The numerator focuses on project cash flows covered in chapter 9. The denominator is the discount rate, the focus of chapter 10. Reflect opportunity costs to firm’s investors The denominator should: Reflect the project’s risk Be derived from market data Choosing the Right Discount Rate Fußzeile
Project discount rate is easy to determine if we assume : Firm is financed with 100% equity Project is similar to the firm’s existing assets A Simple Case In this case, the appropriate discount rate equals the cost of equity. Cost of equity estimated using the CAPM Fußzeile
Carbonlite Inc. Cost of Equity Carbonlite Inc., an all-equity firm, is evaluating a proposal to build a new manufacturing facility. • Firm manufactures bicycle frames. • As a luxury good producer, firm is very sensitive to the economic situation (product demand is elastic). • Carbonlite’s stock has a beta of 1.5 Managers note Rf = 5%, expected market return assumed to be 11%: E(Re ) = Rf + (E(Rm) - Rf) = 5% + 1.5(11%-5%)= 14% cost of equity Fußzeile
The mix of fixed and variable costs Operating leverage The extent to which a firm finances operations by borrowing Financial Leverage The fixed costs of repaying debt increase a firm’s beta in the same way that operating leverage does. Cost of Equity Beta plays a central role in determining whether a firm’s cost of equity is high or low. What factors influence a firm’s beta? Fußzeile

Operating Leverage for Carbonlite and Fiberspeed EBIT Carbonlite Fiberspeed Sales Other things equal, higher operating leverage means that Carbon’s beta will be higher than Fibers’ beta. Fußzeile
The Effect of Financial Leverage on Beta Financial leverage makes Firm 2’s ROE more volatile, so its beta will be higher . Fußzeile

The Financial Leverage At a leverage of 0 (all equity financed !!) the standard deviation of 6.24% can be interpreted as operational risk. As the company / project is not debt-financed, there is no capital-structure related risk. While the operational risk remains always constant and idepen-dent of the capital structure, the total risk (standard deviation) will increase when we establish a higher degree of indebtedness. LEVERAGE D/E Fußzeile
The Financial Leverage Statistically the mean return from the project (at L=1) will be 21.7% at a standard deviation of 12.5 %. Thus we can expect the result to be between 21.7% - 12.5% and 21.7% + 12.5% at a statistical probability of 68%.... 68% - 1s mean + 1s Fußzeile
The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) Cost of equity applies to projects of an all-equity firm. • But what if firm has both debt and equity? • Problem is akin to finding expected return of portfolio. • Use weighted average cost of capital (WACC) as discount rate. • Lox-in-a-Box is a chain of fast food stores. • Firm has $100 million equity (E), with cost of equity re= 15%; • Also has bonds (D) worth $50 million, with rd = 9%. • Cost structure / financial structure remains unchanged.
Rules for Selecting an Appropriate Project Discount Rate • Cost of equity is the appropriate discount rate for an all-equity firm. • When a levered firm invests in a project similar to its existing projects, the WACC is the right discount rate. • When a firm invests in a project different than its existing projects, using the WACC may lead to mistakes. Fußzeile
We have thus far assumed away taxes, which are often important in financing decisions. • Tax deductibility of interest payments favors use of debt. • Accounting for interest tax shields yields after-tax WACC. Accounting for Taxes in Finding WACC • Accounting for taxes doesn’t change the rules for selecting the discount rate. Fußzeile
A Closer Look at Risk Break-Even Analysis Managers often want to assess business’ value drivers. Finding the break-even point is often useful for assessing operating risk. Break-even point (BEP) is level of output where all operating costs (fixed and variable) are covered.
Costs & Revenues Total revenue Total costs $5,000,000 Fixed costs 8,333 units Units Break-Even Point for Carbonlite Carbonlite has high fixed costs ($5,000,000), but also high contribution margin ($600/bike). High BEP, but once FC covered, profits grow rapidly. Fußzeile
Costs & Revenues Total revenue Total costs Fixed costs $2,000,000 6,667 units Units Break-Even Point for Fiberspeed Fiberspeed has low fixed costs ($2,000,000), but also low contri-bution margin ($300/bike). Low BEP, but profits grow slowly after FC covered. Fußzeile
Sensitivity analysis allows mangers to test importance of each assumption underlying a forecast. • Test deviations from “base case” and associated NPV Sensitivity Analysis 1.The project’s life is five years. 2. The project requires an up-front investment of $7 million. 3. GTI will depreciate initial investment on straight line basis for five years. GTI has developed a new skateboard. Base case assumptions yield a NPV of $236,000. Fußzeile
Sensitivity Analysis • 4. One year from now, the skateboard industry will sell 500,000 units. • 5. Total industry unit volume will increase by 5% per year. • 6. GTI expects to capture 5% of the market in the first year. • 7. GTI expects to increase its market share one percentage point each year after year one. • 8. The selling price will be $200 in year one • 9. Selling price will decline by 10% per year after year one. • 10. Variable production costs will equal 60% of the selling price. • 11. The appropriate discount rate is 14 percent. Fußzeile

Risk And Capital Budgeting • All-equity firms can discount their standard invest-ment projects at cost of equity. • Firms with debt and equity can discount their stan-dard investment projects using WACC. • A variety of tools exist to assist managers in under-standing the sources of uncertainty of a project’s cash flows. • If risk is explicitly measured as a type of deviation from a mean expected value, decision rules must be able to handle two parameters, expected risk and expected return.

Real Options in Capital Budgeting Option pricing analysis is helpful in examining multi-stage projects. Embedded options arise naturally from investment are called real options to distinguish from financial options. Value of a project equals value captured by NPV, plus option. Can transform negative NPV projects into positive NPV! (-:, (-: …… the story is over) Fußzeile

Expansion options • If a product is a hit, expand production (call option). Abandonment options • Firm can abandon a project if not successful (put option). • Shareholders have valuable option to default on debt. Follow-on investmentoptions • Similar to expansion options, but more complex (Ex: movie rights to sequel) • Ability to use multiple production inputs (Ex: dual-fuel industrial boiler) or produce multiple outputs Flexibility options Real Options in Capital Budgeting Fußzeile
