Question 2
(10 points) Ann Arbor is considering offering public bus service for free. Setting up the service will cost the city $0.6M (where M stands for million). The useful life of the buses is 25 years. Annual maintenance of the buses would cost $50,000 per year and they would need a major overhaul in year 15 that will cost a total of $350,000. This overhaul is in addition to the annual maintenance. Annual operating costs will begin at $90,000 in year 1 and grow at 2% per year thereafter. By using the buses as advertisement space, the city will generate a revenue of $75,000 in year 1 and it will grow at 4% per year thereafter.

    Cash Flows

    The cash flow statement reports a company’s inflow and outflow of cash. While an income statement provides the information about whether or not a company made a profit, a cash flow statement can tell you whether the company generated cash. The cash flow statement also provides information regarding investing and financing activities that do not require the consumption of cash. All of these aspects are important for a company management to monitor because they all have such a strong effect on the financial health of the company. The examination of the cash flow statement should be a high priority for potential investors; the amount of money that flows in and out of a company is something that investors might want to monitor.…

    Article 1discusses how different estimates of equity value are obtained by researchers while using the discounted cash flow model (CF) and the Residual income (RI) model. It recognises the inconsistencies prevalent while implementing them. Francis et al (2000) use Value line estimates for finite forecasting periods. They conclude that RI is superior to CF. Courteau et al (2000) analyse whether different valuation models are same when a terminal value calculation based on price is used. They conclude that RI is dominant to CF when terminal price forecasts are not obtainable. Penman and Sougiannis (1998) examine the differences in model estimates by using a portfolio of ex post realizations of financial statement data. They conclude that methods based on projecting GAAP accrual earnings give lower valuation errors than forecasting cash flows.…
