Capital Budgeting the process of planning for
purchases of long-term assets.

• example
• Our firm must decide whether to purchase a new
  hot dog processing machine for 127,000. How do
  we decide?
• Will the machine be profitable?
• Will our firm earn a high rate of return on the
  investment?
• The relevant project information follows

3

• The cost of the new machine is 127,000.
• Installation will cost 20,000.
• 4,000 in net working capital will be needed at
  the time of installation.
• The project will increase revenues by 85,000 per
  year, but operating costs will increase by 35 of
  the revenue increase.
• Simplified straight line depreciation is used.
• Class life is 5 years, and the firm is planning
  to keep the project for 5 years.
• Salvage value at year 5 will be 50,000.
• 14 cost of capital 34 marginal tax rate.

Capital Budgeting Steps

• 1) Evaluate Cash Flows
• Look at all incremental cash flows occurring as
  a result of the project.
• Initial outlay
• Differential Cash Flows over the life of the
  project (also referred to as annual cash flows).
• Terminal Cash Flows

Capital Budgeting Steps

• 2) Evaluate the risk of the project.
• Well get to this at the end of this chapter.
• For now, well assume that the risk of the
  project is the same as the risk of the overall
  firm.
• If we do this, we can use the firms cost of
  capital as the discount rate for capital
  investment projects.
• 3) Accept or reject the project.

7
Step 1 Evaluate Cash Flows

• a) Initial Outlay What is the cash flow at
  time 0?
• (Purchase price of the asset)
• (shipping and installation costs)
• (Depreciable asset)
• (Investment in working capital)
• After-tax proceeds from sale of old asset
• Net Initial Outlay

8
Step 1 Evaluate Cash Flows

• a) Initial Outlay What is the cash flow at
  time 0?
• (127,000) Purchase price of asset
• ( 20,000) shipping and installation
• (147,000) depreciable asset
• ( 4,000) net working capital
• 0 proceeds from sale of old
  asset
• (151,000) net initial outlay

9
Step 1 Evaluate Cash Flows

• b) Annual Cash Flows What incremental cash
  flows occur over the life of the project?

10
For Each Year, Calculate

• Incremental revenue
• - Incremental costs
• - Depreciation on project
• Incremental earnings before taxes
• - Tax on incremental EBT
• Incremental earnings after taxes
• Depreciation reversal
• Annual Cash Flow

11
For Years 1 - 5

• 85,000 Revenue
• (29,750) Costs
• (29,400) Depreciation
• 25,850 EBT
• (8,789) Taxes
• 17,061 EAT
• 29,400 Depreciation reversal
• 46,461 Annual Cash Flow

12
Step 1 Evaluate Cash Flows

• c) Terminal Cash Flow What is the cash flow at
  the end of the projects life?
• Salvage value
• /- Tax effects of capital gain/loss
• Recapture of net working capital
• Terminal Cash Flow

13
Tax Effects of Sale of Asset

• Salvage value 50,000
• Book value depreciable asset - total amount
  depreciated.
• Book value 147,000 - 147,000
• 0.
• Capital gain SV - BV
• 50,000 - 0 50,000
• Tax payment 50,000 x .34 (17,000)

14
Step 1 Evaluate Cash Flows

• c) Terminal Cash Flow What is the cash flow at
  the end of the projects life?
• 50,000 Salvage value
• (17,000) Tax on capital gain
• 4,000 Recapture of NWC
• 37,000 Terminal Cash Flow

15
Project NPV

• CF(0) -151,000
• CF(1 - 4) 46,461
• CF(5) 46,461 37,000 83,461
• Discount rate 14
• NPV 27,721
• We would accept the project.

16
Incorporating Risk in Capital Budgeting Use
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.

17
Risk-Adjusted Discount Rate
18
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.

19
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

20
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 projects systematic risk,
• Computer simulation methods,
• Scenario analysis,
• Sensitivity analysis.
