  1. Capital investment Chapter 19

  2. chapter 19 Objectives • Describe the difference between independent and mutually exclusive capital investment decisions • Explain the roles of the payback period and accounting rate of return in capital investment decisions • Calculate the net present value (NPV) for independent projects • Compute the internal rate of return (IRR) for independent projects

  3. chapter 19 Objectives • Tell why NPV is better than IRR for choosing among mutually exclusive projects • Convert gross cash flows to after tax cash flows • Describe capital investment for advanced technology and environmental impact settings

  4. Capital Investment Decisions Concerned with the process of planning, setting goals and priorities, arranging financing, and using certain criteria to select long-term assets LO-1

  5. Capital Investment Decisions Capital budgeting: process of making capital investment decisions Two types of capital budgeting projects • Independent projects: projects that ,if accepted or rejected, will not affect the cash flows of another project • Mutually exclusive projects: projects that ,if accepted, preclude the acceptance of all other completing projects LO-1

  6. Payback and Accounting Rate of Return: Nondiscounting Methods Models for making capital investment decisions fall into two categories • Nondiscounting models: ignore the time value of money • Discounting models: explicitly consider the time value of money LO-2

  7. Payback and Accounting Rate of Return: Nondiscounting Methods Payback Period Time required for a firm to recover its original investment When cash flows of a project are assumed to be even Payback period = Original investment/Annual cash flow If cash flows are uneven, the payback period is computed by adding annual cash flows until such time as the original investment is recovered LO-2

  8. Payback and Accounting Rate of Return: Nondiscounting Methods Payback Period The payback period provides information to managers that can be used as follows • To help control the risks associated with the uncertainty of future cash flows • To help minimize the impact of an investment on a firm’s liquidity problems • To help control the risk of obsolescence • To help control the effect of the investment on performance measures LO-2

  9. Payback and Accounting Rate of Return: Nondiscounting Methods Payback Period Deficiencies of the payback period • Ignores a project’s total profitability • Ignores the time value of money LO-2

  10. Payback and Accounting Rate of Return: Nondiscounting Methods Accounting Rate of Return Measures the return on a project in terms of income, as opposed to using a project’s cash flow Accounting rate of return = Average income /Original investment The major deficiency is that it ignores the time value of money LO-2

  11. The Net Present Value Method Net present value is the difference between the present value of the cash inflows and outflows associated with a project: NPV = P – I where P = the present value of the project’s future cash inflows I = the present value of the project’s cost (usually the initial outlay) NPV measures the profitability of an investment • If the NPV is positive, it measures the increase in wealth LO-3

  12. The Net Present Value Method If the NPV is positive, it signals that • The initial investment has been recovered • The required rate of return has been recovered • A return in excess of (1) and (2) has been received if NPV is greater than zero, then the investment is profitable and therefore acceptable If NPV equals zero, then the decision maker will find acceptance or rejection of the investment equal. If NPV is less than zero, then the investment should be rejected LO-3

  13. Internal Rate of Return Interest rate that sets the present value of a project’s cash inflows equal to the present value of the project’s cost • Interest rate that sets the project’s NPV at zero LO-4

  14. Internal Rate of Return If the IRR > Cost of capital, the project should be accepted If the IRR = Cost of capital, acceptance or rejection is equal If the IRR < Cost of capital, the project should be rejected LO-4

  15. NPV versus IRR: Mutually Exclusive Projects NPV assumes each cash inflow is reinvested at the required rate of return, whereas the IRR method assumes that each cash inflow is reinvested at the computed IRR NPV measures the profitability in absolute terms, whereas the IRR methods measures it in relative terms LO-5

  16. Exhibit 19.1—NPV and IRR: Conflicting Signals LO-5

  17. Exhibit 19.2—Modified Comparison of Projects A and B LO-5

  18. Exhibit 19.3—Modified Cash flows with Additional Opportunity LO-5

  19. Computing After-Tax Cash Flows Two steps are needed to compute cash flows • Forecasting revenues, expenses, and capital outlays • Adjusting these gross cash flows for inflation and tax effects LO-6

  20. Computing After-Tax Cash Flows Conversion of Gross Cash Flows to After-Tax Cash Flows To analyze tax effects, cash flows are usually broken into three categories • The initial cash outflows needed to acquire the assets of the project • The cash flows produced over the life of the project (operating cash flows) • The cash flows from the final disposal of the project LO-6

  21. Exhibit 19.4—Tax Effects of the Sale of M1 and M2 LO-5

  22. Computing After-Tax Cash Flows MACRS Depreciation The taxpayer can use either the straight-line or the modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) to compute annual depreciation No consideration of salvage value is required Under either method, a half-year convention applies • This convention assumes that a newly acquired asset is in service for one-half of its first taxable year of service, regardless of the date that use of the asset actually began LO-6

  23. Computing After-Tax Cash Flows MACRS Depreciation: Half-Year Convention Assumes that a newly acquired asset is in service for one-half of its first taxable year of service, regardless of the date that use of the asset actually began When the asset reaches the end of its life, the other half-year of depreciation can be claimed in the following year If an asset is disposed of before the end of its class life, the half-year convention allows half the depreciation for that year LO-6

  24. MACRS Depreciation MACRS Depreciation For tax purposes, all depreciable business assets other than real estate are referred to as personal property, which is classified into one of six classes that specifies the life of the assets that must be used for figuring depreciation • Seven-year assets: most equipment, machinery, and office furniture are classified • Five-year assets: light trucks, automobiles, and computer equipment are classified • Three-year assets: most small tools are classified LO-6

  27. Capital Investment: Advanced Technology and Environmental Considerations Capital investment in advanced technology and P2 projects is affected by the way in which inputs are determined Much greater attention must be paid to the investment outlays because peripheral items can require substantial resources LO-7

  28. Capital Investment: Advanced Technology and Environmental Considerations A company is evaluating a potential investment in a flexible manufacturing system (FMS). The choice is to continue producing with its traditional equipment, expected to last 10 years, or to switch to the new system, which is also expected to have useful life of 10 years. The company’s discount rate is 12 percent. LO-7

  29. Exhibit 19.7—Investment Data: Direct, Intangible, and Indirect Benefits LO-7

  30. Capital Investment: Advanced Technology and Environmental Considerations Net present value of the proposed system The net present value is positive and large in magnitude, and it clearly signals the acceptability of the FMS LO-7

  31. Capital Investment: Advanced Technology and Environmental Considerations If benefits are eliminated, then the direct savings total $2.2 million, and the NPV is negative LO-7

  32. Capital Investment: Advanced Technology and Environmental Considerations Salvage Value Sensitivity analysis is used to deal with uncertainty related to estimating terminal or salvage value • Sensitivity analysis changes the assumptions on which the capital investment analysis relies and assesses the effect on the cash flow pattern LO-7

  33. Capital Investment: Advanced Technology and Environmental Considerations Discount Rates In theory, if future cash flows are known with certainty, the correct discount rate is a firm’s cost of capital In practice, future cash flows are uncertain, and managers choose a discount rate higher than the cost of capital to deal with that uncertainty LO-7
