@15:20 Bless you! Also, thank you for such an incredible youtube channel! I really appreciate the accounting, statistics, and finance playlists. I've watched them all 3 times now and I feel much more confident returning to school after 10 years for my MBA w/ concentration in finance.
Thank you, Prof. Damodaran. On the Pharmaceutical Company example (Step 3) - would we also have to take into account the tax impact of changing the R&D expense / depreciation amounts?
In the accompanying practice materials, the solution for question one regarding Google's R&D expenses lists the unamortized portion and the amortization as both 5541.67, but these don't add up to the R&D expense of 16625. How did you calculate the unamortized and amortized portion of the R&D to get 5541.67 for both?
Hey Prof. Damodaran, thank you very much for your helpful videos - please keep up the great work! Can you please elaborate how you calculated the discount factor of 4.7% at 5:40? If I solve the following equation for x, I get a discount factor of 5.169% (and not 4.7%): 333/x + 353/x^2 + 327/x^3 + 300/x^4 + 252/x^5 + 227.2/x^6 + 227.2/x^7 + 227.2/x^8 + 227.2/x^9 + 227.2/x^10 = 2119
The "convert leases into debt and R&D into CapEx" makes more sense now. You said taxes should remain the same even though assets and debt increase, but is that usually the case as the result of the change? Can even a private company benefit from making this change?
4:10 - In Micron's 10-k for FY2019, on the balance sheet there were Deferred income Taxes of $837million on the asset side, and Taxes payable of $309 million on the liability (current) side - can I just net them out against each other? I see that it is similar in previous years?
In The solution to Nordstrom question 4, for operating income you need add back current years lease expense i.e. $333M but @ashwath says its last years lease expense of $374M. Similarly for question 5 the class says for interest expense you need add portion of current years lease payment which should be $333M*0.03=$9.9M Confused can someone explain
I'm doing the follow up exercise N° 2 and I'm a bit confused about the calculations related to the years 6 and beyond. The solutions seem to imply an embedded number of years equal to 5 while my calculations end up with 4 years (1136/average of (Year 1 --> Year 5)). Does anybody knows whare am I making a mistake?
The lease and R&D adjustments just move items in a cash flow statement from operating to financing (leases) and from operating to investing (R&D). I deal with this in my valuation and corporate finance classes.
I'm not very convinced that R&D expenses are correlated with actual Rnd. Billions of dollars of research projects go nowhere while people can build Google in their garage. The point is it's better to read and research about actual Rnd happening in the company rather than looking at that budget.
Can someone explain how in Nordstram's balance sheet under current liabilities that 244 figure is written since in the year 2020 the value of Operating Leases is 333
The $333 mil in yr 2020 is the "lease payment that year" but not "interest expense of the debt that year". The whole exercise, to my understanding, is to convert this 10-yr payment commitment from yearly operating expenses into a debt. This debt is a capital expense (hence we "capitalise" the lease). To do so, we have to compute the present value of how much this lease agreement is worth by summing up the discounted future payments with pre-tax rate of debt cost 4.7%. We will obtain the figure $2,119 mil, which I still have a hard time coming up with. This 2119 has now become a debt of the company at the liabilities side of balance sheet. However, to make balance sheet balance, a counter-asset (my take is to treat it as something like temporary ownership or use right) of same amount should be created. Since liabilities is divided into long-term (>1 year) and short-term(
Damodaran is the modern father of security analysis. Bravo

This is absolute gold. Really appreciated and thankful for your time, professor.
Absolutely, couldn’t have stated it better
ITS BITCOIN
You're my role model, from now on.
Prof. Damodaran, Thank you very much.

I was wondering the same thing
He didn’t calculate it, the 4.7% is a disclosure stated in Nordstrom’s 2019 10K.
Yes using that 4.7 figure I am getting somewhere near 2167
@@shreyshah3457 it's 2.163,3 in my calculations to be exact
Bro formula is cash flow / ( 1+x)^t to be precise i think and it will be right by this way ( ofcourse not sure because i didn't calculate)😅

Prof. Damodaran, you seem to wear your glasses only on lectures with examples :)
Good catch. I need reading classes to see numbers on the screen. One of the costs of getting older, but it is a small enough price to pay.
Can anyone explain how did RnD amortization became Cepex depreciation?

Prof. Damodaran, could you please upload another video demonstrating the impact of these adjustments on the cash flow statements?

Yeah, there is also operational or maintenance RnD. Which follows your logic. I dont think all RnD can be capitalized.
Professor how can we trust the numbers that small cap companies write on the statements? Thanks
