  1. The Super Project Cash Flow Estimation for Capital Budgeting

  2. Investment Criteria • Project ranking according to • Payback period • Accounting rate of return • Are certain costs being ignored? • What are the relevant project costs and cash flows? • Test-market expenses • Use of excess agglomerator and building capacity • Overhead costs • Lost contribution margin on Jell-O

  3. Test Market Expense Product Design Market Testing Manufacturing Investment Working Capital R&D

  4. Allocated Charges for Capacity Utilization • Charge for excess agglomerator and building capacity • Jell-O sales for August to September 1966 increased by 40% over previous year • In two years you would have to increase capacity anyway • Super project will require earlier and even greater increase • Reasonable to include use as costs • Risk of investment?

  5. Allocated Overhead Charges • Overhead costs are not fixed (see last 10 yrs in Exhibit 3) • SGA/Sales: 17.9% (1958) to 27.2% (1967) • Reasonable to include an increase from years 5 to 10 • How much? • Costs increase by $54,000/year for 10 years • Total of $540,000 • Yearly cost from years 5-10 = $540,000/6 • $90,000 • Graduated scale?

  6. Charge for Lost Contribution • Questionable charge • Assume that Jell-O would hold volume if Super is not introduced • What if a competitor introduces a product like Super? • Erosion is inevitable?

  7. Assumptions and setup • Exclude: • test market expense (sunk cost) • erosion (inevitable) • Include: • agglomerator and building use (opportunity cost) • overhead costs (side effect) • cash flow identity • cash (project) = OCF - additions to NWC - NCS • Assume r=10%

  8. Cash Flow from Operations Depreciation for Jell-O facilities: Sum-of-year digits; 40/15 year lives; $133/320

  9. Cash Flows for Super Investment tax credit of $8 in year 0; Tax shield on write-off of equip. in yr 11

  10. DCF Calculation NPV = $538 = accept

  11. NPV Profile of Project IRR = 18.5%

  12. Sensitivity Analysis Use of Jell-O Facilities
