Capital budgeting techniques are used to assess the project for its financial feasibility. A project generally comprises cash outflow in the terms of initial investment followed by a series of cash inflows till the life of the project. Such cash flows are projected on certain assumptions. Here in the case of Adidas Inc, the project of expansion of operations are also based on certain assumptions like –
· The firm is looking to expand its operations by 10% of the firm's net property, plant, and equipment.
· The estimated life of this new property, plant, and equipment will be 12 years. The salvage value of the equipment will be 5% of the property, plant and equipment's cost.
· The annual EBIT for this new project will be 18% of the project's cost.
· The company will use the straight-line method to depreciate this equipment. Also there will be no increases in net working capital each year.
· Tax rate is taken as 35%
· WACC or hurdle rate is taken as 3.65% on analyst’s estimate.
Therefore, on the basis on most recent company’s annual report, following projections are made-
Calculation of cash flow per year (t=0 to t=11)
EBIT
$40,266,000
Less: tax@35%
$14,093,100
Net Income
$26,172,900
Add: Depreciation
$18,641,667
Cash flow
$44,814,567
After tax cash flow due to sales of Equipment in t = 12
$7,270,250
Cash flow in 12th year (t=12)
$52,084,817
Once, the cash flows are projected for the entire duration of projects, capital budgeting tools are used to assess its financial feasibility. Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Profitability Index (PI), Payback Period, Discounted Payback Period are some of the major tools for assessment. Their mathematical models are discussed as below –
