Given your understanding of cash flow, financial statements, ratio analysis and time value of money, provide an example of why the integration of these concepts would be important. Do not quote the text, but think through these tools and provide an example for the others in the class as to the importance and value of these ideas when they are effectively integrated.

The best example I can think of that would integrate all of these concepts is when a business is looking to finance some sort of project and they are seeking financing either through the issuance of bonds or a loan from a bank. Some of the concepts would be important to both parties, while others would be more important to one than the other.

Cash Flow

This would be important to both parties. The business, to make sure they have enough cash flow to pay for the financing. And the financiers, for the same reason.

Ratio Analysis

This would be important to both parties for the same reason as above. Especially the "current ratio" (current assets / current liabilities) and the "working capital" ratio (current assets - current liabilities).

Financial Statements

This would be of most importance to the financiers. They would want to see the total picture of a company's financial strength.

Time Value of Money

This would be of most importance to the company itself. They would want to know if the project was worth the total amount they would be paying on the bonds or the loan
