How would You characterise the main objective of a firm?objective of a firm?

and the answer is....and the answer is Let’s look at what the gurus have to say to us:g y Van Horne: "In this book, we assume that the objective of the
firm is to maximize its value to its stockholders" Brealey & Myers: "Success is usually judged by value: Brealey & Myers: Success is usually judged by value:
Shareholders are made better off by any decision which increases the value of their stake in the firm... The secret of success in fi i l i i l “financial management is to increase value.“
Copeland & Weston: The most important theme is that the objective of the firm is to maximize the wealth of its objective of the firm is to maximize the wealth of its stockholders.“
Brigham and Gapenski: Throughout this book we operate on th ti th t th t' i l i the assumption that the management's primary goal is stockholder wealth maximization which translates into maximizing the price of the common stock.

Value of a firmValue of a firm Why maximising corporate profit is not a good objective for a
?company? There are many reasons: N t i i t ll ti fi th t i ti kl Net income is actually an accounting figure that is sometimes weakly
related to actual cash the firm generates. Why? Depreciation p For many firms, most sales are made under terms of credit, but
recognised as income Also, the company itself may defer the payments to it’s creditors Change in accounting principles (LIFO vs FIFO) may influence the
net income but should not have an effect on the value of the firm net income but should not have an effect on the value of the firm (why?)
Creative accounting etc.

Big picture (2)Big picture (2) The ultimate aim – increase the value of the firm. Investments should be made to the projects where the return
is higher than the minimal acceptable hurdle rate The value of the project depends on the amount, timing and riskiness
of the (incremental) cash flows The projects that bear higher risk should have higher hurdle rate
(cost of capital) The hurdle rate may also depend on the sources of financing (equity The hurdle rate may also depend on the sources of financing (equity

“Equity doesn’t have a cost”*Equity doesn t have a cost Profit and loss account doesn’t includes opportunity costs of
e itequity. Even a positive net income could be insufficient from the
viewpoint of owners. The point can be described by well-known viewpoint of owners. The point can be described by well known performance measure: EVA (economic value added)
Very simplified example: Total sales (10 mil), operating cash expenses (8 mil), firm has outstanding debt 6 mil and equity 8mil. The average interest rate for debt is 10% and the required return on equity is 20%. Firm has made 14 mil of total return on equity is 20%. Firm has made 14 mil of total investments (incl. current assets).
Discuss, what could be the “economic profit” for a company. (comment on the performance of the company)

1st Topic: Capital budgetingp p g g
Long term investment evaluation (capital expenditure) assumes that the proceeds from an investment are spread over longer time horizon.
The capital budgeting process involves three basic steps:
• Generating long-term investment proposals;• Reviewing, analyzing, and selecting from the proposals g, y g, g p p
that have been granted, and• Implementing and monitoring the proposals that have
b l dbeen selected.
Managers should separate investment and financing decisions.

Payback Period
The payback period is the amount of time required for the firm to recover its initial investment.
• If the project’s payback period is less than the maximum t bl b k i d t th j tacceptable payback period, accept the project.
• If the project’s payback period is greater than the i t bl b k i d j t th j tmaximum acceptable payback period, reject the project.
M t d t i ( ti bit il ) th Management determines (sometimes arbitrarily) the maximum acceptable payback period.

Payback Analysis For Global Wireless
Management’s cutoff is 2.75 years.
Payback Analysis For Global Wireless
Management s cutoff is 2.75 years. Western Europe project: initial outflow of -$250M But cash inflows over first 3 years is only $245 million But cash inflows over first 3 years is only $245 million. Global Wireless will reject the project (3>2.75).
S th t U S j t i iti l tfl f $50M Southeast U.S. project: initial outflow of -$50M Cash inflows over first 2 years cumulate to $40 million. Project recovers initial outflow after 2.40 years. Total inflow in year 3 is $25 million. So, the project
generates $10 million in year 3 in 0.40 years ($10 million $25 million).
22
Global Wireless will accept the project (2.4<2.75).

Pros and Cons of NPVPros and Cons of NPV
NPV is the “gold standard” of investment decision rules.
Key benefits of using NPV as decision rule:
• Focuses on cash flows, not accounting earnings• Makes appropriate adjustment for time value of money• Can properly account for risk differences between projects• Can properly account for risk differences between projects
Though best measure, NPV has some drawbacks:
• Lacks the intuitive appeal of payback, and

The scale problem:

• The Southeast U.S. project has a higher IRR, but doesn’t increase shareholders’ wealth as much as the Western

Europe project.
Conflicts Between NPV and IRR:Th S l P blThe Scale Problem
Why the conflict? The scale of the Western Europe expansion is roughly five times
that of the Southeast U.S. project. Even though the Southeast U.S. investment provides a higher rate of
return, the opportunity to make the much larger Western Europe investment is more attractiveinvestment is more attractive.
Another (simpler example): Assume that before the finance class starts two investment proposals are made to you:finance class starts two investment proposals are made to you: A) invest 1 EEK and after a class you receive 2 EEK B) invest 10 EEK and after a class you receive 12 EEK The projects B) invest 10 EEK and after a class you receive 12 EEK.

Cash Flow Versus Accounting Profit
Capital budgeting is concerned with cash flow,not accounting profit.
To evaluate a capital investment, we must know:
1. Incremental cash outflows of the investment (marginal cost of investment) andcost of investment), and
2. Incremental cash inflows of the investment (marginal benefit of investment).

Cash Flows: Financing Costs and Taxes
Financing costs should be excluded when evaluating a project’s cash flows.
Both interest expense from debt financing and dividend payments to equity investors should be
excluded.
Financing costs are captured in the process of discounting future cash flows.g
Only after-tax cash flows are relevant as only such cash
45
y yflows can be potentially distributed to investors.
Cash Flows: Noncash ExpensesCash Flows: Noncash Expenses Noncash expenses include depreciation, amortization, and depletion. Accountants charge depreciation to spread a fixed asset’s costs over
time to match its benefits. Capital budgeting analysis focuses on cash inflows and outflows
when they actually occur.N h (E i i i l ) ff h fl Non-cash expenses may (Estonia is a special case) affect cash flow through their impact on taxes: Compute after-tax net income and add depreciation back or Compute after-tax net income and add depreciation back, or Ignore depreciation expense but add back its tax savings. (e.g. Depreciation tax shield)
In Estonia there is currently no tax shields (also including interest rate tax y ( gshield) - however, a realistic cash flow prognosis should take potential future dividends into account through potential tax costs (for instance, one can assume that an optimal debt/equity ratio is maintained and rest is

Terminal Value
When evaluating an investment with indefinite life-span, the project’s terminal value is calculated:
Forecasts more than 5 to 10 Construct cash-flow forecasts
for 5 to 10 yearsyears have high margin of error; use terminal value
i t dinstead.
• The terminal value is intended to reflect the value of a project at a given future point in time.
• The terminal value is usually large relative to all the other

Terminal Value
Different ways to calculate terminal values:
• Use final year cash flow projections and assume thatall future cash flow grow at a constant rate (present value of a perpetuity);
• Multiply final cash flow estimate by a market multiple, or
• Use investment’s book value or liquidation value.

Incremental Cash Flow
I t l h fl k t
Incremental Cash Flow
Incremental cash flows versus sunk costs:
Capital budgeting analysis should include only incremental costs.
• Simple example: assume that your company undertook a k h d h 200 000$ Th k market research and the costs were 200.000$. The market
research was successful and as a result, a more thorough project evaluation is to be undertaken Should the costs of project evaluation is to be undertaken. Should the costs of marketing research be included into the cash flow budget or not? Why or why not?
52
Opportunity CostsOpportunity Costs
Cash flows from alternative investment opportunities, forgone when one investment is undertaken.
Some time ago You were thinking of attending the MA (MBA) g g g ( )program. Indeed you calculated the incremental costs and
benefits from attending business school. What are the i h ?opportunity costs here?
NPV of a project could fall substantially if opportunity costs i d!

are recognized!
CannibalizationCannibalization
Cannibalization refers to the loss of sales of an existing product when a new product is introduced
d h ld b l d d l ( ) and should be included as an incremental (negative) cash flow.
• Cannibalization is a “substitution” effect.
H h ld b h • However there could be some exceptions to this rule. One should take into account the effect of
l 54
potential competition.
Example of a projectExample of a project A small bakery is planning to expand it’s activities and is going
to introduce a new product – “cheese cake”. The expected sales are 40 000 cakes a year for every next 4 years. Sales price is 4,00.- The production cost is 1,80.- plus transportation costs 0,50.- per
kcake. The sales manager thinks that the introduction of a new product
could negatively affect the sales of other products and expects a loss could negatively affect the sales of other products and expects a loss of 18 000.- (1.80.- per cake)
The firm has already made some expenditures for market research y p(20 000.-)
There is a small opportunity cost as the rooms that are now going to be used were previously rented out for (5 000 a year)
55
Project (II)Project (II) An investment into equipment is 74 000.- (straight line
depreciation, no accounting salvage value after 4 years). However the equipment could be sold for 10 000.-
The investment into net working capital is 15000.- The incremental fixed costs are 15 000.- (mostly advertasing
costs) The owners expect to pay out 60% of the net profit. Hence
according to Estonian tax system, the tax rate is (21/79)% from dividends.
There is no general corporate tax on net profit

Capital RationingCapital Rationing
Can a firm accept all investment projects with positive NPV?
R h ld ll jReasons why a company would not accept all projects:
Limited availability of skilled personnel to be involved with all the projects;p j ;
Financing may not be available for all projects. Companies are reluctant to issue new shares to finance new projects
because of the negative signal this action may convey to the k t

Companies should have control measures in place to remove p pbias: Investment analysis should be done by a group independent of y y g p p
individual or group proposing the project. Project analysts must have a sense of what is reasonable when
forecasting a project’s profit margin and its growth potential. Storytelling: The best analysts not only provide numbers to

Monte Carlo SimulationMonte Carlo Simulation
Th f M t C l i l ti h d ti ll i th The use of Monte Carlo simulation has grown dramatically in the last decade because of steep declines in the costs of computer power and simulation software.power and simulation software.
The bottom line is that simulation is a powerful, effective tool when used properly. p p y
Simulation’s fundamental appeal is that it provides decision makers with a probability distribution of NPVs rather than a single point estimate of the expected NPV.
Simulations can be aided using specialised software. For instance excel based crystal ball. We look at it the next time we meet.

Decision TreesDecision Trees
A decision tree is a visual representation of the sequential choices that managers face over time with regard to a particular investmentwith regard to a particular investment.
• The value of decision trees is that they force analysts to think through a series of “if-then” statements that describe how they will react as the future unfolds.

Decision Trees for Odessa InvestmentDecision Trees for Odessa InvestmentTrinkle Foods Limited of Canada has invented a new salt substitute,
branded Odessa.
Trinkle is deciding whether to spend 5-million Canadian dollars (C$) to test-market a new line of potato chips flavored with Odessa in Vancouver.
Depending on the outcome, Trinkle may spend an additional C$50 million 1 year later to launch a full line of snack foods across Canada.
If consumer acceptance in Vancouver is high the company predicts that its If consumer acceptance in Vancouver is high, the company predicts that its full product line will generate net cash inflows of C$12 million per year for 10 years.
If consumers respond less favorably, cash inflows from a nationwide launch is expected to be just C$2 million per year for 10 years.

Trinkle’s cost of capital equals 15 percent.
