The Hottest Metric in Finance

Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) is a metric companies are using to placate the demands of activist investors.  ROIC is a quantitative measure of how companies allocate capital. ROIC is a measure “to show how much new cash is generated from capital investments” (Benoit, 2016, para. 6).   ROIC= EBIT x (1-tax rate)(Debts+Equity)-(Cash+Cash Equivalents)

ROIC is not perfect, in fact, “there are other efficiency metrics, such as return on equity, that are better for certain industries” (Benoit, 2016, para. 9).  Some people believe ROIC is untrustworthy. There is not agreement even on how to calculate it. Aswath Damodaran, a finance professor for New York University, says ROIC is a “lazy shortcut for executives” and detailed cash flow from individual projects is needed (para. 11).

ROIC is not the end all, be all of metrics; but, only one of many that could be used to evaluate a company’s value.  Thank you, Dr Acheson.

There are a few different financial reports and they have many good uses in healthcare.  The first report I will discuss is the balance sheet.  Balance sheet present a snapshot of the financial position of an organization at a given point in time.  The balance sheet is also known as the statement of financial position.  Since the balance sheet changes everyday as a business increases or decreases its assets or changes its composition of tis financing.  For business that have heavy seasonal demand can have balance sheets that look drastically different from month to month.  The balance sheet lists, as of the end of the reporting period, the re-sources of an organization and the claims against those resources.

The next report is the statement of cash flow.  This report that has only been required since 1989 for for-profit businesses and 1995 for not for-profit businesses.  The report was created to have better information about a companies cash inflows and outflows.  It also details why the account is larger or smaller than that of the previous year in addition to providing detailed information on cashflows. 

The third report is the income statement and it summarizes the operations of an organization with a focus on its revenues, expenses, and profitability.  The income statement is also known as the statement of operations or statement of activities.  The income statement reports its operational data over a set period of time.

Genesis Mariano

 “Capital investment analysis is a budgeting procedure that companies and government agencies use to assess the potential profitability of a long-term investment” (Kenton, 2018, para. 1). The goal of its process is identifying the best option that yields the highest return on invested capital. Cash flow estimation is a step used short term forecasting to determine how someone or a business is going to get money for a project and how they are going to pay for the expense. Cash inflow comes from financing, operations, and investing while cash outflow is a result from expenses. “Risk Analysis and Management is a key project management practice to ensure that the least number of surprises occur while your project is underway” (Lavanya, 2008, para.1). By applying a streamlined risk management process, it has the potential to alleviate any uncertainties and minimizes any occurrence or impact of anything negative that could happen. “Cost of capital refers to the opportunity cost of making a specific investment. It is the rate of return that could have been earned by putting the same money into a different investment with equal risk. Thus, the cost of capital is the rate of return required to persuade the investor to make a given investment” (Investing Answers, 2019, para. 1).

                  Like any other business, capital investment financial analysis is an effective way in creating a successful business including the health care field. Healthcare managers can analyze what certain equipment or the need for more staffing or to reduce staff and any other investment that they can benefit from. Having the maximum potential profitability in a long-term investment.

Capital investments are the funds that an organization’s uses to further their business objectives when it comes to the financial side of the business (Gapenski, ). As managers seek to improve the financial status of an organization. very important decisions have to be made when it comes to capital investing. Some tools that can be quite helpful to the managers are things such as financial analysis, which let a manager asses the viability, stability, and profitability of the business (Gapenski, ). Then you have cash flow forecast allow the manager to also look at the amount of cash that is flowing in and out of the business. There has to be a steady positive cash flow in order to have the funds available to make those capital investments. A manager also has to account for any risk that may be associated with making an investment. Lastly, the cost of capital investment deals with a manager taking an in-depth look to make sure that the cost of capital does not exceed the return of the investment. In order for a manager to make a sound and wise decision. These tools must be evaluated.

According to Accounting tools, when decisions are being made by managers they have to ensure that the investment fits into the long term plans of the business and that the capital investment will create a positive return on the investment (Accounting Tools, 2018). So as you can see, a manager can be faced with many challenges when it comes to capital investments, but if the due diligence is done. It can result in financial prosperity for the organization.

What recommendations can you offer to your community to address future risks? Consider future tasks that are associated with the governmental or nongovernmental agency, and use that information to help you explain how your community may be vulnerable to future disasters and emergencies.
