ADMS 3530 Lecture Notes - Capital Budgeting, Sunk Costs, Tax Shield
Document Summary
Incremental cash flow is the difference between the cash flow with the project and the cash flow without project. Lost sales (by one product on the other) = sales erosion. Increase in sales( by one product on the other) = sales synergy. Sunk cost: cost that is already past and cannot be reversed. In finance, the cost of the land would be ,000 and not ,000. Working capital: a lump-sum invested today and recover at project completion. Or we could have working capital invested for three years and then recovered in the last two years. (eg) Adjusted present value (apv) considers the interaction of the investment and the financing decisions. Depreciation tax shield: cf from op= (rev-exp)*(1-t) +(dep*t) We have a tax shield for depreciation because it is a non cash expense which helps in reducing income . Therefore this is a non cash tax shield. Total cash flow = ocf + change in nwc.
