A company is evaluating the purchase of a machine to improve product quality and output levels. The new machine would cost $1.6 million and would be depreciated for tax purposes using the straight-line method over an estimated six-year life to its expected salvage value of $100,000. The new machine would require an addition of $70,000 to working capital at the beginning of the project, which will of course be returned to the firm at the end of the project. In each year of the machine's life, the machine would increase the company's pre-tax cash receipts by $400,000 from their current level. During each of the six years, cash operating costs would increase by $15,000 from their current level. In addition, at the end of the 4th year, a major repair of the machine costing $40,000 (pre-tax) would be required. The company has a 8% overall cost of capital and is in the 35% marginal tax bracket. Part 1: Prepare a Cash Flow Spreadsheet that identifies the incremental cash flows for each year of the machine's life. Part 2: Calculate the investment's net present value (NPV). Part 3: Calculate the investment's internal rate of return (IRR). Part 4: Should the company purchase the machine? Why or why not? PowerPoint Presentation Chapter 11 Capital Budgeting Welcome to chapter 11 on capital budgeting. Having determined the cost of capital in chapter 10, we now turn to the specific steps involved in determining whether or not invest in a certain project. This process is called capital budgeting. * Capital Budgeting Defined The process of discovering, evaluating, and deciding whether to pursue investments in long-term assets When we think about it, capital budgeting is at the heart of what business firms do. They get money from investors, and use this money to invest in assets that promise to yield returns higher than what they paid for the money. This chapter attempts to quantify this process in a reasonable way. * The Importance of Capital Budgeting It involves large amounts of money It has a major impact on financing needs It has long-lasting effects on the firm’s competitive position This is just a reminder that capital budgeting does not operate in a vacuum. Instead, it is affected by a variety of things and affects other things as well. * Eight Rules Use cash flow numbers only Use incremental numbers only Include changes in every functional area Include changes across the full life cycle Include forecasted inflation Consider the impact on quality Consider the implicit options Do not include financing cash flows Of these 8 rules, perhaps the last one is the most confusing for students. The point here is that we should not include the cash flows associated with principal and interest payments on borrowed funds because these cash flows are already implicitly accounted for in the interest rate used to discount the cash flows. * Three Categories of Cash Flows Time Zero Cash Flows Annual Cash Flows from Operations Terminal Cash Flows It is in this chapter where we start making considerable use of the cash flow spreadsheet that was introduced earlier in the course. You will notice that the spreadsheet, as presented on page 274 of the textbook, has three columns representing the three types of cash flows that might occur. Quite often, the annual cash flows will be an annuity that can be dealt with quite easily. * Time Zero Cash Flows Cash flows from purchasing an asset Cash flows from selling an existing asset Working Capital outlay As we think about the cash flows at time zero, we need to remember that there may be tax implications of selling an old asset that may be included in this category as well. So, in other words, when we sell an asset, there are two kinds of cash flows that take place. First is the cash coming in from the sale, and second is the tax payment or benefit from the recognition of the gain or loss on the sale. Both of these need to be accounted for. * Annual Cash Flows from Operations Changed inflows and/or outflows over the lifetime of the new and/or old assets Taxes paid or saved due to the changed operating cash flows Tax savings from depreciation On a year-to-year basis, we need to account for both the regular cash flows and the tax effects of those cash flows. And then we will also have the tax savings brought about by the depreciation of the asset. Please remember that depreciation is not itself a cash flow, but it does save the company in taxes. Thus the depreciation times the tax rate is called a tax shield, and this amount can be added in the spreadsheet as a cash inflow on an annual basis. * Terminal Cash Flows Sale price of asset Tax based on sale Return of working capital And then at the end of the project we typically have the items that pertain to the winding up of the project. Again, only the incremental amounts show up in the spreadsheet. * Common Changes to Cash Flows in Capital Budgeting Here is a very detailed account of the various cash flows associated with a typical project, along with how each of these cash flows is treated in the cash flow spreadsheet. We have pretty much addressed each of these in the previous slides. If you have trouble reading this, page 273 has a more readable table. * Sheet1 Cash flowTreatment Cash flows from purchasing an assetInitial costCash outflow when purchased Tax savings due to depreciationCash inflow (reduced outflow) each year depreciation may be taken Terminal valueCash inflow when the asset is sold (adjusted by tax if a capital gain or loss is reported) Cash flows from selling an existing assetSale priceCash inflow when sold Tax on saleCash outflow if a gain on sale is reported; cash inflow (reduced outflow) if a loss on sale is reported Tax savings forgone due to no longer being able to depreciate the assetCash outflow (increased taxes) each year depreciation would have been taken if the asset were not sold Terminal value forgone from no longer having the asset to sell on its original termination dateCash outflow (lost cash inflow) Cash flows from operationsChanged recepits or payments from having the new asset and/or not having the old assetCash inflows and/or outflows over the lifetime of the new and/or old asset(s) Taxes paid or saved as changed receipts and payments enter the tax return as changes to incomeCash inflows and/or outlfows over the lifetime of the new and/or old asset(s) Cash flows from the investment in supporting working capitalThe cost of acquiring additional working capital when a new asset is puchasedCash outflow when the asset, and hence the supporting working capital, is purchased The cash from selling working capital no longer required when an asset is soldCash inflow when the asset, and hence the supporting working capital, is sold Sheet2 Sheet3 B S O W Time 0Years 1-XYear X Buy Sell Operating Flows Working Capital In an attempt to help us remember the items to think about in the cash flow spreadsheet, I have devised this short memory aid. These are the major headings of the items that may need to go into the spreadsheet. The depreciation tax shield would normally go in the Buy or Sell categories. The spreadsheet can, of course, by used for analyzing the purchase of a new asset or a proposal to replace an old asset with a new asset. * NPV Method The present value of all benefits less the

the proposed investment the irr method also uses the very same numbers from the bottom of the cash flow worksheet. the internal rate of return method gives us the answer in terms of an interest rate that can then be compared against other alternative investments. * choosing a discount rate each project has its own level of risk, hence one cost of capital may not be appropriate for the analysis of all a firm’s projects here we are recognizing the possibility that we may want to adjust the required rate of return in order to account for projects that appear to be more risky that the projects ordinarily accepted by the firm. * the appropriate cost of capital is a function of beta interestingly, there is a risk associated with not accepting projects that do meet the requirements of the firm, and another risk for accepting projects that do not meet the requirements. the firm does a sort of balancing act between these two risks. * category cash flow treatment initial cost cash outflow
