Earlier we had looked at the issue of capital
budgeting focused on the appropriate size andtiming of cash flows.
This chapter discusses the appropriate discountrate when cash flows are risky.

Because stockholders can reinvest the dividend in risky financialassets, the expected return on a capital-budgeting project should beat least as great as the expected return on a financial asset ofcomparable risk.
A firm with excess cash can either pay adividend or make a capital investment

An all-equity firm should accept projects whose IRRs exceed the costof equity capital and reject projects whose IRRs fall short of the cost
of capital.

Market Portfolio - Portfolio of all assets in theeconomy. In practice, a broad stock market index,
such as the S&P 500, is used to represent themarket.
Beta -Sensitivity of a stocks return to the return
on the market portfolio.

Problems
1. Betas may vary over time.
2. The sample size may be inadequate.
3. Betas are influenced by changing financialleverage and business risk.

Solutions
Problems 1 and 2 can be moderated by moresophisticated statistical techniques.
Problem 3 can be lessened by adjusting for changes in business and financial risk.
Look at average beta estimates of comparable firms inthe industry.

Highly cyclical stocks have higher betas.Empirical evidence suggests that retailers andautomotive firms fluctuate with the business cycle.Transportation firms and utilities are less dependenton the business cycle.
Note that cyclicality is not the same as variability stocks with high standard deviations
need not have high betas.Movie studios have revenues that are variable,depending upon whether they produce hits orflops, but their revenues may not be especiallydependent upon the business cycle.

The degree of operating leverage measures howsensitive a firm (or project) is to its fixed costs.
Operating leverage increases as fixed costs rise and variable costs fall.Operating leverage magnifies the effect of cyclicalityon beta.The degree of operating leverage is given by:

Operating leverage refers to the sensitivity to the firmsfixed costs of production .Financial leverage is the sensitivity to a firms fixed costsof financing .The relationship between the betas of the firms debt,equity, and assets is given by:
Financial leverage always increases the equity betarelative to the asset beta.

Consider Grand Sport, Inc., which is currently all-equityfinanced and has a beta of 0.90.The firm has decided to lever up to a capital structure of1 part debt to 1 part equity.Since the firm will remain in the same industry, its assetbeta should remain 0.90.However, assuming a zero beta for its debt, its equity
beta would become twice as large:
b Asset = 0.90= 1 + 1
1 b Equity b Equity = 2 0.90 = 1.80

The DDM is an alternative to the CAPM for calculating afirms cost of equity.
The DDM and CAPM are internally consistent, butacademics generally favor the CAPM and companies seem touse the CAPM more consistently.
The CAPM explicitly adjusts for risk and it can be used oncompanies that do not pay dividends.

Suppose the Conglomerate Company has a cost of capital,based on the CAPM, of 17%. The risk-free rate is 4%, the marketrisk premium is 10%, and the firms beta is 1.3.17% = 4% + 1.3 10%This is a breakdown of the companys investment projects:
1/3 Automotive Retailer b = 2.0
1/3 Computer Hard Drive Manufacturer b = 1.3
1/3 Electric Utility b = 0.6average b of assets = 1.3
When evaluating a new electrical generation investment,
which cost of capital should be used?

First, we estimate the cost of equity andthe cost of debt.
We estimate an equity beta to estimate the
cost of equity. We can often estimate the cost of debt byobserving the YTM of the firms debt.
Second, we determine the WACC by weighting these two costs appropriately.

The industry average beta is 0.82, the risk free rateis 3%, and the market risk premium is 8.4%.
Thus, the cost of equity capital is:

= 3% + 0.82 8.4%

The yield on the companys debt is 8%, and thefirm has a 37% marginal tax rate.The debt to value ratio is 32%
8.34% is Internationals cost of capital. It should be used todiscount any project where one believes that the projects riskis equal to the risk of the firm as a whole and the project has
the same leverage as the firm as a whole.
