Part 5 Chapter 20 The valuation of a project under different financing strategies. Marc B.J. Schauten

Example Consider a project to produce product SMART. I = Cash flow is $ 1600 pre-tax per year for 5 years. R U = 10%. Tax rate = 35%. NPV base case = -I +  [EBIT x (1-  C )] /(1+R U ) t NPV base case = -I +  [EBIT x (1-  C )] /(1+R U ) t = = -58

Financing rule 1: Equal principal repayments Suppose that because of the value of the expected CF’s of this project, the firm can borrow 2000 more, the loan is repaid in equal installments during 5 years and R d = 8%. Question: PV tax shield? APV = = 83 > 0!

Financing rule 2: Balloon repayment Suppose that because of the value of the expected CF’s of this project, the firm can borrow 2000 more, the loan is repaid at the end of year 5 and R d = 8%. Question: PV tax shield? APV = = > 0!

Financing rule 3: Target capital structure Assume that the project will be financed for 50% with debt, Rd = 8%. Use the WACC MM? Assumptions (a.o.) of WACC MM: -PVTS = tc D Alternatives are: 3a) Miles Ezzell WACC and 3b) Harris Pringle / Ruback WACC Ad 3a) Assumptions WACC Miles Ezzell: -debt as a proportion of the total market value is remains constant during the life of the project; -the project generates stable/unstable CFs that could be finite and/or variable. -ME do not discount the tax shield with R D only. As long as future tax shields are tied to uncertain future cash flows, discount with R u.
