This study examined one of the contemporary financial aspects, the level of corporate cash holdings for the firms belonging to the chaebols in the Korean capital markets. Being accompanied by various alternative econometric methodologies such as static and dynamic panel data model, stepwise OLS, and Fama-Macbeth modelm this research extended the preceding Kim's study (2015) in anticipation of validating the results to identify any financial factors which may significantly affect the chaebol firms' cash reserves. Several financial characteristics such as CASHFLOW, MVBV, REINVEST, and AGENCY, were found to be statistically significant factors on the level corporate liquidity, along with CCC as cash conversion cycle in the models. It may be plausible that any outcomes of this study may be applied to enhance the efficiency of financial strategies of the chaebol firms on cash holdings, thereby expediting the development of the domestic capital markets status quo toward the advanced one in the market classification.

본 연구는 한국기업들이 기업자산을 제 3자 혹은 신설기업으로 탈퇴시키므로써, 즉 자산, 제품생산라인, 자회사, 사업부 등을 현금, 증권 등으로 교환하므로써 발생된사건, 특히 자산중 영업일부를 양도한 기업에 있어 주가수익율의 영향을 분석하고자 한다. 분석결과 영업일부를 양도한 기업들은 (+)의 평균초과수익율을 얻는 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 한국증권시장에서 영업(營業) 일부양도(一部讓渡)가 양도기업 株主(주주)의 부(富), 즉 주식(株式)의 시장가치에 정(+)의 영향을 미친다는 것을 의미한다. 그리고 영업 일부양도 후 후속 재무구조 개선집단과 악화 집단간의 시장반응에 있어 악화집단이 오히려 더 큰 정(+)의 시장반응을 보이며 유의적인 큰 차이가 존재했으며, 또한 후속 EPS 증가집단과 EPS 감소집단에 있어서 후속 EPS 증가기업이 더 큰 정(+)의 시장반응을 보이며 유의적인 차이가 존재했다. 이러한 사실로 미루어 볼때 영업(營業) 일부양도(一部讓渡)는 투자자들에 의해 재무구조개선 및 비수익성 영업일부의 양도를 통한 기업수익성(企業收益性)의 증대라는 관점에서 크게 받아들여 지고 있다는 것을 암시해 준다.

In this paper, we analyse empirically the fixed asset investment smoothing of working capital of firms listed on Korea Securities Market. The main results of this study can be summarized as follows. Firms will seek to lower long-term cost by smoothing fixed asset investment and maintaining stationary investment with working capital. Working capital is not only an important use of fund, but also a source of liquidity that should be used to smooth fixed asset investment relative to cash flow shocks if firms face financial constraints. Working capital investment is more sensitive than fixed asset investment to cash flow fluctuations. If firms face financial constraints, working capital investment will compete with fixed asset investment for the limited pool of available cash flows. So, fixed asset investment will have negative relationship with working capital investment. However, criticism that the positive correlation between cash flows and fixed asset investment could arise simply because cash flows is proxy variable for investment demand. Finally, controlling for the fixed asset investment smoothing effects of working capital results in a much larger estimate of the long run impact of financial constraints. Financial constraints is measured by dividend payout ratio and market access level. Fazzari et al. (1988), Fazzari and Petersen (1993), and Faulkender et al. (2008) emphasize that low dividend firms or market unaccessible firms are more likely to face financial constraints, and rarely make use of new equity issuing. The results from empirical analysis show that financial constraints can be better explained using 'adjustment cost' concept. Specifically, the results show that financial constraints exist and that in order to measure financial constraint effects more succinctly, fixed asset investment smoothing effects with working capital should be considered.

This study investigates in-sample and out-of-sample predictive abilities of accruals and accruals components with respect to future cash flows using models developed by Barth et al.(2001). In tests, data collected fromda62 Korean KOSPI and KOSDAQ listed firms for ccr4-2007 are used. Results of in-sample prediction tests are similar with those of Barth et al.(2001). Their accrual components model is better than other three models(NI only model, CF only model and NI-total accruals model) in future cash flows predictive ability. That is, in the case of in-sample prediction, accrual components excluding amortization have additional information contents for future cash flows. But in out-of-sample tests, the results are different. The model including operational cash flows(CF only model) shows best out-of-sample predictive ability with respect to future cash flows among above four prediction models. The accrual components model of Barth et al.(2001) has worst out-of-sample predictive ability. The results are robust to sensitivity analyses. In conclusion, we can't find the evidence that accruals and accrual components have predictive ability with respect to future cash flows in out-of-sample prediction tests. This results are consistent with results of Lev et al.(2005), and inconsistent with the belief of accounting standards formulating organizations such as FASB and KASB.

This study examines the changes and determinants of cash to assets ratios(cash ratios) by analyzing 14,016 Korean manufacturing firms sample for the period of $1999{\sim}2004$. The major findings can be summarized as follows. First, the average cash ratios for Korean manufacturing firms have increased from 4.7 percent of 1999 to 5.2 percent of 2004. In addition, the average cash holdings per firm also have increased from 4.3 billion Won to 8.0 billion Won during the same period. However, the capital expenditures relative to cash ratios or operating cash flow have decreased significantly, confirming the notion that physical investment of Korean manufacturing sector has been shrinking recently. Second, in regression tests with panel data, the coefficients of target adjustment variables show the expected negative signs, but coefficients of the deficit of fund variables show the unexpected positive signs. Thus, the evidence seems to be supportive of static tradeoff model of cash holdings. Third, in regression tests to find the determinants of cash ratios, most of the variables show similar results as the previous studies. However, in terms of adjusted coefficient of determination and F-statistic, the firm-characteristic variables suggested by static trade-off theory have more explanatory power than the variables suggested by pecking order theory.

The objective of this study is to describe and determine how and to what extent size of firm, operating vessels and interest cost, leverage, debit maturity, growth opportunity and cash flow affect the cash holdings of Korean shipping companies. A sample of 38 Korean shipping firms for a period of 9 years(from 2005 to 2013) was selected. In panel data regression, this study finds that cash holdings are negatively affected by firm size, operating vessel size and debit maturity, and positively affected by volume of interest costs. In firm's group of relatively large volume of operating vessel, it's cash holdings are affected by debit maturity, cash flows and growth opportunity but in firm's group of small volume of it, interest cost, debit maturity and operating vessel's size are related with cash holdings. It proved that determinants of cash holdings in a high interest costing group are size of operating vessel, interest cost and debt maturity. On the other hand, debit maturity, growth opportunity, firm size and extent volume of vessels are associated with cash holdings in relatively row interest costing group.

A valuation of the most hotels in Korea have been decided by their asset value and influenced by real estate market. On the other hand, most hotels aim to maximize their through generating profit as other enterprise do it. Therefore a valuation of the hotel industry should be decided from calculating in their profit value. This study is tried to find out the relationships of the company value by free cash flow model between accounting index in hotel industry. The results are as follows. First, there is a 25% gap between high level and low level in hotel industry. Second, in the first rate hotels it is meaningful 99% between asset size and liability rate. Third, there is 99% meaningful relationship asset size of the first level and second level hotels and company values.

This study addresses one of the curent issues in modern finance, which investigates financial profile on the levels of the chaebol firms' cash hoardings in the domestic capital market. Iit may be imperative to search for robust and consistent financial determinants of cash holdings as well as identifying any changes or trend of the determinants affecting the corporate cash reserves in the post-era of the global financial turmoil, considering that interest parties at the government and corporate levels, still seem to have a controversy or debate on excess cash savings. Two hypotheses were postulated and empirically tested for the chaebol firms in the study, such as any transitional changes of the relevant factors on cash holdings and unique attributes of financial factors discriminating between the different type of domestic stock markets.

본 연구에서는 건설업종에 특화된 신용평가 모형을 개발하여 건설업종에 대한 부도 예측력를 제고하고자 하였다. 건설업은 여타 업종과는 다른 재무적 특성을 지니고 있다. 특히, 재무적 안정성이 취약하고 자산의 대부분이 매출채권, 재고자산으로 구성되어 유동성이 극히 낮은 실정이다. 본 연구는 이러한 건설업종의 특성을 충분히 감안한 신용평가 모형을 개발하고자 한것이다. 신용평가 모형 중 그 현실적 유용성이 높아 많이 이용되어 오던 신용평점 모형을 개발하였다. 총 2,475개 건설업체를 대상으로 모형구조 및 각종 계량지표 및 비계량지표에 대한 분석을 주로 평균차이 검증과 로짓분석에 의거 선정하였다. 그 결과 새로운 신용평점 모형은 매출액 경상이익률, 총 현금흐름 대 차입금 비율 등 9개의 재무지표와 5분류의 비재무지표로 구성되었다. 이 모형을 기존의 신용평점모형과 비교한 결과 신규모형의 변별력이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구가 제시한 신용평점모형과 그 개발 방법이 향후 금융기관들의 부실을 줄이고 결과적으로 수익성을 개선하는데 일조하리라 기대된다.

최근 들어 기술벤처기업에 대한 투자가 증가하고, 이를 위한 기술신용평가의 역할이 증대하였다. 그러나 금융권에서 바라보는 기술신용평가의 경우, 해당 기업의 신용등급이나 기술(력) 등급평가에 초점을 두어, 대상기술의 사업화 및 수익성 관점을 체계적으로 반영하지 못하는 한계를 지닌다. 따라서, 벤처캐피털(VC)이나 엔젤투자자를 비롯한 금융권에서 대상기술의 수익성 정보를 참조하거나 기술벤처기업 설립시 기술지분을 참고하는 등, 기존 기술이전거래 협상참조용이나 담보 보증용에 널리 이용되던 기술가치평가의 활용범위가 급격히 확대되고 있다. 제조 서비스 분야의 일반 기술 뿐만이 아니라, 바이오 제약 의료 분야 기술에서도 미래 투입되어야 하는 사업화 소요기간 및 비용을 고려하여 기술가치를 산정해야 할 때가 있다. 기존의 현금흐름할인법(DCF법)이 연속된 투자에 대한 고려를 못하거나 기술적용 제품의 상용화 투입비용에 대한 확률적인 속성을 반영하지 못하는 등 한계점을 지니고 있다. 그러나 기술과 투자의 가치는 기회가치로 보고 자원배분을 위한 의사결정 정보를 감안해야 하므로, 실물옵션의 개념을 적용하는 것이 바람직하다고 여겨진다. 흔히 기업가치를 평가할 때 주가의 변동성(volatility) 개념을 도입하여 전일종가 대비 익일시가의 분산값을 활용하기도 한다. 이러한 개념을 기술가치평가에 적용하기 위해서는 '주가의 연속성(상대적 미세한 변화)' 및 '양(+)의 조건'을 고려해야 하는데, 실제 기술가치평가 상의 현금흐름은 사업초기년도 음(-)의 값이 나타나거나 2~3년 내외의 짧은 수익예상기간 하에서는 주가와 같은 변동성을 도출하는데 무리가 있다. 따라서 많은 문헌에서 연구된 바와 같이, 실물옵션 기반의 기술가치 산정을 위한 블랙-숄즈 모형에서 변동성과 기초자산가치, 그리고 사업화비용 간의 관계를 살펴볼 필요가 있다. 아울러 옵션가격결정모형(Option Pricing Model)에서 불확실성을 반영한 기초자산의 현재가치와 사업화비용의 현재가치분이 특정 임계조건 하에서 '옵션행사 포기(NAT; no action taken)' 영역으로 구분되는 지를 수학적으로 도출하고 관찰변수(입력값)에 따른 옵션가치 산출표를 개발하여 제시한다.
