Incorporating Risk into Capital Budgeting Two Methods: • Certainty Equivalent Approach • Risk-Adjusted Discount Rate
n t=1 S ACFt (1 + k) NPV = - IO t How can we adjust this model to take risk into account?
n t=1 S ACFt (1 + k) NPV = - IO t How can we adjust this model to take risk into account? • Adjust the After-tax Cash Flows (ACFs), or • Adjust the discount rate (k).
Certainty Equivalent Approach • Adjusts the risky after-tax cash flows to certain cash flows. • The idea:
Certainty Equivalent Approach • Adjusts the risky after-tax cash flows to certain cash flows. • The idea: Risky Certainty Certain Cash XEquivalent = Cash Flow Factor (a) Flow
Certainty Equivalent Approach Risky Certainty Certain Cash X Equivalent = Cash Flow Factor (a) Flow Risky “safe” $1000 .70 $700
Certainty Equivalent Approach Risky Certainty Certain Cash X Equivalent = Cash Flow Factor (a) Flow Risky “safe” $1000 .95 $950
The greater the risk associated with a particular cash flow, the smaller the CE factor.
n t=1 t ACFt (1 + krf) NPV = - IO Certainty Equivalent Method S t
Certainty Equivalent Approach • Steps: 1) Adjust all after-tax cash flows by certainty equivalent factors to get certain cash flows. 2) Discount the certain cash flows by the risk-free rate of interest.
Incorporating Risk into Capital Budgeting • Risk-Adjusted Discount Rate
n t=1 S ACFt (1 + k) NPV = - IO t How can we adjust this model to take risk into account?
n t=1 S ACFt (1 + k) NPV = - IO t How can we adjust this model to take risk into account? • Adjust the discount rate (k).
Risk-Adjusted Discount Rate • Simply adjust the discount rate (k) to reflect higher risk. • Riskier projects will use higher risk-adjusted discount rates. • Calculate NPV using the new risk-adjusted discount rate.
n t=1 S ACFt (1 + k*) NPV = - IO t Risk-Adjusted Discount Rate
Risk-Adjusted Discount Rates • How do we determine the appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate (k*) to use? • Many firms set up risk classes to categorize different types of projects.
Risk Classes Risk RADR Class (k*) Project Type 1 12% Replace equipment, Expand current business 2 14% Related new products 3 16% Unrelated new products 4 24% Research & Development
Summary: Risk and Capital Budgeting You can adjust your capital budgeting methods for projects having different levels of risk by: • Adjusting the discount rate used (risk-adjusted discount rate method), • Measuring the project’s systematic risk, • Computer simulation methods, • Scenario analysis, • Sensitivity analysis.
