Capital investment decisions are concerned with the process of planning,

setting goals and priorities, arranging financing, and using certain criteria to

select long-term assets.

Capital Investment DecisionsCapital Investment Decisions 1

20-4

Capital budgeting is the process of making capital investment decisions.Two types of capital budgeting projects:

Projects that, if accepted or rejected, will not affect the cash flows of another project.

Projects that, if accepted, preclude the acceptance of competing projects.

Independent Projects

Mutually Exclusive Projects

*At the beginning of Year 3, $60,000 is needed to recover the investment. Since a net cash inflow of $100,000 is expected, only 0.6 year ($60,000/$100,000) is needed to recover the $60,000. Thus, the payback period is 2.6 years (2 + 0.6).

20-6

The payback period provides information to managers that can be used as follows:

To help control the risks associated with the uncertainty of future cash flows.

To help minimize the impact of an investment on a firm’s liquidity problems.

To help control the risk of obsolescence.

To help control the effect of the investment on performance measures.


Deficiencies of the payback period:

Ignores the time value of money

Ignores the performance of the investment beyond the payback period

Accounting Rate Of Return (ARR)

ARR = Average income ÷ Original investment or Average investment

Average investment = (I + S)/2

Average investment = (I + S)/2

I = the original investment

S = salvage value

Assume that the investment is uniformly consumed

I = the original investment

S = salvage value

20-8

The major deficiency of the accounting rate of return is that it ignores the time value of money.

NPV = P – I

where:

P = the present value of the project’s future cash inflows

I = the present value of the project’s cost (usually the initial outlay)

Net present value is the difference between the present value of the cash inflows and outflows associated with a project.

Polson Company has developed a new cell phone that is expected to generate an annual revenue of $750,000. Necessary production equipment would cost $800,000 and can be sold in five years for $100,000.


In addition, working capital is expected to increase by $100,000 and is expected to be recovered at the end of five years. Annual operating expenses are expected to be $450,000. The required rate of return is 12 percent.

If NPV > 0, this indicates:

1. The initial investment has been recovered

2. The required rate of return has been recovered

Thus, Polson should manufacture the cell phones.

Decision Criteria for NPV


20-14

Reinvestment Assumption

The NVP model assumes that all cash flows generated by a project are immediately reinvested to earn the

required rate of return throughout the life of the project.


20-15

The internal rate of return (IRR) is the interest rate that sets the project’s NPV at zero. Thus, P = I for the IRR.

Example: A project requires a $240,000 investment and will return $99,900 at the end of each of the next three years. What is the IRR?

$240,000 = $99,900(df) $240,000 / $99,400 = 2.402 i = 12%

Internal Rate of ReturnInternal Rate of Return 4

20-16

If the IRR > Cost of Capital, the project should be accepted.

If the IRR = Cost of Capital, acceptance or rejection is equal.

If the IRR < Cost of Capital, the project should be rejected.

Decision Criteria:

Internal Rate of ReturnInternal Rate of Return 4

20-17

There are two major differences between net present value and the internal rate of return:

NPV assumes cash inflows are reinvested at the required rate of return, whereas the IRR method assumes that the inflows are reinvested at the internal rate of return.

NPV measures the profitability of a project in absolute dollars, whereas the IRR method measures it as a percentage.

The tax laws classify most assets into the following three classes (class = allowable years):

Class Types of Assets3 Most small tools5 Cars, light trucks, computer equipment7 Machinery, office equipment

Assets in any of the three classes can be depreciated using either straight-line or MACRS (Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System) with a half-year convention.

MACRS Depreciation Rates


20-32

Half the depreciation for the first year can be claimed regardless of when the asset is actually placed in service.

The other half year of depreciation is claimed in the year following the end of the asset’s class life.

If the asset is disposed of before the end of its class life, only half of the depreciation for that year can be claimed.

Future ValueLet:

F = future value

i = the interest rate

P = the present value or original outlay

n = the number or periods

Future value can be expressed by the following formula:

F = P(1 + i)n

20-38

Assume the investment is $1,000. The interest rate is

8%. What is the future value if the money is invested for one year? Two? Three?


20-39

F = $1,000(1.08) = $1,080.00 (after one year)

F = $1,000(1.08)2 = $1,166.40 (after two years)

F = $1,000(1.08)3 = $1,259.71 (after three years)

Future Value


20-40

P = F/(1 + i)n

The discount factor, 1/(1 + i), is computed for various combinations of I and n.

Example: Compute the present value of $300 to be received three years from now. The interest rate is 12%.

Answer: From Exhibit 23B-1, the discount factor is 0.712. Thus, the present value (P) is:P = F(df)

= $300 x 0.712= $213.60
