The topic discussed in this chapter is making capital investment decisions. In this chapter, you will learn: Understand how to determine the relevant cash flows for a proposed investment, understand how to analyse a project’s projected cash flows, understand how to evaluate an estimated NPV.

Trang 2Key concepts and skills
• Understand how to determine the
relevant cash flows for a proposed
Trang 3Chapter outline
• Project cash flows: A first look
• Incremental cash flows
• Pro forma financial statements and project cash flows
• More on project cash flow
• Evaluating NPV estimates
• Scenario and other what-if analyses
• Additional considerations in capital
Trang 4Relevant cash flows
• The cash flows that should be included
in a capital budgeting analysis are
those that will occur only if the project
is accepted.
• These cash flows are called
incremental cash flows.
• The stand-alone principle allows us to
analyse each project in isolation from
the firm, simply by focusing on
Trang 5Asking the right question
• You should always ask yourself ‘Will
this cash flow occur ONLY if we accept the project?’
– If the answer is ‘yes’, it should be included
in the analysis because it is incremental.
– If the answer is ‘no’, it should not be
included in the analysis because it will
occur anyway.
– If the answer is ‘in part’, then we should
Trang 6Common types of cash
flows
• Sunk costs—costs that have accrued in the
past
– Should not be considered in investment decision
• Opportunity costs—costs of lost options
• Side effects
– Positive side effects—benefits to other projects
– Negative side effects—costs to other projects
• Changes in net working capital
• Financing costs
– Not a part of investment decision
Trang 7Pro forma statements
and cash flow
• Pro forma financial statements
– Project future operations
• Capital budgeting relies heavily on pro
forma accounting statements, particularly income statements.
• Computing cash flows—refresher
– Operating cash flow (OCF) = EBIT +
Depreciation – Taxes
– OCF = Net income + Depreciation when there
is no interest expense
– Cash flow from assets (CFFA) = OCF – Net
capital spending (NCS) – Changes in NWC

Net Capital Spending -90,000
Cash Flow From Assets -110,000 53,100 53,100 73,100
Net Present Value $13,428.24
Pro Forma Income Statement
Cash Flows
OCF = EBIT + Depreciation – Taxes
OCF = Net Income + Depreciation (if no interest)
Trang 13Making the decision
• Now that we have the cash flows, we can
apply the techniques that we learned in
Chapter 8.
• Enter the cash flows into the calculator and
compute NPV and IRR.
– CF 0 = -110 000; C01 = 53 100; F01 = 2; C02 = 73 100
– [NPV]; I = 20; [CPT] [NPV] = 13 428
– [CPT] [IRR] = 27.3%
• Do we accept or reject the project?
Trang 14The tax shield approach
• You can also find operating cash flow using
the tax shield approach.
• OCF = (Sales – Costs)(1 – T)
+Depreciation*T
• This form may be particularly useful when the major incremental cash flows are the
purchase of equipment and the associated
depreciation tax shield, such as when you
are choosing between two different
machines.
Trang 15More on NWC
• Why do we have to consider changes in
NWC separately?
– AAS require that sales be recorded on the
income statement when made, not when cash
is received.
– AAS also require that we record cost of goods sold when the corresponding sales are made, regardless of whether we have actually paid our suppliers yet.
Trang 16Depreciation and capital
budgeting
• The depreciation expense used for
capital budgeting should be the
depreciation schedule required by the
ATO for tax purposes.
• Depreciation itself is a non-cash
expense Consequently, it is only
relevant because it affects taxes.
• Depreciation tax shield = DT
– D = depreciation expense
– T = marginal tax rate
Trang 17Computing depreciation
• Prime cost (straight-line) depreciation
– D = (Initial cost –Salvage)/Number of
years
– Most assets are depreciated straight-line
to zero for tax purposes.
• Diminishing value depreciation
– Need to know which depreciation rate is
appropriate for tax purposes.
– Multiply percentage by the written-down
value at the beginning of the year.
Trang 18• After-tax salvage = Salvage –
T(salvage – book value).
Trang 19Tax effect on salvage
• Net salvage cash flow
Trang 20Example:
Depreciation and after-tax salvage
• Car purchased for $12 000
• 8-year property
• Marginal tax rate = 30%

If sold at EOY 5 for $5100:
NSCF = 5100 - (5100 – 4249.11)(.3) = $4844.733
If sold at EOY 2 for $4600:
NSCF = 4600 - (4600 – 7921.88)(.3) = $ 5596.564

Trang 27– Forecasting risk—how sensitive is our
NPV to changes in the cash flow
estimates? The more sensitive, the greater the forecasting risk.
– Sources of value—why does this project
Trang 28Scenario analysis
• What happens to the NPV under different cash flow scenarios?
• At the very least, look at:
– Best case—revenues are high and costs are low
– Worst case—revenues are low and costs are high
– Measure of the range of possible outcomes
• Best case and worst case are not
Trang 31Sensitivity analysis
• What happens to NPV when we vary
one variable at a time?
• This is a subset of scenario analysis,
where we look at the effects of specific variables on NPV.
• The greater the volatility in NPV in
relation to a specific variable, the larger the forecasting risk associated with that variable and the more attention we
want to pay to its estimation.

Trang 34Disadvantages of sensitivity and scenario
analysis
• Neither provides a decision rule
– No indication of whether a project’s
expected return is sufficient to
compensate for its risk.
• Ignores diversification
– Measures only stand-alone risk,
which may not be the most relevant
risk in capital budgeting.
Trang 35Making a decision
• Beware of ‘analysis paralysis’.
• At some point you have to make a
decision.
• If the majority of your scenarios have
positive NPVs, you may feel
reasonably comfortable about
accepting the project.
• If you have a crucial variable that leads
to a negative NPV with a small change
Trang 37Capital rationing
• Capital rationing occurs when a firm or division has limited resources.
– Soft rationing—the limited resources are
temporary, often self-imposed.
– Hard rationing—capital will never be
available for this project (this also implies
an infinite cost of capital).
• The profitability index is a useful tool
when faced with soft rationing.
