Objectives • What are the important issues/considerations in making investment decisions? • What is capital budgeting? • How do we analyze a project?
Investment Issues/Concepts • Growth Strategies • Capital Budgeting • Economic Profitability • Financial Feasibility • Risk • Portfolio Considerations • Tax Considerations
Capital Budgeting Decisions • Managers are responsible for identifying investments that create value • Impact cash flows over multiple periods • Factors to consider: • Strategic Direction • Estimation of future benefits • Uncertainty of future benefits
Capital Budgeting • Two Questions: • Economic profitability – Does it earn a profit above all costs? • Financial feasibility – Will it cash flow?
Time Value of Money • Money has a time value • “The sooner, the better.” • Money preferred to inventory • Can be invested • Benefit of investments are in the future • Adjust for cost of waiting
$100 Today or $100 Tomorrow • Why $100 today • Opportunity costs/earnings foregone • Adjust for cost of waiting • Discount /penalize future income
Present and Future Values Present Future Compounding Discounting
7% $50,000 $50,000 Year 1 2 3 4 5 $43,670 $35,650 $79,320 = Present Value of Net Cash Flows 0.9346 0.8734 0.8163 0.7629 0.7130 What is Discounting?
What is NPV? • Converts money flows in the future into a single current value • Used to evaluate alternative investments and the effects of the timing of cash flows and opportunity costs on the decisions
Net Present Value • Rationale for NPV approach is related to the “value of the firm” • If take on a project with NPV<0, value of the firm falls – owners are worse off. • However, if we accept a project with NPV>0, then the value of the firm increases – owners are better off.
Steps in Economic Profitability (NPV analysis) • Compute discount rate • Calculate present value of cash outlay • Calculate annual net cash flows • Calculate present value of net cash flows • Compute net present value • Accept or reject investment
Specialty Grain and On-Farm Storage • Purpose: add on farm storage to store specialty grain • Build from scratch • Investment outlay $76,800 • 5 year life with $30,000 salvage value • Will store 60,000 bushels IP corn • Finance with 40% debt, 60% equity • 35% tax bracket • Target ROE is 15.1% (9.8% after tax) • Borrow funds at 8.3% (5.3% after tax)
Step 1. Compute the Discount Rate • Discount rate is the price at which a dollar of cash flow is exchanged between periods • Exchange price between present and future dollars • Essential element in any present value analysis
Step 1: Compute the Discount Rate • Penalty of delay in receiving cash is the cost of financing • So the discount rate is the cost of capital
Step 2. Calculate the NPV of cash outlay • Purchase price is $76,800 • No additional working capital needed and sale is completed immediately • Present value of outlay = $76,800
Step 3. Calculate the Annual Net Cash Flows Calculate for each year . . . cash revenue less cash expenses less taxes plus terminal value = Net Cash Flows Cash flows: • exclude depreciation • Ignore unpaid labor and management
Two Sources of Income • Specialty grain revenue • Storage revenue
Calculate Taxes Net Income x tax rate = taxes $15,971 x .35 = $5,590
Step 4. Calculate the present value of the net cash flows • This is the sum of the discounted annual net cash flows (net cash flow times discount factor) for each year
$16,141 $17,673 $16,741 $15,891 $34,669 8% Year 1 2 3 4 5 $14,945 $15,151 $13,289 $11,680 $23,592 $78,658 = Present Value of Net Cash Flows 0.9259 0.8573 0.7938 0.7350 0.6806 What’s the Present Value of Net Cash Flows?
Step 5. Compute the NPV NPV = Present value of the net cash flows minus the present value of the cash outlay $78,658 - $76,800 = $1,858
Step 6. Accept or Reject NPV > 0 Accept NPV < 0 Reject
Interpretation of NPV • If NPV is positive • Invest • Rate or return greater than minimum acceptable rate (hurdle rate) • Return exceeds cost of financing • Maximum Bid price • Outlay plus/minus NPV
Feasibility Analysis Will the project cash flow?
Steps in Financial Feasibility Analysis • Calculate annual net cash flow • Calculate loan repayment schedule • Calculate tax savings from interest deductibility • Calculate after tax payment schedule • Calculate surplus or deficit each year
Step 1. Calculate the Annual Net Cash Flow • Already calculated as part of economic feasibility when doing NPV
Step 2. Calculate loan repayment schedule • Calculate annual principal and interest payments based on loan repayment schedule
Step 3. Calculate tax savings from interest deductibility • Net cash flows are after-tax, but the payment schedule is pre-tax • Payment schedule must be adjusted to after-tax by calculating tax savings from deductibility of interest
Step 5. Calculate surplus/deficit each year • Compare annual net cash flow to after-tax annual principal and interest payments to find a surplus or deficit • A surplus means the project is financially feasible • A deficit means loan servicing problems are likely
The Financial Feasibility: On-Farm Storage for Specialty Crops
Dealing with Deficits • Extend the loan terms • Increase the amount of the down payment • Increase cash flow of the project by controlling costs • Subsidize with cash from another project (the feasibility test will indicate the amount of the subsidy) • Lease/outsourcing
