This paper examines the relative importance of earnings and operating cash flows in equity valuation. In contrast to previous studies that use stock returns or future operating cash flows, we use ex post intrinsic value of equity as the criterion for comparison. Ex post intrinsic value of equity is determined adopting both the discounted dividend and residual income models with ex post (future)...

We model the interplay between cash and debt policies in the presence of financial constraints. While saving cash allows constrained firms to hedge against future cash flow shortfalls, reducing current debt – “saving borrowing capacity” – is a more effective way of securing investment in high cash flow states. This trade-off implies that constrained firms will allocate cash flows into cash hold...

translation is of the most striking manifestations of contemporary arabic literature.this phenomenon in contemporary western criticism of the discussions that influenced this effect is  due to communication and connection with the arab literature and  west.            contemporaneous cash and cash schools, especially schools divan court are external factors affecting research. but the important...

However, the free cash flows scale is important for the financial health of the company, but it has also its own limitations. Moreover, it’s not immune from accounting tricks. Free cash flows can be considered as a measure of value for shareholders of listed companies on Tehran Stock Exchange. The managers of these companies have tended to use the earnings management for managing the free cash ...

Cash-flow Notation: We use (c0, c1, . . . , ci, . . . , cn) to denote the series of cash-flows where ci is received at time t = i . The length of a period, i.e. the interval of time between t = i and t = i + 1, will usually be understood from the context. Negative cash-flows refer to cash payments. The initial cash-flow, c0, will often be negative while the remaining cash-flows are positive. Th...

Cash shortage is one of the most dangerous problems that may appear while projects are in progress. Inadequate cash flows force the companies to take short term or long term loans and in some cases companies end up being bankruptcy. In this study the planned and actual cumulative percentages of cash flows and work progress which are represented using S-curves are used as the basis for analyzing...

This paper investigates the compensation usefulness of accounting variables along several important dimensions (accruals-based vs. cash-flows based, non-return vs. return, and gross vs. net measures), as well as the time series variation of performance measures in CEO bonus plans, using a unique panel of manually collected CEO bonus determinants spanning fiscal years 2006 to 2011. We document t...

In this paper we study algorithms for pricing of financial contracts using a lattice process of interest rates. If the cash-flows generated by the contract depend on the history of the interest rates (path dependent contracts), then the pricing algorithms are typically of exponential complexity. We demonstrate that for some models, there exist polynomial algorithms for path dependent contracts....
