Ending RE = Beginning RE + Net Income β Dividends
Net Income = Revenue β COGS β SGA β D&A β Interest β Tax
Excel: =Beg_RE + Net_Income - Dividends
Net Income = Revenue β COGS β SGA β D&A β Interest β Tax
Excel: =Beg_RE + Net_Income - Dividends
PP&E Roll-Forward
Ending PP&E = Beg PP&E + CapEx β Depreciation
CapEx = % of Revenue (forecast assumption)
Depreciation = % of Beg PP&E or useful life
CapEx = % of Revenue (forecast assumption)
Depreciation = % of Beg PP&E or useful life
Balance Sheet Check
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
Check = Total Assets β Total L&E
Must equal 0 every period
BS Check: =IF(Check=0,"β Balances","β ERROR")
Check = Total Assets β Total L&E
Must equal 0 every period
BS Check: =IF(Check=0,"β Balances","β ERROR")
Cash Flow Build-Up
Operating CF = Net Income + D&A + Ξ NWC
Investing CF = βCapEx + Asset Sales
Financing CF = Debt Issued β Repaid β Div
Ending Cash = Beg Cash + Total CF
Investing CF = βCapEx + Asset Sales
Financing CF = Debt Issued β Repaid β Div
