1. Chapter 10 - Cash Flows and Other Topics in Capital Budgeting

2.  Use free cash flow rather than accounting profits  Think incrementally  Beware of cash flows diverted from existing products  Synergistic effects Useful Guidelines

3.  Working capital requirements are considered a cash flow even though they do not leave the company.  They are tied up over the life of the project.  When projects terminate, working capital will be recovered.

4. Useful Guidelines  Consider incremental expenses  Sunk costs are not incremental cash flow  Ignore interest payments and financing flows  Free cash flow = change in operating cash flow – change in net working capital – change in capital spending

5. Useful Guidelines  Use simple straight line method to calculate depreciation expense  Though depreciation is not a cash flow item, it does affect cash flow by lowering profit, so we will add it back

6.  Sale of old machine 1. Old asset is sold for a price above depreciated value eg: old machine purchased for $15,000, had a book value of $10,000, and was sold for $17,000 (34% tax rate), how much tax the firm should pay? (17,000 – 10,000) * 34% = 2,380 (17,000 – 10,000) * 34% = 2,380 Useful Guidelines

7.  Sale of old machine 2. Old asset is sold at depreciated value. since there is no gain or loss, no tax since there is no gain or loss, no tax 3. Old asset is sold less than its depreciated value. eg: book value is $10,000 and sold for $7,000, what is the tax? we have a cash inflow due to loss we have a cash inflow due to loss (10,000 – 7,000) * 34% = 1,020 (10,000 – 7,000) * 34% = 1,020

8. Capital Budgeting: The process of planning for purchases of long-term assets. For example: Our firm must decide whether to purchase a new plastic molding machine for $127,000. How do we decide?  Will the machine be profitable?  Will our firm earn a high rate of return on the investment?  The relevant project information follows:

9.  The cost of the new machine is $127,000.  Installation will cost $20,000.  $4,000 in net working capital will be needed at the time of installation.  The project will increase revenues by $85,000 per year, but operating costs will increase by 35% of the revenue increase.  Simplified straight line depreciation is used.  Class life is 5 years, and the firm is planning to keep the project for 5 years.  Salvage value at the end of year 5 will be $50,000.  14% cost of capital; 34% marginal tax rate.

10. Capital Budgeting Steps 1) Evaluate Cash Flows Look at all incremental cash flows occurring as a result of the project.  Initial outlay  Differential Cash Flows over the life of the project (also referred to as annual cash flows).  Terminal Cash Flows

11. Capital Budgeting Steps 1) Evaluate Cash Flows 012345n6... Terminal Cash flow Annual Cash Flows Initial outlay

12. 2) Evaluate the Risk of the Project  We’ll get to this in the next chapter.  For now, we’ll assume that the risk of the project is the same as the risk of the overall firm.  If we do this, we can use the firm’s cost of capital as the discount rate for capital investment projects. Capital Budgeting Steps

13. 3) Accept or Reject the Project Capital Budgeting Steps

14. Step 1: Evaluate Cash Flows a) Initial Outlay: What is the cash flow at “time 0?” (Purchase price of the asset) (Purchase price of the asset) + (shipping and installation costs) (Depreciable asset) (Depreciable asset) + (Investment in working capital) + After-tax proceeds from sale of old asset Net Initial Outlay Net Initial Outlay

15. Step 1: Evaluate Cash Flows  a) Initial Outlay: What is the cash flow at “time 0?” (127,000) Purchase price of asset (127,000) Purchase price of asset + (20,000) Shipping and installation (147,000) Depreciable asset (147,000) Depreciable asset + (4,000) Net working capital + 0 Proceeds from sale of old asset ($151,000) Net initial outlay ($151,000) Net initial outlay

16. Step 1: Evaluate Cash Flows b) Annual Cash Flows: What incremental cash flows occur over the life of the project?

17. Incremental revenue Incremental revenue - Incremental costs - Depreciation on project Incremental earnings before taxes Incremental earnings before taxes - Tax on incremental EBT Incremental earnings after taxes Incremental earnings after taxes + Depreciation reversal Annual Cash Flow Annual Cash Flow For Each Year, Calculate:

19. Step 1: Evaluate Cash Flows c) Terminal Cash Flow: What is the cash flow at the end of the project’s life? Salvage value Salvage value +/- Tax effects of capital gain/loss + Recapture of net working capital Terminal Cash Flow Terminal Cash Flow

20. Tax Effects of Sale of Asset:  Salvage value = $50,000.  Book value = depreciable asset - total amount depreciated.  Book value = $147,000 - $147,000 = $0. = $0.  Capital gain = SV - BV = 50,000 - 0 = $50,000. = 50,000 - 0 = $50,000.  Tax payment = 50,000 x.34 = ($17,000).

21. Step 1: Evaluate Cash Flows c) Terminal Cash Flow: What is the cash flow at the end of the project’s life? 50,000 Salvage value 50,000 Salvage value (17,000) Tax on capital gain (17,000) Tax on capital gain 4,000 Recapture of NWC 4,000 Recapture of NWC 37,000 Terminal Cash Flow 37,000 Terminal Cash Flow

22. Project NPV:  CF(0) = -151,000.  CF(1 - 4) = 46,461.  CF(5) = 46,461 + 37,000 = 83,461.  Discount rate = 14%.  NPV = $27,721.  We would accept the project.

23. Capital Rationing  Suppose that you have evaluated five capital investment projects for your company.  Suppose that the VP of Finance has given you a limited capital budget.  How do you decide which projects to select?

24. Capital Rationing  You could rank the projects by IRR: IRR 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% $ 1 23 4 5 $X Our budget is limited so we accept only projects 1, 2, and 3.

25. Capital Rationing  Ranking projects by IRR is not always the best way to deal with a limited capital budget.  It’s better to pick the largest NPVs.  Mutually exclusive projects: perform same task, so accepting one means rejection of the other

26. Problems with Project Ranking 1) Mutually exclusive projects of unequal size (the size disparity problem)  The NPV decision may not agree with IRR or PI.  Solution: select the project with the largest NPV.

27. Size Disparity Example Project B yearcash flow yearcash flow 0 (30,000) 0 (30,000) 1 15,000 1 15,000 2 15,000 2 15,000 3 15,000 3 15,000 required return = 12% IRR = 23.38% NPV = $6,027 PI = 1.20 Project A yearcash flow yearcash flow 0(135,000) 0(135,000) 1 60,000 1 60,000 2 60,000 2 60,000 3 60,000 3 60,000 required return = 12% IRR = 15.89% NPV = $9,110 PI = 1.07

28. Problems with Project Ranking 2) The time disparity problem with mutually exclusive projects.  NPV and PI assume cash flows are reinvested at the required rate of return for the project.  IRR assumes cash flows are reinvested at the IRR.  The NPV or PI decision may not agree with the IRR.  Solution: select the largest NPV.

29. Time Disparity Example Project B yearcash flow yearcash flow 0 (48,000) 0 (48,000) 1 36,500 1 36,500 2 24,000 2 24,000 3 2,400 3 2,400 4 2,400 4 2,400 required return = 12% IRR = 22.78% NPV = $6,955 PI = 1.14 Project A yearcash flow yearcash flow 0 (48,000) 0 (48,000) 1 1,200 1 1,200 2 2,400 2 2,400 3 39,000 3 39,000 4 42,000 4 42,000 required return = 12% IRR = 18.10% NPV = $9,436 PI = 1.20

30. Mutually Exclusive Investments with Unequal Lives  Suppose our firm is planning to expand and we have to select one of two machines.  They differ in terms of economic life and capacity.  How do we decide which machine to select?

31. The after-tax cash flows are: Year Machine 1 Machine 2 0 (45,000) (45,000) 0 (45,000) (45,000) 1 20,000 12,000 1 20,000 12,000 2 20,000 12,000 2 20,000 12,000 3 20,000 12,000 3 20,000 12,000 4 12,000 4 12,000 5 12,000 5 12,000 6 12,000 6 12,000 Assume a required return of 14%.

32. Step 1: Calculate NPV  NPV 1 = $1,433  NPV 2 = $1,664  So, does this mean #2 is better?  No! The two NPVs can’t be compared!  One way is to create replacement chain

33. Step 2: Equivalent Annual Annuity (EAA) method  If we assume that each project will be replaced an infinite number of times in the future, we can convert each NPV to an annuity.  The projects’ EAAs can be compared to determine which is the best project!  EAA: Simply annuitize the NPV over the project’s life.

34. EAA with your calculator:  Simply “spread the NPV over the life of the project”  Machine 1: PV = 1433, N = 3, I = 14, solve: PMT = -617.24. solve: PMT = -617.24.  Machine 2: PV = 1664, N = 6, I = 14, solve: PMT = -427.91. solve: PMT = -427.91.

35.  EAA 1 = $617  EAA 2 = $428  This tells us that:  NPV 1 = annuity of $617 per year.  NPV 2 = annuity of $428 per year.  So, we’ve reduced a problem with different time horizons to a couple of annuities.  Decision Rule: Select the highest EAA. We would choose machine #1.

36. Step 3: Convert back to NPV  Assuming infinite replacement, the EAAs are actually perpetuities. Get the PV by dividing the EAA by the required rate of return.  NPV 1 = 617/.14 = $4,407  NPV 2 = 428/.14 = $3,057  This doesn’t change the answer, of course; it just converts EAA to an NPV that can be compared.  

37. Options in Capital Budgeting  Option to delay a project  Option to expand a project  Option to abandon a project
