1 Making Investment Decisions with the Net Present Value Rule Chapter 6

2 Topics Covered  What To Discount  IM&C Project  Project Interaction  Equivalent Annual Cost  Replacement  Project Interaction  Timing  Fluctuating Load Factors

3 What To Discount Only Cash Flow is Relevant

4 What To Discount  Do not confuse average with incremental payoffs  Include all incidental effects  Do not forget working capital requirements  Forget sunk costs  Include opportunity costs  Beware of allocated overhead costs Points to “Watch Out For”

5  Be consistent in how you handle inflation!!  Use nominal interest rates to discount nominal cash flows.  Use real interest rates to discount real cash flows.  You will get the same results, whether you use nominal or real figures Inflation INFLATION RULE

6 Inflation Example You own a lease that will cost you $8,000 next year, increasing at 3% a year (the forecasted inflation rate) for 3 additional years (4 years total). If discount rates are 10% what is the present value cost of the lease?

7 Inflation Example - nominal figures

8 Inflation Example - real figures

9 IM&C’s Guano Project Revised projections ($1000s) reflecting inflation

10 IM&C’s Guano Project  NPV using nominal cash flows

11 IM&C’s Guano Project Cash flow analysis ($1000s)

12 IM&C’s Guano Project Details of cash flow forecast in year 3 ($1000s)

13 IM&C’s Guano Project Tax depreciation allowed under the modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) (Figures in percent of depreciable investment)

14 IM&C’s Guano Project Tax Payments ($1000s)

15 IM&C’s Guano Project Revised cash flow analysis ($1000s)

16 Equivalent Annual Cost Equivalent Annual Cost - The cost per period with the same present value as the cost of buying and operating a machine.

17 Equivalent Annual Cost Equivalent Annual Cost - The cost per period with the same present value as the cost of buying and operating a machine.

18 Example Given the following costs of operating two machines and a 6% cost of capital, select the lower cost machine using equivalent annual cost method. Year Machine1234PV@6%EAC A1555528.3710.61 B106621.0011.45 Equivalent Annual Cost

19 Timing  Even projects with positive NPV may be more valuable if deferred.  The actual NPV is then the current value of some future value of the deferred project.

20 Timing Example You may harvest a set of trees at anytime over the next 5 years. Given the FV of delaying the harvest, which harvest date maximizes current NPV?

21 Timing Example - continued You may harvest a set of trees at anytime over the next 5 years. Given the FV of delaying the harvest, which harvest date maximizes current NPV?
