understanding of Team A’s final recommendation:
Free Cash Flows
The focus of what Caledonia receives is the free cash flow. The company should focus on what is received and what can be reinvested. The cash flow allows Caledonia to analyze the actual benefits and the costs involved. If the company calculated the depreciation as an expense, and focused primarily on the accounting profit view the amounts would be substantially lower than what is reflected in the free cash flow.
