Capital Budgeting Analysis forMedical Services USA

Purpose of Spreadsheet

Illustrate concepts related to capital budgeting analysis of projects. Certain aspectsproject may have not been included in order to help highlight basic concepts, such asNet Present Value. The spreadsheet is setup to evaluate six different projects and sumall projects based on both economic analysis and risk factors assigned.Note: The Solver feature of Excel is used in an example at the end. Please make sure thave installed So Solver add-on feature (Tools => Add-Ins => Solver).

Economic Analysis

Three economic criteria are applied to projects: Net Present Value, Modified Internal Rate ofReturn and Discounted Payback Period. If your project(s) have non-periodic payments(payments are not equal over the life of the project), then you should use these Excel Functions:=XNPV for Net Present Value by entering specific dates of cash flows=XIRR for Internal Rate of Return by entering specific dates of cash flows

Cell Indicators

Certain cells are highlighted as follows:

Selected input cells (not all input cells are highlighted since each project is unique)Cell includes a comment - move mouse and point over cell for commentIndication of an error in calculation or a red flag that a criteria has not been met

Organization of Spreadsheet

General InputThe following general inputs have been used on different worksheets:

A Diesel Generation System <= Enter project nameB New Clinic in Kansas City <= Enter project nameC Upgrade to DuBois Center <= Enter project nameD Southeastern Upgrades <= Enter project nameE Canadian Partnership <= Enter project name

Project has positive Net Present Value? YesProject has IRR in excess of cost? NoProject has a positive payback? Yes

Project must meet at least two of the three Economic Criteria, otherwise specialapproval is required.

Risk Analysis (based on analysis #1)

Risk Premium Applied to Project 2.25%

Compare Risk Factor with Government Treasury Bond (lowest risk) to Project Risk Factor:Risk Ranking = 1 for lowest possible risk up to 10 for highest possible risk

Probability of Accurate and Reliable Information - Gov't T Risk Ranking assigned to Gov't Treasury Bond ( 1 to 10)Exponential power to apply to Risk Ranking is 2 - (a)Risk Factor = (b) raised to the power (c)

Probability of Accurate and Reliable Information for ProjecRisk Ranking assigned to project (1 to 10)Exponential power to apply to ProjectRisk Factor for Project

Assign probabilities to three possible outcomes for project:P Pesimistic outlook, declining growth, slower volumes, etc.N Normal expected outlook as applied in analysisO Optomistic outlook, better than expected growth

Total should equal 100.00%

Project Summary

A major regulatory change is expected to change certain services in the Northeastern United States.In order to meet this new mandate, an investment is required in field personnel, training, andequipment. Revenues from the new services are also forecasted based on demand in Californiawhich adopted this regulatory change two years ago. The regulatory change is subject to futuremodification and therefore, the project is only projected over two years on a month to month basis.There is no initial investment required for this project.

Project must meet at least two of the three Economic Criteria, otherwise specialapproval is required.

Risk Analysis

Risk Premium Applied to Project 0.00% (Required for Compliance)

Compare Risk Factor with Government Treasury Bond (lowest risk) to Project Risk Factor:Risk Ranking = 1 for lowest possible risk up to 10 for highest possible risk

Probability of Accurate and Reliable Information - GoRisk Ranking assigned to Gov't Treasury Bond ( 1 to 1Exponential power to apply to Risk Ranking is 2 - (a)Risk Factor = (b) raised to the power (c)

Probability of Accurate and Reliable Information for Risk Ranking assigned to project (1 to 10)Exponential power to apply to ProjectRisk Factor for Project

Assign probabilities to three possible outcomes for project:P Pesimistic outlook, declining growth, slower volumes,N Normal expected outlook as applied in analysisO Optomistic outlook, better than expected growth

Projects with point totals less than 15 may represent poor investments and require additionalapproval before further analysis and processing. Projects with point totals between 15 and 20require caution and careful analysis. Projects with point totals greater than 20 may proceed

A major regulatory change is expected to change certain services in the Northeastern United States.In order to meet this new mandate, an investment is required in field personnel, training, andequipment. Revenues from the new services are also forecasted based on demand in Californiawhich adopted this regulatory change two years ago. The regulatory change is subject to futuremodification and therefore, the project is only projected over two years on a month to month basis.

Using Solver for Program Constraints

Financial Modeling Textbooks provide useful examples of how Excel Solver can be used to solve for capital budgeting program decisions given a set of constraints. The following example will illustrate how we could apply Solver for finding the right set of projects given a set of contraints:

Example:Objective: Maximize Net Present Value of Projects ContraintsYear 1: Only $ 200,000 can be spent on all capital projects Year 2: Only $ 150,000 can be spent on all capital projects

Year 3: Only $ 120,000 can be spent on all capital projectsYear 4: Only $ 100,000 can be spent on all capital projectsYear 5: Only $ 75,000 can be spent on all capital projects

Five Projects require investments over five years and have the following Net Present Values:

Maximum Allowed Budget 200,000 150,000

We will enter the following constraints into Solver:

$ 45,000 A + $ 55,000 B + $ 25,000 C + $ 35,000 D + $ 50,000 E .LE. $ 200,000

Each of the above constraints recognizes that we can spend no more than what is budgeted each year. We alsohave the equation we are trying to solve for: Maximize NPV = $ 650,000 A + $ 820,000 B + $ 540,000 C + $ 701,000 D + $ 490,000 E

We will also use as our variables "0" for No and "1" for Yes as to which projects we should select given the aboveconstraints and equation. The "maximum" NPV will show up in our "set" cell which is cell D43.

Now go to the main toolbar, select Tools -> Solver and enter the following:

1. Target Cell is D432. Equal to: Select the Max button since we are solving for maximum values.3. By Changing Cells: Select the range B38:B42 as our variables.4. Subject to Constraints: Add two contraints as follows:

B38:B42 .EQ. Binary EQ or = (equal)E43:I43 .LE. E44:I44 LE or <= (less than or equal to)

5. Click on Solve. The Find Solution dialog box may pop up. Click on Answer. Solver will change the variables(which we first entered all as zero's in cells B38:B42) and produce a report (Answer Report 1)

Using Excel Solver, we would select Projects A, C, and D!
