- 1.The Basics of Capital Budgeting
2. What is capital budgeting?
- Analysis of potential additions to fixed assets.
- Long-term decisions; involve large expenditures.
- Very important to firms future.
3. Examples:
4. Problems:
- Demand for capital-how much money needed for expenditure
- Supply of capital internal and external
- Capital rationing selection of the projects
5. Types of capital
- WACC: weighted average cost of capital
6. methods
- Accounting rate of return
7. Steps to capital budgeting
- Estimate CFs (inflows & outflows).
- Determine the appropriate cost of capital.
- Accept if NPV > 0 and/or IRR > WACC.
8. What is the difference between independent and mutually exclusive projects?
- Independent projects if the cash flows of one are unaffected by the acceptance of the other.
- Mutually exclusive projects if the cash flows of one can be adversely impacted by the acceptance of the other.
9. What is the difference between normal and nonnormal cash flow streams?
- Normal cash flow stream Cost (negative CF) followed by a series of positive cash inflows.One change of signs.
- Nonnormal cash flow stream Two or more changes of signs.Most common:Cost (negative CF), then string of positive CFs, then cost to close project.Nuclear power plant, strip mine, etc.
10. What is the payback period?
- The number of years required to recover a projects cost, or How long does it take to get our money back?
- Calculated by adding projects cash inflows to its cost until the cumulative cash flow for the project turns positive.

- Provides an indication of a projects risk and liquidity.
- Easy to calculate and understand.
- Ignores the time value of money.
- Ignores CFs occurring after the payback period.
13. Discounted payback period
- Uses discounted cash flows rather than raw CFs.
Disc Payback L=2+/=2.7 years CF t -100106080 Cumulative-100-90.9118.79 0 1 2 3 = 2.7 60.11 -41.32 PV of CF t -1009.0949.59 41.32 60.11 10% 14. Accounting rate of return
- = estimated net profits/ capital employed . 100
- Average investment =( initial investment + scrap value) / 2
- Limitation : does not look at time value of money
15. Net Present Value (NPV)
- Sum of the PVs of all cash inflows and outflows of a project:
16. What is Project Ls NPV?
17. Rationale for the NPV method
- If projects are independent, accept if the project NPV > 0.
- If projects are mutually exclusive, accept projects with the highest positive NPV, those that add the most value.
- In this example, would accept S if mutually exclusive (NPV s> NPV L ), and would accept both if independent.
18. Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
- IRR is the discount rate that forces PV of inflows equal to cost, and the NPV = 0:
- Normally NPV METHOD and IRR method gives the same result
19. How is a projects IRR similar to a bonds YTM?
- Think of a bond as a project.The YTM on the bond would be the IRR of the bond project.
- EXAMPLE: Suppose a 10-year bond with a 9% annual coupon sells for $1,134.20.
- Solve for IRR = YTM = 7.08%, the annual return for this project/bond.
20. Rationale for the IRR method
- If IRR > WACC, the projects rate of return is greater than its costs.There is some return left over to boost stockholders returns.
21. IRR Acceptance Criteria
- If IRR > k, accept project.
- If IRR < k, reject project.
- If projects are independent, accept both projects, as both IRR > k = 10%.
- If projects are mutually exclusive, accept S, because IRR s> IRR L .
22. NPV Profiles
- A graphical representation of project NPVs at various different costs of capital.
23. Comparing the NPV and IRR methods
- If projects are independent, the two methods always lead to the same accept/reject decisions.
- If projects are mutually exclusive
- If k > crossover point, the two methods lead to the same decision and there is no conflict.
- If k < crossover point, the two methods lead to different accept/reject decisions.
