Many financial decisions require the analysis of uneven or nonconstant cash flows. Stock dividends typically increase over time, and investments in capital equipment almost always generate uneven cash flows. The term cash flow (CFt) denotes cash flows, while payment (PMT) designates cash flows coming at regular intervals. The present value of an uneven cash flow stream is the sum of the PVs of the individual cash flows. The equation is: PV = ∑(CFt / (1+r)^t). Similarly, the future value of an uneven cash flow stream is the sum of the FVs of the individual cash flows. Many calculators have an NFV key that lets you obtain the FV. However, if your calculator doesn't have a net future value (NFV) key, you can calculate the NFV as follows: NFV = NPV × (1+r)^n. One can also find the interest rate of the uneven cash flow stream with a financial calculator by solving for r in the equation: NPV = ∑(CFt / (1+r)^t). Quantitative Problem: You own a security with the cash flows shown below: $700, $355, $240, $320. If you require an annual return of 10%, what is the present value of this cash flow stream? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate calculations.

E11-27. Refine Cash Balance and Consider Capital Structure Consider the following actual FY2017 data and a forecast of FY2018 selected balance sheet and income statement numbers. $ millions | FY2017 Actual | FY2018 Est. Net sales | $29,009 | $32,102 Total assets | 14,592 | 16,051 Total liabilities | 8,755 | 9,923 Total equity | 5,837 | 6,128 Cash | 2,918 | 4,378 Marketable securities | 730 | 730 Total liabilities (including long-term debt) | 8,755 | 9,923 Treasury stock | (2,189) | (2,627) Required a. Calculate the company’s normal cash level as a percentage of sales. b. Determine the amount of adjustment needed to return cash to a normal level. Is an adjustment warranted? Explain. c. Compute the liabilities-to-equity ratio for the company’s current year (FY2017) and using the forecasted FY2018 numbers. What do we observe? d. Adjust marketable securities so the forecasted cash balance is at its normal level. What effect does this have on the forecasted liabilities-to-equity ratio? e. Adjust long-term debt so the forecasted cash balance is at its normal level. What effect does this have on the forecasted liabilities-to-equity ratio? f. Adjust treasury stock so the forecasted cash balance is at its normal level. What effect does this have on the forecasted liabilities-to-equity ratio? g. Adjust both long-term debt and marketable securities so as to adjust the forecasted cash balance. In so doing, make sure we preserve the company’s liabilities-to-equity ratio. (Hint: Use “Goal Seek” under the “What-If Analysis” in Excel to determine the proportion of long-term debt versus treasury stock needed to ensure the forecasted liabilities-to-equity ratio remains at its historical level.) h. Adjust both long-term debt and treasury stock so as to adjust the forecasted cash balance. In so doing, make sure we preserve the company’s liabilities-to-equity ratio. (Hint: Use “Goal Seek” under the “What-If Analysis” in Excel to determine the proportion of long-term debt versus treasury stock needed to ensure the forecasted liabilities-to-equity ratio remains at its historical level.)

0:00 Hello everyone.
00:01 So the question says that we need to calculate if you require an annual return of 10 % what is the present value of this cash flow stream? so we'll make the tabulation first in which we'll take year then cash flow then present value factor and then present value.
00:35 So for year 1 cash flow has been given 690.
00:40 So how we'll calculate present value? that will be 1.
00:44 Divided by 1 plus 10 % to the power year that is 1 so we get on solving 0 .9091 now talking about present value so present value will be cash flow that is 690 multiplied by present value factor that we have calculated that is 0 .9091 so we get on solving our present value that is 627 .27.
01:20 Similarly for year 2, cash flow is given 370.
01:25 So our present value will be 1 divided by 1 plus 10 % to the power 2.
01:33 So on solving we get 0 .8264.
01:41 Then our present value will be 370 multiplied by present value factor that is 0 .8264.
01:51 That on solving gives 305 .79.
02:01 Next for year 3, cash flow has been given 260.
02:07 So our present value factor will be 1 divided by 1 plus 10 % to the power 3...
