Capital Investment Decisions 1

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.

20-3
Capital Investment Decisions 1

Capital budgeting is the process of making capital investment


decisions.
Two types of capital budgeting projects:

Projects that, if accepted or


Independent rejected, will not affect the
Projects cash flows of another
project.

Mutually Projects that, if accepted,


Exclusive preclude the acceptance of
Projects competing projects.

Payback and Accounting Rate of Return:
Nondiscounting Methods 2
Payback Analysis

*At the beginning of Year 3, $60,000 is needed to


recover the investment. Since a net cash inflow of
$100,000 is expected, only 0.6 year
($60,000/$100,000) is needed to recover the
$60,000. Thus, the payback period is 2.6 years (2
+ 0.6).

20-5
Payback and Accounting Rate of Return:
Nondiscounting Methods 2
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.

Deficiencies of the payback period:


 Ignores the time value of money
 Ignores the performance of the investment beyond the
payback period
20-6
Payback and Accounting Rate of Return:
Nondiscounting Methods 2
Accounting Rate Of Return (ARR)

ARR = Average income ÷ Original investment or


Average investment

Average annual net


cash flows, less Average investment =
average depreciation (I + S)/2

I = the original investment


S = salvage value
Assume that the investment
is uniformly consumed
20-7
Payback and Accounting Rate of Return:
Nondiscounting Methods 2
Accounting Rate Of Return (ARR)
The major deficiency of the accounting rate of
return is that it ignores the time value of money.

20-8
The Net Present Value Method 3
Net present value is the difference between the
present value of the cash inflows and outflows
associated with a project.
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)

20-9
The Net Present Value Method 3

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.

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.

The Net Present Value Method 3

Decision Criteria for NPV

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.

20-13
The Net Present Value Method 3

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.

20-14
Internal Rate of Return 4

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 $240,000


investment and will return $99,900 at
the end of each of the next three
years. What is the IRR?

$240,000 = $99,900(df)
$240,000 / $99,400 = 2.402
i = 12%

20-15
Internal Rate of Return 4

Decision Criteria:
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.

20-16
NPV versus IRR: Mutually
Exclusive Projects 5

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.

After-Tax Operating Cash Flows: Life of the Project

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.

The income statement for the project is as follows:

Revenues $1,200,000
Less: Cash operating expenses -500,000
Depreciation (straight-line) -400,000
Income before income taxes $ 300,000

MACRS Depreciation Rates
The tax laws classify most assets into the following three
classes (class = allowable years):
Class Types of Assets
3 Most small tools
5 Cars, light trucks, computer equipment
7 Machinery, 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.

20-31
Computing After-Tax Cash Flows 6
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.

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 Concepts A

Future Value
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

20-37
Present Value Concepts A

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?

20-38
Present Value Concepts A

Future Value
F = $1,000(1.08) = $1,080.00 (after one year)
F = $1,000(1.08)2 = $1,166.40 (after two years)
F = $1,000(1.08)3 = $1,259.71 (after three years)

20-39
Present Value Concepts A

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 0.712.
Thus, the present value (P) is:
P = F(df)
= $300 x 0.712
= $213.60
