Tiene que ver con valuación. Firm value es el valor presente a precios del mercado. Valor intrínseco: valor presente de los flujos de efectivo. A firm’s fundamental, or intrinsic, value is defined by: Value= FCF11+WACC1+FCF21+WACC2+FCF31+WACC3+…+FCF∞1+WACC∞ i) Who are the providers (savers) and users (borrowers) of capital? How is capital transferred between savers and borrowers? Savers: Households are net savers. Persons, families, companies which their income is greater than their expenses. Governments are net savers when they run a surplus. Borrowers: Non-financial corporations are net borrowers. Governments are net borrowers when they run a deficit. Capital is transferred through: a) direct transfer (in example, corporation issues commercial paper to insurance company) b) an investment banking house (in example, seasoned equity offering, or

Under an ABC system, the allocation of costs to products is achieved through at least four analytical steps. Firstly, costs are grouped into activity levels. Secondly, cost drivers are

Several internal factors can influence the valuation of a company, however, in the subsequent are some factors that will assist management in protecting its shareholders.

The cost of OS-367 may have increased under the ABC system due to the fact that it the cost of the product needed to be increased to cover all the overhead costs. Activity based costing allocates costs to different areas based on the actual product and service in relation to consumption. Traditional cost allocation allows the company to divide the costs by department and utilizes volume- based information to determine the allocations. Therefore, OS-367 may be the only product that needs a certain machine to be produced and the cost of that machine would be allocated to this certain product. In this scenario, it increased the overhead costs and total cost allocated (ABC), thus the cost per unit needed to be increased. The increase in cost per

It consists of weighting and combining the weights of the ten factors and to evaluate implementing ABC. The potential benefits of ABC can be analyzed in advance along two separate dimensions. And there are ten mediating factors (Pricing Diversity, Support Diversity, Common Processes, Cost Allocation, Growth of Indirect Costs, Pricing Freedom, Fixed Expense Ratio, Strategic Considerations, Cost Reduction Effort, Analysis Frequency) can guide management in determining the answers. The fist five factors (PD, SD, CP, CA, FG) based on the probability. The second dimension of the model seeks to establish decisions. lY axis potential for ABC due to cost distortion---PD.SD.CP.CA.FG lX axis proclivity to use cost information in decision---PF.FE.SC.CR.AF To start management must analyze and responses to two key questions: 1. For a given organization, is it likely that ABC will produce costs that are significantly different from those that are generated with conventional accounting, and does it seem likely that those costs will be "better"? 2. If information that is considered "better" is generated by the system, will the new information change the dependent decisions made by the management? After finish these questions managers of company can discuses the ten factors that support or reject implementation. Finally, the combined weighted scores are plotted as a point on one of the four quadrants of a graph.Plotting the Answers--- Use Contingency Grid Method The steps in the

Funds are transferred from savers who have a surplus of credit to borrowers who have a deficit. Although both take part in saving and borrowing, households are typically the savers and businesses are typically borrowers.
