Net Present Value
1) Identify base case and alternative
2) Identify all incremental cash flows (Be comprehensive!)
3) Where uncertain use expected values» Don’t bias your expectations to be “conservative”
4) Discount cash flow and sum to find net present value (NPV)
5) If NPV > 0, go ahead
6) Sensitivity Analysis

NPV - The Two-Period Case
Suppose you have a project which has:» An investment outlay of $100 in 1997 (period 0)» A safe return of $110 in 1998 (period 1)» Should you take it?
What is your alternative?» Put your money into a bank account at 6%, receive $106» Gain 4$ in terms of 1998 money
The project has a positive value!
12/20/96 5
Denote the 1997 and 1998 cash flows as follows:
CF0 = - 100 Cash outflow in period 0
CF1 = 110 Cash return in period 1
Your comparison is a rate of return r of 6% or r=0.06. You invest only if:
The NPV expresses the gain from the investment in 1998 dollars.

Computing NPVs
Example
Year 1997 1998 1998 2000
CF -100 -50 30 200
Use discount tables:
DF 1.000 0.909 0.826 0.751 Total
DCF -100.0 -45.5 24.8 150.3 = 29.6
Use spreadsheet:
On Lotus/Excel if data are in cells A2..D2, the function NPV (0.1, A2..D2) gives you the NPV in 1996
12/20/96 8
We showed that a project with a cash flow:
-100 -50 30 200
had an NPV of 29.6 @ 10%. So what? Suppose the only shareholder has a bank account where she
can borrow or deposit at 10%. Take on the project, draw out 29.6 and spend:
Why Use the NPV Rule?
Year 1997 1998 1999 2000Project Cash Flow -100.00 -50.00 30.00 200.00Loan Cash Flow 129.60 50.00 -30.00 -200.00Interest 0.00 12.96 19.26 18.18Balance of account -129.60 -192.56 -181.82 0.00Payment to shareholder 29.60 0.00 0.00 0.00
12/20/96 9
Net Present Value (NPV)
The NPV measures the amount by which the value of the firm’s stock will increase if the project is accepted.
NPV Rule:» Accept all projects for which NPV > 0.» Reject all projects for which NPV < 0.» For mutually exclusive projects, choose the project with the highest
NPV.

NPV Example
Consider a drug company with the opportunity to invest $100 million in the development of a new drug that is expected to generate $20 million in after-tax cash flows for the next 15 years. What is the NPV of this investment project if the required return is 10%? What if the required return is 20%?

Eurotunnel NPV
One of the largest commercial investment project’s in recent years is Eurotunnel’s construction of the Channel Tunnel linking France with the U.K.
The cash flows on the following page are based on the forecasts of construction costs and revenues that the company provided to investors in 1986.
Given the risk of the project, we assume a 13% discount rate.

Special Topics: ComparingProjects with Different Lives
Your firm must decide which of two machines it should use to produce its output.
Machine A costs $100,000, has a useful life of 4 years, and generates after-tax cash flows of $40,000 per year.
Machine B costs $65,000, has a useful life of 3 years, and generates after-tax cash flows of $35,000 per year.
The machine is needed indefinitely and the discount rate is rp = 10%.

Comparing Projects with Different Lives
The firm is indifferent between the project and the equivalent annual annuity.
Since the project is rolled over forever, the equivalent annual annuity lasts forever.
The project with the highest equivalent annual annuity offers the highest aggregate NPV over time.» Aggregate NPVA = $8,453/.10 = $84,530
» Aggregate NPVB = $8,863/.10 = $88,630

Special Topics: Replacing anOld Machine
The cost of the new machine is $20,000 (including delivery and installation costs) and its economic useful life is 3 years.
The existing machine will last at most 2 more years. The annual after-tax cash flows from each machine are given in the
following table. The discount rate is rp = 10%.

Replacing an Old Machine
The NPV of the new machine is equivalent to receiving $6,544 per year for 3 years.
Operate the old machine as long as its after-tax cash flows are greater than EANew = $6,544.
Old machine should be replaced after one more year of operation. How did we know that the new machine itself would not be replaced
early?

Internal Rate of Return
Method
Calculate the discount rate which makes the NPV zero» Question: How high could the cost of capital be, so that the
NPV of a project is still positive? The higher the IRR the better the project
Advantages
Calculation does not demand knowledge of the cost of capital Many people find it a more intuitive measure than NPV Usually gives the same signal as NPV
12/20/96 23
Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
The IRR is the discount rate, IRR, that makes NPV = 0.
IRR Rule for investment projects:» Accept project if IRR > rp.
» Reject project if IRR < rp.

IRR Example
Consider, once again, the drug company that has the opportunity to invest $100 million in the development of a new drug that will generate after-tax cash flows of $20 million per year for the next 15 years. What is the IRR of this investment?
The IRR makes NPV = 0.
Trial and error (or a financial calculator) gives IRR = 18.4%. Accept the project if rp < 18.4%.

Payback
Method
Calculate the time for cumulative cash flows to become positive The shorter the payback the better
Advantages
Does not demand input cost of capital Don’t need to be able to multiply Gives a feel for time at risk
12/20/96 32
Drawbacks Arbitrary Ranking. The following projects:
(A) -100 +90 +10 0 0
(B) -100 +10 +90 0 0
(C) -100 +10 +90 +100 +200
all look equally good
Better ways of coping with risk» if worried about eg confiscation, adjust cash flows (makes
you think about consequences)» if worried about risk, use higher discount factor» recognise time profile of risks
Not additive, hence combining projects gives different results.
12/20/96 33
Payback Example
Consider the following two investment projects. Assume that rp = 20%.
Which project is accepted if the payback period criteria is 2 years?

A -1,000 200 800 300 2.0 yrs. -104

Problems with Payback

Profitability Index
Profitability Index
PI = (I + NPV)/I = 1 + NPV/I Used when the firm (or division) has a limited amount of capital
to invest. Rank projects based upon their PIs. Invest in the projects with
the highest PIs until all capital is exhausted (provided PI > 1).
12/20/96 36
Profitability Index Example
Suppose your division has been given a capital budget of $6,000. Which projects do you choose?
Project I NPV PI
A 1,000 600 1.6
B 4,000 2,000 1.5
C 6,000 2,400 1.4
D 3,000 600 1.2
E 5,000 500 1.1
12/20/96 37
Profitability Index Example
Suppose your budget increases to $7,000. Choosing projects in decending order of PIs no longer
maximizes the aggreagate NPV. Projects A and C provide the highest aggregate NPV = $3,000
and stay within budget. Linear programming techniques can be used to solve large
capital allocation problems.
