Cash Flow

Topic3: "Are You the Boss?"

現金流

现金流

Cash Flow (CF) is the increase or decrease in the amount of money a business, institution, or individual has. In finance, the term is used to describe the amount of cash (currency) that is generated or consumed in a given time period. There are many types of CF, with various important uses for running a business and performing financial analysis.

 

Types of cash flow include:

  1. Cash from Operating Activities – Cash that is generated by a company’s core business activities – does not include CF from investing. This is found on the company’s Statement of Cash Flows (the first section).

  2. Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCFE) – FCFE represents the cash that’s available after reinvestment back into the business (capital expenditures).

  3. Free Cash Flow to the Firm (FCFF) – This is a measure that assumes a company has no leverage (debt). It is used in financial modeling and valuation.

  4. Net Change in Cash – The change in the amount of cash flow from one accounting period to the next. This is found at the bottom of the Cash Flow Statement.

現金流是指在收益報告中,進出公司賬戶的現金額。可指單一項目,或整個企業的現金流量。

部分交易者將現金流量視為評估一個企業財務基礎的一項標準。如果有大量現金流入,則企業擁有更強的實力進行再投資。由於其不受會計規則影響,使用現金流對不同公司進行橫向評估更為簡單。

現金流量并不一定是公司盈利能力的標誌,然而其代表了該公司的 流動性.現金流量的計算方式是,在指定時間段內,減去總支出,加上總收入,得出現金餘額的變化量。現金流量有許多種類型,主要取決於企業計算哪一方面的現金流量。

Alleged Negligence

 

Topic3: "Are You the Boss?"

被指控事故

被指控事故

There are several elements to sue in a negligence action:

  1. Duty: the defendant has a duty to others, including the plaintiff, to exercise reasonable care,

  2. Breach: the defendant breached that duty through an act or culpable omission,

  3. Damages: are compensatory in nature. Compensatory damages addresses a plaintiff/claimant's losses (in cases involving physical or mental injury the amount awarded also compensates for pain and suffering). The award should make the plaintiff whole, sufficient to put the plaintiff back in the position he or she was before Defendant's negligent act. Anything more would unlawfully permit a plaintiff to profit from the tort.

  4. Causation: To account for the liability resulting from a negligent act or omission, it is necessary to prove not only that the injury was caused by that negligence, but also that there is a legally sufficient connection between the act and the negligence.
