Problems to be resolved in applying the NPV ruleWhat should be discounted? In theory, the answer is: We should always discount cash flows.What rate should be used to discount cash flows? In principle, the opportunity cost of capital should be used as the discount rate.11MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital Budgeting CASH FLOWS VERSUS PROFIT Cash flow is not the same thing as profit, at least, for two reasons. First, profit, as measured by an accountant, is based on accrual concept.

Second, for computing profit, expenditures are arbitrarily divided into revenue and capital expenditures.

12MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital BudgetingINCREMENTAL CASH FLOWSEvery investment involves a comparison of alternatives:

When the incremental cash flows for an investment are calculated by comparing with a hypothetical zero-cash-flow project, we call them absolute cash flows.The incremental cash flows found out by comparison between two real alternatives can be called relative cash flows.

The principle of incremental cash flows assumes greater importance in the case of replacement decisions.13MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital BudgetingExampleSuppose a firm is considering replacing an equipment at book value of Rs. 5000 and market value of Rs. 3000. New equipment will require an initial cash outlay of Rs 10,000, and is estimated to generate cash flows of Rs 8,000, Rs 7,000 and Rs 4,500 for the next 3 years. The book value of old machine is a sunk cost. Market value is opportunity cost. Thus, on an incremental basis the net cash outflow of new equipment is: Rs 10,000 Rs 3,000 = Rs 7,000.Also, The differences of the cash flows of new equipment over the cash flows of old equipment are incremental cash flows.

Initial Investment

Initial investment is the net cash outlay in the period in which an asset is purchased. A major element of the initial investment is gross outlay or original value (OV) of the asset, which comprises of its cost (including accessories and spare parts) and freight and installation charges. Original value is included in the existing block of assets for computing annual depreciation.16MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital BudgetingExample of Initial Investment17

Wattle Extract Project: Initial InvestmentMBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital BudgetingNet Cash FlowsConsist of annual cash flows occurring from the operation of an investment, but it is also be affected by changes in net working capital and capital expenditures during the life of the investment.

The computation of the after-tax cash flows requires a careful treatment of non-cash expense items such as depreciation.Depreciation, calculated as per the income tax rules influences cash flows indirectly by way of depreciation tax shield. 18

MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital BudgetingCalculation of Depreciation For Tax Purposes Two most popular methods of charging depreciation are: straight-line Diminishing balance or written-down value (WDV) methods. For reporting to the shareholders, companies in India could charge depreciation either on the straight-line or the written-down value basis. No choice of depreciation method and rates for the tax purposes is available to companies in India. Depreciation is computed on the written down value of the block of assets and rates are specified. 19MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital Budgeting

Net working capital

It is the difference between change in current assets (e.g., receivable and inventory) and change in current liabilities (e.g., accounts payable) to profit. Increase in net working capital should be subtracted from and decrease added to after-tax operating profit.

20

MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital BudgetingFree Cash FlowsIt is the cash flow available to service both lenders and shareholders, who have provided, respectively, debt and equity, funds to finance the firms investments. It is this cash flow, which should be discounted to find out an investments NPV.

21

MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital BudgetingTerminal Cash Flow: Salvage ValueSalvage value is a terminal cash flow. Salvage value may be defined as the market price of an investment at the time of its sale.No immediate tax liability (or tax savings) arises on the sale of an asset because the value of the asset sold is adjusted in the depreciable base of assets.

22MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital BudgetingEffects of Salvage ValueSalvage value of the new asset: It will increase cash inflow in the terminal (last) period of the new investment.

Salvage value of the existing asset now: It will reduce the initial cash outlay of the new asset.

Salvage value of the existing asset at the end of its normal life: It will reduce the cash flow of the new investment of in the period in which the existing asset is sold.

23MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital BudgetingRelease of Net Working CapitalBesides salvage value, terminal cost flows will also include the release of net working capital. It is reasonable to assume that funds initially tied up in net working capital at the time the investment was undertaken would be released in the last year when the investment is terminated.24MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital BudgetingCALCULATION OF DEPRECIATION FORTAX PURPOSESTwo most popular methods of charging depreciation are: Straight-line and diminishing balanceWritten-down value (WDV) methods

In India, depreciation is allowed as deduction every year on the written-down value basis in respect of fixed assets as per the rates prescribed in the Income Tax rules. Depreciation is computed on the written down value of the block of assets.25MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital BudgetingDepreciation baseIn the case of block of assets, the written down value is calculated as follows:The aggregate of the written down value of all assets in the block at the beginning of the year Plus the actual cost of any asset in the block acquired during the year Minus the proceeds from the sale of any asset in the block during the year Thus, in a replacement decision, the depreciation base of a new asset will be equal to: Cost of new equipment + Written down value of old equipment Salvage value of old equipment26MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital BudgetingCash Flow Estimates for New ProductsIt depends on forecasts of sales and operating expenses.Sales forecasts require information on the quantity of sales and the price of the product.Anticipation of the competitors reactions.

27MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital BudgetingSalvage Value and Tax Effects As per the current tax rules in India, the after-tax salvage value should be calculated as follows:Book value > Salvage value: After-tax salvage value = Salvage value + PV of depreciation tax shield on (BV SV)Salvage value > Book value:After-tax salvage value = Salvage value - PV of depreciation tax shield lost on (SV BV)28

MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital BudgetingTerminal Value for a New BusinessThe terminal value included the salvage value of the asset and the release of the working capital.

Managers make assumption of horizon period because detailed calculations for a long period become quite intricate. The financial analysis of such projects should incorporate an estimate of the value of cash flows after the horizon period without involving detailed calculations.

A simple method of estimating the terminal value at the end of the horizon period is to employ the following formula, which is a variation of the dividend growth model

29MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital BudgetingTerminal Value of New Business / New ProductsNew businesses have the potential of generating revenues and cash flows much beyond the assumed period of analysis, which is referred to as horizon period.A simple method of estimating the terminal value at the end of the horizon period is:

where NCFn+1 is the projects net cash flow one year after the horizon period, k is the opportunity cost of capital (discount rate) and g is the expected growth in the projects net cash flows. 30

MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital BudgetingCash Flow Estimates for Replacement DecisionsThe initial investment of the new machine will be reduced by the cash proceeds from the sale of the existing machine.The annual cash flows are found on incremental basis.The incremental cash proceeds from salvage value is considered. 31MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital Budgeting SYLLABUSCash Flow Measurement: Dependence and independence of cash flows in evaluating projects, Measures of risk and returns, Inflation in capital budgeting, Real vs. nominal discount rates, Bias in cash flow estimates, Total risk for multiple investment. Measuring cash flow for acquisition. Use of Excel for estimating cash flows & decision making.

REALNominal values are the actual amount of money making up cash flowsReal values reflect the purchasing power of the cash flowsReal values are found by adjusting the nominal values for the rate of inflationMBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital BudgetingINFLATION EFFECTS TWO ASPECTS OF CAPITAL BUDGETING

PROJECTED CASH FLOWSDISCOUNT RATEMBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital BudgetingIF PROJECTED CASH FLOWS ARE IN REAL TERMS (WITHOUT INFLATION CONSIDERED) THE DISCOUNT RATE USED SHOULD BE A REAL RATE.

IF PROJECTED CASH FLOWS ARE IN NOMINAL TERMS (WITH INFLATION CONSIDERED) THE DISCOUNT RATE USED SHOULD BE A NOMINAL RATE.

MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital BudgetingBOTH THE PAYMENT SERIES AND THE DISCOUNT RATE MUST BE SPECIFIED EITHER IN NOMINAL VALUES OR IN REAL VALUES, BUT NOT IN BOTH VALUES CONCURRENTLY.MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital BudgetingThe opportunity cost of capital of a firm or project is generally market determined and is based on expected future return.It is, there fore usually expressed in nominal terms and reflects the expected rate of inflation.The opportunity cost of capital is or the discount rate is a combination of the real rate and expected inflation rate.This effect is called Fishers effect9/18/201538MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital Budgeting Nominal discount rate (k)= (1+K) (1+)- 1

K= real discount rate = inflation rate9/18/201539MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital Budgetingexample:The firms opportunity cost of capital, which is market determined expressed in nominal terms is 14%. Rate of inflation is 7%9/18/201540year01234Cash flow-1000030003000

MBA & PGDM-Advanced Capital BudgetingIs it better to use real or nominal values?Using nominal values is more common.Market interest rates are nominal values that already contain a premium for anticipated inflation.Income tax obligations are based on nominal values.Therefore, it is usually easier to use nominal values.However, if a nominal discount rate is used, projected cash flows should reflect anticipated inflation.
