财务管理分析【外文翻译】
外文翻译原文Material source：《Analysis For Financial Management》Author：Robert C. HigginsMost thoughtful individuals and some investment bankers know that all interesting financial decisions involve risk as well as return. By their nature, business investments require the expenditure of a known sum of money today in anticipation of uncertain future benefits. Consequently, if the discounted cash flow techniques discussed in the last chapter are to be useful in evaluating realistic investments, they must incorporate considerations of risk as well as return. Tow such considerations are relevant. At an applied level, risk increases the difficulty of estimating relevant cash flows. More importantly at a conceptual level, risk itself enters as a fundamental determinant of investment value. Thus, if two investments promise the same expected return but have differing risk, most of us will prefer the low-risk alternative. In the jargon of economics, we are risk averse, and as a result, risk reduces investment value.The details of the market line need not detain us here. What is important is realization that knowledge of an investment’s expected return is not enough to determine its worth. Instead, investment evaluation is a two-dimensional task involving a balancing of risk against return.1.Risk DefinedSpeaking broadly, there are two aspects to investment risk: The dispersion of an investment’s possible returns, and the correlation of these returns with those available on other assets. An investment’s expected return i s the probability-weighted average of the deviations of three returns are possible—8、12and 18 percent—and if the chance of each occurring is 40、30and 30 percent, respectively, the investment’s expected return is:Expected return=0.40*8%+0.30*12%+0.30*18%=12.2%Dispersion risk captures the intuitively appealing notion that risk is tied to the rang of possible outcomes, or alternatively to the uncertainty surrounding the outcome.Thus because investment A shows considerable bunching of possible returns about the expected return, its risk is low. Investment B, on the other hand, evidences considerably less clustering, and is thus higher risk. Borrowing from statistics, one way to measure this clustering tendency is to calculate the standard deviation of return. The details of calculating an investment’s expected return and standard deviation of return need not concern us here. It is enough to know that risk relates to the dispersion, or uncertainty, in possible outcomes and that techniques exist to measure this dispersion.2.Estimating Investment RiskIn some business situations, an investment’s risk can be calculated objectively from scientific or historical evidence. This is true, for instance, of oil and gas development wells. Once an exploration company has found a field and mapped out its general configuration, the probability that a development well drilled within the boundaries of the field will be commercially successful can be determined with reasonable accuracy.Sometimes history can be a guide. A company that has opened 1,000 fast-food restaurants around the world should have a good idea about the expected return and risk of opening the 1,001st. Similarly, if you are thinking about buying AT＆T stock, the historical record of the past variability of annual return to AT＆T shareholders is an important starting point when estimating the risk of AT＆T shares. I will say more about measuring the systematic risk of traded assets, such as AT＆T shares, in a few pages.Three previously mentioned techniques--sensitivity analysis, scenario analysis, and simulation—are useful for making subjective estimates of investment risk. Although none of the techniques provides an objective measure of investment risk, they all help the executive to think systematically about the sources of risk and their effect on project return. Reviewing briefly, an investment’s IRR or NPV depends on a number of uncertain economic factors, such as selling price, quantity sold, useful life, and so on. Sensitivity analysis involves an estimation o f how the investment’s figure of merit varies with changes in one of these uncertain factors. One commonly used approach is to calculate three returns corresponding to an optimistic, a pessimistic, and a most likely forecast of the uncertain variables. This provides some indication of the range of possible outcomes. Scenario analysis is a modest extension that changes several of the uncertain variables in a mutually consistent way to describe a particular event.Simulation is an extension of sensitivity and scenario analysis in which the analyst assigns a probability distribution to each uncertain factor, specifies any interdependence among the factors, and asks a computer repeatedly to select values for the factors according to their probability of occurring. For each set of values chosen, the computer calculates a particular outcome. The chief benefits of sensitivity analysis, scenario analysis, and simulation are that they force the analyst to think systematically about the individual economic determinants of investment risk, indicate the sensitivity of the investment’s return to each of these determinants, and provide information about the range of possible returns.3.Including risk in investment EvaluationOnce you have an idea of the degree of risk inherent in an investment, the second step is to incorporate this information into your evaluation of the opportunity.The most common way to do this is to the discount rate; that is, discount the expected value of the risky cash flows at a discount rate that includes a premium for risk. Alternatively, you can compare an investment’s IRR, based on expected cash flows, to a required rate of return that again includes a risk premium. The size of the premium naturally increases with the perceived risk of the investment.To illustrate the use of such risk-adjusted discount rates, consider a $10 million investment promising risky cash flows with an expected value of $2 million annually for 10 years. What is the investment’s NPV when the risk-free interest rate is 5 percent and management has decided to use a 7 percent risk premium to compensate for the uncertainty of the cash flows?The bell-shaped curve above the diagram shows the distribution of uncertain annual cash flows. At a 12 percent risk-adjusted discount rat e, the project’s NPV is $1.3 million ($10 million initial cost + $11.3 million present value of future cash flows as shown below).Because the investment’s NPV is positive, the investment is attractive even after adjusting for risk. An equivalent approach is to calculate the investment’s IRR, using expected cash flows, and compare it to the risk-adjusted rate. Because the project’s IRR of 15.1% exceeds 12%, we again conclude that the investment is attractive despite its risk.Note how the risk-adjusted disc ount rate reduces the investment’s appeal. If the investment were riskless, its NPV at a 5% discount rate would be $5.4 million, but because a higher risk-adjusted rate is deemed appropriate, NPV falls by over $4million. In essence, management requires an inducement of at least this amount before it is willing to make the investment.译文资料来源：《财务管理分析》作者：罗伯特C.希金斯很多周到具体的个人和一些投资银行家都知道，所有有利的财务决策都既包含风险也有收益。

This analysis involves examining the financial statements, including the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement, to gain insights into the company's profitability, liquidity, solvency, and efficiency. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of a fictional company's financial report, focusing on key financial ratios and metrics to assess its overall financial health.1. Overview of the CompanyCompany XYZ is a publicly-traded multinational corporation specializing in the manufacturing and distribution of consumer goods. The company operates in various regions, with a diverse product portfolio that includes electronics, home appliances, and personal care products. Over the past few years, Company XYZ has experienced significant growth, expanding its market share and generating substantial revenue.2. Financial Statements Analysis2.1 Balance SheetThe balance sheet provides a snapshot of the company's financialposition at a specific point in time. The key components of the balance sheet include assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity.a. AssetsCompany XYZ's assets are categorized into current assets and non-current assets. Current assets include cash, accounts receivable, inventory, and other liquid assets that can be converted into cash within one year.Non-current assets include property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets, and long-term investments.The analysis of Company XYZ's balance sheet reveals that the company has a strong current asset position, with a current ratio of 2.5.
