ObjectivesObjectives

23-4 Capital investment decisions are concerned with the process of planning, setting goals and priorities, arranging financing, and using certain criteria to select long-term assets.

23-5 Capital Budgeting Capital budgeting is the process of making capital investment decisions. Two types of capital budgeting projects: Projects that, if accepted or rejected, will not affect the cash flows of another project. Projects that, if accepted, preclude the acceptance of competing projects. Independent Projects Mutually Exclusive Projects

23-6 Year Beginning of year Annual Cash Flow Unrecovered Investment Unrecovered Investment 1$200,000$60, ,00080, ,000100, , ,000 $60,000 was needed in Year 3 to recover the investment. Payback Period Payback period = Original investment/Annual cash flow

23-7 The payback period provides information to managers that can be used as follows: To help control the risks associated with the uncertainty of future cash flows. To help minimize the impact of an investment on a firm’s liquidity problems. To help control the risk of obsolescence. To help control the effect of the investment on performance measures. Payback Period

23-8  Ignores the time value of money  Ignores the performance of the investment beyond the payback period Deficiency Payback Period

23-9 Accounting Rate Of Return (ARR) ARR = Average income ÷ Original investment or Average investment Average investment = (I + S)/2 I = the original investment S = salvage value Assume that the investment is uniformly consumed I = the original investment S = salvage value Assume that the investment is uniformly consumed Average annual net cash flows, less average depreciation

23-10 Accounting Rate Of Return (ARR) The major deficiency of the accounting rate of return is that it ignores the time value of money.

23-11 NPV = P – I where: P= the present value of the project’s future cash inflows I =the present value of the project’s cost (usually the initial outlay) Net present value is the difference between the present value of the cash inflows and outflows associated with a project. The Net Present Value Method

23-12 Polson Company has developed a new cell phone that is expected to generate an annual revenue of $750,000. Necessary production equipment would cost $800,000 and can be sold in five years for $100,000. The Net Present Value Method

23-13 The Net Present Value Method In addition, working capital is expected to increase by $100,000 and is expected to be recovered at the end of five years. Annual operating expenses are expected to be $450,000. The required rate of return is 12 percent.

23-14 Step 1. Cash Flow Identification Year Item Cash Flow 0Equipment$-800,000 Working capital -100,000 Total$-900, Revenues$ 750,000 Operating expenses -450,000 Total$ 300,000 5Revenues$ 750,000 Operating expenses-450,000 Salvage100,000 Recovery of working capital 100,000 Total$ 500,000

23-16 If NPV > 0, this indicates: 1. The initial investment has been recovered 2. The required rate of return has been recovered Thus, Polson should manufacture the cell phones The Net Present Value Method Decision Criteria for NPV

23-17 Reinvestment Assumption The NVP model assumes that all cash flows generated by a project are immediately reinvested to earn the required rate of return throughout the life of the project. The Net Present Value Method

23-18 The internal rate of return (IRR) is the interest rate that sets the project’s NPV at zero. Thus, P = I for the IRR. Example:A project requires a $10,000 investment and will return $12,000 after one year. What is the IRR? $12,000/(1 + i) = $10, i = 1.2 i = 0.20 Internal Rate of Return

23-19 Internal Rate of Return If the IRR > Cost of Capital, the project should be accepted. If the IRR = Cost of Capital, acceptance or rejection is equal. If the IRR < Cost of Capital, the project should be rejected. Decision Criteria:

23-20 NPV Compared With IRR There are two major differences between net present value and the internal rate of return:  NPV assumes cash inflows are reinvested at the required rate of return, whereas the IRR method assumes that the inflows are reinvested at the internal rate of return.  NPV measures the profitability of a project in absolute dollars, whereas the IRR method measures it as a percentage.

23-30 After-Tax Cash Flows Lewis Company uses two types of manufacturing equipment (M1 and M2) to produce one of its products. It is now possible to replace these two machines with a flexible manufacturing system. Management wants to know the net investment needed to acquire the flexible equipment. If the system is acquired, the old equipment will be sold.

23-34 After-Tax Operating Cash Flows: Life of the Project After-tax cash flow =After-tax net income + Noncash expenses CF =NI + NC A company plans to make a new product that requires new equipment costing $1,600,000. The new product is expected to increase the firm’s annual revenue by $1,200,000. Materials, labor, etc. will be $500,000 per year.

23-35 After-Tax Operating Cash Flows: Life of the Project Revenues$1,200,000 Less: Cash operating expenses-500,000 Depreciation (straight-line) -400,000 Income before income taxes$ 300,000 Less: Income taxes 40%) 120,000 Net income$ 180,000

23-36 After-Tax Operating Cash Flows: Life of the Project Cash flow = [(1– Tax rate) x Revenues] – [(1– Tax rate) x Cash expenses] + (Tax rate x Noncash expenses) After-tax revenues$720,000 After-tax cash expenses-300,000 Depreciation tax shield 160,000 Operating cash flow$580,000

23-37 The tax laws classify most assets into the following three classes (class = allowable years): ClassTypes of Assets 3Most small tools 5Cars, light trucks, computer equipment 7Machinery, office equipment Assets in any of the three classes can be depreciated using either straight-line or MACRS (Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System) with a half-year convention. MACRS Depreciation Rates

23-38 MACRS Depreciation Rates  Half the depreciation for the first year can be claimed regardless of when the asset is actually placed in service.  The other half year of depreciation is claimed in the year following the end of the asset’s class life.  If the asset is disposed of before the end of its class life, only half of the depreciation for that year can be claimed.

23-39 Example An automobile is purchased on March 1, 2003 at a cost of $30,000. The firm elects the straight-line method for tax purposes. Automobiles are five-year assets. The annual depreciation is $6,000 ($30,000 ÷ 5). However, due to the half-year convention, only $3,000 can be deducted in 2003.

23-40 Year S/L Depreciation Deduction 2003$3,000(half-year amount) 20046, , , , ,000(half-year amount) Assume that the asset is disposed of in April Only $3,000 of depreciation can be claimed for 2005 (early disposal rule). Example

23-46 How Estimates of Operating Cash Flows Differ A company is evaluating a potential investment in a flexible manufacturing system (FMS). The choice is to continue producing with its traditional equipment, expected to last 10 years, or to switch to the new system, which is also expected to have a useful life of 10 years. The company’s discount rate is 12 percent. Present value ($4,000,000 x 5.65)$22,600,000 Investment 18,000,000 Net present value$ 4,600,000

23-47 FMS STATUS QUO FMS STATUS QUO Investment (current outlay): Direct costs$10,000, Software, engineering 8,000, Total current outlay$18,000,000 Net after-tax cash flow$ 5,000,000$1,000,000 Less: After-tax cash flow for status quo 1,000,000n/a Incremental benefit$ 4,000,000n/a How Estimates of Operating Cash Flows Differ

23-49 Future Value: Time Value of Money Let: F=future value i=the interest rate P=the present value or original outlay n=the number or periods Future value can be expressed by the following formula: F = P(1 + i) n

23-50 Assume the investment is $1,000. The interest rate is 8%. What is the future value if the money is invested for one year? Two? Three? Future Value: Time Value of Money

23-51 F=$1,000(1.08)=$1, (after one year) F=$1,000(1.08) 2 =$1, (after two years) F=$1,000(1.08) 3 =$1, (after three years) Future Value: Time Value of Money

23-52 Present Value P = F/(1 + i) n The discount factor, 1/(1 + i), is computed for various combinations of I and n. Example: Compute the present value of $300 to be received three years from now. The interest rate is 12%. Answer: From Exhibit 23B-1, the discount factor is Thus, the present value (P) is: P=F(df) =$300 x =$213.60

23-53 Answer: DiscountPresent YearCashFactorValue 1$ $ *$ Present Value * Notice that it is possible to multiply the sum of the individual discount factors (.40) by $100 to obtain the same answer. See Exhibit 23B-2 for these sums which can be used as discount factors for uniform series. Example: Calculate the present value of a $100 per year annuity, to be received for the next three years. The interest rate is 12%.
