2. Estimate cash flows from the proposed investment 3. Evaluate the cash flows: Accept or Reject
Most firms stops here.
4. Continual Reevaluation:
A rejected project may become acceptable: As the discount rate goes down, the NPV goes up. Cut the losses - develop abandonment criterior in advance Sunk costs are irrelevant in decision making Personal ego to push for project is not value maximizing behavior.

Cash Flow = PNI + NoncashExpenses = PNI + Depreciation = $270 + $150 = $420 Alternatively Cash Flow = (R - OC - D) x (1 - T) + D = (R - OC) x (1 - T) + T x D = (1000 - 400) x 0.6 + 0.4 x 150 = $420

3. Evaluation Criterior
Once CFs, incremental after tax net CF, are determined, an investment project can be evaluated. Investment Characteristics will be important in later discussions.

Types of Investment Independent projects: The evaluation of a project is independent of any other projects, i.e., A or B or Both in accept-reject decision Mutually exclusive projects:
Only one project can be accepted, i.e., A or B, but not Both: gas heater or oil heater Capital Constraint: Example: Up to $1 million available for investment. This means that not all the good projects can be accepted.

NPV, PI, and IRR use Discount Cash Flow (DCF) technique. For each one of the five methods, we will discuss:
The way each measure is calculated The way each measure is used Advantages Disadvantages
IV - 11
Establish a Required ARR. Rank, Accept or Reject a project by comparing to the reqd ARR 3. Advantage: Simple to calculate based on accounting income (readily available information)
4. Disadvantages:
Ignores Cash Flows by using Accounting income Ignores Time Value of Money by using Average Income
Example 1: Projects A and B both cost $9,000 and have a 3 year project life. Compare the two project using ARR criterior. Project A Project B Period Net Income Net CF Net Income Net CF 1 $3,000 $6,000 $1,000 $4,000 2 $2,000 $5,000 $2,000 $5,000 3 $1,000 $4,000 $3,000 $6,000 AvgInv = (9000+6000+3000+0)/4 = 4500 ARRA = ARRB = 2000/4500 = 44.44% However, A is preferable B because PV(CF A) > PVCFB)
IV - 12
2. How to Apply:
Establish a maximum acceptable payback period. Rank by payback period. Accept (or Reject) a project with a PB shorter(or longer) than the maximum acceptable PB
3. Advantage:
Simple to calculate Uses CFs Maybe useful if liquidity is a problem Maybe useful as supplement to other evaluation methods

3.3.1. Payback Period (PB) - continued 4. Disadvantages: (i) Ignores CFs after the PB period.
Project Cost = $10,000 Period CFA CFB 1 $5,000 $5,000 2 $3,000 $3,000 3 $2,000 $2,000 4 $1,000 $1,000,000 5 $0 $2,000 PBA = PBB = 3 yrs. However, CFB is better than CFA
Payback period: may be viewed as a constraint to be satisfied, rather than a measure of profitability to be maximized.

USE OF IRR METHOD Accept if IRR >= k, (cost of capital) Reject if IRR < k, (cost of capital) Rank by IRR k, risk adjusted cost of capital: No clear cut way of determination. Risk is estimated.
k=10%

Risk
Assuming the required rate, or discount rate adjusted for the risk level of projects A and B is 10%: Accept the project A : IRRA > k =10% Reject the project B : IRRB < k =10%

Non-conventional cash flows: Conventional case: s r r r . . . r Non-conventional case: s r s r r s . . . s Non-conventional CFs can result in multiple IRR values.

Change in signs of CFs over time - complicates analysis
Example: Should you accept a project with the following cash flows? CF0= -1,600, CF1= +10,000, CF2= -10,000 ? Assume k=20% ANS:
With trial and error method, we find IRR = 25% and 400% . Since both IRR > k, the project should be accepted. But wrong. NPV = - 211.11, at k = 20% . Therefore, the NPV rule indicates rejecting the project.
Given k=20%, borrow $1,600 at t=0 for one year and invest the amount. At t=1, your net CF = 10,000 - 1,600 x (1+0.2) = + $8,080 Deposit $8,080 at t=1 for one year @20% At t=2, your net CF= 8,080 x (1+0.2) - 10,000 = - $304 [ = FV(NPV), net loss!]

5. P&Z Electronics
P&Z Electronics has two mutually exclusive investments under consideration. Each project is to produce incremental cost savings for 7 years. The required rate of return for P&Z is 14% . Determine for each project: (1) the payback period (2) the net present value. Which project should you choose and why? Assume the accelerated cost recovery system (ACRS) for depreciation for a 5-year property class. The corporate tax rate is 40%.

11.2 WARNING on IRR vs Opportunity Cost of Capital Distinguish between IRR and opportunity cost of capital
Both appear as discount rates in NPV formula.
IRR is a measure of profitability, depends on amount and timing of cash flows Opportunity cost of capital measures what we could earn by investing in financial assets of similar risk
Set by capital markets It is a cost of financing the project It provides us with a minimum acceptable level of profitability

11.3 Can IRR Rule be used for Mutually Exclusive Projects? Project CF0 CF1 IRR(%) E -10,000 +20,000 +100 F -20,000 +35,000 +75 Project E manually controlled machine Project F computer controlled machine
HIGHER NPV PREFERRED MACHINE BUT LOWER IRR!
What should be the criterion in choosing between alternative projects? IRR rule can give wrong answer !
IV - 54
Accept project E
IRR of 100% > 10% cost of capital At the least, project E is acceptable
NPV@10% +3,636
But we know that project E is acceptable Choose project F We could have chosen project F at the start by noting that it has the higher NPV
