Chapter 4: analysing financial statements

Chapter 4: ANALYSING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
After read through a chapter, there are some key concepts that I found:
       1.The two common frameworks used by people to analyse firms:
The discount cash flow (DCF) and economic profit frameworks.
·        An example about Ryman Healthcare is very clearly for me to understand Free Cash Flow. As I know, free cash flow refer to the amount of cash available from operations after paying for planned investments in plant, equipment and other long-term assets, and after paying dividends to shareholders. Cash flows are important to company’s survival. Cash flow data help to spot losers than they help to spot winners. When a company’s business is booming, profits are high and cash flows are usually improving. A negative cash flow from operations warrants investigation. A cash turndown in a single year is not necessarily a danger signal, But negative cash flows for two consecutive years may throw a company into liquidation. Without cash flow from operations, a business simply cannot survive.
·        The economic profit model highlights how and when the company creates value yet leads to a valuation that is identical to that of enterprise DCF. An advantage of the economic profit model over the DCF model is that economic profit is a useful measure for understanding a company’s performance in any single year, whereas free cash flow is not.
          Economic profit = (RNOA-Cost of capital)* NOA
Where RNOA = OI/NOA

  2. The most powerful way of viewing a business: viewing a firm as having separate operating and financial activities.
We need to know what is operating and financial activities. After having an understanding about that, we can separate them easily. A firm’s Operating activities, which is usually where value is added (or destroyed) by a firm. Financial activities relate to loan, bank, borrowing....
The first thing I need to do in my assignment is that I need to separate two those activities to start restating financial statements.
  
  3. Restate two key financial statements: balance sheet and income statement.
I have a big question for this section: why the company do not restate their financial statement before they have been public?
A balance sheet statement is so easy to restate if I can separate the operating and financial assets and liabilities of my company.

CHAPTER 3: INTRODUCING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

Since I study Principle of Accounting, I have learn about some Financial Statements.The financial statements are part of the annual report that usually comprise a balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity and a cash flow statement.

I realized I need to remember elements that will appear in each report.
Balance sheet have Asset account, Liability account and Equity account.

Income statement just only have Revenue and Expense account

Why we do not combine all in 1 report?

Moreover, Balance sheet is divided into 2 sets: The balance sheet of a group of companies and the balance sheet of the parent company by itself.

Secondly, there is a Income statement, A firm’s income statement shows how things are changing in a firm over a period of time, usually one year
In my company's annual report about income statement, I am very confuse why the data for 2013 in the report of 2013 and 2014 are different? I thought it need to be the same. What change the data?
Which data I will use to put in the Income statement?

The third report that I have done for my Annual reports is statement of change in equity.t. It shows opening equity; the profit (or loss) for the period ;other comprehensive income and payments or transfers between your firm and its equity investors, such as dividends or share issues.

The value of anything, Price is what you pay and value is what you get. In the market, most customers  will buy more when the price is lower. I usually do that too even though I do not need it.

This chapter is so clear about balance sheet and Income statement, It also remind me the equation of accounting that is very important for my study.

CHAPTER 1: THE WAY OF VIEWING BUSINESS

CHAPTER 1: THE WAY OF VIEWING BUSINESS

I am studying bachelor of accounting, the first question when I just read in the first second is what actually is ACCOUNTING? the question make me wanna read through all this chapter 1 to get an answer for that.

First key I have learn is Accounting is a business model.The meaning of Accounting is very clear in a title. After that is the meaning of Business, I never learned deeply about definition of the word, I can see "Business" is about creating value, serving people needs. The need of people is different. Therefore, business have to make a different to satisfy people want.That is a big opportunity to expand the business. A firm need to invest more, create more and it also is the challenge in Business too. I have stayed in Australia for more than 2 years, I must say it has a lot of businesses even though just in small area. Each business do own activity and make the diferrent to others

The second thing I need to understand if I wanna go higher and professional in Accounting is know and understand the key "building-blocks" of it:

  • Journal: The daily transaction of a firm. transaction entered into a journal each day.


  • Ledger: contain these same transactions but arranged not in the order in they occur each day but individual accounts


  • Debit( to owe) and Credit(to believe) are also important in Accounting

From the meaning of these words, I know I debit Asset account, credit Equity and Liability account.

The most important in this chapter I need to remember all the time is the Accounting Equation:
 Asset = Equity + Liabilities

Double-entry accounting is a way of looking at The business. According to Charlie Munger, double entry book keeping was a hell of invention. In my opinion, double entry likes we add or subtract something, after we need to give it back to make the accounting equation balance all the time.
Double entry is a system of recording transactions of  a firm in such a way as to ensure the relationship between the different elements of the business model that underpins accounting is kept intact.

It also has some elements to expand the equation are Revenue and Expense.
Revenue are additions to equity as a result of increases to assets or reductions in liabilities of a firm but not those changes to assets and liabilities that relate to transactions between a firm and its equity owners. I am confusing about revenue and Income. Are they different or similar?

The basic of Accounting is very important and I must say this chapter is very useful for me.
