Drake DRAKE UNIVERSITY Fin 200 NPV IRR and Capital Budgeting

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Capital Budgeting Expenditures on projects that have a life greater than one year Long - Term Plans and lost flexibility

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Independent Projects Two projects are considered independent if undertaking one of them does not prevent us from considering the other The main question we will ask is whether or not a project is “acceptable.”

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Mutually Exclusive Projects Two projects are considered to be mutually exclusive when undertaking one project will preclude the other from being accepted. The criteria that causes this should be something other than cost. Ranking Mutually Exclusive Projects need accept / reject then rank the projects Timing of Cash Flows, Size of competing investments, Scarce Resources

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Project Valuation vs.. Security Valuation Estimate the future cash flows Determine the appropriate interest rate Find the PV of the positive cash flows Compare the PV to the cost

Drake Drake University Fin 200 What Cash Flow? The incremental changes to cash flow that result from the project.

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Incremental Cash Flow Cash flow changes that result from a particular project Relevant Cash Outflows Increase Cash outflow Elimination of cash inflow Investment in Assets Relevant Cash Inflow Increase in cash inflow Elimination of cash outflow Liquidation of assets

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Net Present Value The sum of the PV of the positive cash flows minus the PV of negative cash flows and the initial cost or

Drake Drake University Fin 200 NPV Accept or Reject If the NPV is positive the PV of the benefits is greater than the PV of the cost -- You should accept the project (The value of the firm will increase if the project is accepted) If the NPV is negative, The PV of the benefits is less than the PV of the cost -- You should reject the project (The value of the firm would decrease if the project is accepted)

Drake Drake University Fin 200 The Required Return What interest rate should be used to discount the cash flows? The project cost of capital WHY?

Drake Drake University Fin 200 NPV Note, as in the case of our bond and stock valuation models there will be an inverse relationship between the required return and the NPV. A lower Cost of Capital increases the NPV of the project (And the value of the firm)

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Special Case What if the project is expected to return cash flows that grow at a constant rate forever and the only outlay is at the beginning of the project? Use the constant growth formula (Stock Valuation)

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Internal Rate of Return The IRR is the required return that makes the NPV of a project equal to zero. If IRR is greater than the hurdle rate (the project cost of capital) Accept the project IF IRR is less than the hurdle rate (the project cost of capital) Reject the project

Drake Drake University Fin 200 IRR and NPV IRR and NPV will always provide the same accept / reject decision WHY???? IRR is the rate that makes NPV zero If: Project cost of capital < IRR accept the project, this also implies a positive NPV (inverse relationship) If Project Cost of Capital > IRR reject the project, this also implies a negative NPV

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Multiple IRR’s Time Cash Flow IRR = 7.4% and 67.6% Time Cash Flow IRR = 7.4% and 67.6% 2180

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Multiple IRR’s vs. NPV Time Cash Flow % = $ Time Cash Flow % = -$3 2180

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Multiple IRR’s An easy check for Multiple IRR’s Mathematically the largest number of IRR’s that is possible equals the number of sign changes in the cash flow stream

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Modified IRR The discount rate that makes the PV of the projects costs equal the PV of the terminal value of the project Terminal Value = the FV of the positive Cash flows compounded at the cost of capital

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Example Cost of Capital = 10% TimeCash Flow PV FV , , = /(1+MIRR) 4 MIRR = 10.34%

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Payback Period Intuition: Measures length of time it takes for the firm to payback the original investment. Simple example: Cost = 100,000 Cash Flow = 20,000 a year Payback = Cost / Cash Flows = 100,000 / 20,000 = 5 years

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Payback Period Most problems do not work out even…. You need to look at the cumulative cash flow and compare to the initial cost.

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Calculating Payback Period  Calculate the cumulative cash flow (total cash flow received)  Calculate the Remaining Cost (Total Cost - Cumulative Cash Flow)  Repeat 1 and 2 until remaining cost is less than zero  In last positive year divide remaining cash flow by yearly cash flow in next year  Calculate total payback

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Payback Period Weaknesses Ignores Time Value of Money Ignores all cash flows after the payback

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Discounted Payback Period Attempts to account for time value of money by evaluating the yearly cash flows in their present value.

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Calculating Discounted Payback Period  Calculate the PV of each cash flow  Calculate the cumulative present value of the cash flow s(total cash flow received)  Calculate the Remaining Cost (Total Cost - Cumulative PV Cash Flow)  Repeat 1 and 2 until remaining cost is less than zero  In last positive year divide remaining cash flow by yearly cash flow in next year  Calculate total payback

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Discounted Payback Weakness: Still ignores cash flows after payback Strengths: Accounts for time value of money, easy to understand and calculate, risk measure Accept / Reject -- Set Minimum payback and compare

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Profitability Index Measures the value created per dollar invested

Drake Drake University Fin 200 PI If the PI is greater than 1 accept the project (NPV is positive) If the PI is less than 1 reject the project (NPV is negative) If PI = 1.45 it would imply that the project will produce $1.45 for each $1 invested.

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Modified PI The basic PI does not account for the possible future costs, modified PI attempts to do this:

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Modified PI Same Accept Reject decision as regular PI

Drake Drake University Fin 200 Mutually Exclusive NPV provides the best ranking when comparing between mutually exclusive investments, The rest can produce inconsistent rankings
