Capital Budgeting,the process of planning
for purchases of long-term assets,
? example,
Our firm must decide whether to purchase a
new plastic molding machine for $127,000,
How do we decide?
? Will the machine be profitable?
? Will our firm earn a high rate of return on
the investment?
? The relevant project information follows,
? The cost of the new machine is $127,000,
? Installation will cost $20,000,
? $4,000 in net working capital will be needed at
the time of installation,
? The project will increase revenues by $85,000 per
year,but operating costs will increase by 35% of
the revenue increase,
? Simplified straight line depreciation is used,
? Class life is 5 years,and the firm is planning to
keep the project for 5 years,
? Salvage value at the end of year 5 will be $50,000,
? 14% cost of capital; 34% marginal tax rate,
Capital Budgeting Steps
1) Evaluate Cash Flows
Look at all incremental cash flows
occurring as a result of the project,
? Initial outlay
? Differential Cash Flows over the life
of the project (also referred to as
annual cash flows),
? Terminal Cash Flows

2) Evaluate the risk of the project,
? We’ll get to this in the next chapter,
? For now,we’ll assume that the risk of the
project is the same as the risk of the
overall firm,
? If we do this,we can use the firm’s cost of
capital as the discount rate for capital
investment projects,

5 capital investment projects for
your company,

has given you a limited capital
budget,

projects to select?

Capital Rationing
? Ranking projects by IRR is not
always the best way to deal with a
limited capital budget,
? It’s better to pick the largest NPVs,
? Let’s try ranking projects by NPV,
Problems with Project Ranking
1) Mutually exclusive projects of unequal
size (the size disparity problem)
? The NPV decision may not agree with
IRR or PI,
? Solution,select the project with the
largest NPV,
Size Disparity example
Project A
year cash flow
0 (135,000)
1 60,000
2 60,000
3 60,000
required return = 12%
IRR = 15.89%
NPV = $9,110
PI = 1.07
Size Disparity example
Project B
year cash flow
0 (30,000)
1 15,000
2 15,000
3 15,000
required return = 12%
IRR = 23.38%
NPV = $6,027
PI = 1.20

NPV = $9,110
PI = 1.07
Problems with Project Ranking
2) The time disparity problem with mutually
exclusive projects,
? NPV and PI assume cash flows are
reinvested at the required rate of return for
the project,
? IRR assumes cash flows are reinvested at
the IRR,
? The NPV or PI decision may not agree with
the IRR,
? Solution,select the largest NPV,
Time Disparity example
Project A
year cash flow
0 (48,000)
1 1,200
2 2,400
3 39,000
4 42,000

Mutually Exclusive Investments with
Unequal Lives
? Suppose our firm is planning to
expand and we have to select 1 of 2
machines,
? They differ in terms of economic life
and capacity,
? How do we decide which machine to
select?
? The after-tax cash flows are,
Year Machine 1 Machine 2
0 (45,000) (45,000)
1 20,000 12,000
2 20,000 12,000
3 20,000 12,000
4 12,000
5 12,000
6 12,000
? Assume a required return of 14%,
Step 1,Calculate NPV
? NPV1 = $1,433
? NPV2 = $1,664
? So,does this mean #2 is better?
? No! The two NPVs can’t be
compared!
Step 2,Equivalent Annual
Annuity (EAA) method
? If we assume that each project will be
replaced an infinite number of times in the
future,we can convert each NPV to an
annuity,
? The projects’ EAAs can be compared to
determine which is the best project!
? EAA,Simply annuitize the NPV over the
project’s life,
EAA with your calculator,
? Simply,spread the NPV over the life
of the project”
? Machine 1,PV = 1433,N = 3,I = 14,
solve,PMT = -617.24,
? Machine 2,PV = 1664,N = 6,I = 14,
solve,PMT = -427.91,
? EAA1 = $617
? EAA2 = $428
? This tells us that,
? NPV1 = annuity of $617 per year,
? NPV2 = annuity of $428 per year,
? So,we’ve reduced a problem with
different time horizons to a couple of
annuities,
? Decision Rule,Select the highest EAA,
We would choose machine #1,
Step 3,Convert back to NPV ?
Step 3,Convert back to NPV
? Assuming infinite replacement,the
EAAs are actually perpetuities,Get the
PV by dividing the EAA by the required
rate of return,
?
Step 3,Convert back to NPV
? Assuming infinite replacement,the
EAAs are actually perpetuities,Get the
PV by dividing the EAA by the required
rate of return,
? NPV 1 = 617/.14 = $4,407 ?
?
Step 3,Convert back to NPV
? Assuming infinite replacement,the
EAAs are actually perpetuities,Get the
PV by dividing the EAA by the required
rate of return,
? NPV 1 = 617/.14 = $4,407
? NPV 2 = 428/.14 = $3,057
?
?
?
Step 3,Convert back to NPV
? Assuming infinite replacement,the
EAAs are actually perpetuities,Get the
PV by dividing the EAA by the required
rate of return,
? NPV 1 = 617/.14 = $4,407
? NPV 2 = 428/.14 = $3,057
? This doesn’t change the answer,of
course; it just converts EAA to a NPV
that can be compared,
