  1. CH 9 Common Criteria for Finding an Acceptable Project

  2. Situation a) Have projects in mind. b) Know the require rate of return c) Know investment horizon (how long to invest) SO, WE WILL NOW Look at ways to help us tell which project is a good project to invest.

  3. Decision-making Criteria in Capital Budgeting How do we decide if a capital investment project should be accepted or rejected?

  4. Common Ways to EvaluateProjects 1) Payback Period (PP) 2) Net Present Value (NPV) 3) Profitability Index (PI) 4) Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

  5. Ideally, the evaluation method should: a) include all cash flows that occur during the life of the project, b) consider the time value of money, and c) incorporate the required rate of return on the project.

  7. Payback Period • Is a 3.33 year payback period good? • Is it acceptable? • Firms that use this method will compare the payback calculation to some standard set by the firm. • If our senior management had set a cut-off of 5 years for projects like ours, what would be our decision? • Accept the project.

  8. Drawbacks of Payback Period • Firm cutoffs are subjective. • Does not consider time value of money. • Does not consider any required rate of return. • Does not consider all of the project’s cash flows.

  10. Other Methods 1) Net Present Value (NPV) 2) Profitability Index (PI) 3) Internal Rate of Return (IRR) Consider each of these decision-making criteria: • All net cash flows. • The time value of money. • The required rate of return.

  11. n t=1 S FCFt (1 + k) NPV = - IO t Net Present Value • NPV = the total PV of the annual net cash flows - the initial outlay.

  12. Net Present Value Decision Rule: • If NPV is positive, accept. • If NPV is negative, reject.

  13. NPV Example • Suppose we are considering a capital investment that costs $250,000 and provides annual net cash flows of $100,000 for five years. The firm’s required rate of return is 15%.

  14. Net Present Value NPV is just the PV of the annual cash flows minus the initial outflow. Using TVM: P/Y = 1 N = 5 I = 15 PMT = 100,000 PV of cash flows =$335,216 - Initial outflow:($250,000) = Net PV$85,216

  15. n t=1 S FCFt (1 + k) NPV = - IO t n t=1 S FCFt (1 + k) PI = IO t Profitability Index

  16. Profitability Index • Decision Rule: • If PI is greater than or equal to 1, accept. • If PI is less than 1, reject.

  17. Internal Rate of Return (IRR) • IRR: The return on the firm’s invested capital. IRR is simply the rate of return that the firm earns on its capital budgeting projects.

  18. n t=1 S FCFt (1 + k) NPV = - IO t n t=1 FCFt (1 + IRR) S IRR: = IO t Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

  19. n t=1 FCFt (1 + IRR) S IRR: = IO t Internal Rate of Return (IRR) • IRR is the rate of return that makes thePV of the cash flowsequal to the initial outlay. • This looks very similar to our Yield to Maturity formula for bonds. In fact, YTM is the IRR of a bond.

  21. IRR with your Calculator • IRR is easy to find with your financial calculator. • Just enter the cash flows as you did with the NPV problem and solve for IRR. • You should get IRR = 28.65%!

  22. IRR Decision Rule: • If IRR is greater than or equal to the required rate of return, accept. • If IRR is less than the required rate of return, reject.

  23. 1 2 3 (500) 200 100 (200) 400 300 0 1 2 3 4 5 • IRR is a good decision-making tool as long as cash flows are conventional. (- + + + + +) • Problem: If there are multiple sign changes in the cash flow stream, we could get multiple IRRs. (- + + - + +)

  24. (900) 300 400 400 500 600 0 1 2 3 4 5 Summary Problem • Enter the cash flows only once. • Find the IRR. • Using a discount rate of 15%, find NPV. • Add back IO and divide by IO to get PI.

  25. (900) 300 400 400 500 600 0 1 2 3 4 5 Summary Problem • IRR = 34.37%. • Using a discount rate of 15%, NPV = $510.52. • PI = 1.57.

  26. Relationship of NPV, IRR, PI The three are closely related • IRR is the require rate of return (k) when NPV is set to equal zero • PI is NPV plus IO then divided by IO
