Document Summary

Impact of inflation: some cash flow items that should not be included but are often included by mistake are, sunk costs, fixed overhead costs, financing costs. Compounding free cash flows: the usual calculation is, this is often called the top-down approach, textbook examples often assume that incremental ebitda is fixed over the life of the project. Cca d ucc t where d the cca depreciation rate. The net salvage value of an asset sold for an amount s is given by. E the ending ucc for the year d t c. R d the corporate tax rate the cost of capital for the project. R: this formula adjusts for the pv of future taxes associated with the reduction in ucc due to the asset sale. Example: nomar paine medicines purchased a ,000 phone system in 2015, this phone system falls into a 30% cca class and has a 10% cost of capital.

Given a project's expected cash flows, it is easy to calculate its NPV, IRR, MIRR, payback, and discounted payback. Cash flows are estimated based on information from various sources. There is uncertainty in a project's forecasted cash flows, and some projects are more uncertain and thus riskier than others. In this chapter, we illustrate how project cash flows are estimated, discuss techniques for measuring risk, and discuss how to choose between projects that have significantly different lives, are mutually exclusive, and can be repeated.

The most critical step in capital budgeting analysis is cash flow estimation.

The key is to focus on only

a. relevant

b. net income

c. incremental accounting income or

d. incremental cash flows.

Factors that complicate the analysis are sunk costs, opportunity costs, externalities, changes in net operating working capital, and salvage values. Adjustments to the analysis must be made for

a. inflation

b. interest

c. dividends

We concentrate on expansion project analyses here but there are similarities when analyzing replacement projects.

Give the correct response to each of the following questions.

Which of the following items should be included in the capital budgeting analysis?
a. Sunk costs

b. Interest payments

c. Dividend payments

d. Opportunity costs

An outlay that was incurred in the past and cannot be recovered in the future regardless of whether the project under consideration is accepted is known as
a. Opportunity cost

b. Externality

c. Sunk cost

d. Cannibalization

Which of the following is an example of an opportunity cost?
a. A publisher introduces a new textbook which reduces sales of one of their existing textbooks.
b. A firm has land that can be used in building a new store. If the new store is not built, the firm could sell the land for $2 million (net of taxes).
c. Apple's investment in the iTunes music store boosted sales of its iPod.
d. The cost of a report done 2 years ago to investigate the potential of a new plant and the permits required to build it.
e. Statements a and d are both examples of opportunity costs.

Which of the following should be included in the capital budgeting decision

Select one:

A. Sunk costs

B. Opportunity costs

C. Relevant externalities

D. #2 and #3 should be included

E. All of the above should be included

Which of the following is NOT correct

Select one:

A. If an investment project would make use of land which the firm already owns, the opportunity cost of the land is a relevant cash flow and should be included with other project cash flows

B. Analysis of capital projects focuses on cash flows rather than accounting income

C. Changes in working capital do not need to be considered in capital project analysis

D. All of the above are correct

Stock dividends

Select one:

B. must be accompanied by cash dividends

C. are viewed unfavorably by investors and thus should not be used

D. have the same effect on financial statements as cash dividends

A project has initial costs of $5,000 and subsequent cash inflows of $1800, 1275, 1875, and 1525. The company's cost of capital is 10%. Calculate the Payback Period for the project

Problem 12-9
New project analysis

You must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The base price is $164,000, and shipping and installation costs would add another $7,000. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $82,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The machine would require a $7,500 increase in net operating working capital (increased inventory less increased accounts payable). There would be no effect on revenues, but pretax labor costs would decline by $41,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 35%, and the WACC is 11%. Also, the firm spent $5,000 last year investigating the feasibility of using the machine.

How should the $5,000 spent last year be handled?

The cost of research is an incremental cash flow and should be included in the analysis.

Only the tax effect of the research expenses should be included in the analysis.

Last year's expenditure should be treated as a terminal cash flow and dealt with at the end of the project's life. Hence, it should not be included in the initial investment outlay.

Last year's expenditure is considered an opportunity cost and does not represent an incremental cash flow. Hence, it should not be included in the analysis.

Last year's expenditure is considered a sunk cost and does not represent an incremental cash flow. Hence, it should not be included in the analysis.
