4.6 Annuities PV and FV of Annuities Cash flows of the same amount is called "annuity". Paying 10,000 yen per month for gift certificate of the department store constitutes an annuity. If cash flows start immediately, it is called an "immediate annuity." If the cash flows start at the end of the current period, rather than immediately, it is call an "ordinary annuity." Let r be interest rate per month. Suppose you keep paying amount $A each month for a year. Starting today, you pay twelve times. Apply monthly compounding. This is an immediate annuity. FV is given by FV 12 A Next suppose that you will receive amount $A per month 12 times for a year. The first payment is a month from now. What is PV of this ordinary annuity? Apply monthly compounding. PV of the annuity is expressed as a sum of geometric sequence. PV of the first cash flow = A 1 r PV of the second cash flow = ª PV of the last cash flow = A 1 r 2 A 1 r 12 Then PV of this annuity is given by. 1 r t Example Suppose that you will receive amount $100 per month 12 times for a year. Interest rate per month is 1 percent. Then PV of this annuity is $1,125.51 as shown below. In terms of PV, having $1,125.51 today is equivalent to receiving $100 each month for a year.

How to Analyze Investment Projects 6.3 The Net Present Value Investment Rule Invest if the proposed project's NPV is positive. 1
6.5 Cost of Capital Cost of Capital is the risk-adjusted discount rate to use in computing a project's NPV. It depends on riskiness of the project. It can vary from project to project. 6.8 Projects with Different Lives When the lives of projects are different, we can compare their annualized capital costs. Annualized capital cost: an annual cash payment that has a present value equal to the initial outlay. In other words, annualized capital cost is a constant payment per year over the investment period which is calculated so that total of their present values is equal to the cost. Decision rule based on annualized capital cost: We choose the project with smaller annualized capital cost. Example: Two types of machines with different lives Suppose that we are considering to install a machine to filter water from the hot spring. Two types of machines are available. Which machine type to choose? Type A works 5 years. Type B works 10 years. Type B lasts longer and costs more. Suppose that interest rate to borrow is 10%. machine type life year price yen Type A 5 years 2 6 Type B 10 years 4 6 Let ca be annual cash payment for type A machine. Then annualized capital cost is value of ca which solves the following equation. 5 ca 2 1 r t 106 (1) Let cb be annualized capital cost of type B. It satisfies the following equation. 10 cb 4 6 (2) 1 r t Finding value of annualized capital cost of Type A We are going to solve equation (1). In[93]:= 5 ca Clear ca, r, ansa ;r 0.1; ansa NSolve 2 6,ca Out[93]= ca 527 595. In[94]:= ca ca. ansa 1 ; Print "ca ", ca ca 527 595. Annualized cost of capital of type A is $527,595. 2
Finding value of annualized capital cost of Type B Annualized cost of capital of type B is solution to equation (2). In[95]:= 10 cb Clear ansb, cb ; ansb NSolve cb cb. ansb 1 ; Print "cb ", cb 4 6,cb ; cb 650 982. Annualized cost of capital of type B is $650,982. In[97]:= Print "ca cb ", ca cb ca cb 123 387. Conclusion: Type A has lower annualized capital cost. We choose type A. Mathematically, finding value of annualized capital cost is the same the following: Interest rate is given. Value of annuaity is given. You find value of value of constant payment. 6.9 Ranking Mutually Exclusive Projects If projects under consideration require exclusive use of unique asset, we call them mutually exclusive projects. "Internal Rate of Return" may not be a good measure for ranking such mutually exclusive projects. You should use NPV method. Example: Plans with different scales for the same parcel of land Suppose you have a peace of land. You have two choices. building office building and making parking lot. 1. office building: initial outlay $20 10 6. You can sell it for $ 10 6 in one year. 2. parking lot: initial outlay $10,000. You can expect $10,000 per year forever. We like to compare these two alternatives and choose by using IRR and NPV methods. Comparison by Using IRR Net present value of the project of the office building is NPV 20. Internal rate of return is an interest rate which 1 x make NPV equal to zero. We solve an equation; 20 0. 1 x In[98]:= office building Clear x, ansx, IRRx ; ansx NSolve 20 1 x, x ; IRRx x. ansx 1 ; Print " IRRx ", IRRx IRRx 0.2 IRR for the office building is 20%. NPV of the parking lot is equal to 1 y t. We solve an equation; 0. 1 y t 3
In[101]:= parking lot Clear y, IRRy, ansy ; ansy NSolve 0, y ; t 1 y IRRy y. ansy 1 ; Print "IRRy ", IRRy IRRy 1. IRR of Parking lot is 100%. So parking lot has higher IRR. Comparison by Using NPV We want to choose the one which has higher NPV. Suppose that cost of capital is 15%. In[104]:= office building Clear NPVx, r ; r 0.15; NPVx 1 r 20 6 ; Print "NPV of the office building is ", NPVx NPV of the office building is 869 565. In[107]:= Parking lot Clear NPVy NPVy N 103 ; Print " NPV of the parking lot is ", NPVy, ", NPVx NPVy ", NPVx NPVy NPV of the parking lot is 56 666.7, NPVx NPVy 812 899. As shown above, if cost of capital is 15%, then the office building has higher NPV. You should choose office building. Result can be reversed However, if cost of capital is higher than 20%, the result is reversed. The result depends on cost of capital. For example, suppose cost of capital is 21%. Cost of Capital = 21% In[110]:= Clear r, NPV1, NPV2 ; r 0.21; NPV1 1 r 20 6 ; Print "NPV of office building when r 0.21 : NPV1 ", NPV1 NPV of office building when r 0.21 : NPV1 165 289. In[112]:= NPV2 N 103 ; Print "NPV of parking lot ", NPV2 Print "Comparison: NPV1 NPV2 ", NPV1 NPV2, " 0" 4
NPV of parking lot 37 619. Comparison: NPV1 NPV2 202 908. 0 If the cost of capital is 21%, then the parking lot is the project to choose. Switch-over Point When is the result reversed? Where is "switch-over point"? It is 19.7568% as shown below. In[115]:= Clear r ; NSolve 20 1 r 6 3 0, r Out[115]= r 0.197568, r 0.00253204 How can such a reversal happen? One of the reasons is different lives of the projects. Consider NPV as a function of cost of capital. It is denoted as r in our example. If cost of capital is below 0.2532%, then parking lot has higher NPV again. NPV as a function of cost of capital Let's draw graphs and see how NPV's changeas cost of capital changes.
