  1. Learning Objectives • Appraise the use of the cost of capital as the discount rate in capital budgeting analysis. (LO4) • Integrate the cash flows that result from an investment decision, including the after tax operating benefits and the tax shield benefits of capital cost allowance (amortization). (LO5) • Perform NPV analysis to assist in the decision-making process concerning long-run investments. (LO6)

  2. LO6 Making Investment Decisions • When estimating cash flows for an investment proposal, remember that only those cash flows resulting from the potential acceptance decision are relevant and should be included in your estimation. • For example, a proposal of purchasing a new van to replace an old van should only include the net cost of the new van, that is, the difference between the cost of the new van and the sale price of the old van. • The present value of CCA tax shield =

  5. LO6 Making Investment Decisions To make the actual investment decision: • determine the net cash outflow arising from the initial investment • estimate the amounts and timing of net future cashinflows (aftertax) • discount the future cash flows back to the present • add the present value of the Capital Cost Allowance shield, using the formula and appropriate CCA rate • determine whether the machine should be purchased (if NPV > 0)

Therefore, the tax credit of $22,500 is discounted one year. The CCA pool is affected in the year after acquisition. The CCA tax shield formula is constructed assuming tax savings effects occur at the end of the year.

  8. LO6 Discounted Cash Flows Models – The Difficulties • Both NPV and IRR models require the estimation of future expected cash flows and the selection of an appropriate opportunity cost of capital. • There can be difficulties and mistakes estimating future cash flows. • Also bias in estimates based by managers who wish to see their project accepted. • Despite the use of models to determine the discount rate, its determination is a judgement call.
