Net present value and other investment criteria Chapter 8

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Key concepts and skills Understand: – the payback rule and its shortcomings – accounting rates of return and their problems – the internal rate of return and its strengths and weaknesses – the net present value rule and why it provides the best decision-making criteria – the modified internal rate of return – the profitability index and its relation to net present value 8-2

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Chapter outline Net present value The payback rule The average accounting return The internal rate of return The profitability index The practice of capital budgeting 8-3

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Capital budgeting Analysis of potential projects Long-term decisions Large expenditures Difficult/Impossible to reverse Determines firm’s strategic direction 8-4

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Good decision criteria We need to ask ourselves the following questions when evaluating decision criteria: – Does the decision rule adjust for the time value of money? – Does the decision rule adjust for risk? – Does the decision rule provide information on whether we are creating value for the firm? 8-5

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Net present value The difference between the market value of a project and its cost How much value is created from undertaking an investment? – Step 1: Estimate the expected future cash flows. – Step 2: Estimate the required return for projects of this risk level. – Step 3: Find the present value of the cash flows and subtract the initial investment to arrive at the net present value. 8-6

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Net present value Sum of the PVs of all cash flows Initial cost often is CF 0 and is an outflow 8-7 NPV = ∑ n t = 0 CF t (1 + R) t NPV = ∑ n t = 1 CF t (1 + R) t - CF 0 NOTE: t=0

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh NPV—Decision rule If NPV is positive, accept the project NPV > 0 means: – project is expected to add value to the firm – project will increase the wealth of the owners NPV is a direct measure of how well this project will achieve the goal of increasing shareholder wealth. 8-8

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Sample project data You are looking at a new project and have estimated the following cash flows, net income and book value data: – Year 0:CF = – Year 1:CF = NI = – Year 2:CF = NI = – Year 3:CF = NI = – Average book value = $ Your required return for assets of this risk is 12%. This project will be the example for all problem exhibits in this chapter. 8-9

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Computing NPV for the project Using the formula: NPV = /(1.12) /(1.12) /(1.12) /(1.12) 3 =

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Computing NPV for the project Using the TI BAII+ CF Worksheet 8-11 Cash flows: CF0= CF1= CF2= CF3= DisplayYou enter [CF] C [+/-][ENTER][ ] C [ENTER][ ] F01 1 [ENTER][ ] C [ENTER][ ] F021 [ENTER][ ] C [ENTER][ ] F031 [ENTER][ ] I12 [ENTER][ ] NPV[CPT]

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Calculating NPVs with a spreadsheet Spreadsheets are an excellent way to compute NPVs, especially when you have to compute the cash flows as well. NPV function: = NPV(rate, CF01: CFnn) – First parameter = required return entered as a decimal (5% =.05) – Second parameter = range of cash flows beginning with year 1 After computing NPV, subtract the initial investment (CF0) 8-12

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Rationale for the NPV method NPV = PV inflows – Cost NPV = 0 → Project’s inflows are ‘exactly sufficient to repay the invested capital and provide the required rate of return’ NPV = net gain in shareholder wealth Rule: Accept project if NPV >

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh NPV method Meets all desirable criteria – Considers all CFs – Considers TVM – Adjusts for risk – Can rank mutually exclusive projects Directly related to increase in VF Dominant method; always prevails 8-14

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Payback period How long does it take to recover the initial cost of a project? Computation – Estimate the cash flows – Subtract the future cash flows from the initial cost until initial investment is recovered – A ‘break-even’-type measure Decision rule—Accept if the payback period is less than some preset limit. 8-15

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Computing payback for the project 8-16 Do we accept or reject the project?

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Decision criteria test—Payback Does the payback rule account for the time value of money? Does the payback rule account for the risk of the cash flows? Does the payback rule provide an indication of the increase in value? Should we consider the payback rule for our primary decision criteria? 8-17

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Advantages and disadvantages of payback Advantages Easy to understand Adjusts for uncertainty of later cash flows Biased towards liquidity Disadvantages Ignores the time value of money Requires an arbitrary cut- off point Ignores cash flows beyond the cut-off date Biased against long-term projects, such as research and development, and new projects 8-18

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Average accounting return (AAR) Many different definitions for average accounting return (AAR) In this book: – Note: Average book value depends on how the asset is depreciated. Requires a target cut-off rate Decision rule: Accept the project if the AAR is greater than target rate. 8-19

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Computing AAR for the project Sample project data: – Year 0:CF = – Year 1:CF = NI = – Year 2:CF = NI = – Year 3:CF = NI = – Average book value = $ Required average accounting return = 25% Average net income:  ($ ) / 3 = $ AAR = $ / =.213 = 21.3% Do we accept or reject the project? 8-20

Singh Decision criteria test—AAR Does the AAR rule account for the time value of money? Does the AAR rule account for the risk of the cash flows? Does the AAR rule provide an indication of the increase in value? Should we consider the AAR rule for our primary decision criteria? 8-21

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Advantages and disadvantages of AAR Advantages Easy to calculate Needed information usually available Disadvantages Not a true rate of return Time value of money ignored Uses an arbitrary benchmark cut-off rate Based on accounting net income and book values, not cash flows and market values 8-22

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Internal rate of return (IRR) Most important alternative to NPV Widely used in practice Intuitively appealing Based entirely on the estimated cash flows Independent of interest rates 8-23

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh IRR—Definition and decision rule Definition: – IRR = discount rate that makes the NPV = 0 Decision rule: – Accept the project if the IRR is greater than the required return. 8-24

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh NPV vs IRR 8-25 IRR: Enter NPV = 0, solve for IRR NPV: Enter r, solve for NPV

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Computing IRR for the project If you do not have a financial calculator, this becomes a trial and error process Calculator – Enter the cash flows as you did with NPV – Press IRR and then CPT – IRR = 16.13% > 12% required return Do we accept or reject the project? 8-26

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K.

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Calculating IRRs with a spreadsheet Start with the cash flows the same as you did for the NPV. Use the IRR function – First enter your range of cash flows, beginning with the initial cash flow. – You can enter a guess, but it is not necessary. – The default format is a whole percentage point—you will normally want to increase the decimal places to at least two. 8-28

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh NPV profile for the project 8-29 IRR = 16.13%

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh NPV vs IRR NPV and IRR will generally give the same decision. Exceptions – Non-conventional cash flows Cash flow sign changes more than once – Mutually exclusive projects Initial investments are substantially different Timing of cash flows is substantially different Will not reliably rank projects 8-32

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh IRR and non-conventional cash flows ‘Non-conventional’ – Cash flows change sign more than once – Most common: Initial cost (negative CF) A stream of positive CFs Negative cash flow to close project For example, nuclear power plant or strip mine – More than one IRR … – Which one do you use to make your decision? 8-33

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Another example— Non-conventional cash flows Suppose an investment will cost $ initially and will generate the following cash flows: – Year 1: – Year 2: – Year 3: The required return is 15% Do we accept or reject the project? 8-34

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Another non-conventional cash flows example (cont.) NPV = / / (1.15) 2 – / (1.15) 3 – = Calculator: – CF 0 = ; C01 = ; F01 = 1; C02 = ; F02 = 1; C03 = ; F03 = 1; I = 15; [CPT] [NPV] =

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Non-conventional cash flows Summary of decision rules NPV > 0 at 15% required return, so you should Accept IRR =10.11% (using a financial calculator), which would tell you to Reject Recognise the non-conventional cash flows and look at the NPV profile 8-36

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh NPV profile 8-37 IRR = 10.11% and 42.66%

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh IRR and mutually exclusive projects Mutually exclusive projects – If you choose one, you can’t choose the other – Example: You can choose to attend graduate school next year at either Harvard or Stanford, but not both Intuitively you would use the following decision rules: – NPV—choose the project with the higher NPV – IRR—choose the project with the higher IRR 8-38

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Example of mutually exclusive projects 8-39 PeriodProject A Project B IRR19.43%22.17% NPV The required return for both projects is 10%. Which project should you accept and why?

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh NPV profiles 8-40 IRR for A = 19.43% IRR for B = 22.17% Crossover point = 11.8%

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Two reasons NPV profiles cross Size (scale) differences – Smaller project frees up funds sooner for investment. – The higher the opportunity cost, the more valuable these funds, so high discount rate favours small projects. Timing differences – Project with faster payback provides more CF in early years for reinvestment. – If discount rate is high, early CF are especially good. 8-41

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Conflicts between NPV and IRR NPV directly measures the increase in value to the firm. Whenever there is a conflict between NPV and another decision rule, you should always use NPV. IRR is unreliable in the following situations: – Non-conventional cash flows – Mutually exclusive projects 8-42

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Advantages and disadvantages of IRR Advantages Knowing a return is intuitively appealing It is a simple way to communicate the value of a project to someone who doesn’t know all the estimation details If the IRR is high enough, you may not need to estimate a required return, which is often a difficult task Disadvantages Can produce multiple answers Cannot rank mutually exclusive projects Reinvestment assumption flawed 8-43

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Modified internal rate of return ( MIRR ) Controls for some problems with IRR Three methods: 1.Discounting approach = Discount future outflows to present and add to CF 0 2. Reinvestment approach = Compound all CFs except the first one forward to end 3. Combination approach = Discount outflows to present; compound inflows to end – MIRR will be unique number for each method – Discount (finance) /compound (reinvestment) rate externally supplied 8-44

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh MIRR vs IRR Different opinions about MIRR and IRR. MIRR avoids the multiple IRR problem. Managers like rate of return comparisons, and MIRR is better for this than IRR. Problem with MIRR: different ways to calculate with no evidence of the best method. Interpreting a MIRR is not obvious. 8-45

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Profitability index Measures the benefit per unit cost, based on the time value of money. A profitability index of 1.1 implies that for every $1 of investment, we create an additional $0.10 in value. This measure can be very useful in situations where we have limited capital. Decision rule: If PI > 1.0  Accept 8-46

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Advantages and disadvantages of profitability index Advantages Closely related to NPV, generally leading to identical decisions Easy to understand and communicate May be useful when available investment funds are limited Disadvantages May lead to incorrect decisions in comparisons of mutually exclusive investment 8-47

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Capital budgeting in practice We should consider several investment criteria when making decisions. NPV and IRR are the most commonly used primary investment criteria. Payback is a commonly used secondary investment criteria. All provide valuable information. 8-48

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh NPV summary Net present value = – Difference between market value (PV of inflows) and cost – Accept if NPV > 0 – No serious flaws – Preferred decision criterion 8-50

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh IRR summary Internal rate of return = – Discount rate that makes NPV = 0 – Accept if IRR > required return – Same decision as NPV with conventional cash flows – Unreliable with: non-conventional cash flows mutually exclusive projects 8-51

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Payback summary Payback period = – Length of time until initial investment is recovered – Accept if payback < some specified target – Doesn’t account for time value of money – Ignores cash flows after payback – Arbitrary cut-off period – Asks the wrong question 8-52

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh AAR summary Average accounting return = – Average net income/Average book value – Accept if AAR > some specified target – Needed data usually readily available – Not a true rate of return – Time value of money ignored – Arbitrary benchmark – Based on accounting data not cash flows 8-53

Copyright  2011 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Essentials of Corporate Finance 2e by Ross et al. Slides prepared by David E. Allen and Abhay K. Singh Profitability index summary Profitability index = – Benefit–cost ratio – Accept investment if PI > 1 – Cannot be used to rank mutually exclusive projects – May be used to rank projects in the presence of capital rationing 8-54

The required return is 9% and required payback is 4 years. – What is the payback period? – What is the NPV? – What is the IRR? – Should we accept the project? What decision rule should be the primary decision-making method? When is the IRR rule unreliable? 8-55
