Introduction
Capital Budgeting is the process of determining which real investment projects should be accepted and given an allocation of funds from the firm.
To evaluate capital budgeting processes, their consistency with the goal of shareholder wealth maximization is of utmost importance.
5
Capital Budgeting Mutually Exclusive versus Independent Project
Mutually Exclusive Projects: only ONE of several potential projects can be chosen, e.g. acquiring an accounting system.
RANK all alternatives and select the best one.
Independent Projects: accepting or rejecting one project does not affect the decision of the other projects.
Must exceed a MINIMUM acceptance criteria.
6
The Net Present Value (NPV) Rule Net Present Value (NPV) =
Total PV of future CF’s - Initial Investment
Estimating NPV: 1. Estimate future cash flows: how much? and when? 2. Estimate discount rate 3. Estimate initial costs
Minimum Acceptance Criteria:
Accept if: NPV > 0
Ranking Criteria: Choose the highest NPV
7
NPV - An Example
Assume you have the following information on
Project X:
Initial outlay -$1,100 Required return = 10%
Annual cash revenues and expenses are as follows:
Year Revenues Expenses
1 $1,000 $500
2 2,000 1,300
3 2,200 2,700
4 2,600 1,400
Draw a time line and compute the NPV of project X.

NPV: Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths Resulting number is easy to interpret: shows how wealth
will change if the project is accepted. Acceptance criteria is consistent with shareholder wealth
maximization. Relatively straightforward to calculate
Weaknesses An improper NPV analysis may lead to the wrong choices
of projects when the firm has capital rationing – this will be discussed later.
11
The Payback Period Rule
How long does it take the project to “pay back” its initial investment?
Payback Period = # of years to recover costs of project
Minimum Acceptance Criteria: set by management
Ranking Criteria: set by management
12
Discounted Payback - An Example
Initial outlay -$1,000r = 10%
PV of Year Cash flow Cash flow 1 $ 200 $ 182 2 400 331 3 700 526 4 300 205
Accumulated Year discounted cash flow 1 $ 182 2 513 3 1,039 4 1,244
Discounted payback period is just under 3 years
13
Average Accounting Return (AAR)
Also known as Accounting Rate of Return (ARR)
Method: using accounting data on profits and book value of the investment
AAR = Average Net Income / Average Book Value
If AAR > some target book rate of return, then accept the project
14
Average Accounting Return (AAR)
You want to invest in a machine that produces squash balls. The machine costs $90,000.
The machine will ‘die’ after 3 years (assume straight line depreciation, the annual depreciation is $30,000).
You estimate for the life of the project:
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Sales 140 160 200
Expenses 120 100 90
EBD 20 60 110

Expenses 120 100 90

We calculate:
(i) Average NI =
(ii) Average book value (BV) of the investment (machine):
time-0 time-1 time-2 time-3
BV of investment: 90 60 30 0
=> Average BV = (divide by 4 - not 3)
(iii) The Average Accounting Return:
AAR = = 44.44%
Conclusion: If target AAR < 44.44% => accept
If target AAR > 44.44% => reject

The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) Rule
IRR: the discount rate that sets the NPV to zero Minimum Acceptance Criteria:
Accept if: IRR > required return
Ranking Criteria: Select alternative with the highest IRR
Reinvestment assumption: the IRR calculation assumes that all future cash flows are reinvested at the IRR

IRR number is easy to interpret: shows the return the project generates.
Acceptance criteria is generally consistent with shareholder wealth maximization.

For a Financing Project, the required rate of return is the cost of financing, thus
If required rate of return (r) is lower than IRR => reject the project (e.g. r = 10%)
If required rate of return (r) is higher than IRR => accept the project (e.g. r = 15%)

No or Multiple IRR Problem – What to do?
IRR cannot be used in this circumstance, the only solution is to revert to another method of analysis. NPV can handle these problems.
How to recognize when this IRR problem can occur When changes in the signs of cash flows happen more
than once the problem may occur (depending on the relative sizes of the individual cash flows). • Examples: +-+ ; -+- ; -+++-; +---+

The Profitability Index (PI) Rule PI =
Total Present Value of future CF’s / Initial Investment
Minimum Acceptance Criteria: Accept if PI > 1
Ranking Criteria: Select alternative with highest PI
35
Profitability Index - An Example
Consider the following information on Project Y:
Initial outlay -$1,100
Required return = 10%
Annual cash benefits:
Year Cash flows
1 $ 500
2 1,000
What’s the NPV? What’s the Profitability Index (PI)?
36
The NPV of Project Y is equal to:
NPV = (500/1.1) + (1,000/1.12) - 1,100 = ($454.54 + 826.45) - 1,100
= $1,280.99 - 1,100 = $180.99.
PI = PV Cashflows/Initial Investment =
This is a good project according to the PI rule.
37
The Profitability Index (PI) Rule Disadvantages:
Problems with mutually exclusive investments (to be discussed later)
Advantages: May be useful when available investment funds
are limited (to be discussed later). Easy to understand and communicate Correct decision when evaluating independent
projects
38
Special situations
When projects are independent and the firm has few constraints on capital, then we check to ensure that projects at least meet a minimum criteria – if they do, they are accepted.
NPV≥0; IRR≥hurdle rate; PI≥1
Sometimes a firm will have plenty of funds to invest, but it must choose between projects that are mutually exclusive. This means that the acceptance of one project precludes the acceptance of any others. In this case, we seek to choose the one highest ranked of the acceptable projects.
If the firm has capital rationing, then its funds are limited and not all independent projects may be accepted. In this case, we seek to choose those projects that best use the firm’s available funds. PI is especially useful here.
39
Using IRR and PI correctly when projects are mutually exclusive and are of differing scales
Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects. Assume the opportunity cost of capital is 12%
YearCash flows of Project A
Cash flows of Project B
0 -$100,000 -$50
1 +$150,000 +$100
40
Incremental Cash Flows: Solving the Problem with IRR and PI
As you can see, individual IRRs and PIs are not good for comparing between two mutually exclusive projects.
However, we know IRR and PI are good for evaluating whether one project is acceptable.
Therefore, consider “one project” that involves switching from the smaller project to the larger project. If IRR or PI indicate that this is worthwhile, then we will know which of the two projects is better.
Incremental cash flow analysis looks at how the cash flows change by taking a particular project instead of another project.

42
Using IRR and PI correctly when projects are mutually exclusive and are of differing scales
IRR and PI analysis of incremental cash flows tells us which of two projects are better.
Beware, before accepting the better project, you should always check to see that the better project is good on its own (i.e., is it better than “do nothing”).

Capital Rationing
Recall: If the firm has capital rationing, then its funds are limited and not all independent projects may be accepted. In this case, we seek to choose those projects that best use the firm’s available funds. PI is especially useful here.
Note: capital rationing is a different problem than mutually exclusive investments because if the capital constraint is removed, then all projects can be accepted together.
Analyze the projects on the next page with NPV, IRR, and PI assuming the opportunity cost of capital is 10% and the firm is constrained to only invest $50,000 now (and no constraint is expected in future years).

47
Capital Rationing Example: Comparison of Rankings
NPV rankings (best to worst) A, D, C, B, E
• A uses up the available capital• Overall NPV = $4,545.45
IRR rankings (best to worst) E, D, B, A, C
• E, D, B use up the available capital• Overall NPV = NPVE+D+B=$6,181.82
PI rankings (best to worst) E, D, C, B, A
• E, D, C use up the available capital• Overall NPV = NPVE+D+C=$6,381.82
The PI rankings produce the best set of investments to accept given the capital rationing constraint.
48
Capital Rationing Conclusions
PI is best for initial ranking of independent projects under capital rationing.
Comparing NPV’s of feasible combinations of projects would also work.
IRR may be useful if the capital rationing constraint extends over multiple periods (see project C).
49
Summary and Conclusions
Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) techniques are the best of the methods we have presented.
In some cases, the DCF techniques need to be modified in order to obtain a correct decision. It is important to completely understand these cases and have an appreciation of which technique is best given the situation.
