FCFE: net borrowings wanted, change, correct, additional, net

anish

When adding "net borrowings" to arrive at FCFE, this is simply the change in debt correct (i.e. additional ST debt + additional LT debt)? Just wanted to be sure.

SFoyil

In 1 of the mock exams, the solution given was (change LT debt - change in NP)

I still can't figure out why they didnt add them to get the net borrowings figure ..

can anyone help?

STD+LTD+NP - Debt Repayment

I think it's another mistake cause net borrowings = (Change LT debt + Change N/P) not (Change LT Debt - Change N/P) but the plan im going to follow is if it was asked in the exam, ill try both ways and see what fits best cause seems to me every time it is solved in a different way..

Net borrowings = net increase in notes payable + net increase in LTD + net increase in short term debt - repayments + any new issuance of stock.

I am certain that debt payments have to be subtracted.

However I am not sure if new issuance of preferred stock needs to be added or not?

FCFE is cash available to equity holders and issuance of equity, share repurchase and payment of didvidend has no impact on it


issuance of common stock is ignored from FCFE , however issuance of preferred stock is included (preferred div treated just like debt without tax shield)

FinancialAnaly

so i assume the implication is that the calculation used in question 51 of the mock afternoon session is incorrect?

It is increase in LTD MINUS increase in N/P.

This is because N/P will be repaid within the operating cycle so we cannot include it in cash flow available to equity.

I got it.

Anyone get the schweser videos? They have two slides specifically treating Net Borrowing.

Net Borrowing Adjustments

1) Long Term Debt:
- ADD debt issuances to net income to arrive at FCFE
- SUBTRACT debt repurchases from net income to arrive at FCFE
- Net Borrowings = new debt - debt repurchases

2) Notes Payables:
- Increase in notes payables, ADD to FCFE
- Decrease in notes payables, SUBTRACT from FCFE

3) Current Portion of Long Term Debt
- Increase in short term debt, ADD to FCFE
- Decrease in short term debt, Subtract from FCFE
