CHAPTER 11The Basics of Capital Budgeting
Should we build this
plant?
11-2
What is capital budgeting? Analysis of potential additions to
fixed assets. Long-term decisions; involve
large expenditures. Very important to firm’s future.
11-3
Steps to capital budgeting
1. Estimate CFs (inflows & outflows).2. Assess riskiness of CFs.3. Determine the appropriate cost of
capital. (If the new project is as risky as existing assets in the firm, we can use WACC as the cost of capital, also called discount rate. Otherwise we should get the discount rate based on the riskness of the project.)
11-4
Steps to capital budgeting
4. Find NPV=present value of future cash inflow-initial cost.
5. Accept if NPV > 0. (For a normal project, we can
also accept if IRR > WACC.)
11-5
What is the difference between independent and mutually exclusive projects?
Independent projects – if the cash flows of one are unaffected by the acceptance of the other.
Mutually exclusive projects – if the cash flows of one can be adversely impacted by the acceptance of the other. If one project is taken, the other has to be rejected.
11-6
What is the difference between normal and non-normal cash flow streams?
Normal cash flow stream – Cost (negative CF) followed by a series of positive cash inflows. One change of signs.
Non-normal cash flow stream – Two or more changes of signs. Most common: Cost (negative CF), then string of positive CFs, then cost to close project. Nuclear power plant, strip mine, etc.
11-7
We will discuss 3 investment criteria.
Payback NPV IRR
11-8
What is the payback period?
The number of years required to recover a project’s cost, or “How long does it take to get our money back?”
Calculated by adding project’s cash inflows to its cost until the cumulative cash flow for the project turns positive.

Strengths and weaknesses of payback
Strengths Provides an indication of a project’s risk and
liquidity. Easy to calculate and understand.
Weaknesses Ignores the time value of money. Ignores CFs occurring after the payback
period. Tend to bias in favor of short term projects.
11-11
Discounted payback period
Uses discounted cash flows rather than raw CFs.
Disc PaybackL = 2 + / = 2.7 years

Solving for NPV:Financial calculator solution
Enter CFs into the calculator’s CFLO register. CF0 = -100 CF1 = 10 CF2 = 60 CF3 = 80
Enter I/YR = 10, press NPV button to get NPVL = $18.78.

NPV method
NPV= PV of inflows – PV of all Cost
= Net gain in wealth If projects are independent,
accept if the project NPV > 0.
11-17
NPV
If projects are mutually exclusive, accept projects with the highest positive NPV, those that add the most value.
In our example, would accept S if mutually exclusive (NPVs > NPVL), and would accept both if independent.
11-18
Internal Rate of Return (IRR) IRR is the discount rate that forces PV of
inflows equal to cost, and the NPV = 0:
Solving for IRR with a financial calculator: Enter CFs in CFLO register. Press IRR; IRRL = 18.13% and IRRS = 23.56%.

How is a project’s IRR similar to a bond’s YTM?
They are the same thing. Think of a bond as a project.
The YTM on the bond would be the IRR of the “bond” project.
EXAMPLE: Suppose a 10-year bond with a 9% annual coupon sells for $1,134.20. Solve for IRR = YTM = 7.08%, the
annual return for this project/bond.
11-20
Rationale for the IRR method
For normal projects: If IRR > WACC, the project’s rate of return is greater than its costs. There is some return left over to boost stockholders’ wealth.
11-21
Comparing the NPV and IRR methods
NPV always leads to correct decision.
IRR rules some times not. Payback often biases in favor of
quick projects.
You do not need to know MIRR.
11-22
Exercises1. The net present value (NPV) rule can be best
stated as: A)An investment should be accepted if, and only
if, the NPV is exactly equal to zero. B)An investment should be rejected if the NPV is
positive and accepted if it is negative. C) An investment should be accepted if
the NPV is positive and rejected if it is negative.
D) An investment with greater cash inflows than cash outflows, regardless of when the cash flows occur, will always have a positive NPV and therefore should always be accepted.
11-23
3. Net present value __________.
A)is equal to the initial investment in a project B)is equal to the present value of the project
benefits C)is equal to zero when the discount rate
used is equal to the IRR D) is simplified by the fact that future cash
flows are easy to estimate E)requires the firm set an arbitrary cutoff point
for determining whether an investment is acceptable
11-24

A) The NPV is negative B) $ 408.27 C) $ 950.44 D) $1,247.90 E) $4,656.12
11-25
5. A project costs $300 and has cash flows of $75 for the first three years and $50 in each of the project's last three years.
What is the payback period of the project?
A) The project never pays back B) 3.75 years C) 4.50 years D) 5.25 years E) 5.50 years

6. Bill plans to open a do-it-yourself dog bathing center in a storefront. The bathing equipment will cost $50,000.
Bill expects the after-tax cash inflows to be $15,000 annually for 8 years, after which he plans to scrap the equipment and retire to the beaches of Jamaica.
Assume the required return is 20%. What is the project's IRR? Should it be accepted?
A)15%; yes B)15%; no C)25%; yes D) 25%; no E)20%; indifferent
