federal, state, and local governments are also net borrowers in the aggregate
(although many foreign governments, such as those of China and oil-producing
countries, are actually net lenders). Banks and other financial corporations raise
money with one hand and invest it with the other. For example, a bank might raise
money from individuals in the form of a savings account and then lend most of that
money to business customers. In the aggregate, financial corporations borrow slightly
more than they lend.
Transfers of capital between savers and those who need capital take place in
three different ways. Direct transfers of money and securities, as shown in Panel 1
of Figure 1-1, occur when a business (or government) sells its securities directly to
savers. The business delivers its securities to savers, who in turn provide the firm
with the money it needs. For example, a privately held company might sell shares of
stock directly to a new shareholder, or the U.S. government might sell a Treasury
bond directly to an individual investor.
As shown in Panel 2, indirect transfers may go through an investment banking
house such as Goldman Sachs, which underwrites the issue. An underwriter serves
as a middleman and facilitates the issuance of securities. The company sells its stocks
or bonds to the investment bank, which in turn sells these same securities to savers.
Because new securities are involved and the corporation receives the proceeds of the
sale, this is a “primary” market transaction.
Transfers can also be made through a financial intermediary such as a bank or
mutual fund, as shown in Panel 3. Here the intermediary obtains funds from savers
in exchange for its own securities. The intermediary then uses this money to pur-
chase and then hold businesses’ securities. For example, a saver might give dollars
to a bank and receive a certificate of deposit, and then the bank might lend the
money to a small business, receiving in exchange a signed loan. Thus, intermediaries
literally create new types of securities.

value. It is true that every manager needs to understand financial vocabulary and be
able to apply financial tools, but really successful managers also understand how their
decisions affect the big picture. So as you read this book, keep in mind where each
topic fits into the big picture.

The textbook’
s Web site contains several types of files that will be helpful to you:
1. It contains Excel files, called Tool Kits, that provide well-documented models for
almost all of the text’ s calculations. Not only will these Tool Kits help you with
this finance course, they also will serve as tool kits for you in other courses and
in your career.
2. There are problems at the end of the chapters that require spreadsheets, and
the Web site contains the models you will need to begin work on these
resource problems.

Using data from the income statements of Table 2-2, MicroDrive’s 2010 NOPAT is
NOPAT ¼ $283:8ð1 − 0:4Þ ¼ $283:8ð0:6Þ ¼ $170:3 million
This means MicroDrive generated an after-tax operating profit of $170.3 million,
a little better than its previous NOPAT of $263(0.6) = $157.8 million. However, the
income statements in Table 2-2 show that MicroDrive’s earnings per share actually
declined. This decrease in EPS was caused by an increase in interest expense, and not
by a decrease in operating profit.

Depreciation is a noncash expense that was deducted when calculating net income. It must
be added back to show the correct cash flow from operations.
b
An increase in a current asset decreases cash. An increase in a current liability increases cash. For
example, inventories increased by $200 million and therefore reduced cash by a like amount.
c
The net increase in fixed assets is $130 million; however, this net amount is after a deduc-
tion for the year’s depreciation expense. Depreciation expense would have to be added
back to find the increase in gross fixed assets. From the company’s income statement, we
see that the 2010 depreciation expense is $100 million; thus, expenditures on fixed assets
were actually $230 million.
The second section shows investing activities. MicroDrive purchased fixed assets
totaling $230 million and sold $65 million of short-term investments, for a net cash
flow from investing activities of minus $165 million.
The third section, financing activities, includes borrowing from banks (notes payable),
selling new bonds, and paying dividends on common and preferred stock. MicroDrive
raised $224 million by borrowing, but it paid $61.5 million in preferred and common di-
vidends. Therefore, its net inflow of funds from financing activities was $162.5 million.
In the summary, when all of these sources and uses of cash are totaled, we see that
MicroDrive’s cash outflows exceeded its cash inflows by $5 million during 2010; that
is, its net change in cash was a negative $5 million.
MicroDrive’s statement of cash flows should be worrisome to its managers and to
outside analysts. The company had a $2.5 million cash shortfall from operations, it spent
