Document Summary

Other investment criteria: j. ourso college of business. Capital budgeting decision: evaluation and choice of investment projects. = expected rate of return given up by investing in the project. Evaluate the projects using one of the following methods. Select a project using one of these selection rules. The net present value (npv) of a project is the present value of its cash flows discounted at the opportunity cost of capital minus initial investment n. Npv 0 accept the project if the. Therefore, if the projects are independent, accept both. Note: npv declines as r increases and npv rises as r decreases. The internal rate of return (irr) is the discount rate at which project npv=0. n t. The irr selection rule: accept the project if the. Therefore, if the projects are independent, accept both (both irrs > 10%). If the projects are mutually exclusive, accept project. Note: irr is independent of the required rate of return.

You are a financial analyst for the Waffle Company. The director of capital budgeting has asked you to analyze two proposed capital investments, Projects A and B. Each project has a cost of $50,000, and the cost of capital for each is 10%.

The projects’ expected net cash flows are as follows:

	Expected Net Cash Flows
Year	Project A	Project B
0	($50,000)	($50,000)
1	25,000	15,000
2	20,000	15,000
3	10,000	15,000
4	5,000	15,000
5	5,000	15,000

Calculate each project’s payback period, net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), modified internal rate of return (MIRR), and profitability index (PI).

Capital budgeting involves choosing projects that add value to the firm. The net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR) and payback period methods are the most common approaches to project selection. At its core, capital budgeting is measuring an accounting of costs versus benefits. In a way, all business decisions are a series of capital budgeting decisions. Get it wrong, and you can destroy a company.

The capital budgeting tools help financial managers decide on the desirability of the projects. In the real world, however, managers sometimes will make decisions that don't necessarily agree with the decision rules of the payback period, NPV or IRR methods.

For example, consider the two mutually exclusive projects below.

Investments	Cost	Cash Flow 1	Cash Flow 2
Project A	$ 50	$ -	$ 100
Project B	$ 50	$ 50	$ 25

According to the payback period, project B should be selected. Although both projects cost the same, project B has a payback period of one period, while project A will payback in roughly 1.5 periods.

Assuming the discount rate of 5%, NPV(A) = $41 and NPV(B) = $20.

This example illustrates the limitations of the payback period method. Even though the payback period method points to project B, the NPV method points to project A since it has more than twice the NPV value to that of project B. Yet the manager may choose project A. Why?

It may be that the project stakeholder is requesting a quicker return in cash.

For this discussion, create an example problem where two (or more) methods contradict each other. What would be the "appropriate" choice (which project would you choose)? In what cases would you not choose the "best" choice?

MIRR (Combination Approach: Use discount rate given and reinvestment rate of 8%) 2. Assuming independent projects, provide an accept/reject decision for each capital budgeting tool a. Assume payback period criteria is 2.5 years b. Assume discounted payback period criteria is 3 years 3. Assuming mutually exclusive projects, which project should be selected? Why?
