CAPITAL BUDGETING

CAPITAL BUDGETING. Capital budgeting is finance terminology for the process of deciding whether or not to undertake an investment project. There are two standard concepts used in capital budgeting : Net present value (NPV) and Internal rate of return (IRR).

  1. CAPITAL BUDGETING

  2. Capital budgeting is finance terminology for the process of deciding whether or not to undertake an investment project. There aretwostandard concepts used in capital budgeting: • Net present value (NPV) and • Internal rate of return (IRR).

  3. The NPV Rule for Judging Investments and Projects Suppose you are considering a project that has cash flows CF0, CF1, CF2, . . . , CFN. Suppose that the appropriate discount rate for this project is r. Then the NPV of the project is:

  4. NPV = CF0 /(1 + r )0 +CF1/(1 + r )1+CF2/(1 + r )2 + · · ·+ CFN/(1 + r )N Rule:A project is worthwhile by the NPV rule if its NPV > 0. Suppose we apply the NPV criterion to projects A and B:

  5. Project A involves buying expensive machinery that produces a better product at a lower cost. The machines for project A cost $1,000 and, if purchased, you anticipate that the project will produce cash flows of $500 per year for the next five years. Project B’s machines are cheaper, costing $800, but they produce smaller annual cash flows of $420 per year for the next five years. We’ll assume that the correct discount rate is 12%.

  6. Both projects are worthwhile, since each has a positive NPV. If we have to choose between the two projects, then project A is preferred to project B because it has the higher NPV.

  7. The IRR Rule for Judging Investments An alternative to using the NPV criterion for capital budgeting is to use the internal rate of return (IRR). IRR is defined as the discount rate for which the NPV equals zero.

  8. Both project A and project B are worthwhile, since each has an IRR > 12%, which is our relevant discount rate. If we have to choose between the two projects then, project B is preferred to project A because it has a higher IRR.

  9. NPV or IRR, Which to Use?

  10. Do NPV and IRR Produce the Same Project Rankings? NPV and IRR do not necessarily rank projects the same!

  11. Ranking mutually exclusive projects by NPV and IRR can lead to possibly contradictory results. Where a conflict exists between NPV and IRR then, the project with the larger NPV is preferred. The NPVcriterion is the correct criterion to use for capital budgeting.

  12. When the discount rate is low, project A has a higher NPV than project B. • But when the discount rate is high, project B has a higher NPV. • There is a crossover point that marks the disagreement/agreement range. • • Project A’s NPV is more sensitive to changes in the discount rate than project B’s NPV. The reason for this is that project A has substantially more of its cash flows at later dates than project B.
