    What is capital budgeting?

    Plan and manage capitalexpenditures for long-lived assets.

    Analysis of potential projects.

    Long-term decisions.

    Involve large commitments.

    Very important to firms future.

    Steps in Capital Budgeting

    Estimate cash flows (inflows &outflows).

    Assess risk ofcash flows.

    Determine r = WACC for project.

    Evaluate cash flows.

    Independent versus MutuallyExclusive Projects

    Projects are:

    independent, if the cash flows of oneare unaffected by the acceptance ofthe other. Projects stand on their own.

    mutually exclusive, if the cash flows of

    onecan be adversely impa

    cted by t

    heacceptance of the other. All other

    alternatives are automatically deletedonce a project is choice.

    Rationale for the NPVMethod

    NPV = PV inflows Cost

    This is net gain in wealth in dollar

    terms ($), so accept project only ifNPV > 0.

    Choose between mutually exclusive

    projects on basis of

    higher NPV.Adds most value.

    NPV > 0 implies EVA > 0 and MVA> 0.

    Using NPV method, which project(s)should be accepted?

    If Project S and Project L aremutually exclusive, accept S

    because NPVs > NPVL .

    If S & L are independent, acceptboth because NPV > 0.

    Rationale for the IRR Method

    If IRR > WACC, then the projectsrate of return is greater than its cost

    adding extra values to stockholders.Accept the project.

    IRR is internal to the project anddoes not depend on the marketinterest rate.

    Given in %, IRR provides an easymeasure of profitability.

    Decisions on Project S andProject L using IRR

    If S and L are independent, acceptboth: IRRS > rWACC and IRRL >

    rWACC

    If S and L are mutually exclusive,

    accept S because IRRS > IRRLgiven IRRS > rWACC . Otherwise,reject both. Cost must be justified.

    To Find the Crossover Rate

    Find cash flow differences between theprojects. See data at beginning of thecase. Enter these differences in cash flow

    register, then press IRR. Crossover rate= 8.68%, rounded to 8.7%

    Can subtract S from L or vi

    ce versa, buteasier to have first CF negative.

    If profiles dont cross, one projectdominates the other.

    Two Reasons NPV Profiles Cross

    Size (scale) differences. Smaller projectfrees up funds at t = 0 for investment.

    The higher the opportunity cost, themore valuable these funds, so high rfavours small projects.

    Timing differences. Project with faster

    payback provides more CF in early yearsfor reinvestment. If r is high, early CFespecially good, NPVS > NPVL

    Reinvestment RateAssumptions

    NPV assumes reinvest at r(opportunity cost ofcapital, WACC).

    IRR assumes reinvest at IRR.

    Reinvest at opportunity cost, r, ismore realistic, so NPV method is

    best. NPV should be used tochoose between mutually exclusiveprojects if a conflict exists.

    Normal vs. Nonnormal Cash Flows

    Normal Cash Flow Project:

    Cost (negative CF) followed by a series ofpositive cash inflows.

    One change of signs.

    Nonnormal Cash Flow Project:

    Two or more changes of signs.

    Mostcommon: Cost (negative CF), t

    henstring of positive CFs, then cost to close

    project.

    For example, nuclear power plant or stripmine.

    Logic of Multiple IRRs

    At very low discount rates, the PVof CF2 is large & negative, so NPV

    < 0 At very high discount rates, the PV

    of both CF1 and CF2 are low, soCF0 dominates and again NPV < 0

    In between, the discount rate hitsCF2 harder than CF1, so NPV > 0

    Result: 2 IRRs

    1. Enter CFs as before.

    2. Enter a guess as to IRR by

    storing the guess. Try 10%:10 STO

    IRR = 25% = lower IRR

    3. Now guess large IRR, say, 200:

    200 STO

    IRR = 400% = upper IRR

    Why use MIRR versus IRR?

    MIRR also avoids the problem ofmultiple IRRs.

    MIRR correctly assumesreinvestment at opportunity cost =WACC.

    Managers like using rates of returnforcomparisons, and MIRR isbetter for this than IRR.

    Modified Internal Rate ofReturn (MIRR)

    MIRR is the discount rate whichcausesthe PV of a projects terminal value (TV)

    to equal the PV ofcosts. TV is found by compounding inflows at

    WACC.

    MIRR assumes cash inflows are

    reinvested at WACC which is reasonable

    MIRR is unique.

    Accept the project if MIRR > rWACC.

    MIRR calculator solution:Step 1 - find PV of Inflows

    First, entercash inflows in the financialcalculator register:

    CF0 = 0, CF1 = 10, CF2 = 60, CF3 = 80

    Second, enter I = 10

    Third, find PV of inflows:

    Press NPV = 118.78

    CH10

    Copyright 2011 by Nelson Education Ltd. All rights reserved. 10-38

    Step 2 - find TV of inflows

    Enter PV = -118.78, N = 3, I = 10,PMT = 0.

    Press FV = 158.10 = FV of inflows.

    Copyright 2011 by Nelson Education Ltd. All rights reserved. 10-39

    Step 3 - find PV of outflows

    For this problem, there is only oneoutflow, CF0 = -100, so the PV of

    outflows is -100 For other problems there may be

    negative cash flows for several

    years, and you must find thepresent value for all negative cashflows.

    Step 4 - find IRR of TV ofinflows and PV of outflows

    Enter FV = 158.10, PV = -100, PMT= 0, N = 3

    Copyright 2011 by Nelson Education Ltd. All rights reserved. 10-42

    Should this Project beaccepted?

    NO. Reject because MIRR = 5.6%< r = 10%

    Also, if MIRR < r, NPV will benegative: NPV = -$386,777

    Profitability Index

    The profitability index (PI) is thepresent value of future cash flows

    divided by the initial cost. PI is the scale-version of NPV.

    It measures the bang for the buck.

    To accept a project, PI > 1.

    PI > 1 is equivalent to NPV > 0.

    Payback Methods

    Payback period is the number ofyears required to recover a projects

    cost, orhow long it takes to get thebusinesss money back.

    Firms establish a benchmark

    payback period; projects whosepayback exceeds this benchmarkare rejected.

    Strengths and Weaknessesof Payback

    Strengths:

    Provides an indication of a projects

    risk and liquidity. Easy to calculate and understand.

    Weaknesses:

    Ignores the time value of money. Ignores CFs occurring after the

    payback period.

    Capital Budgeting Process:

    Conclusion

    Quantitative methods provide valuableinformation, but they should not be used

    as the sole criteria for accept/rejectdecisions in capital budgeting process

    NPV is the single most important methodshowing the absolute profitability

    IRR is ranked second of importance

    Payback is still used significantly amongsmall businesses

    Equivalent Annual AnnuityApproach (EAA)

    Convert the PV into a stream ofannuity payments with the same

    PV. S: N=2, I/YR=10, PV=-4.132, FV =

    0. Solve for PMT = EAAS = $2.38

    L: N=4, I/YR=10, PV=-6.190, FV =0. Solve for PMT = EAAL = $1.95

    S has higher EAA, so it is a betterproject.

    Economic Life versusPhysical Life

    Projects are normally analyzedunder the assumption that the firm

    will operate the asset till its end. Consider a project with a 3-year life.

    If terminated prior to Year 3, themachinery will have positivesalvage value.

    Should you always operate for thefull physical life?

    NPVs under alternative lives:

    NPV(3) @10% = -$14.12

    NPV(2) @10% = $34.71

    NPV(1) @10% = -$254.55

    The project is acceptable only if

    operated for 2 years. A projects engineering life does not

    always equal its economic life.

    Optimal Capital Budget

    Finance theory says to accept allpositive NPV projects.

    Two problems can occur whenthere is not enough internallygenerated cash to fund all positive

    NPV projects: An increasing marginal cost ofcapital.

    Capital rationing.

    Increasing Marginal Cost of Capital

    Externally raised capital can have largeflotation costs, which increase the cost of

    capital. Investors often perceive large capital

    budgets as being risky, which drives up thecost ofcapital.

    If external funds will be raised, then theNPV of all projects should be estimatedusing this higher marginal cost ofcapital.

    Capital Rationing

    Capital rationing occurs when acompany chooses not to fund all

    positive NPV projects. The company typically sets an

    upper limit on the total amount of

    capital expenditures that it willmake in the upcoming year.

    Reason: Reluctance to issue newstock. Firms want to avoid the direct

    costs (i.e., flotation costs) and theindirect costs of issuing new capital.

    Solution: Increase the cost ofcapital by enough to reflect all ofthese costs, and then accept allprojects that still have a positiveNPV with the highercost ofcapital.

    Reason: Constraints onnonmonetary resources. Firms do

    not have enough managerial,marketing, or engineering staff toimplement all positive NPV projects.

    Solution: Use linear programmingto maximize NPV subject to notexceeding the constraints onstaffing.

    CH10

    Reason: Controlling estimate bias. Firmsbelieve that the projects managers

    forecast unreasonably highcash flowestimates, so companies filter out theworst projects by limiting the totalamount of projects that can be accepted.

    Solution: Implement a post-auditprocess and tie the managerscompensation to the subsequentperformance of the project.
