Corporate Finance Lecture 2
Outline for today • The application of DCF in capital budgeting • Identifying Cash Flows • Calculating Cash Flows • Example: Blooper Industries
Incremental Cash Flows • Cash flows matter—not accounting earnings. • Sunk costs don’t matter. • Incremental cash flows matter. • Opportunity costs matter. • Side effects like synergy and erosion matter. • Taxes matter: we want incremental after-tax cash flows. • Inflation matters.
Cash Flow vs. Accounting Income • Discount actual cash flows instead of accounting profits Example A project costs $2,000 and is expected to last 2 years, producing cash income of $1,500 and $500 respectively. The cost of the project can be depreciated at $1,000 per year. Given a 10% required return, compare the NPV using cash flow to the NPV using accounting income.
Incremental Cash Flow cash flow with project cash flow without project - = Incremental Cash Flows • Discount incremental cash flows Important question: Would the cash flow still exist if the project does not exist?
Separation of Investment & Financing Decisions • When valuing a project, should you consider the cash flows from financing decisions?
