Overview of the Present Value Concept, Investment Criteria
and Free-cash flows
The fundamental of valuation
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Today’s plan Review the concept of the time value of money
• present value (PV)
• discount rate (r)
• discount factor (DF)
• net present value (NPV) Review of two rules for making investment decisions
• The NPV rule
• The rate of return rule Review the formula for calculating the present value of
• perpetuity with and without growth
• annuity with and without growth Review the concepts about interest compounding
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Today’s plan (continue)
Why do we always argue for the use of the NPV rule
Examination of two other investment criteria• Payback rule• IRR rule
Some specific questions in using NPV• Sunk costs, opportunity cost• Incremental cash flows and incidental cash flows• Working capital• Inflation, real interest rate and nominal interest rate
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Today’s plan (continue)
How to calculate cash flows in Finance• Depreciations are not actual cash flows
• Three approaches to calculate cash flows from operations
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Financial choices
Which would you rather receive today?
• TRL 1,000,000,000 ( one billion Turkish lira )
• USD 652.72 ( U.S. dollars ) Both payments are absolutely
guaranteed. What do we do?
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Financial choices
We need to compare “apples to apples” - this means we need to get the TRL:USD exchange rate
From www.bloomberg.com we can see:
• USD 1 = TRL 1,789,320 Therefore TRL 1bn = USD 558
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Financial choices at different times
Which would you rather receive?• $1000 today
• $1200 in one year
Both payments have no risk, that is, • there is 100% probability that you will be paid
• there is 0% probability that you won’t be paid
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Financial choices at different times (2) Why is it hard to compare ?
• $1000 today
• $1200 in one year This is not an “apples to apples” comparison. They
have different units $1000 today is different from $1000 in one year Why?
• A cash flow is time-dated money• It has a money unit such as USD or TRL
• It has a date indicating when to receive money
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Present value
In order to have an “apple to apple” comparison, we convert future payments to the present values• this is like converting money in TRL to money in USD
• Certainly, we can also convert the present value to the future value to compare payments we get today with payments we get in the future.
• Although these two ways are theoretically the same, but the present value concept is more important and has more applications, as to be shown in stock and bond valuations.

Example for the discount factor
Given two dollars, one received a year from now and the other two years from now, the value of each is commonly called the Discount Factor. Assume r1 = 20% and r2 = 7%. What is the present value for each dollar received?
DF1=1.00/(1+0.2)=0.83
DF2=1.00/(1+0.07)2=0.87
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Present value of multiple cash flows For a cash flow received in year one and a
cash flow received in year two, different discount rates may be used.
The present value of these two cash flows is the sum of the present value of each cash flow, since two present value have the same unit: time zero USD.

FIN 819: Lecture 2
Projects
A “project” is a term that is used to describe the following activity:• spend some money today
• receive cash flows in the future A stylized way to draw project cash flows is
as follows:
Initial investment(negative cash flows)
Expected cash flows in year one (probably positive)
Expected cash flows in year two (probably positive)
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Examples of projects An entrepreneur starts a company:
• initial investment is negative cash outflow.
• future net revenue is cash inflow . An investor buys a share of IBM stock
• cost is cash outflow; dividends are future cash inflows. A lottery ticket:
• investment cost: cash outflow of $1
• jackpot: cash inflow of $20,000,000 (with some very small probability…)
Thus projects can range from real investments, to financial investments, to gambles (the lottery ticket).
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Firms or companies
A firm or company can be regarded as a set of projects.• capital budgeting is about choosing the best
projects in real asset investments.
How do we know one project is worth taking?
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Net present value
A net present value NPV is the sum of the initial investment (usually made at time zero) and the PV of expected future cash flows.

If the NPV of a project is positive, the firm should go ahead to take this project.
This rule is often called the DCF approach, because we have to use the discount rate to calculate the PV of the future cash flows of a project

Example 9 John got his MBA from SFSU. When he was interviewed by a
big firm, the interviewer asked him the following question: A project costs 10 m and produces future cash flows, as shown
in the next slide, where cash flows depend on the state of the economy.
In a “boom economy” payoffs will be high• over the next three years, there is a 20% chance of a boom
• In a “normal economy” payoffs will be medium• over the next three years, there is a 50% chance of normal
In a “recession” payoffs will be low• over the next 3 years, there is a 30% chance of a recession
In all three states, the discount rate is 8% over all time horizons.
Tell me whether to take the project or not

FIN 819: Lecture 2
Example 9 (continues)
The interviewer then asked John:• Before you tell me the final decision, how do
you calculate the NPV?• Should you calculate the NPV at each economy or
take the average first and then calculate NPV
• Can your conclusion be generalized to any situations?
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Calculate the NPV at each economy
In the boom economy, the NPV is• -10+ 8/1.08 + 3/1.082 + 3/1.083=$2.36
In the average economy, the NPV is• -10+ 7/1.08 + 2/1.082 + 1.5/1.083=-$0.613
In the bust economy, the NPV is • -10+ 6/1.08 + 1/1.082 + 0.9/1.083 =-$2.87The expected NPV is 0.2*2.36+0.5*(-.613)+0.3*(-2.87)=-$0.696
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Calculate the expected cash flows at each time
At period 1, the expected cash flow is• C1=0.2*8+0.5*7+0.3*6=$6.9
At period 2, the expected cash flow is• C2=0.2*3+0.5*2+0.3*1=$1.9
At period 3, the expected cash flows is• C3=0.2*3+0.5*1.5+0.3*0.9=$1.62
The NPV is• NPV=-10+6.9/1.08+1.9/1.082+1.62/1.083
• =-$0.696
FIN 819: Lecture 2
The rate of return rule for a one-period project with negative C0
Another way to decide whether a project (with one piece of cash flow occurring in the future) should be taken or not is to compare the rate of return and the discount rate.
If the rate of return of a project is larger than the discount rate (the cost of capital, or hurdle rate), the firm should go ahead to take this project.
The rate of return is defined as the ratio of the profit to the cost.
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Example
If you invest $30 today in one share of stock (no dividends), you will get $36 next year. What is the rate of return for your investment?
Profit=36-30=$6 Rate of return = 6/30=20%
FIN 819: Lecture 2
NPV rule and the rate of return rule?
What is the relationship between these two rules?
If there is some relation between these two rules, can you show formally?
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Perpetuities We are going to look at the PV of a perpetuity starting one year from
now (please see the cash flow diagram below). Definition: if a project makes a level, periodic payment into perpetuity,
it is called a perpetuity. Let’s suppose your friend promises to pay you $1 every year, starting
next year. His future family will continue to pay you and your future family forever. The discount rate is assumed to be constant at 8.5%. How much is this promise worth?

Mortgage-style loans
Suppose you take a $20,000 3-yr car loan with “mortgage style payments”• annual payments
• interest rate is 7.5% “Mortgage style” loans have two main
features:• They require the borrower to make the same payment
every period (in this case, every year)
• They are fully amortizing (the loan is completely paid off by the end of the last period)
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Mortgage-style loans
The best way to deal with mortgage-style loans is to make a “loan amortization schedule”
The schedule tells both the borrower and lender exactly:• what the loan balance is each period (in this case -
year)
• how much interest is due each year ? ( 7.5% )
• what the total payment is each period (year) Can you use what you have learned to figure
out this schedule?

Two other investment criteria
In addition to the NPV rule, some financial managers used to use two other investment rules to decide which project to take• Payback rule
• Internal rate of return (IRR) rule
FIN 819: Lecture 2
What is the payback rule
The payback period• The number of years (in integer) it takes before the
cumulative cash flow is equal to or larger than the initial outlay (investment cost).
The payback rule
• If the payback period is less than or equal to the pre-specified number of periods (2, 3, or 4 years, quite arbitrary) for a project, the firm should go ahead to take this project.
This method is clearly flawed.• Why?
FIN 819: Lecture 2

The IRR rule
The rate of return rule revisited• Consider one-period model
• Rate of return=(C1+C0)/(-C0)
• NPV=C0+C1/(1+ r), r is the discount rate
• If the rate of return is larger than r, we should go ahead to take the project
Can we extend this rate of return rule in the general situation in the multi-period case?
FIN 819: Lecture 2
The IRR rule (continues)
The internal rate of return is a single discount rate such that the NPV is zero.
If the IRR is larger than the cost of capital or the discount rate for a project, the firm should go ahead to take the project.

Pitfall 1 of IRR
Lending or Borrowing? With some cash flows (as noted below) the NPV of the project increases as
the discount rate increases. This is contrary to the normal relationship between NPV and discount rates. Why does this happen?

Some points to remember in calculating cash flows
Incremental cash flows Include all incidental effects Do not forget working capital requirements Forget sunk costs Include opportunity costs Depreciation Financing
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Incremental cash flows
Incremental cash flows are the increased cash flows due to investment
Do not get confused about the average cost or total cost?
Do you have examples about incremental costs?
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Incidental costs
Costs or cash flows are indirectly related to investment.
Have examples for this?
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Working capital
(Net) working capital is the difference between a firm’s short-term assets and liabilities.
The principal short-term assets are cash, accounts receivable, and inventories of raw materials and finished goods.
The principal short-term liabilities are accounts payable.
Do you have examples?
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Sunk costs
The sunk cost is past cost and has nothing to do with your investment decision
Is your education cost so far at SFSU is sunk cost?
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Opportunity cost
The cost of a resource may be relevant to the investment decision even when no cash changes hands.
Give me an example about the opportunity cost of studying at SFSU?
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Be consistent in how you handle inflation!! Use nominal interest rates to discount
nominal cash flows. Use real interest rates to discount real cash
flows. You will get the same results, whether you
use nominal or real figures
Inflation rule
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Example
You own a lease that will cost you $8,000 next year, increasing at 3% a year (the forecasted inflation rate) for 3 additional years (4 years total). If discount rates are 10% what is the present value cost of the lease?
1 real interest rate = 1+nominal interest rate1+inflation rate

Depreciation Depreciation is not the actual cash flow. Depreciation is just an accounting way of
allocating capital investment In accounting, depreciation is regarded as the
accounting cash flow In Finance, depreciation is not the actual cash
flow, but its impact on firms’ tax payment must be considered, that is, depreciation reduces a firm’s tax payment.
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Example
A project costs $2,000 and is expected to last 2 years, producing cash income of $1,500 and $500 respectively. The cost of the project can be depreciated at $1,000 per year. Given a 10% required return, compare the NPV using cash flow to the NPV using accounting income.

Question
In the previous example, we assume that there is no corporate tax. If there is a corporate tax of 30%, what are the NPVs for the accounting cash flows and cash flows in finance?
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Forget about financing
When calculating cash flows from a project, ignore how the project is financed.
You can assume that the firm is financed by issuing only stocks; or the firm has no debt but just equity.

How to calculate free cash flows?
If we are given discount rates and future cash flows, it is quite straightforward to calculate NPV to make investment decisions.
Can we use accounting profits calculated in income statements as free-cash flows?
If yes, why?; if not, how to calculate free cash flows?
FIN 819: Lecture 2
How to calculate free cash flows?
Free cash flows = cash flows from operations + cash flows from the change in working capital + cash flows from capital investment and disposal• We can have three methods to calculate cash
flows from operations, but they are the exactly same, although they have different forms.
FIN 819: Lecture 2
How to calculate cash flows from operations?
Method 1• Cash flows from operations =revenue –cost
(cash expenses) – tax payment Methods 2
• Cash flows from operations = accounting profit + depreciation
Method 3• Cash flows from operations =(revenue –
cost)*(1-tax rate) + depreciation *tax rate
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Example
revenue 1,000- Cost 600- Depreciation 200- Profit before tax 200- Tax at 35% 70 - Net income 130
Given information above, please use three methods to calculate
Cash flows
FIN 819: Lecture 2
Solution:
Method 1• Cash flows=1000-600-70=330
Method 2• Cash flows =130+200=330
Method 3• Cash flows =(1000-600)*(1-0.35)+200*0.35
=330
