What is capital budgeting?
Analysis of potential projects.
Long-term decisions; involve large expenditures.
Very important to firm’s future.

Steps in Capital Budgeting
Estimate cash flows (inflows & outflows).
Assess risk of cash flows.
Determine r = WACC for project.
Evaluate cash flows.

What is the difference between independent and mutually exclusive
projects?
Projects are:
independent, if the cash flows of one are unaffected by the acceptance of the other.
mutually exclusive, if the cash flows of one can be adversely impacted by the acceptance of the other.

What is the payback period?
The number of years required to recover a project’s cost,
or how long does it take to get the business’s money back?

Strengths of Payback:
1. Provides an indication of a project’s risk and liquidity.
2. Easy to calculate and understand.
Weaknesses of Payback:
1. Ignores the TVM.
2. Ignores CFs occurring after the payback period.

Rationale for the NPV Method
NPV = PV inflows - Cost= Net gain in wealth.
Accept project if NPV > 0.
Choose between mutually exclusive projects on basis ofhigher NPV. Adds most value.

Using NPV method, which franchise(s) should be accepted?
If Franchise S and L are mutually exclusive, accept S because NPVs > NPVL .
If S & L are independent, accept both; NPV > 0.

Rationale for the IRR Method
If IRR > WACC, then the project’s rate of return is greater than its cost-- some return is left over to boost stockholders’ returns.
Example: WACC = 10%, IRR = 15%.Profitable.

Decisions on Projects S and L per IRR
If S and L are independent, accept both. IRRs > r = 10%.
If S and L are mutually exclusive, accept S because IRRS > IRRL .

To Find the Crossover Rate
1. Find cash flow differences between the projects. See data at beginning of the case.
2. Enter these differences in CFLO register, then press IRR. Crossover rate = 8.68%, rounded to 8.7%.
3. Can subtract S from L or vice versa, but better to have first CF negative.
4. If profiles don’t cross, one project dominates the other.
![Page 25: 11 - 1 What is capital budgeting? Analysis of potential projects. Long-term decisions; involve large expenditures. Very important to firm’s future](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bf831a28abf838c863b9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
11 - 25
Two Reasons NPV Profiles Cross
1. Size (scale) differences. Smaller project frees up funds at t = 0 for investment. The higher the opportunity cost, the more valuable these funds, so high r favors small projects.
2. Timing differences. Project with faster payback provides more CF in early years for reinvestment. If r is high, early CF especially good, NPVS > NPVL.
![Page 26: 11 - 1 What is capital budgeting? Analysis of potential projects. Long-term decisions; involve large expenditures. Very important to firm’s future](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bf831a28abf838c863b9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Reinvestment Rate Assumptions
NPV assumes reinvest at r (opportunity cost of capital).
IRR assumes reinvest at IRR.
Reinvest at opportunity cost, r, is more realistic, so NPV method is best. NPV should be used to choose between mutually exclusive projects.
![Page 27: 11 - 1 What is capital budgeting? Analysis of potential projects. Long-term decisions; involve large expenditures. Very important to firm’s future](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bf831a28abf838c863b9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Managers like rates--prefer IRR to NPV comparisons. Can we give them a
better IRR?
Yes, MIRR is the discount rate whichcauses the PV of a project’s terminalvalue (TV) to equal the PV of costs.TV is found by compounding inflowsat WACC.
Thus, MIRR assumes cash inflows are reinvested at WACC.

Why use MIRR versus IRR?
MIRR correctly assumes reinvestment at opportunity cost = WACC. MIRR also avoids the problem of multiple IRRs.
Managers like rate of return comparisons, and MIRR is better for this than IRR.

Normal Cash Flow Project:
Cost (negative CF) followed by aseries of positive cash inflows. One change of signs.
Nonnormal Cash Flow Project:
Two or more changes of signs.Most common: Cost (negativeCF), then string of positive CFs,then cost to close project.Nuclear power plant, strip mine.

Logic of Multiple IRRs
1. At very low discount rates, the PV of CF2 is large & negative, so NPV < 0.
2. At very high discount rates, the PV of both CF1 and CF2 are low, so CF0 dominates and again NPV < 0.
3. In between, the discount rate hits CF2 harder than CF1, so NPV > 0.
4. Result: 2 IRRs.

Could find IRR with calculator:
1. Enter CFs as before.
2. Enter a “guess” as to IRR by storing the guess. Try 10%:
10 STO
IRR = 25% = lower IRR
Now guess large IRR, say, 200:
200 STO
IRR = 400% = upper IRR

Assuming a 10% cost of capital, what is the project’s optimal, or economic life?

The project is acceptable only if operated for 2 years.
A project’s engineering life does not always equal its economic life.

Choosing the Optimal Capital Budget
Finance theory says to accept all positive NPV projects.
Two problems can occur when there is not enough internally generated cash to fund all positive NPV projects:
An increasing marginal cost of capital.
Capital rationing

Increasing Marginal Cost of Capital
Externally raised capital can have large flotation costs, which increase the cost of capital.
Investors often perceive large capital budgets as being risky, which drives up the cost of capital.

If external funds will be raised, then the NPV of all projects should be estimated using this higher marginal cost of capital.

Capital Rationing
Capital rationing occurs when a company chooses not to fund all positive NPV projects.
The company typically sets an upper limit on the total amount of capital expenditures that it will make in the upcoming year.

Reason: Companies want to avoid the direct costs (i.e., flotation costs) and the indirect costs of issuing new capital.
Solution: Increase the cost of capital by enough to reflect all of these costs, and then accept all projects that still have a positive NPV with the higher cost of capital.

Reason: Companies don’t have enough managerial, marketing, or engineering staff to implement all positive NPV projects.
Solution: Use linear programming to maximize NPV subject to not exceeding the constraints on staffing.

Reason: Companies believe that the project’s managers forecast unreasonably high cash flow estimates, so companies “filter” out the worst projects by limiting the total amount of projects that can be accepted.
Solution: Implement a post-audit process and tie the managers’ compensation to the subsequent performance of the project.
