1 Chaper 10: THE BASICS OF CAPITAL BUDGETING Should we build his plan? Topic Overview Projec Types Capial Budgeing Decision Crieria Payback Period Discouned Payback Period Ne Presen Value () Inernal Rae of Reurn (IRR) Modified Inernal Rae of Reurn (MIRR) Learning Objecives Think abou his as we cover Chaper 10 Capial Budgeing Decision Mehods. Undersand how o calculae and use he 5 capial budgeing decision echniques: Payback, Discouned Payback,, IRR, & MIRR. Undersand he advanages and disadvanages of each echnique. Undersand which projec o selec when here is a ranking conflic beween and IRR. Which of he following invesmen opporuniies would you prefer? #1) Give me $1 now and I ll give you $2 a he end of class. #2) Give me $100 now and I ll give you $150 a he end of class. WHAT IS CAPITAL BUDGETING? Capial Budgeing Seps: Analysis of poenial addiions o fixed asses. Long-erm decisions; involve large expendiures. Very imporan o firm s fuure. 1. Esimae CFs (inflows & ouflows). 2. Assess riskiness of CFs. 3. Deermine k = WACC (adj.). 4. Find and/or IRR. 5. Accep if > 0 and/or IRR > WACC. 1

2 Types of Projecs An Example of Muually Exclusive Projecs: Brand new line of business Expansion of exising line of business Replacemen of exising asse Independen vs. Muually Exclusive Normal vs. Non-normal BRIDGE VS. BOAT TO GET PRODUCTS ACROSS A RIVER. Normal vs. Nonnormal Projecs Normal Projec: Cos (negaive CF) followed by a series of posiive cash inflows. One change of signs. Non-normal Projec: Two or more changes of signs. Mos common: Cos (negaive CF), hen sring of posiive CFs, hen cos o close projec. Nuclear power plan, srip mine. Inflow (+) or Ouflow (-) in Year N NN N NN N N NN Our Case Sudy Payback Period (PB) We wan o help Marge Simpson analyze he following business opporuniies by using he following cash flow informaion. Assume Marge's cos of capial is 12%. Time Falafel-Full How 'Bou A Prezel? 0 (20,000) (20,000) 1 15,000 2, ,000 2, ,000 3, ,000 50,000 Measures how long i akes o recovers a projec s cos (CF0 = iniial oulay). Easy o calculae and a good measure of a projec s risk and liquidiy. Decision Rule: Accep if PB < some maximum period of ime. If cash inflows are equal each year (in he form of an annuiy), PB = CF0/Annual CF Oherwise: see our coninuing example. 2

Problems wih Payback Ignores ime value of money! Ignores cash flows beyond payback period. The Discouned Payback Period addresses he firs problem. Disc.

IRR is he ineres rae where he PV of he inflows equals he PV of he ouflows. In oher words, he IRR is he rae where a projec s = 0. Decision Rule: Accep if IRR > k (cos of capial). Non-normal projecs have muliple IRRs. Don use IRR o decide on non-normal projecs. Marge s IRRs Bes o use calculaor. Calculaor Seps.

For each year, subrac one projec s cash flows from he oher. If here is a change of signs of hese cash flow differences, a ranking conflic exiss. Find IRR of hese cash flow differences o find rae where he wo projecs have he same = crossover rae. A a cos of capial less han his crossover rae, a ranking conflic beween and IRR exiss. Marge s crossover rae Two reasons profiles cross: Time Falafel-Fullw 'Bou A Prezel?

Smaller projec frees up funds a = 0 for invesmen. The higher he opp. cos, he more valuable hese funds, so high k favors small projecs. 2) Timing differences. Projec wih faser payback provides more CF in early years for reinvesmen. If k is high, early CF especially good, S > L. 5

6 Which projec is bes for Marge? Think back o my indecen proposal. Which of he following invesmen opporuniies would you prefer? #1) Give me $1 now and I ll give you $2 a he end of class. #2) Give me $100 now and I ll give you $150 a he end of class. Reconciling Ranking Conflics absen capial raioning. Reinvesmen Rae Assumpion: assumes cash flows are reinvesed a company s cos of capial (i.e.: he invesors required rae of reurn). IRR assumes cash flows are reinvesed a IRR. The reinvesmen rae assumpion is more realisic. Shareholder Wealh Maximizaion: Wan o add more value o he firm han less. Resul: Choose projec wih highes when /IRR ranking conflic exiss for muually exclusive projecs. Acme, Inc. Rocke-Powered Roller Blade Projec Acme is considering he following projec which would marke hese roller blades o coyoes rying o cach road runners. Acme expecs a cash inflow in he year 1, bu an ouflow in he 2 nd (las) year of he projec due o liabiliy claims from injured caroon coyoes. Acme s opporuniy cos of capial is 13%. Year Cash Flow (5) 30 (30) = IRR = 26.8% -6 Rocke-Powered Roller Blade Profile 4-1 0% 50% 100% 150% 200% 250% 300% 350% 400% 450% 500% 550% A Acme s 13% opporuniy cos of capial, he projec has a negaive even hough he IRRs (~27% & 374%) are greaer han 13%. Because of his conflic, don use IRR o make decisions for nonnormal projecs! Why even mess wih IRR? Since we like, why mess wih somehing like IRR? A rae of reurn or ineres rae is more inuiive for ousiders and easier o undersand. Bu IRR assumes an unrealisic reinvesmen rae an leads o muliple IRRs for non-normal projecs. Soluion: Modified Inernal Rae of Reurn (MIRR). Modified Inernal Rae of Reurn, MIRR The ineres rae where he FV of a projec s inflows (TV) are discouned o equal he PV of a projec s ouflows. Assumes cash inflows are reinvesed a he projec s cos of capial (k). PV(ouflows) = TV/(1+MIRR) n, where TV = ΣCIF (1+k) n-, and PV(ouflows) = ΣCOF /(1+k) Where CIF = annual cash inflow, and COF = annual cash ouflow. 6

7 Seps o finding MIRR. Find TV of inflows by finding FV of each annual inflow o he end of he projec s life a he cos of capial. Find PV of ouflows a he cos of capial oday. Then find ineres rae over he n years of he projec ha equaes he TV (=FV) o he PV of he ouflows(=pv). Decision rule same as IRR: Compare MIRR o cos of capial. The MIRR for Marge s projecs.
