Chapter 8: Fundamentals of Capital Budgeting - 1 Supplement to Text Chapter 8: Fundamentals of Capital Budgeting Note: Read the chapter then look at the following. Fundamental question: How do we determine the cash flows we need to calculate the net present value of a project? Key: most managers estimate a project’s cash flows in two steps: 1) Impact of the project on the firm’s incremental earnings 2) Use incremental earnings to determine the project’s incremental cash flows Notes: 1) incremental = change as a result of the investment decision 2) revenues and expenses occur throughout the year, but we will treat them as if they come at end of the year => this is a standard assumption used by the text 8.1 Forecasting Earnings Basic Question: How do firm’s unlevered earnings change as result of an investment decision? A. Excel => for real projects, difficult to do by hand => use Excel Note: don’t hardcode (enter numbers) directly into formulas. Have your formulas refer to the section of your spreadsheet where you input the numbers (the text makes this point on p. 245). Chapter 8: Fundamentals of Capital Budgeting - 2 Supplement to Text B. Calculating by hand: 𝑈𝑁𝐼 = 𝐸𝐵𝐼𝑇 × (1 − 𝜏𝑐) = (𝑅 − 𝐸 − 𝐷)(1 − 𝜏𝑐) (8.2) where: UNI = incremental unlevered net income => counting only incremental operating cash flows, but no financing cash flows EBIT = incremental earnings before interest and taxes c = firm’s marginal corporate tax rate R = incremental revenues E = incremental expenses (or costs) Note: Book uses costs, I will use “expenses” so can have an “E” instead of a “C” in the equation. Will use “C” for cash in new working capital in section 8.2 D = incremental depreciation C. Identifying Incremental Earnings 1. General Principles Basic question: How do the earnings (and cash flows) for the entire firm differ with the project verses without the project? => count anything that changes for the firm => count nothing that remains the same Example of costs that often don’t change with new project: fixed overhead expenses => don’t count previous or committed spending unless can get some back if don’t proceed => part can’t get back is called sunk costs Ex. money already spent to research and develop a product Ex. completed feasibility studies Ex. money spent on a partially completed building that can be sold Chapter 8: Fundamentals of Capital Budgeting - 5 Supplement to Text 8.2 Determining Free Cash Flow and NPV A. Calculating Free Cash Flow from Earnings Keys: 1) start with incremental unlevered net income 2) back out non-cash items in UNI 3) add cash items not in UNI FCF = UNI + D – CE - NWC (8.5a) where: CE = incremental after-tax capital expenditures NWC = change in net working capital associated with project NWCt = NWCt – NWCt-1 (8.4) NWC = CA – CL = C + AR + I – AP (8.3) CA = incremental current assets CL = incremental current liabilities C = incremental cash AR = incremental accounts receivable I = incremental inventory AP = incremental accounts payable 𝐹𝐶𝐹 = (𝑅 − 𝐸 − 𝐷) × (1 − 𝜏𝑐) + 𝐷 − 𝐶𝐸 − ∆𝑁𝑊𝐶 (8.5b) 𝐹𝐶𝐹 = (𝑅 − 𝐸) × (1 − 𝜏𝑐) − 𝐶𝐸 − ∆𝑁𝑊𝐶 + 𝜏𝑐 × 𝐷 (8.6) Note: 𝜏𝑐 × 𝐷 is the depreciation tax shield => reduction in taxes that stem from deducting deprecation for tax purposes => depreciation increases cash flows because reduce tax payments B. Notes 1. Depreciation (D) => add back to FCF since subtracted from UNI but doesn’t involve a cash outlay Chapter 8: Fundamentals of Capital Budgeting - 6 Supplement to Text 2. Capital Expenditures (CE) => incremental capital spending creates an outflow of cash that isn’t counted in UNI Note: cost is recognized in UNI over the life of the asset through depreciation => incremental asset sales are entered as a negative CE => creates a cash inflow => positive impact through equations as subtract a negative CE => must also consider tax implications of any asset sales 3. Change in Net Working Capital (NWC) 1) sales on credit generate revenue but no cash flow 2) the collection of receivables generates a cash inflow but no revenue 3) the sale of inventory generates an expense but no cash outflow 4) the purchase of inventory generates a cash outflow but no expense => subtracting the change in net working capital adjusts for these issues Notes on changes in net working capital: 1. recovery of net working capital => Changes in net working capital are usually reversed at the end of the project Ex. Cash put into cash registers is no longer needed when close a store 2. taxability => changes in net working capital are not taxable => buying inventory doesn’t create taxable income, selling inventory for a profit does D. Calculating NPV 𝑃𝑉(𝐹𝐶𝐹𝑡) = 𝐹𝐶𝐹𝑡 (1+𝑟)𝑡 = 𝐹𝐶𝐹𝑡 × 1 (1+𝑟)𝑡 (8.7) Note: We really don’t need this equation. It is essentially (4.2) Chapter 8: Fundamentals of Capital Budgeting - 7 Supplement to Text 8.3 Choosing Among Alternatives A. Evaluating Manufacturing Alternatives Note: To decide between alternatives, can compare the NPVs of alternatives. However, can also decide by calculating the NPV of the difference in cash flows. Example from text (p. 247): Differences in Cash Flows (In-House – Outsourced): Yr 0 = –3000 = – 3000 – 0 Yr 1 = –117 = – 5067 – (– 4950) Yr 2 – 4 = +900 = – 5700 – (– 6600) Yr 5 = +1017 = – 633 – (– 1650) NPV (differences) = −3000 − 117 1.12 + 900 .12 (1 − ( 1 1.12 ) 3 ) ( 1 1.12 ) + 1017 (1.12)5 = −597 Note: Same result as text Difference in text = – 20,107 – (– 19,510) = – 597 Video Solution Concept Check: all 8.4 Further Adjustments to Free Cash Flow 1. Other non-cash items => should back out (from UNI) any other non-cash items 2. Timing of Cash Flows => cash flows likely spread throughout year instead of at end of year => might increase accuracy if estimate cash flows over smaller time periods 3. Accelerated Depreciation Key issue: accelerated depreciation allows earlier recognition of depreciation => get cash flows from tax shield earlier => present value of tax shield higher Chapter 8: Fundamentals of Capital Budgeting - 10 Supplement to Text Example 2: Assume you are trying to decide whether to rent a building for $30,000 a year for the next 2 years (payments are due at the end of the year). A year from today you plan to purchase inventory for $50,000 that you will sell immediately for $110,000. Two years from today you plan to purchase inventory for $70,000 that you will sell immediately for $150,000. Assume also that need to hold cash balances (to facilitate operations) of $1000 a year from today and $1500 two years from today. Calculate the store’s incremental unlevered net income and free cash flow for each year of operation if the corporate tax rate is 35%. Note: You would probably take the cash out of the store when you close your doors two years from today…but I am assuming you leave it to better demonstrate changes in net working capital. 𝑈𝑁𝐼 = 𝐸𝐵𝐼𝑇 × (1 − 𝜏𝑐) = (𝑅 − 𝐸 − 𝐷)(1 − 𝜏𝑐) NWC = C + AR + I – AP FCF = UNI + D – CE - NWC UNI1 = (110,000 – (30,000+50,000) – 0)(1 – .35) = $19,500 UNI2 = (150,000 – (30,000+70,000) – 0)(1 – .35) = $32,500 Note: holding cash doesn’t affect UNI Net Working Capital: t = 0 t = 1 t = 2 t = 3 Cash 0 1000 1500 0 A/R - - - - Inventory - - - - A/P - - - - NWC 0 1000 1500 0 NWC 0 1000 500 – 1500 FCF1 = 19,500 – 1000 = 18,500 FCF2 = 32,500 – 500 = 32,000 FCF3 = 0 – (–1500) = 1500 Key: don’t have access to all of the cash flows generated by sales since must hold some cash at the store.

A year from today you plan to purchase inventory for $50,000 that you will sell immediately for $110,000. Two years from today you plan to purchase inventory for $70,000 that you will sell immediately for $150,000. Seventy-five percent of sales will be on credit that you will collect one year after the sale. Assume also that need to hold cash balances (to facilitate operations) of $1000 a year from today and $1500 two years from today. Calculate the store’s incremental unlevered net income and free cash flow for each year of operation if the corporate tax rate is 35%.

Today you plan to purchase inventory for $50,000 that you will sell a year from today for $110,000. A year from today you plan to purchase inventory for $70,000 that you will sell two years from today for $150,000. Sixty percent of all inventory purchases will be on credit due one year after you buy it. Seventy-five percent of sales will be on credit that you will collect one year after the sale. Assume also that need to hold cash balances (to facilitate operations) of $1000 a year from today and $1500 two years from today. Calculate the store’s incremental unlevered net income and free cash flow for each year of operation if the corporate tax rate is 35%.
