Investment opportunities
Increase shareholder wealth
Enhance a firm’s competitive advantage

Key Reasons for Making Capital Expenditures
Renewal
Replacement
Expansion
Regulatory

Renewal: major repairs, overhauls, rebuilds, retrofits
Replacement
Expansion
Regulatory: e.g., environmental controls, workplace safety standards
Other: office buildings, parking, executive aircraft

Independent projects
Accepting or rejecting one project has no effect on other projects
Cash flows are unrelated
Mutually exclusive projects
Accepting one project is a simultaneous decision to reject another project
These projects typically perform the same function
Example: Build new manufacturing plant in different locations
Contingent projects
Decision to accept one project depends on acceptance of another project
Types of contingent projects
Mandatory projects – evaluate with main as one project
Optional projects – evaluate as separate projects
7
Classifications of Investment Projects
7
Generating proposals
Alignment with strategic plan ideal
Find opportunities; replacement and/or expansion
Reviewed by Finance personnel
Review and analysis
Estimate cash flows (in and out)
Use capital budgeting techniques for evaluation
Decision making
Which projects will be accepted/rejected?
Implementation – make it happen
Post audit and ongoing reviews
Track, review, analyze or audit decisions/projects
8
Capital Budgeting Process
Useful timeline example in Parrino Exhibit 9.2.
8
Best method to evaluate capital projects
Considers time value of money
Includes all of project’s cash flows
Value measures dollar impact on shareholder wealth
NPV inputs
Cash inflows/outflows
Cost of capital (firm’s required rate of return)
Decision Rule: Accept projects with NPV > $0
9
Net Present Value (NPV) Technique
9
NPV Process
Determine initial cost of starting the project
Estimate project’s future net cash flows by year over its expected life (cash inflows minus cash outflows)
Determine appropriate cost of capital based on riskiness of project
Compute project’s NPV
Make decision
Accept projects with NPV > $0
10
NPV = PV (project’s expected future cash flows) – PV (cost of project)
Next week we’ll talk about how cash flows are estimated.

Summary
Net Present Value (NPV) Method
16
16
IRR is the discount rate or “cost of capital” at which NPV = zero
Compute IRR by:
Trial and error
Financial calculator
Spreadsheet software
Easier to compute for annuity cash flows
Decision Rule: Accept if IRR > r
r = required return on project or cost of capital
17
Internal Rate of Return (IRR) Technique
17
Time Line and Expected Net Cash Flows
EXHIBIT 9.8 The cash flow data in the exhibit are used to compute the project’s IRR. The project’s NPV is a positive $16,440, which indicates that the IRR is greater than the cost of capital of 12%.
Parrino text p. 302 demonstrates the trial-and-error method of determining IRR for this project.

PV (future cash flows) = 576.44

IRR: A Final Comment
Summary
22
22
Always agree on whether to accept or reject a project if projects are independent and cash flows are “conventional” (i.e., no sign changes)
If projects are independent: Either method is acceptable
Problem: NPV and IRR may rank projects differently
Lemonade stand vs. convenience store (Parrino p. 309)
What if projects are mutually exclusive and rankings conflict?
Answer: Use NPV because it measures change in shareholder wealth
23
NPV vs. IRR
| Investment | NPV | IRR | |
| Convenience store | $1,000,000 | $179,190 | 18.0% |
| Lemonade stand | 1,000 | 1,694 | 76.2% |
23
A project may have more than one IRR
Occurs if project has alternative positive and negative future cash flows (i.e., more than one sign change)
Most likely to occur if project requires:
Substantial renovations or maintenance during its life (periodic cash outflows)
High end-of-life shut-down costs
Solution? MIRR
Find the Terminal Value (TV): future value at project’s end of all future net cash flows
MIRR is the return earned when the PV of COF = PV of CIF
PV (cost of project) = PV (future net cash flows)
Decision Rule: Accept if MIRR > r
r = required return on project or cost of capital
24
Problems with IRR
Solution: Modified IRR (MIRR)

Measures the value a project generates for each dollar invested in that project
PI value indicate the value of the expected future free cash flows per dollar invested in each project
Useful when firms have funding constraints (i.e., capital rationing)
Choose a set of projects consistent with the idea of shareholder wealth maximization
Can lead to suboptimal project choices in situations involving multiple periods
More sophisticated analytical techniques (such as linear programming) beyond scope of this course
Profitability Index
34
See Parrino pp. 313=314 regarding issues with use of PI for multiple-period decisions.
34
Profitability Index Analysis Process
Calculate the PI for each project.
Rank projects from highest PI to lowest PI.
Starting at top of list (project with highest PI) and working your way down the list, select the projects the firm can afford.
Repeat the third step by starting with the second project on the list, then the third project on the list, and so on, to make sure that a more valuable bundle cannot be identified.
PI = Benefits = Present value of future free cash flows = NPV + Initial investment (9.6)
Costs Initial investment Initial investment

Profitability Index Examples
Calculating PI and Ranking Projects Using PI
| Project | Year 0 | Year 1 | Year 2 | NPV @ 10% | PI* |
| A | $(5,000) | $5,500 | $6,050 | $5,000 | ? |
| B | (3,000) | 2,000 | 3,850 | 2,000 | ? |
| C | (3,000) | 4,400 | 0 | 1,000 | ? |
| D | (2,000) | 1,500 | 1,375 | 500 | ? |
With only $10,000 to invest, which of these four positive NPV projects would you select?
How much shareholder value would be added by the projects you select? $__________
* PI = NPV + Initial investment
Initial investment
?
36
PI (Project A) = (5000 + 5000) / 5000 = 2.000
PI (Project B) = (2000 + 3000) / 3000 = 1.667
PI (Project C) = (1000 + 3000) / 3000 = 1.333
PI (Project D) = (500 + 2000) / 2000 = 1.250
Choose Projects A, B and D
Total investment = $10,000
Total shareholder value added = $7,500
Begin by choosing A and B because there is enough money for them.
Since choosing A and B means there is not enough money for C, skip C and choose D.
No other combination has a larger NPV than A, B and D.
36
Systematic reviews of all ongoing and completed capital projects
Post-audit reviews of completed projects
Comparison of actual results of a project with what was projected in the capital budgeting proposal
May reveal why a project was successful or failed to achieve its financial goals
Ongoing reviews of projects in progress
Challenge the business plan, including cash flow projections and cost assumptions
Progress updates on actual costs and time vs. projections
Evaluate the performance of people responsible for implementing a capital project
Post-Audit and Ongoing Reviews
