Management
and Short-Term Financing
Working-Capital Management
• Current Assets– cash, marketable securities, inventory,
accounts receivable
• Long-Term Assets– equipment, buildings, land
• Which earn higher rates of return?
• Which help avoid risk of illiquidity?
Working-Capital Management
• Current Assets– cash, marketable securities, inventory,
accounts receivable
• Long-Term Assets– equipment, buildings, land
• Risk-Return Trade-off: Current assets earn low returns, but
help reduce the risk of illiquidity.
Working-Capital Management
• Current Liabilities– short-term notes, accrued expenses,
accounts payable
• Long-Term Debt and Equity– bonds, preferred stock, common stock
• Which are more expensive for the firm?
• Which help avoid risk of illiquidity?
Working-Capital Management
• Current Liabilities– short-term notes, accrued expenses,
accounts payable
• Long-Term Debt and Equity– bonds, preferred stock, common stock
• Risk-Return Trade-off: Current liabilities are less expensive,
but increase the risk of illiquidity.

The Hedging Principle
• Permanent Assets (those held > 1 year)– should be financed with permanent and
spontaneous sources of financing.
• Temporary Assets (those held < 1 year)– should be financed with temporary
sources of financing.

The Hedging Principle
• Permanent Financing– intermediate-term loans, long-term debt,
preferred stock, common stock
• Spontaneous Financing– accounts payable that arise spontaneously
in day-to-day operations (trade credit, wages payable, accrued interest and taxes)
• Short-term financing– unsecured bank loans, commercial paper,
loans secured by A/R or inventory
Cost of Short-Term Credit
Interest = principal x rate x time
ex: borrow $10,000 at 8.5% for 9 months
Interest = $10,000 x .085 x 3/4 year
= $637.50
We can use this simple relationship:
Interest = principal x rate x timeto solve for rate, and get the
Cost of Short-Term Credit
We can use this simple relationship:
Interest = principal x rate x timeto solve for rate, and get the
Annual Percentage Rate (APR)

APR = x

example: If you pay $637.50 in interest on $10,000 principal for 9 months:
APR = 637.50/10,000 x 1/.75 = .085
= 8.5% APR

Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is similar to APR, except that it accounts for compound interest:

What is the (APY) of a 9% loan with monthly payments?
APY = ( 1 + ( .09 / 12 ) 12 -1 ) = .0938
= 9.38%
