Learning Objective
Capital Expenditures
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018
3
Investments of financial resources in projects
To develop or introduce new products or services
To expand current production or service capacity, or
To change current production or service facilities
Made with the expectation that the new product, process, or service will generate future financial inflows that exceed initial costs
Capital Budgeting
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018
4
A process that involves
The identification of potentially desirable projects for capital expenditures
The subsequent evaluation of capital expenditure proposals, and
The selection of proposals that meet certain criteria
Effective Capital Budgeting
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018
5
Long-range planning is necessary since models involve cash flows over several years
Well-defined business strategy guides a company’s capital expenditure decisions
Capital Budgeting Procedures

6
Management of Capital Budgeting
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018
7
Management should develop procedures for review, evaluation, approval, and post-audit of capital expenditure proposals
Capital budgeting committee
Provides management guidance in formulation of capital expenditure proposals
May preauthorize certain types and amounts of proposals with guidelines
Post-Audit of Capital Budgeting
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018
8
Involves the development of project performance reports comparing planned and actual results
Reports should be provided to those involved with the proposal
To help keep the project on target
To help identify the need to reevaluate the project if the initial analysis is in error or significant changes occur
To improve investment proposal quality
To help the capital budgeting committee better evaluate proposals

Occurs at the end of the project’s life when assets are disposed of for their salvage value and any initial investment of working capital is recovered
Includes all cash operating receipts and expenditures during operations
Includes all cash expenditures necessary to begin operations
Initial Investment

Disinvestment
Predicted Cash Flow Analysis Example
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018
12
Bates’ Limo is considering the purchase of a new limo with these predicted cash flows:
| Initial investment (time 0): | ||
| Limo purchase | $84,000 | |
| Working capital | 2,500 | |
| Total | $86,500 |
| Operations (per year for 4 years): | |||
| Sales | $105,000 | ||
| Cash operating costs: | |||
| Fuel and maintenance | $21,600 | ||
| Insurance | 2,300 | ||
| Driver's salary | 53,000 | 76,900 | |
| Net annual cash flows | $28,100 |
| Disinvestment (end of 4 years): | |||
| Sale of limo | $12,000 | ||
| Recovery of working capital | 1,000 | ||
| Total disinvestment | $13,000 |
Calculating Net Present Value
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018
13
Present value of the project’s net cash inflows from operations
+ Present value of the disinvestment cash flows
– Amount of the initial investment
NET PRESENT VALUE
Cash flows are adjusted for time value of money, using a discount rate (the minimum rate of return required for the project to be acceptable).
Initial investment occurs at time 0
All other cash flows occur at end of each year
Net Present Value Assumptions

14
Disinvestment
Treated as a lump-sum amount
Operations
Treated as an annuity (if equal in amount each year)
Initial Investment
Treated as a lump-sum amount
Net Present Value Approaches
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018
15
Table Approach
Select factors from Tables 25A.1 and 25A.2 in Appendix 25A
Spreadsheet Approach
Use built in NPV function
Input required for the discount rate and cash flow amounts for each period
Net Present Value Table Approach Example
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018
16
Assume Bates Limo uses an 8% discount rate.
| Predicted Cash Inflows (Outflows) | Years(s) of Cash Flows | 8% Present Value Factor | Present Value of Cash Flows | |
| Initial investment | $(86,500) | 0 | 1.00000 | $(86,500) |
| Operations | 28,100 | 1-4 | 3.31213 | 93,071. |
| Disinvestment | 13,000 | 4 | 0.73503 | 9,555. |
| Net present value of all cash flows | $ 16,126. | |||
Table 12A.2
Table 12A.1
Net Present Value Spreadsheet Approach Example
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018
17
Assume Bates Limo uses an 8% discount rate.
$28,100 + $13,000
NPV function: =NPV(0.08, B2:B5)
Because the NPV is positive, this is an acceptable project.
Caution in Using the Spreadsheet Approach
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018
18
NPV spreadsheet formula assumes that the first cash flow occurs at time “1” rather than at time “0,” i.e., omit time 0 cash flow in the formula.
Arrange operating cash flows from top to bottom in a column, or left to right in a row.
Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018
19
Also called the time-adjusted rate of return
The discount rate that equates the present value of the cash inflows with the present value of the cash outflows
The minimum rate that could be paid for the money invested in a project without losing money
The discount rate that results in a project’s net present value equaling zero
Spreadsheet Approach to Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018
20
IRR function: =IRR(B2:B6, 0.08)
The investment will generate an internal rate of return of 15.6%. The IRR should be compared to the required rate of return.
Sometimes requires an initial guess of the project’s rate of return
Cost of Capital
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018
21
The average cost an organization pays to obtain resources necessary to make investments
Considers items such as
Effective interest rate on debt
Effective dividend rate on preferred stock
Discount rate that equates the present value of all dividends expected on common stock over the life of the organization to the current market value of the company’s common stock
Computing the Cost of Equity Capital
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018
22
The cost of capital for a company that has no debt or preferred stock:
Current annual dividend per common share
Current market price per common share
+
Expected dividend growth rate
Cost of equity capital =
Investing in a project that has an IRR greater than the cost of capital should increase the market value of a firm’s securities.

Learning Objective
Payback Period
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018
24
Indicates the time required to recover the initial investment in a project from operations
Acceptable projects must have less than some maximum payback period designated by management
Does not consider the time value of money.

26
For projects with unequal annual operating cash flows
Assume Bates Limo’s net operating cash inflow is $26,000, $27,000, $28,000, and $29,000 in Years 1 through 4, respectively.
Three full years plus a portion of year 4:
$5,500 / $29,000 = 0.19
Recovery period = 3.19 years
Payback period for Bates Limo:
| Year | Net Cash Inflow | Unrecovered Investment |
| 0 | $ 0 | $86,500 |
| 1 | 26,000 | 60,500 |
| 2 | 27,000 | 33,500 |
| 3 | 28,000 | 5,500 |
| 4 | 29,000 |
Accounting Rate of Return
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018
27
Average annual increase in net income that results from acceptance of a capital expenditure proposal divided by the initial investment or the average investment in the project
Focuses on net income, not cash flows
Determining Net Income:
Annual net cash inflow from operations
– Average annual depreciation
Average annual increase in net income
Accounting Rate of Return Example
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018
28
Bates Limo is considering the purchase of a new limo for $84,000 with an estimated disposal value of $12,000 at the end of its useful life of 4 years. The annual operating cash flows total $28,100.
Average annual increase in net income =
| Annual net cash inflow from operations | $ 28,100 |
| Less average annual depreciation: | |
| ($84,000 - $12,000) / 4 years | (18,000) |
| Average annual increase in net income | $ 10,100 |

| Predicted net cash inflow from operations | Project 1 | Project 2 |
| Year 1 | $ 30,000. | $ 5,000. |
| Year 2 | 30,000. | 5,000. |
| Year 3 | 5,000. | 30,000. |

| Average annual increase in income | $ 5,500. | $ 5,500. |
| Increase in investment | ÷ 48,000. | ÷ 48,000. |
| Accounting rate of return on initial investment | 0.1146. | 0.1146. |
While both investments have the same accounting rate of return, receiving cash flows earlier (as in Project 1) is preferable to the timing of the cash flows in Project 2, due to the time value of money.

Risks are often related to…
Cost of the initial investment
Time required to complete the initial investment and begin operations
Whether the new facilities will operate as planned
Life of the facilities
Customers’ demand for the product or service
Final selling price
Operating costs
Disposal values
Risk Analysis Techniques
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018
39
Suggested approaches to assist in capital budgeting risk…
Adjust the discount rate for individual projects based on management’s perception of a project’s risks
Compare several internal rates of return and/or net present values for a project
Subject a capital expenditure proposal to sensitivity analysis
Differential Analysis of Cash Flows
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018
40
Some capital expenditure proposals create no cash inflows, such as
Not-for-profit and government units providing services
For-profit firms maintaining product quality or improving safety standards
Cannot calculate payback period, accounting rate of return and internal rate of return
Solution
Compute the present value of all life cycle costs
Select the investment with the least negative net present value

Taxes in Capital Budgeting Decisions
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018
48
Cost of asset is depreciated over the operating life of an asset
Depreciation reduces income taxes but does not cause cash outflows
Two assumptions in dealing with taxes in capital budgeting decisions
Revenues and operating cash receipts are the same each year
Depreciation is the only noncash expense of an organization
Depreciation Tax Shield
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018
49
Depreciation provides a “tax shield”
Reduces cash payments for income taxes
Depreciation tax shield = Depreciation x Tax rate
EXAMPLE
Depreciation tax shield for Bates Limo, assuming a 30% tax rate:
=
$84,000 – $12,000
