Corporate Financial Decision Making
Module 5a: Capital Budgeting Part 1
Capital Budgeting
Capital Asset: an asset used in
the production of goods or
services.
Capital Budget: a plan for
expenditures on capital assets.
Capital Budgeting: the process of
determining how much to spend
and which capital assets to buy.
Capital Budgeting Process
• As with all corporate financial decisions, the process is cash flow based
• Steps:
1.
Determine
the change in
cash flows from
the investment.
2.
Forecast
the amounts and
timing of the
cash flows.
3.
Analyze
the cash flows to
decide whether to
invest in the asset.
Forecasting the Relevant Cash Flows
• There are three cash flows related to a capital asset: the cost
of buying it, using it, and selling it
• In more formal terms:

Net Cash Outlay: the cash outflow from buying and
installing the new asset, and selling the old asset (covered
in this module)
Forecasting the Relevant Cash Flows

Operating Cash flows: the marginal*, after-tax cash
inflows from the operation of the asset over its useful
economic life (covered in this module)
*Marginal = cash flownew – cash flowold
• Terminal Cash flow: the cash inflow from the sale of the
asset at the end of its useful economic life (covered in the
next module)

*Issues
Tax Effects
Issue 1: + Taxes on proceeds on sale: tax effects of selling the old
asset

VARIABLES: book value, purchase price, selling price, recaptured
depreciation

Book value: The purchase price of the assets less depreciation to
date

Purchase price: the purchase price of the asset being sold

Selling price: the proceeds on sale of the asset being sold

Recaptured depreciation: the firm may recover some depreciation
expense when the asset is sold
Tax Effects
POSSIBLE TAX EFFECTS:
• None: proceeds on sale = book value (exchanging one
asset for another asset of the same value)
• Capital loss: proceeds on sale are less than book value:
results in a tax credit at the capital gains tax rate (15%)
Tax Effects
• Capital gain: proceeds on sale are greater than the
purchase price; taxed at the capital gains tax rate (15%)
• Recaptured depreciation: proceeds on sale are greater
than book value but less than purchase price: company
recaptures some of the depreciation cost; taxed at the
ordinary income tax rate (30%)
Tax Effects: the Cash Distribution Table
To find the tax effects of selling the asset being replaced, we use the cash
distribution table.

Put the proceeds on sale at the bottom of the distribution column, then distribute the proceeds, working from the top down. 2. Complete the calculations identified in the calculation column. 3. Multiply the values in the calculation column by the tax rates in the tax effect column. 4. Add the values in the tax effect column to find the total taxes or tax credits from the sale.

Working Capital The easiest way to understand the impact of the change in working capital on cash flows is to think of it as a change in inventory: • ↑ inventory: use cash to buy inventory = cash outflow • ↓ inventory: don't have to keep as much on hand = cash inflow Net Cash Outlay • Example 5: NJ Best, Inc.

Depreciation: depreciation expense affects cash
flows because it decreases the firm’s taxes.
However, since it is a non-cash expense, it is added
back to find the operating cash flow.

• We will be using straight-line depreciation:
• Straight-line depreciation = Cost of new asset/years in asset’s
life
• Example 8: An asset costs $1,000,000, and has a useful life of
5 years. What is the annual depreciation expense for this
asset?

Module 6a: Capital Budgeting 2
Terminal Cash Flow
Capital Budgeting 2

In Module 5, you learned to forecast the net cash outlay
and operating cash flows. In this module, we will cover
calculating the terminal cash flow, as well as analyzing
the cash flows.

Recall that a firm will buy an asset (net cash outlay),
use it over its useful life (marginal operating cash flows),
and then sell it (terminal cash flow)
Forecasting the Terminal Cash Flow

Terminal Cash Flow: the cash inflow from the sale or disposal of
the asset at the end of its useful economic life

Three cash flows:

The amount for which the asset can be sold

The taxes on the sale of the asset, if any*

Returning working capital to the state it was in before the asset
was purchased**
* Use the cash distribution table
** If working capital increased (decreased) in the net cash outlay, it must
be decreased (increased) in the terminal cash flow
Forecasting the Terminal Cash Flow
Returning working capital to the state it was in before the asset was
purchased in Year 0:
Net Cash Outlay
Terminal Cash Flow
• Inflows are negative;
outflows are positive
• ↑ working capital: positive
• ↓ working capital: negative
• Inflows are positive;
outflows are negative
• ↓ working capital: positive
• ↑ working capital: negative
Forecasting the Terminal Cash Flow
Example 1: Suppose we purchased an asset that produced our product
faster. We had to keep an extra $10,000 in inventory on hand, which would
increase our working capital:
Net Cash Outlay
• ↑ working capital: add
$10,000 to the net
cash outlay
Terminal Cash Flow
• ↓ working capital: add
$10,000 to the terminal
cash flow
Forecasting the Terminal Cash Flow
Example 2: Returning to NJ Best in Module 5, we had a $9,000 decrease in
working capital; in the terminal cash flow, we must increase our working
capital by $9,000:
Net Cash Outlay
Terminal Cash Flow
• ↓ working capital:
subtract $9,000 from
the net cash outlay
• ↑ working capital:
subtract $9,000 from
the terminal cash flow
Forecasting the Terminal Cash Flow
Terminal Cash Flow:
+ Proceeds on sale of asset purchased in Year 0
+ Taxes on proceeds on sale
+ Change in working capital
= Terminal cash flow
Forecasting the Terminal Cash Flow
Example 2 (continued): Returning to NJ Best, we can sell the
asset purchased in Year 0 for $100,000. What are the tax effects
of the sale? (Recall that we depreciated the asset down to zero)

Capital Budgeting: the Go – No Go Decision
• Now we’ve forecasted the relevant cash flows for a capital
asset, we must analyze them and use that analysis as the
basis for a go-no go decision.
• Three methods used in the go-no go decision
• Payback period
• Net present value
• Internal rate of return
The Payback Period

PAYBACK PERIOD = number of years or partial years it takes to
recover the net cash outlay

Decision rule: choose asset with shortest payback period

Example 3: your company needs to buy a new machine. Below
are the cash flows for two possible replacements Which one
should you purchase?
Machine A Machine B
Net cash outlay (2,000,000) (1,500,000)

Choose Machine B because its payback period is 3 years, while
Machine A’s is 4 years.
Net Present Value

NET PRESENT VALUE = PVnet cash benefits – Net cash outlay
= PVfuture cash flows – Net cash outlay


Future cash flows = Marginal OCFsusing asset + Terminal CFdisposing asset
Decision rules:

NPV < 0 don’t buy asset: cash outflows > cash inflows

NPV > 0 buy asset: cash outflows < cash inflows • NPV = 0 cash outflows = cash inflows: look at other issues Net Present Value Example 4: Should NJ Best invest in the asset for which we've calculated the relevant cash flows?

Internal Rate of Return
Example 5: A firm has a cost of capital of 5%. It is
considering buying a machine that will require a net cash
outflow of $150,000. It will generate cash flows of $62,000
in year 1, $53,000 in year 2, and $44,000 in year 3. Should
it invest in this asset? Justify your answer.

Assuming its in an area, that a hotdog stand would be (city, near a store, at an event). Assuming the owner has some business experience. Net Cash Outlay Assumptions: In our scenario the sole proprietor is new to the hotdog business and does not need to dispose of any old assets. This results in all of the items within the net cash outlay calculation appearing as expenses. These expenses take the form of equipment, initial inventory, licences and other ancillary items. We are working under the assumption that all of these items will be purchased without financing and are inclusive of all initial business expenses. Summary of Assumptions: The cash flow for the hotdog business has a steady increase between 9%-11% throughout four years. This cash flow is based upon rising revenue, consistent operational expenses, resulting in an increasing net income. We can assume a few things within this business. For starters we assume that there will be no e ... Purchase answer to see full attachment
