The document provides an overview of various capital budgeting techniques including payback period, net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), profitability index, and modified internal rate of return (MIRR). It discusses how to apply these methods to evaluate independent and mutually exclusive projects. It also covers topics like capital rationing, increasing marginal cost of capital, and choosing the optimal economic life of a project.

5. What is the payback period? The number of years required to recover a project’s cost, or how long does it take to get the business’s money back?

6. Payback for Franchise L (Long: Most CFs in out years) 10 80 60 0 1 2 3 -100 = CF t Cumulative -100 -90 -30 50 Payback L 2 + 30/80 = 2.375 years 0 100 2.4

7. Franchise S (Short: CFs come quickly) 70 20 50 0 1 2 3 -100 CF t Cumulative -100 -30 20 40 Payback S 1 + 30/50 = 1.6 years 100 0 1.6 =

8. Strengths of Payback: 1. Provides an indication of a project’s risk and liquidity. 2. Easy to calculate and understand. Weaknesses of Payback: 1. Ignores the TVM. 2. Ignores CFs occurring after the payback period.

9. 10 80 60 0 1 2 3 CF t Cumulative -100 -90.91 -41.32 18.79 Discounted payback 2 + 41.32/60.11 = 2.7 yrs Discounted Payback: Uses discounted rather than raw CFs. PVCF t -100 -100 10% 9.09 49.59 60.11 = Recover invest. + cap. costs in 2.7 yrs.

10. NPV: Sum of the PVs of inflows and outflows. Cost often is CF 0 and is negative.

11. What’s Franchise L’s NPV? 10 80 60 0 1 2 3 10% Project L: -100.00 9.09 49.59 60.11 18.79 = NPV L NPV S = $19.98.

12. Calculator Solution Enter in CFLO for L: -100 10 60 80 10 CF 0 CF 1 NPV CF 2 CF 3 I = 18.78 = NPV L

13. Rationale for the NPV Method NPV = PV inflows - Cost = Net gain in wealth. Accept project if NPV > 0. Choose between mutually exclusive projects on basis of higher NPV. Adds most value.

15. Internal Rate of Return: IRR 0 1 2 3 CF 0 CF 1 CF 2 CF 3 Cost Inflows IRR is the discount rate that forces PV inflows = cost. This is the same as forcing NPV = 0.

16. NPV: Enter r, solve for NPV. IRR: Enter NPV = 0, solve for IRR.

17. What’s Franchise L’s IRR? 10 80 60 0 1 2 3 IRR = ? -100.00 PV 3 PV 2 PV 1 0 = NPV Enter CFs in CFLO, then press IRR: IRR L = 18.13%. IRR S = 23.56%.

18. 40 40 40 0 1 2 3 IRR = ? Find IRR if CFs are constant: -100 Or, with CFLO, enter CFs and press IRR = 9.70%. 3 -100 40 0 9.70% INPUTS OUTPUT N I/YR PV PMT FV

19. Rationale for the IRR Method If IRR > WACC, then the project’s rate of return is greater than its cost-- some return is left over to boost stockholders’ returns. Example : WACC = 10%, IRR = 15%. Profitable.

21. Construct NPV Profiles Enter CFs in CFLO and find NPV L and NPV S at different discount rates: r 0 5 10 15 20 NPV L 50 33 19 7 NPV S 40 29 20 12 5 (4)

22. NPV ($) Discount Rate (%) IRR L = 18.1% IRR S = 23.6% Crossover Point = 8.7% r 0 5 10 15 20 NPV L 50 33 19 7 (4) NPV S 40 29 20 12 5 S L

23. NPV and IRR always lead to the same accept/reject decision for independent projects: r > IRR and NPV < 0. Reject. NPV ($) r (%) IRR IRR > r and NPV > 0 Accept.

24. Mutually Exclusive Projects r 8.7 r NPV % IRR S IRR L L S r < 8.7: NPV L > NPV S , IRR S > IRR L CONFLICT r > 8.7: NPV S > NPV L , IRR S > IRR L NO CONFLICT

25. To Find the Crossover Rate 1. Find cash flow differences between the projects. See data at beginning of the case. 2. Enter these differences in CFLO register, then press IRR. Crossover rate = 8.68%, rounded to 8.7%. 3. Can subtract S from L or vice versa, but better to have first CF negative. 4. If profiles don’t cross, one project dominates the other.

26. Two Reasons NPV Profiles Cross 1. Size (scale) differences. Smaller project frees up funds at t = 0 for investment. The higher the opportunity cost, the more valuable these funds, so high r favors small projects. 2. Timing differences. Project with faster payback provides more CF in early years for reinvestment. If r is high, early CF especially good, NPV S > NPV L .

28. Managers like rates--prefer IRR to NPV comparisons. Can we give them a better IRR? Yes, MIRR is the discount rate which causes the PV of a project’s terminal value (TV) to equal the PV of costs. TV is found by compounding inflows at WACC. Thus, MIRR assumes cash inflows are reinvested at WACC.

29. MIRR = 16.5% 10.0 80.0 60.0 0 1 2 3 10% 66.0 12.1 158.1 MIRR for Franchise L (r = 10%) -100.0 10% 10% TV inflows - 100.0 PV outflows MIRR L = 16.5% $100 = $158.1 (1+MIRR L ) 3

30. To find TV with 10B, enter in CFLO: I = 10 NPV = 118.78 = PV of inflows. Enter PV = -118.78, N = 3, I = 10, PMT = 0. Press FV = 158.10 = FV of inflows. Enter FV = 158.10, PV = -100, PMT = 0, N = 3. Press I = 16.50% = MIRR. CF 0 = 0, CF 1 = 10, CF 2 = 60, CF 3 = 80

31. Why use MIRR versus IRR? MIRR correctly assumes reinvestment at opportunity cost = WACC. MIRR also avoids the problem of multiple IRRs. Managers like rate of return comparisons, and MIRR is better for this than IRR.

32. Normal Cash Flow Project: Cost (negative CF) followed by a series of positive cash inflows. One change of signs. Nonnormal Cash Flow Project: 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.

33. Inflow (+) or Outflow (-) in Year 0 1 2 3 4 5 N NN - + + + + + N - + + + + - NN - - - + + + N + + + - - - N - + + - + - NN

34. Pavilion Project: NPV and IRR? 5,000 -5,000 0 1 2 r = 10% -800 Enter CFs in CFLO, enter I = 10. NPV = -386.78 IRR = ERROR. Why?

35. We got IRR = ERROR because there are 2 IRRs. Nonnormal CFs--two sign changes. Here’s a picture: NPV Profile 450 -800 0 400 100 IRR 2 = 400% IRR 1 = 25% r NPV

36. Logic of Multiple IRRs 1. At very low discount rates, the PV of CF 2 is large & negative, so NPV < 0. 2. At very high discount rates, the PV of both CF 1 and CF 2 are low, so CF 0 dominates and again NPV < 0. 3. In between, the discount rate hits CF 2 harder than CF 1 , so NPV > 0. 4. Result: 2 IRRs.

37. Could find IRR with calculator: 1. Enter CFs as before. 2. Enter a “guess” as to IRR by storing the guess. Try 10%: 10 STO IRR = 25% = lower IRR Now guess large IRR, say, 200: 200 STO IRR = 400% = upper IRR

38. When there are nonnormal CFs and more than one IRR, use MIRR: 0 1 2 -800,000 5,000,000 -5,000,000 PV outflows @ 10% = -4,932,231.40. TV inflows @ 10% = 5,500,000.00. MIRR = 5.6%

39. Accept Project P? NO . Reject because MIRR = 5.6% < r = 10%. Also, if MIRR < r, NPV will be negative: NPV = -$386,777.

40. S and L are mutually exclusive and will be repeated. r = 10%. Which is better? (000s) 0 1 2 3 4 Project S: (100) Project L: (100) 60 33.5 60 33.5 33.5 33.5

41. S L CF 0 -100,000 -100,000 CF 1 60,000 33,500 N j 2 4 I 10 10 NPV 4,132 6,190 NPV L > NPV S . But is L better? Can’t say yet. Need to perform common life analysis.

43. Franchise S with Replication: NPV = $7,547. Replacement Chain Approach (000s) 0 1 2 3 4 Franchise S: (100) ( 100 ) 60 60 60 ( 100 ) (40 ) 60 60 60 60

44. Compare to Franchise L NPV = $6,190. Or, use NPVs: 0 1 2 3 4 4,132 3,415 7,547 4,132 10%

45. If the cost to repeat S in two years rises to $105,000, which is best? (000s) NPV S = $3,415 < NPV L = $6,190. Now choose L. 0 1 2 3 4 Franchise S: (100) 60 60 ( 105 ) (45 ) 60 60
