Profitability Index

*the present value of an investment's future cash flows divided by its initial cost * PV (cash flows) / Absolute value of initial investment

Profitability index

*the present value of an investment's future cash flows divided by its initial cost *PV(cash flows) / absolute value of the initial investment

advantages of Profitability Index

-Closely related to NPV, generally leading to identical decisions - considers all cash flows - considers time value of money -Easy to understand and communicate

Payback Summary

-Length of time until initial investment is recovered -Accept if payback < some specified target -Doesn't account for time value of money -Ignores cash flows after payback -Arbitrary cutoff period

after-tax salvage value

-Many projects will require an investment in long-term assets at the beginning of the project -This would need to be captured in the cash flow analysis (as a cash outflow) at the time of launch -At the end of the project, if there is value in this fixed asset, the after-tax salvage value needs to be determined

Today, Sweet Snacks is investing $491,000 in a new oven. As a result, the company expects its cashflows to increase by $64,000 a year for the next two years and by $98,000 a year for the following three years. How long must the firm wait until it recovers all of its initial investment?

-The project never pays back -The project never pays back because the total cash inflow is only $422,000.

Profitability index summary

-benefit-cost ratio -accept investment if PI > 1 - cannot be used to rank mutually exclusive projects

NPV summary

-difference between market value (PV of inflows) and cost - Accept if NPV > 0 - no serious flaws - preferred decision criterion

IRR summary

-discount rate that makes NPV = 0 -accept if IRR > required return -same decision as NPV with conventional cash flows -unreliable with - non-conventional cash flows and mutually exclusive projects

Pro Forma financial statements

-financial statements that project future years operations -pro forma income statement -pro forma balance sheet -summarizes all of the relevant information for a project - based on assumptions

Relevant Cash flows

-incremental cash flows for a project -include only cash flows that will only occur if the project is accepted - The stand-alone principle allows us analyze each project in isolation from the firm simply by focusing on incremental cash flows

sensitivity analysis

-investigation of what happens to NPV estimates when only one variable is changed -shows how changes in one input variable affect NPV or IRR -each variable is fixed except one -change one variable to see the effect on NPV or IRR -answers "what if" questions

erosion

-the cash flow of a new project that comes at the expense of a firm's existing projects -also known as "product cannibalization"

scenario analysis

-the determination of what happens to NPV estimates when we ask what-if questions -examines several possible situations: -worst case - base case or most likely case - best case -provides a range of possible outcomes

depreciation tax shield

-the tax savings that results from the depreciation deduction -calculated as depreciation multiplied by the corporate tax rate *depreciation x tax rate

IRR - issues

-there are situations where NPV and IRR give conflicting answers - non-convential cash flows - mutually-exclusive projects -use NPV when there is a conflict

side effect/erosion

-when a company launches a new product, there could be a "spillover" impacts on the sales of existing products (i.e. "side effects")

Empire Industries is considering adding a new product to its lineup. This product is expected to generate sales for four years after which time the product will be discontinued.

a cash inflow at Time zero and a cash outflow at the end of the project

Sunk Cost

a cost that has already been paid and cannot be recouped therefore it should not be considered in an investment decision

The pro forma income statements for a proposed investment should include all of the following except:

changes in net working capital

Scenario analysis

after-tax salvage

salvage amount - tax rate [salvage amount - book value]

Bruce Moneybags owns several restaurants and hotels near a local interstate. One restaurant, Beef and More, originally cost $1.8 million, is currently fully paid for, but needs modernized. Bruce is trying to decide whether to accept an offer and sell Beef and More, as is, for the offer price of $1.1 million or renovate the restaurant himself. The projected renovation cost is $1.3 million. The restaurant would need to be shut down completely during the renovation which would cause an aftertax net loss of $90,000 in today's dollars. The estimated present value of the cash inflows from the renovated restaurant is $3.2 million. When analyzing the renovation project, what cost, if any, should be included for the current restaurant?

$ Million

China Importers would like to spend $215,000 to expand its warehouse. However, the company has a loan outstanding that must be repaid in 2.5 years and thus will need the $215,000 at that time. The warehouse expansion project is expected to increase the cash inflows by $60,000 in the first year, $140,000 in the second year, and $150,000 a year for the following 2 years. Should the firm expand at this time? Why or why not?

*Payback = 2 + ($215,000 − 60,000 − 140,000) / $150,000 = 2.10 years *Yes, the company should accept the expansion project because it pays back within the required 2.5 years.

ACCEPT THE PROJECT

Consider an asset that costs $311,000 and is depreciated straight-line to zero over its six-year tax life. The asset is to be used in a four-year project; at the end of the project, the asset can be sold for $58,000. If the relevant tax rate is 34 percent, what is the aftertax cash flow from the sale of this asset?

Aftertax salvage value = $58,000 − [$58,000 − ($311,000 × 2/6)] × .34 = $73,526.67

Guerilla Radio Broadcasting has a project available with the following cash flows : YearCash Flow 0−$14,800 1 6,100 2 7,400 3 5,100 4 4,700 What is the payback period?

Amount short after 2 years = $14,800 − 6,100 − 7,400 Amount short after 2 years = $1,300 Payback period = 2 + $1,300/$5,100 Payback period = 2.25 years

Power Manufacturing has equipment that it purchased 7 years ago for $1,950,000. The equipment was used for a project that was intended to last for 9 years. However, due to low demand, the project is being shut down. The equipment was depreciated using the straight-line method and can be sold for $280,000 today. The company's tax rate is 40 percent. What is the aftertax salvage value of the equipment?

Annual depreciation = $1,950,000/9 Annual depreciation = $216,667 Book value = $1,950,000 − 7($216,667) Book value = $433,333 Tax refund (due) = ($433,333 − 280,000)(.40) Tax refund (due) = $61,333 Aftertax salvage value = $280,000 + 61,333 Aftertax salvage value = $341,333

A 7-year project is expected to generate annual sales of 8,600 units at a price of $73 per unit and a variable cost of $44 per unit. The equipment necessary for the project will cost $293,000 and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the life of the project. Fixed costs are $175,000 per year and the tax rate is 34 percent. How sensitive is the operating cash flow to a $1 change in the per unit sales price?

Base OCF = [8,600($73 − 44) − 175,000](1 − .34) + .34($293,000/7) Base OCF = $63,335 New OCF = [8,600($74 − 44) − 175,000](1 − .34) + .34($293,000/7) Base OCF = $69,011 Change in OCF = ($63,335 − 69,011)/(73 − 74) Change in OCF = $5,676

You are analyzing a project and have developed the following estimates. The depreciation is $17,340 a year and the tax rate is 34 percent. What is the best-case operating cash flow?:

A project has an annual operating cash flow of $52,620. Initially, this four-year project required $5,160 in net working capital, which is recoverable when the project ends. The firm also spent $39,700 on equipment to start the project. This equipment will have a book value of $17,014 at the end of Year 4. What is the cash flow for Year 4 of the project if the equipment can be sold for $15,900 and the tax rate is 35 percent?

CF4 = $52,620 + 5,160 + 15,900 − [($15,900 − 17,014) × .35] = $74,069.90

CF4 = $52,620 + 5,160 + 15,900- [($15,900 -17,014) ×.35] = $74,069.90

A project has projected values of: unit sales = 1,650, price per unit = $19, variable cost per unit = $7, fixed costs per year = $4,700. The depreciation is $1,100 a year and the tax rate is 34 percent. What effect would a decrease of $1 in the variable cost per unit have on the operating cash flow?

Change in OCF = (1,650 × $1) × (1 − .34) = $1,089 A decrease in variable costs will increase the operating cash flow.

Change in OCF = (1,650 ×$1) ×(1 -.34) = $1,089 A decrease in variable costs will increase the operating cash flow

You are analyzing a project and have developed the following estimates: unit sales = 2,150, price per unit = $84, variable cost per unit = $57, fixed costs per year = $13,900. The depreciation is $8,300 a year and the tax rate is 35 percent. What effect would an increase of $1 in the selling price have on the operating cash flow?

Change in OCF = (2,150 × $1) × (1 − .35) = $1,397.50

Net present value

British Metals is reviewing its current accounts to determine how a proposed project might affect the account balances. The firm estimates the project will initially require $81,000 in additional current assets and $57,000 in additional current liabilities. The firm also estimates the project will require an additional $8,000 a year in current assets in each of the first three of the four years of the project. How much net working capital will the firm recoup at the end of the project assuming that all net working capital can be recaptured?

Net working capital recovery = $81,000 − 57,000 + (3 × $8,000) = $48,000

The Sausage Hut is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $187,400. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's four-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $25,000. The sausage system will save the firm $69,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $9,000, which will be recouped at project end. If the tax rate is 34 percent and the discount rate is 12 percent, what is the NPV of this project?

OCF = $69,000 (1 − .34) + ($187,400 /4)(.34) = $61,469 NPV = −$187,400 − 9,000 + ($61,469 × {1 − [1 / (1 + .12)^4]} / .12) + {$9,000 + [$25,000 × (1 − .34)]} / (1 + .12)^4 NPV = $6,508.54

Outdoor Sports is considering adding a miniature golf course to its facility. The course would cost $138,000, would be depreciated on a straight-line basis over its five-year life, and would have a zero salvage value. The estimated income from the golfing fees would be $72,000 a year with $24,000 of that amount being variable cost. The fixed cost would be $11,600. In addition, the firm anticipates an additional $14,000 in revenue from its existing facilities if the golf course is added. The project will require $3,000 of net working capital, which is recoverable at the end of the project. What is the net present value of this project at a discount rate of 12 percent and a tax rate of 34 percent?

OCF = ($72,000 -24,000 -11,600 + 14,000) ×(1 - .34) + ($138,000/5) ×.34 = $42,648 NPV = -$138,000 - 3,000 + ($42,648 ×{1 - [1 / (1.12)^5]} / .12) + ($3,000 / 1.12^5) = $14,438.78

Consider an asset that costs $680,000 and is depreciated straight-line to zero over its 9-year tax life. The asset is to be used in a 5-year project; at the end of the project, the asset can be sold for $159,000. If the relevant tax rate is 24 percent, what is the aftertax cash flow from the sale of this asset?

The asset has a useful life of 9 years and we want to find the book value of the asset after 5 years. With straight-line depreciation, the depreciation each year will be: Annual depreciation = $680,000/9 Annual depreciation = $75,556 So, after 5 years, the accumulated depreciation will be: Accumulated depreciation = 5($75,556) Accumulated depreciation = $377,778 The book value at the end of Year 5 is thus: BV5 = $680,000 - 377,778 BV5 = $302,222 The asset is sold at a loss to book value, so the depreciation tax shield of the loss is recaptured. Aftertax salvage value = $159,000 + ($302,222 - 159,000)(.24) Aftertax salvage value = $193,373 To find the taxes on salvage value, remember to use the equation: Taxes on salvage value = (BV - MV)TC This equation will always give the correct sign for a tax inflow (refund) or outflow (payment).
