All rights reserved. 8-4 The Capital Budgeting Decision Process Capital Budgeting is the process of identifying, evaluating, and implementing a firms investment opportunities. It seeks to identify investments that will enhance a firms competitive advantage and increase shareholder wealth. The typical capital budgeting decision involves a large up-front investment followed by a series of smaller cash inflows. Poor capital budgeting decisions can ultimately result in company bankruptcy.

All rights reserved. 8-7 Basic Terminology: Independent versus Mutually Exclusive Projects Independent Projects, on the other hand, do not compete with the firms resources. A company can select one, or the other, or bothso long as they meet minimum profitability thresholds. Mutually Exclusive Projects are investments that compete in some way for a companys resourcesa firm can select one or another but not both.

All rights reserved. 8-8 Basic Terminology: Unlimited Funds versus Capital Rationing If the firm has unlimited funds for making investments, then all independent projects that provide returns greater than some specified level can be accepted and implemented. However, in most cases firms face capital rationing restrictions since they only have a given amount of funds to invest in potential investment projects at any given time.

All rights reserved. 8-9 Basic Terminology: Accept-Reject versus Ranking Approaches The accept-reject approach involves the evaluation of capital expenditure proposals to determine whether they meet the firms minimum acceptance criteria. The ranking approach involves the ranking of capital expenditures on the basis of some predetermined measure, such as the rate of return.

The Relevant Cash Flows Incremental cash flows: –are cash flows specifically associated with the investment, and –their effect on the firms other investments (both positive and negative) must also be considered.

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved Relevant Cash Flows: Expansion Versus Replacement Decisions Estimating incremental cash flows is relatively straightforward in the case of expansion projects, but not so in the case of replacement projects. With replacement projects, incremental cash flows must be computed by subtracting existing project cash flows from those expected from the new project.

However, opportunity costs, which are cash flows that could be realized from the best alternative use of the asset, are relevant.

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved Book Value = $100,000 - $52,000 = $48,000 Hudson Industries, a small electronics company, 2 years ago acquired a machine tool with an installed cost of $100,000. The asset was being depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year recovery period. Thus 52% of the cost (20% + 32%) would represent accumulated depreciation at the end of year two. Finding the Initial Investment (cont.)

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved If Hudson sells the old asset for $110,000, it realizes a gain of $62,000 ($110,000 - $48,000). Technically, the difference between the cost and book value ($52,000) is called recaptured depreciation and the difference between the sales price and purchase price ($10,000) is called a capital gain. Under current corporate tax laws, the firm must pay taxes on both the gain and recaptured depreciation at its marginal tax rate. Finding the Initial Investment Sale of the Asset for More Than Its Purchase Price

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved If Hudson sells the old asset for $70,000, it realizes a gain in the form of recaptured depreciation of $22,000 ($70,000–$48,000) which is taxed at the firms marginal tax rate. Finding the Initial Investment (cont.) Sale of the Asset for More Than Its Book Value but Less than Its Purchase Price

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved If Hudson sells the old asset for its book value of $48,000, there is no gain or loss and therefore no tax implications from the sale. Finding the Initial Investment (cont.) Sale of the Asset for Its Book Value

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved If Hudson sells the old asset for $30,000 which is less than its book value of $48,000, it experiences a loss of $18,000 ($48,000 - $30,000). If this is a depreciable asset used in the business, the loss may be used to offset ordinary operating income. If it is not depreciable or used in the business, the loss can only e used to offset capital gains. Finding the Initial Investment (cont.) Sale of the Asset for Less Than Its Book Value

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved Powell Corporation, a large diversified manufacturer of aircraft components, is trying to determine the initial investment required to replace an old machine with a new, more sophisticated model. The machines purchase price is $380,000 and an additional $20,000 will be necessary to install it. It will be depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year recovery period. The firm has found a buyer willing to pay $280,000 for the present machine and remove it at the buyers expense. The firm expects that a $35,000 increase in current assets and an $18,000 increase in current liabilities will accompany the replacement. Both ordinary income and capital gains are taxed at 40%.

All rights reserved Powell Corporations estimates of its revenues and expenses (excluding depreciation and interest), with and without the new machine described in the preceding example, are given in Table 8.5. Note that both the expected usable life of the proposed machine and the remaining usable life of the existing machine are 5 years. The amount to be depreciated with the proposed machine is calculated by summing the purchase price of $380,000 and the installation costs of $20,000. Finding the Operating Cash Inflows

The old machine can be liquidated at the end of the 5 years to net $10,000. The firm expects to recover its $17,000 net working capital investment upon termination of the project.
