Three important points should be noted in the equation for ra (or WACC):

1) For computational convenience, it is best to convert the weights into decimal form and leave the individual costs in percentage terms 2) The weights must be non-negative and sum to 1.00. (WACC must account for all financing costs within the firm's capital structure) 3) The firm's common stock equity weight, ws, is multiplied by either the cost of retained earnings, rr, or the cost of new common stock, rn.

Trade-Off Theory

1) Interest is tax-deductible expense 2) Interest Rates 3) So, there is a threshold debt level 4) Theory and empirical evidence support these ideas 5) Hence, the capital structure is a trade off between tax benefit and bankruptcy cost 6) Many large, successful firms use much less debt than the theory suggests, leading to the development of signaling theory

Five Steps of the Capital Budgeting Process:

1) Proposal Generation 2) Review and Analysis 3) Decision Making 4) Implementation 5) Follow-Up

Two forms of common stock financing

1) Retained Earnings 2) New Issues of Common Stock

What two things does the cost of capital represent?

1) The firm's total cost of financing (what they pay to get capital) as a % of the total financing, and 2) The minimum rate of return as a % that an investment must earn to add value to the firm (what they need to earn as a % of the total investment)

The three ways to determine pre-tax cost of debt

1) Using market quotations 2) Calculating the cost 3) Approximating the cost

Duchess Corporation has a 40% tax rate. Using the 9.452% before-tax debt cost calculated using Excel or a financial calculator, we find an after-tax cost of debt of:

5.67%, which is 9.453% * (1-0.40).

Perry purchased 100 shares of Ferro, Inc. common stock for $25 per share one year ago. During the year, Ferro, Inc. paid cash dividends of $2 per share. The stock is currently selling for $30 per share. If Perry sells all of his shares of Ferro, Inc. today, what rate of return would he realize?

: Realized return = 28%

Beta coefficient (b)

A relative measure of nondiversifiable risk. An index of the degree of movement of an asset's return in response to a change in the market return; An asset's historical returns are used in finding the asset's beta coefficient; The beta coefficient for the entire market equals 1.0. All other betas are viewed in relation to this value

Net Present Value (NPV)

A sophisticated capital budgeting technique; found by subtracting a project's initial investment from the present value of its cash inflows discounted at a rate of equal to the firm's cost of capital NPV = Present Value of Cash Inflows - Initial Investment

A) less than the cost of new common stock equity B) equal to the cost of new common stock equity C) greater than the cost of new common stock equity D) not related to the cost of new common stock equity

A) less than the cost of new common stock equity

We look for a signal from management action

An action taken by a firm's management that provides clues to investors about how management views firm's capital prospects

What do most firms attempt to maintain?

An optimal mix of debt and equity financing (capital structure)

Operating Expenditures

An outlay of funds by the firm resulting in benefits received within 1 year

Capital Expenditure

An outlay of funds by the firm that is expected to produce benefits over a period of time greater than 1 year

Robin wishes to determine the return on two stocks she owned in 2012. At the beginning of the year, Apple stock traded for $411.23 per share, and Wal-Mart was valued at $60.33. During the year, Apple paid dividends of $5.30, and Wal-Mart shareholders received dividends of $1.59 per share. At the end of the year, Apple stock was worth $532.17 and Wal-Mart sold for $68.23. Calculate the annual rate of return, r, for each stock

Apple: ($5.30 + $532.17 - $411.23) ÷ $411.23 = 30.7% Wal-Mart: ($1.59 + $68.23 - $60.33) ÷ $60.33 = 15.7%

Norman Company wants to choose the better of two investments, A and B. Each requires an initial outlay of $10,000 and each has a most likely annual rate of return of 15%. Management has estimated the returns associated with each investment Asset A Asset B Initial Investment - $10,000 - $10,000 Annual Rate of Return Pessimistic. 13% 7% Most Likely. 15% 15% Optimistic 17% 23% Range 4% 16%

Asset A appears to be less risky than asset B. The risk averse decision maker would prefer asset A over asset B, because A offers the same most likely return with a lower range (risk).

The combination of debt and equity used to finance a firm:

Assist the firm in acquiring assets and in providing operational working capital

How do we capture all of the relevant financing costs?

Assuming some desired mix of financing, we need to look at the overall cost of capital rather than just the cost of any single source of financing

Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)

Basic theory that links risk and return for all assets; Quantifies the relationship between risk and return; Measures how much additional return an investor should expect from taking a little extra risk

What is the only relevant risk?

Because any investor can create a portfolio of assets that will eliminate virtually all diversifiable risk, the only relevant risk is nondiversifiable risk

Trade-Off Theory: So, There is a Threshold Debt Level

Below this point, the effects are immaterial; Beyond this point, the higher interest rates reduce the tax benefits and along with much higher bankruptcy costs lower the value of the stock

How is the length of the maximum acceptable payback period determined?

By management

Cost of debt varies with ______

Capital Structure

Opportunity Costs

Intermediate Cash Inflows

Cash inflows received prior to the termination of the project

Sunk Costs

Cash outlays that have already been made (past outlays) and therefore have no effect on the cash flows relevant to a current decision, Sunk costs should not be included in a project's incremental cash flows (market research)

What can reduce the overall variability of a portfolio's returns?

Combining assets that have a low correlation with each other

Cost of Each Source of Capital for the Firm

Cost of Long-Term Debt Cost of Preferred Stock Cost of Common Stock Cost of Using Retained Earnings

Risk and return characteristics can increase or decrease a _____________

Firm's share price

Decision Making

Firms typically delegate capital expenditure decision making on the basis of dollar limits

Implementation

Following approval, expenditures are made and projects implemented. Expenditures for a large project often occur in phases

Net Present Value Profiles

Graphs that depict a project's NPVs for various discount rates

When companies evaluate investment opportunities using the PI, the decision rule they follow is to invest in the project when they index is:

Greater than 1.0

What does the CAPM rely on?

Historical data, which means the betas may or may not actually reflect the future variability of returns

What do relevant cash flows represent?

How much better or worse off the firm will be if it chooses to implement the proposal

IRR Decision Criteria

If the IRR is greater than the cost of capital, accept the project If the IRR is less than the cost of capital, reject the project

Decision Criteria for NPV

If the NPV is greater than $0, accept the project If the NPV is less than $0, reject the project

If the NPV is greater than $0, the firm will earn a return greater than its cost capital. Such action should....

Three Basic Components of cash flows of any project

Initial Investment, Operating Annual Net Cash Flows, and terminal Cash Flow

What does IRR assume?

Intermediate cash flows are reinvested at the IRR

What does NPV assume?

Common method for scenario analysis

Involves considering pessimistic (worst), most likely (expected), and optimistic (best) outcomes and the returns associated with them for a given asset

Is simply the rate of return (YTM) the firm must pay on new borrowing

What should you do to reduce overall risk?

It is best to diversify by combining (or adding to the portfolio) assets that have the lowest possible correlation

What does the payback methods popularity result from?

Its computational simplicity and intuitive appeal

Typically, the cost of long-term debt for a given firm is always _____ than the cost of preferred or common stock

Less

Trade-Off Theory: Interest is Tax-Deductible Expense

Sources of Capital (Cash)

Long Term Debt (Bonds) Equity (Stock) - Preferred Stock - Common Stock Retained Earnings

Sources of Capital

Long-Term Debt Stockholders' Equity Preferred Stock Common Stock Equity Common Stock Retained Earnings

Signal Theory, Basic Assumption

Managers have better information about the firm's prospects than do outside investors (called asymmetric infromation)

How does a company determine its optimal capital structure?

Maximizing the firm's stock price

For replacement decisions, identifying relevant cash flows for replacement decisions is ________________

More complicated, because the firm must identify the incremental cash outflow and inflows that would result from the proposed replacement

Multiplying the before-tax cost, rd, by 1 minus the firm's tax rate, T, as state in the following equation:

A project's __________________ are the net incremental after-tax cash flows over a project's life

Net Cash Flows

Using market quotations

Perpetual Annuity model

Mutually Exclusive Projects

Projects that compete with one another, so that the acceptance of one eliminates from further consideration all other projects that serve a similar function

Independant Projects

Projects whose cash flows are unrelated to (or independent of) one another; the acceptance of one does not eliminate the others from further consideration

Proposal Generation

Proposals for new investment projects are made at all levels within a business organization and are reviewed by finance personnel

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACCC) ra

Reflects the expected average future cost of capital over the long run

To evaluate investment opportunities, financial managers must determine the ___________________

Relevant Cash Flows

Follow-Up

Results are monitored and actual costs and benefits are compared with those that were expected. Action may be required if actual outcomes differ from projected ones

Trade-Off Theory: Interest Rates

Rise as the debt ratio (debt to assets) increases; The probability of bankruptcy increases as debt increases and the debt ratio increases

Two Key Financial Considerations

Risk and Return

Three categories used to describe how investors respond to risk

Risk averse, risk neutral, risk seeking

What two parts can Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) be divided into?

Risk-Free Rate of Return and Risk Premium

Required returns specified by the model should be used only as _________________

Rough approximations

The cash flows associated with the sale of Duchess Corporation's bond issue are as follows (from the corporation's point of view) End of Year(s) Cash Flow 0 $960 1-20 -$90 20 -$1,000 We can determine the cost of debt by finding the YTM, which is the discount rate that equates the present value of the bond outflows (coupon payments and par amount to the initial inflow (price of the bond).

Solution = 9.452

What is the most common statistical indicator of an asset's risk?

Standard Deviation

Benjamin Corporation, a growing computer software developer, wishes to determine the required return on asset Z, which has a beta of 1.5. The risk-free rate of return is 7%; the return on the market portfolio of assets is 11%.

Substituting bZ = 1.5, RF = 7%, and rm = 11% into the CAPM yields a return of: rZ = 7% + [1.5 ´ (11% - 7%)] = 7% + 6% = 13%

Market Risk Premium

The (rm - Rf) portion of the risk premium; It represents the premium the investor must receive for taking the average amount of risk associated with holding the market portfolio of assets

Signal Theory: The firm builds reserve borrowing capacity

The ability to borrow money at a reasonable cost when good investment opportunities arise Firms often use less debt than optimal to ensure that they can obtain debt capital later if it is needed

What does the incremental cash flows represent?

The additional after-tax cash flows (outflows or inflows) that will occur only if the firm makes the investment

Terminal Cash Flow

The after-tax non operating cash flow occurring in the final year of a project it is usually attributable to liquidation of the project

Payback Method

The amount of time required for a firm to recover its initial investment in a project, as calculated from cash inflows

What is the major weakness of the payback period?

The appropriate payback period is merely a subjectively determined number It cannot be specified in light of the wealth maximization goal because it is not based on discounting cash flows to determine whether they add to the firm's value

Cost of a New Issue of Common Stock, rn

The cost of common stock, net of underpricing and associated flotation costs

Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

The discount rate that equates the NPV of an investment opportunity with $0 (because the present value of cash inflows equals the initial investment); The rate of return that the firm will earn if it invests in the project and receives the given cash inflows

What does the cost of capital reflect?

The entirety (all of) of the firm's financing activites

Required return on common stock equation

The equation indicates that the cost of common stock equity can be found by dividing the dividend expected at the end of year 1 by the current market price of the stock (the "dividend yield") and adding the expected growth rate (the "capital gains yield")

Accept-Reject Approach

The evaluation of capital expenditure proposals to determine whether they meet the firm's minimum acceptance criterion

Capital Rationing

The financial situation in which a firm has only a fixed number of dollars available for capital expenditures, and numerous projects for these dollars

Unlimited Funds

The financial situation in which a firm is able to accept all independent projects that provide an acceptable return

What do the IRR decision criteria guarantee?

The firm will earn at least its required return. Such an outcome should increase the market value of the firm and, therefore, the wealth of its owners

What does the interest expense on debt reduce?

The firm's taxable income and, therefore, the firm's tax liability

One underlying cause of conflicting ranking is

The implicit assumption concerning the reinvestment of intermediate cash inflows

Operating Annual Net Cash Flows

The incremental net cash inflows resulting from implementation of a project during its life

How to find the IRR using the preprogrammed function in a financial calculator

The keystrokes for each project are the same as those for the NPV calculation, except that the last two NPV keystrokes (punching I and then NPV) are replaced by a single IRR keystroke

The NPV approach favors the investment that makes the investor ___________

The most money (like the $1,000 investment that yields $1,100 in one day)

The Cost of New Asset

The net outflow necessary to acquire a new asset (land/design and permitting/construction costs/equipping costs/merchandising costs)

Target Capital Structure

The optimal mix of debt, preferred stock, and common equity with which the firm plans to finance its investments May change over time Intentional trade-off between risk and return to achieve goal of maximizing the price of stock

Despite its theoretical superiority, however, financial managers prefer to use the IRR approach just as often as the NPV method because of ______________________.

The preference for rates of return

Capital Budgeting

The process of evaluating and selecting long-term investments that are consistent with the firm's goal of maximizing owner wealth

Ranking Approach

The ranking of capital expenditure projects on the basis of some predetermined measure, such as the rate of return

Cost of Common Stock Equity, rs

The rate at which investors discount the expected dividends of the firm to determine its share value (stock price)

Another reason why the IRR and NPV methods may provide different ranking for investment options has to do with the differences in ________________

The timing of cash flows

By measuring how quickly the firm recovers its initial investment, the payback period also gives implicit consideration to _____________________.

The timing of cash flows

Why do new shares need to be underpriced?

To encourage investors to purchase it

True or False: Combining negatively correlated assets can reduce the overall variability of returns.

True

True or False: Most managers are risk-averse, since for a given increase in risk they require an increase in return

True

True or False: NPV and IRR methods should reach the same conclusion about the acceptability or non-acceptability of the same project.

True

New shares are ________ if the stock is sold at a price below its current price, P0

Underpriced

Two components of flotation costs

Underwriting costs and administrative costs

In earlier examples, we found the costs of the various types of capital for Duchess Corporation to be as follows: -Cost of debt, ri = 5.67% -Cost of preferred stock, rp = 10.61% -Cost of retained earnings, rr = 13.05% -Cost of new common stock, rn = 14.05% - The company uses the following weights in calculating its weighted average cost of capital: -Weight of long-term debt = 40% -Weight of preferred stock = 10% -Weight of common stock equity = 50% Weight of new common stock equity = 0%

WACC = 9.86%

How do you find the weighted average cost of capital (WACC)?

Weighting the cost of each specific type of capital by its proportion in the firm's capital structure

How do you determine fi you used the cost of retained earnings or the cost of new common stocks in WACC?

Which cost is used depends on whether the firm's common stock equity will be financed using retained earnings, rr, or new common stock, rn.

Portfolio

a statistical measure of the relationship between any two series of numbers

If the payback period is less than the maximum acceptable payback period, ________ the project

accept

Scenario Analysis

Constant-Growth Valuation (Gordon) model

assumes that the value of a share of stock equals the present value of all future dividends (assumed to grow at a constant rate) that it is expected to provide over an infinite time horizon

A third weakness of payback is its failure to recognize __________ that occur after the payback period

cash flows

Total Risk

combination of a security's nondiversifiable risk and diversifiable risk

Underwriting Costs

compensation earned by investment bankers for selling the security (1/2% to 2% of total value)`

Conflicting Rankings

conflicts in the ranking given a project by NPV and IRR, resulting from differences in the magnitude and timing of cash flows

Because it can be viewed as a measure of risk exposure, many firms use the payback period as a ___________________ or as a supplement to other decision techniques
