6.1 Why Use Net Present Value?
• Accepting positive NPV projects benefits shareholders.
Forgoing the project today, the value of the firm today is $V + $100
Accepting the project today, the value of the firm today is $V + $100.94 (107/1.06)
The difference is $0.94.• The value of the firm rises by the NPV of the
project.

• The discount rate on a risky project is the return that one can expect to earn on a financial asset of comparable risk.
• This discount rate is often referred to as an opportunity cost.

The Net Present Value (NPV) Rule
• Net Present Value (NPV) = -Initial Investment +Total PV of future CF’s
• 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

Good Attributes of the NPV Rule
• 1. Uses cash flows• 2. Uses ALL cash flows of the project• 3. Discounts ALL cash flows properly
• Reinvestment assumption: the NPV rule assumes that all cash flows can be reinvested at the discount rate.

6.2 The Payback Period Method
• How long does it take the project to “pay back” its initial investment?
• Payback Period = number of years to recover initial costs
• Minimum Acceptance Criteria: – Set by management
• Ranking Criteria: – Set by management

The Payback Period Method• Disadvantages:
– Ignores the time value of money– Ignores cash flows after the payback
period– Biased against long-term projects– Requires an arbitrary acceptance criteria– A project accepted based on the payback
criteria may not have a positive NPV
• Advantages:– Easy to understand– Biased toward liquidity

• The payback rule is often used by: large and sophisticated companies when making relatively small decisions, or firms with very good investment opportunities but no available cash (small, privately held firms with good growth prospects but limited access to the capital markets).

6.3 The Discounted Payback Period
• How long does it take the project to “pay back” its initial investment, taking the time value of money into account?
• Decision rule: Accept the project if it pays back on a discounted basis within the specified time.
• By the time you have discounted the cash flows, you might as well calculate the NPV.

6.4 Average Accounting Return
• Another attractive, but fatally flawed, approach
• Ranking Criteria and Minimum Acceptance Criteria set by management

Average Accounting Return
• Disadvantages:– Ignores the time value of money– Uses an arbitrary benchmark cutoff rate– Based on book values, not cash flows and
market values
• Advantages:– The accounting information is usually
available– Easy to calculate

6.5 The Internal Rate of Return
• IRR: the discount rate that sets NPV to zero • Minimum Acceptance Criteria:
– Accept if the IRR exceeds the required return• Ranking Criteria:
– Select alternative with the highest IRR• Reinvestment assumption:
– All future cash flows assumed reinvested at the IRR

Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
• Disadvantages:– Does not distinguish between investing and
borrowing– IRR may not exist, or there may be multiple
IRRs – Problems with mutually exclusive investments
• Advantages:– Easy to understand and communicate

Consider the following project:

Mutually Exclusive vs. Independent
• 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

NPV versus IRR
• NPV and IRR will generally give the same decision.
• Exceptions:– Non-conventional cash flows – cash flow
signs change more than once– Mutually exclusive projects
• Initial investments are substantially different• Timing of cash flows is substantially different

The Profitability Index
• Disadvantages:– Problems with mutually exclusive investments
• Advantages:– May be useful when available investment
funds are limited– Easy to understand and communicate– Correct decision when evaluating
independent projects

6.8 The Practice of Capital Budgeting
• Varies by industry:
• The most frequently used technique for large corporations is IRR or NPV.
