Title: General Financial Concepts and Economic Principles Applied to Sports
1General Financial Concepts and Economic
Principles Applied to Sports
2- Accounts payable
- Accounts receivable
- Accrual accounting
- Ambush marketing
- Amortization
-
- financial obligations owed for merchandise
received - money owed by a customer for a credit purchase
- system for recording expenditures and revenues as
they occur, not when money is paid or received - when a corporation uses advertising closely
related to a sporting event to make consumers
believe that it is a sponsor of the event without
paying to become a sponsor - expensing the acquisition cost less the residual
value of intangible assets
3Amortization vs. Depreciation
- Amortization is an accounting process for
expensing the acquisition costs of intangible
assets, less their residual values, over their
estimated useful economic lives. - Depreciation is the accounting process of
charging against earnings for the deterioration
of a tangible asset over time. - Amortization and depreciation are reductions in
the value of assets on the balance sheet and
expenses on the income statement. - Goodwill and certain brands cannot be amortized
because they have an indefinite useful life.
4Example of a Players Contract
- Three-year contract signed by Jones in 2006 for
- Year one for 1,150,000
- Year two for 1,120,000
- Year three for 1,150,000
- Signing bonus 2,000,000
- Team has option for fourth and fifth years at
1,150,000 each year - Performance bonuses
- 30,000 if team plays in conference championship
- 20,000 if Jones makes the Pro Bowl
- 50,000 if Jones is defensive Player of the Year
5Teams Annual Amortization
It is assumed that the higher salary in year one
represents a disguised first-year payment of
50,000 for the team getting two option years.
6Valuation of a Professional Sports Team
- Example
- 600 million for the franchise
- Seller and buyer agree to 300 million in player
contracts - 100 in goodwill and intangibles
- 200 million allocated to the franchises
property rights
- Cash and cash equivalents
- Season ticket advance payments
- Receivables
- Player contracts
- Lease agreements
- Fixed assets
- Goodwill (and other intangible assets)
- Entire sports franchise
- Specific assets
- Historical and future income streams
7- Breach of contract
- Bond
- Book value
- Capital or fixed assets
- Cartel
- Common stocks
- failure to perform a duty imposed under a
contract - a debt security or an obligation of a company to
repay borrowed money - purchase price minus depreciation total assets
minus total liabilities - permanent assets such as equipment, buildings,
stadiums, arenas, and fields that can be
depreciated - an agreement or collusion among a small number of
business entities with similar products to
increase their profits by reducing competition,
such as through the allocation of territories or
outputs - equity value or partial ownership in a company
8- purchase of one product is tied to the purchase
of another product - A oral or written agreement between two or more
parties that is enforceable under law
requirements include an offer or a conditional
promise, acceptance by the party to whom the
offer was made, consideration or an exchange of
something of value, legality, capacity to
understand one's acts, and precision or
specificity of terms. - a legal and separate ownership model without
personal liabilities
- Complements
- Contract
- Corporation
9- giving of financial benefits or favorable
treatment to corporations or wealthy individuals
by the public or government - purchase made and paid for at a later date it is
listed on the right side in a T-account system - assets that can be converted to cash in one year
or less - decrease in revenue or net worth it is listed on
the left side in a T-account system - relationship between the price of a product and
the amount of product consumers want to buy
quantity of goods or products to purchase at
different prices
- Corporate welfare
- Credit
- Current assets
- Debit
- Demand curve
10- Depreciation
- Dividend
- Discount rate
- Economic impact
- Economies of scale
- accounting write off for the deterioration of an
asset over time is a charge against earnings - return on investment
- interest rate to be earned from an investment is
used to determine the present value of an
investment option - the net change in the city and surrounding
metropolitan area resulting from the spending
associated with a sports facility - savings associated with increases in size,
operations, or scale
11- Economics
-
- Free market economics
- Sports league economics
- Economic assumption 1
- Economic assumption 2
- Electronic fund transfers
- the study of market systems sport managers need
to understand how to make sound financial plans
and decisions - seeks to drive competitors out of business
- seeks to keep teams in business
- is that everyone in sport acts rationally in
seeking to make himself or herself better off - is that the supply and demand markets work
- funds withdrawn automatically from a customers
bank account
12- Elasticity of demand
- Elastic demand
- Inelastic demand
- Income elasticity of demand
- Equilibrium price
- percentage change in quantity demanded divided by
the percentage change in price - a given percentage change in price leads to a
larger percentage change in quantity demanded - a given percentage change in price leads to a
smaller percentage change in quantity demanded - the percentage change in quantity demanded
divided by a percentage change in income - when the price of the amount demanded equals the
amount supplied
13- Equity
- Fixed costs
- Future value
- Goodwill
- Hidden costs
- Independent contractor
- Law of diminishing marginal utility
- the value of a company (includes investments and
retained earnings) - costs remain the same, such as player rosters and
management - value of a sum of money after being invested for
a specified period of time - difference between the book value and the market
value - not anticipated real costs
- a non-employee who is his or her own boss and
makes own decisions - with more of a product, the marginal utility of
each extra unit gets progressively smaller that
is, each incremental unit has less utility
14Time Value of Money the value of money
decreases over time because of reduced buying
power
- An owner plans to sell a piece of property and
has two potential buyers which offer should be
taken? - Buyer 1 will pay 102,500 in 12 months
- Buyer 2 will pay 100,000 immediately
- If the first option is taken, the present value
of the money actually is 97,619 because of the
loss of buying power after 12 months
(102,500/1.05, assuming a 5 interest rate or
discount rate) - So, is this really the better offer?
15Time Value of Money the value of money
decreases over time because of reduced buying
power
- An owner plans to sell a piece of property and
has two potential buyers which offer should it
take? - Buyer 1 will pay 102,500 in 12 months
- Buyer 2 will pay 100,000 immediately
- If the second option is taken, the owner can
invest the 100,000 at 5 interest and after 12
months will have 105,000 - Since 105,000 is the future value of the initial
lump sum amount that is invested over a period of
time, this is the better option.
16Elasticity of Demand (Ed) Percentage change in
quantity demanded divided by the percentage
change in price
- Elastic demand (Ed gt 1) A given percentage
change in price leads to a larger percentage
change in quantity demanded (for example, a 10
increase in the price of a ticket causes a
greater than 10 decrease in quantity purchased,
resulting in a loss in revenue) - Example If the Kansas City Royals were to
increase their season ticket prices by 10, the
ticket demand would likely fall more than 10
resulting in a loss of revenue.
17- Inelastic demand (Ed lt 1) A given percentage
change in price leads to a smaller percentage
change in quantity demanded (for example, a 10
increase in the price of a ticket causes a less
than 10 decrease in quantity purchased,
resulting in an increase in revenue) - Example If the Indianapolis Colt sold out their
stadium for every game in 2006 and then decided
to increase season ticket prices by 10 in 2007,
the demand for tickets would likely drop but the
decrease would be less than 10, thus resulting
in an increase in revenue.
18- Limited Liability Corporation or Partnership
- Marginal revenue product
- Marginal utility
- Market shortage
- Market surplus
- a legal business entity with the benefits of a
partnership and a corporation - change in total revenue that occurs when there is
a change in variable input (total revenue/change
in variable input or marginal physical product x
marginal revenue) - additional satisfaction or benefit from each
(next) unit purchased decisions are made based
on marginal costs versus marginal benefits - an insufficient supply that does not meet the
demand - excess supply or more than is demanded
19- Markets
- Market equilibrium
- Market value
- Monopoly
- Monopsony
- Net profit margin
- the interaction between buyers (their demand) and
sellers (amount they will supply) - the price at which the quantity demanded equals
the quantity supplied - price per share of common stock times average
number of outstanding shares the price within
the marketplace - only one firm or seller controls the market and
sets the price (absence of competition) - only one buyer in a market
- income after payment of interest and taxes
20- Net worth
- Opportunity cost
- Partnership
- Present value
- Proprietorship
- difference between total assets and total
liabilities - the value of the next best alternative foregone,
the value of actions not taken, or what you had
to give up to get what you wanted the most - two or more owners with personal financial
liabilities - current value of a future amount of money
- single ownership model with personal financial
liability
21- Related party transaction
- Scarcity
- Sports agent
- State actor
- occurs when two entities, such as a professional
sports team and media corporate owner, join into
a special business relationship with each other,
such as for broadcasting games - not enough resources to give every person what is
wanted - the person who negotiates employment, endorsement
deals, public relations activities, and
oftentimes finances for an athlete - a person or entity that is subject to the United
States Bill of Rights and thus must not violate
certain rights and freedoms, such as due process
22- Stock
- Statement of cash flows
- Substitutes
- Sunk costs
- Supply curve
- Tax-exempt bond
- the sale of a piece of a corporation in order to
raise money - a financial statement that shows revenue sources
and expenses - products filling similar roles
- pay-outs in the past that impact current and
future decisions - relationship between the price of a product and
the amount of product suppliers want to sell how
much suppliers will trade or sell at various
prices the relationship is typically positive
since as the price increases the quantity
supplied increases - investors receive interest-free income from
government-issued bonds
23- Time value of money
- Utility
- Variable costs
- the value of money decreases over time because of
reduced buying power - amount of satisfaction, benefit, or enjoyment
- costs vary depending on circumstances, such as
team operations and player development
24Financial Statements
- Balance sheet
- Income statement
- Statement of cash flows
- a financial report that gives a status report of
assets, liabilities, and equity as of a specific
date (used to show changes and the ability to pay
debts) - a financial report of revenues and expenses,
typically on an accrual basis, for a time period
(used to analyze success) - a financial report, usually monthly or quarterly,
that shows incoming and outgoing cash or cash
equivalents as reflected in the balance sheet and
income statement
25Financial Ratios as Measures of Liquidity, or the
ability to meet short-term obligations
current assets/total current liabilities (should
be at least 1 meaning ability to pay current
liabilities with current assets
Current ratio
(total current assets minus inventories)/current
liabilities ability to liquidate current assets
(excluding inventories) to pay current liabilities
Acid test ratio or quick ratio
Solvency ratio net worth/total assets
Net working capital current assets-current
liabilities
26Profitability (corporate earnings)
- Net profit margin net income/revenues
- Gross profit margin earnings before interest
and taxes/revenues - Return on assets net income/average total
assets - Return on equity net income/average
stockholders equity - Return on investment capital net
income/long-term debt owners equity
Break-even analysis or earnings before taxes and
interest revenues minus variable costs and
minus fixed costs of production
27Time Value of Money
- Present value is the current value of a future
amount of money - Future value is the value of a sum of money after
being invested for a specified period of time - Compounding process of accruing a further
return on earnings over an additional time period - Annuities stream of payments to be received for
a specified time period - Perpetuities annual cash flow forever
PV /(1rate of return)
FV x (1 interest rate)t (t the number of
years the money is invested)
28Inventory Management
- Finished good turnover ratio cost of goods
sold/average finished goods inventory - Carrying cost cost of storing inventory also
costs for ordering shipping and receiving cost
of running out of inventory - Replacement costs cost of goods sold method of
inventory valuation - LIFO last in, first out values inventory
based on current replacement cost preferred by
companies because it increases inventory costs,
reduces income, and lessens tax obligation - FIFO first in, first out values inventory
based on earlier price paid for inventory
preferred by shareholders because the increased
price generates greater revenue and hence higher
dividends
29Audited Financial Statements
- Independent auditor (not part of internal
management) - Types of opinion
- Unqualified financial statements conform to
required accounting principles - Qualified some reason for concern
- Adverse financial statements do not conform to
required accounting principles - Disclaimer the auditor was unable to complete
the audit report because of the lack of certain
information or data
