Capital budgeting is the process of planning for major investments in a business These are usually larger projects, for example: Building a new factory Replacing old equipment Starting a new product line
For example:
Should your company spend $1 million today to open a new factory? The answer depends on how much money the new factory will make for the company
This usually requires estimates of what will happen in the future
Examples
Movies Apple iPod Boeing 777 Smaller projects
Software upgrades Equipment replacement/upgrade New product introduction Etc., etc.
After extensive research, you expect the movie to make the following profits, in millions of dollars
Year 1 $75 Year 2 $15 Year 3 $20 Year 4 $4 Year 5 $1
Is this worth a $100 million investment? $75 + $15 + $20 +$4 + $1 = $115 This is not a valid argument because: (1) It does not account for the time is takes to earn the profits (2) It does not consider the return investors require
Decisions
We use several techniques in finance to make capital budgeting decisions The best one is Net Present Value

We estimate that with Ryan Gosling in the movie, the cash flows will be:

IRR The internal rate of return is the discount rate that makes the present value of the future cash flows = the cost of the project
Meaning, the rate where NPV = 0
IRR Example:
A project costs $5,000 will provide cash flows of $3,000 per year for 3 years What is the IRR of this project?
$5,000 = $3,000 $3,000 + 1 + 1 +
2+
$3,000 1 +
Solve this equation for the IRR No easy way to solve this. Trial and error or use a computer/calculator
IRR Example:
A project costs $5,000 and will provide cash flows of $3,000 per year for 3 years What is the IRR of this project?

The Initial project has a higher IRR, but a smaller NPV This is because the interest rates are low enough that the large payment received in year 3 still has considerable PV. This is not true at higher rates.
Because the timing and size of those cash flows are so different, the NPV changes a lot as the discount rate changes
The initial proposal gets a lot of cash early, so it is better at high discount rates The revised proposal gets a lot of cash later, so it is better at lower discount rates

Remember: When comparing mutually exclusive projects, focus on the NPVs, because the IRR can lead you to the wrong decision.
-100,000
It is possible for a project to have more than one solution to the IRR equation
This occurs when the project has both inflows and outflows of cash (the cash flows change sign) Use the NPV
It is OK to make a yes/no decision about a single project with conventional cash flows using IRR
If IRR > Discount rate
When comparing mutually exclusive projects, however, it isnt always correct to pick the one with the higher IRR
Compare the NPVs
Project selection
Which mutually exclusive project would you select, if both are priced at $1,000 and your discount rate is 15%: Project A with three annual cash flows of $1,000; or project B, with 3 years of zero cash flow followed by 3 years of $1,500 annually? A. Project A. B. Project B. C. You are indifferent since the NPVs are equal. D. Neither project should be selected. Find the NPV of each project and choose the one with the higher NPV

If you expect both vehicles to last 4 more years, how high can X be and it still be worth buying the new car?
Rates = 8%
Rates = 8%
You know the total cost per year of the old car: $4,000
You want to compare that to the cost per year of the new car
The EAA of the new car must be < $4,000
Rates = 8%
The cost of the car today is $8,000. The EAA from this amount is: N 4 I 8 PV 8,000 PMT ? FV 0
$2,415.37
This is the equivalent cost per year of the new car based only on its purchase price
Rates = 8%
The cost of the car today is $8,000. The EAA from this amount is: EAA from only the purchase price: $2,415.37 The new car must cost less than $4,000 per year to operate So the most you could spend on annual maintenance is: $4,000 - $2,415.37 = $1,584.63 Any more, and the new car is not worth it.
