Capital Budgeting

Net Present Value and Other Investment Criteria

Prepared by Dr. Vigdis Boasson

Objectives

Compute the net present value and understand why it is the best decision criterion

Compute payback and discounted payback and understand their shortcomings

Understand accounting rates of return and their shortcomings

Compute the internal rate of return and understand its strengths and weaknesses

Compute the profitability index and understand its strengths and weaknesses

Main Topics

Net Present Value

The Payback Rule

The Discounted Payback

The Average Accounting Return

The Internal Rate of Return

The Profitability Index

Net Present Value (NPV)

Net Present Value (NPV) =

Total PV of future CF’s + Initial Investment

Minimum Acceptance Criteria: Accept if NPV > 0

Ranking Criteria: Choose the highest NPV

Project Example

You are looking at a new project and you have estimated the following cash flows:

Year 0: CF = -165,000

Year 1: CF = 63,120; NI = 13,620

Year 2: CF = 70,800; NI = 3,300

Year 3: CF = 91,080; NI = 29,100

Average Book Value = 72,000

Your required return for assets of this risk is 12%.

8.5

9-6

Computing NPV for the Project

Using the formulas:

NPV = 63,120/(1.12) + 70,800/(1.12)2 + 91,080/(1.12)3 – 165,000 = 12,627.42

Using the calculator (TI- BA-II plus ):

CF0 = -165,000; C01 = 63,120; F01 = 1; C02 = 70,800; F02 = 1; C03 = 91,080; F03 = 1; NPV; I = 12; CPT NPV = 12,627.42

Do we accept or reject the project?

8.6

Calculating NPVs with Spreadsheets

Using the NPV function

The first component is the required return.

The second component is the range of cash flows beginning with year 1

Add the initial investment after computing the NPV.

8.7

Payback Period

How long does it take the project to “pay back” its initial investment?

Payback Period = number of years to recover initial costs

Decision Rule: Accept if the payback period is less than some preset limit

9-9

Computing Payback Period

Assume we will accept the project if it pays back within two years.

Year 1: 165,000 – 63,120 = 101,880 still to recover

Year 2: 101,880 – 70,800 = 31,080 still to recover

Year 3: 31,080 – 91,080 = -60,000 project pays back in year 3

Do we accept or reject the project?

8.9

Advantages and Disadvantages of Payback

Advantages

Easy to understand

Adjusts for uncertainty of later cash flows

Biased toward liquidity

Disadvantages

Ignores the time value of money

Requires an arbitrary cutoff point

Ignores cash flows beyond the cutoff date

Biased against long-term projects.

Discounted Payback Period

How long does it take the project to “pay back” its initial investment, taking the time value of money into account?

Decision Rule - Accept the project if it pays back on a discounted basis within the specified time.

9-12

Computing Discounted Payback Period

Assume we will accept the project if it pays back on a discounted basis in 2 years.

Compute the PV for each cash flow and determine the payback period using discounted cash flows

Year 1: 165,000 – 63,120/1.121 = 108,643

Year 2: 108,643 – 70,800/1.122 = 52,202

Year 3: 52,202 – 91,080/1.123 = -12,627 project pays back in year 3

Do we accept or reject the project?

8.12

Average Accounting Return

Ignores time value of money

Decision Rule:

Accept the project if the AAR is greater than a preset rate.

8.13

9-14

Computing AAR For The Project

Assume we require an average accounting return of 25%

Average Net Income:

(13,620 + 3,300 + 29,100) / 3 = 15,340

AAR = 15,340 / 72,000 = .213 = 21.3%

Do we accept or reject the project?

8.14

Internal Rate of Return

Definition: IRR: the return that sets NPV = 0

Decision Rule:

Accept the project if the IRR is greater than the required return.

Enter the cash flows as you did with NPV

Press IRR and then CPT

IRR = 16.13% > 12% required return

Do we accept or reject the project?

8.15

9-16

NPV Profile For The Project

IRR = 16.13%

Calculating IRR with Spreadsheets

You start with the cash flows the same as you did for the NPV.

You use the IRR function:

You first enter your range of cash flows, beginning with the initial cash flow.

You can enter a guess, but it is not necessary.

The default format is a whole percent – you will normally want to increase the decimal places to at least two.

17

Problem with IRR

NPV and IRR will generally give us the same decision

Exceptions

Non-conventional cash flows

– cash flow signs change more than once

Mutually exclusive projects

If you choose one, you can’t choose the other

Multiple IRRs

There are two IRRs for this project:

0 1 2 3

$200 $800

-$200

- $800

100% = IRR2

0% = IRR1

Which one should we use?

19

9-20

Mutually Exclusive Projects

Period Project A Project B
0 -500 -400
1 325 325
2 325 200
IRR 19.43% 22.17%
NPV 64.05 60.74

The required return for both projects is 10%.

Which project should you accept and why?

8.20

The Profitability Index (PI)

Minimum Acceptance Criteria: Accept if PI > 1

Ranking Criteria: Select a project with highest PI

Disadvantages:

Problems with mutually exclusive investments

21

9-22

Summary – Discounted Cash Flow Criteria

Net present value

Difference between market value and cost

Take the project if the NPV is positive

Has no serious problems

Preferred decision criterion

Internal rate of return

Discount rate that makes NPV = 0

Take the project if the IRR is greater than the required return

Same decision as NPV with conventional cash flows

IRR is unreliable with non-conventional cash flows or mutually exclusive projects

Profitability Index

Benefit-cost ratio

Take investment if PI > 1

Cannot be used to rank mutually exclusive projects

May be used to rank projects in the presence of capital rationing
