c. AAR does not use the time value of money, cash flows or the
market value of assets.
Being short term oriented, he may make the mistake of turning down the
project even though it will increase cash flow because of his fear of
investors negative reaction to the more widely reported quarterly
decline in earnings per share. Even though this decline will be
temporary, investors might interpret it as a negative signal.
12-7. Payback
Payback for Investment X Payback for Investment Y
$40,000 $ 6,000 1 year $40,000 $15,000 1 year
34,000 8,000 2 years 25,000 20,000 2 years
26,000 9,000 3 years 5,000/ 10,000 2.5 years
17,000 17,000 4 years
Payback: Investment X = 4.00 years
Payback: Investment Y = 2.5 years
Investment Y would be selected because of the faster payback.
You should select Project X because it has the higher profitability index.
This is true in spite of the fact that it has a lower net present value. The
profitability index may be appropriate when you have different size
investments. What can be earned on the differential investment of $12,000
(between projects) may be relevant.

a. The original cost of the building would be deducted from the Class
3 pool as the lower of sale price or original cost is used when
disposing of an asset. The Class 3 UCC is:
$12,000,000
4,500,000
$ 7,500,000
The present value of the tax shield lost on disposal would be:
Salvage d Tc/ (d + r)
= $4,500,000 .05 .40/ (.05 + .12)
= $4,500,000 .1176471
= $529,412
The $500,000 difference ($5,000,000 $4,500,000) would be a capital gain
for tax purposes. Fifty percent of a capital gain is taxable. Zebras tax on the
taxable capital gain is:
0.50 capital gain T PVIF (n = 1, i = 12%)
= 0.50 $500,000 .4 PVIF (n = 1, i = 12%)
= $89,286
The total present value of tax consequences
= $529,412 + $89,286 = $618,698
The tax on the taxable capital gain is $89,286 (as in part a).
The total present value of tax consequences
= $(535,714) + $705,882 + $89,286 = $259,454
b. Year 1
Increase in pools UCC = $95,000
Allowable CCA in 1st year = 1/2 ($95,000 .30)
= $14,250
Year 2
Remaining increase in UCC = $95,000 $14,250
= $80,750
Additional CCA allowable = $80,750 .30
= $24,225
Since there was only $800,000 in the pool, that is the basis for
calculating the tax shield lost on disposal.
The present value of the tax shield lost on disposal would be:
Amount lost from pool (salvage) dTc / (d + r)
= $600,000 .15 .40 / (.15 + .10)
= $600,000 .240
= $144,000
Since there was only $600,000 in the pool, that is the basis for
calculating the tax shield lost on disposal.
a. The CCA class for aircraft is Class 9, with a CCA rate of 25%.
c. The CCA class for hangars is class 6, with a CCA rate of 10%.
d. After 10 years the UCC of Class 9 will be(including CCA for the
10th year):
If the plane is scrapped after the 10th year the consequences are:
Recapture of $200,000
98,549
$101,451
NPV = $(185,753)
Elite Car Rental Corporation should not purchase the autos as the
firms value will decrease by $185,753.
PV of inflows $70,825
Profitability index(PI ) = = = 0.984
PV of outflows $72,000
PV of inflows $623,066
c. Profitability index(PI ) = = = 1.057
PV of outflows $589,398
This is calculated @13%.
d. Jagged Pill should purchase the new machine. Value will increase
by $33,668 (the NPV), the IRR exceeds the cost of capital and the
PI exceeds 1.
Note:The tax is paid one year after the realization of the capital
gain (year 8). This assumption is consistent with other treatments
for analysis purposes.
Rinkydink should not purchase the vacant lot. Its purchase will
decrease the value of the firm by $76,434.
If the tax on the capital gain is taken at year 7 its PV is negative
$32,234 and the overall present value is a negative $81,807.
PV of inflows $484,384
c. Profitability index(PI ) = = = 1.005
PV of outflows $482,156
Just above 1 indicating profitability. (Info from part (a))
d. Dream the impossible dream as it will add value to Quixotic Enterprises.
Blue Sky Ltd. should proceed. Value will be added to the firm.
Watch the complete differences between what essentially are two
options.
NPV = $(2,414)
St. Bernard should not proceed with the venture. Value will not be
added to the firm.
This case places emphasis on comparing the payback method, the internal
rate of return, and the net present value approaches for a series of
investments. As the student progresses through the calculations, the various
advantages and disadvantages of the different approaches become evident.
The reinvestment assumption of a high return project under the internal rate
of return can be highlighted and evaluated. Capital rationing is also
introduced into the case and plays a part in the analysis. Finally, the issue of
reported earnings to shareholders versus sophisticated capital budgeting
techniques is brought up and makes for interesting classroom discussion.
Are shareholders more concerned with next quarters earnings or long-term
benefits?
a. Total Reported Earnings increases for each projects:
We are told in the case that Kay Marsh is sensitive to Aerocomps level of
earnings. Therefore, Project B, with over $820,000 in reported earnings
increases (twice as much as any of the other projects), will be the one that
attracts Kays attention. (She may initially be swayed by the $192,206 that
Project D brings in during the first year, but the losses in years three through
five will probably cause her to reject that alternative quickly.)
Note: Projects A and C both produce earnings decreases for the first two
years. We would suspect that if Emily thinks that either of these two should
c.
1. According to the Payback period, Project D should be selected. The
initial investment of $510,000 is recovered in the second year.
2. The chief disadvantage of the Payback Period is obvious at once: the
method ignores cash flows occurring after the payback period. In this
case such an omission is disastrous, since Project Ds reported
earnings and cash flows fall off significantly after the payback period
and never recover. Another disadvantage of the Payback Period is that
it does not consider the timing of cash flows during the payback
period.
3. In general, the Payback Period should not be used. However, it is used
from time to time because it is easy to understand, and because it
favors projects that pay off quickly. This can be an important factor in
some fast-paced industries where a quick return is important. The
Payback Period may have some justification as a backup method, but
not as the primary analytical tool.
