Estimate future cash flows: how much? and when?,2. Estimate discount rate,3. Estimate initial costs,NPV Decision Rule,If the NPV is positive, accept the project,A positive NPV means that the project is expected to add value to the firm and will therefore increase the wealth of the owners.,Since our goal is to increase owner wealth, NPV is a direct measure of how well this project will meet our goal.,9-,7,NPV Decision Rule,Minimum Acceptance Criteria: Accept if NPV 0,Ranking Criteria: Choose the highest NPV,Example9.1 see page263,Payback,The payback period of a project is the number of years it takes before the cumulative forecasted cash flow equals the initial outlay.,The payback rule says only accept projects that “payback” in the desired time frame.,This method is very flawed, primarily because it ignores later year cash flows and the the present value of future cash flows.,Payback,Example,Examine the three projects and note the mistake we would make if we insisted on only taking projects with a payback period of 2 years or less.,Payback,Example,Examine the three projects and note the mistake we would make if we insisted on only taking projects with a payback period of 2 years or less.,Decision Criteria Test - Payback,Does the payback rule account for the time value of money?,Does the payback rule account for the risk of the cash flows?,Does the payback rule provide an indication about the increase in value?,Should we consider the payback rule for our primary decision rule?,9-,12,Advantages and Disadvantages of Payback,Advantages,Easy to understand,Adjusts for uncertainty of later cash flows,Biased toward liquidity,Disadvantages,Ignores the time value of money,Requires an arbitrary cutoff point,Ignores cash flows beyond the cutoff date,Biased against long-term projects, such as research and development, and new projects,9-,13,Discounted Payback Period,Compute the present value of each cash flow and then determine how long it takes to pay back on a discounted basis,Compare to a specified required period,Decision Rule -,Accept the project if it pays back on a discounted basis within the specified time,9-,14,Computing Discounted Payback for the Project,Assume we will accept the project if it pays back on a discounted basis in 2 years.,Compute the PV for each cash flow and determine the payback period using discounted cash flows,Year 1: 165,000 63,120/1.12,1,= 108,643,Year 2: 108,643 70,800/1.12,2,= 52,202,Year 3: 52,202 91,080/1.12,3,= -12,627 project pays back in year 3,Do we accept or reject the project?,9-,15,Advantages and Disadvantages of Discounted Payback,Advantages,Includes time value of money,Easy to understand,Does not accept negative estimated NPV investments when all future cash flows are positive,Biased towards liquidity,Disadvantages,May reject positive NPV investments,Requires an arbitrary cutoff point,Ignores cash flows beyond the cutoff point,Biased against long-term projects, such as R&D and new products,9-,16,Average Accounting Return,There are many different definitions for average accounting return,The one used in the book is:,Average net income / average book value,Note that the average book value depends on how the asset is depreciated.,Need to have a target cutoff rate,Decision Rule:,Accept the project if the AAR is greater than a preset rate,9-,17,Computing AAR for the Project,Assume we require an average accounting return of 25%,Average Net Income:,(13,620 + 3,300 + 29,100) / 3 = 15,340,AAR = 15,340 / 72,000 = .213 = 21.3%,Do we accept or reject the project?,9-,18,Decision Criteria Test - AAR,Does the AAR rule account for the time value of money?,Does the AAR rule account for the risk of the cash flows?,Does the AAR rule provide an indication about the increase in value?,Should we consider the AAR rule for our primary decision rule?,9-,19,Advantages and Disadvantages of AAR,Advantages,Easy to calculate,Needed information will usually be available,Disadvantages,Not a true rate of return; time value of money is ignored,Uses an arbitrary benchmark cutoff rate,Based on accounting net income and book values, not cash flows and market values,9-,20,IRR Definition and Decision Rule,Definition: IRR is the return that makes the NPV = 0,Decision Rule:,Accept the project if the IRR is greater than the required return,9-,21,Internal Rate of Return,Example,You can purchase a turbo powered machine tool gadget for $4,000. The investment will generate $2,000 and $4,000 in cash flows for two years, respectively. What is the IRR on this investment?,Internal Rate of Return,Example,You can purchase a turbo powered machine tool gadget for $4,000. The investment will generate $2,000 and $4,000 in cash flows for two years, respectively. What is the IRR on this investment?,Internal Rate of Return,Example,You can purchase a turbo powered machine tool gadget for $4,000.
