Copyright © 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
What is capital budgeting?
Analysis of potential additions to
fixed assets.
Long-term decisions; involve large
expenditures.
Very important to firm’s future.

Copyright © 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
Steps
1. Estimate CFs (inflows & outflows).
2. Assess riskiness of CFs.
3. Determine k = WACC (adj.).
4. Find NPV and/or IRR.
5. Accept if NPV > 0 and/or IRR >
WACC.

What is the difference between
independent and mutually exclusive
projects?
Projects are:
independent, if the cash flows of one
are unaffected by the acceptance of
the other.
mutually exclusive, if the cash flows
of one can be adversely impacted by
the acceptance of the other.

An Example of Mutually Exclusive
Projects
BRIDGE vs. BOAT to get
products across a river.

Normal Cash Flow Project:
Cost (negative CF) followed by a
series of positive cash inflows.
One change of signs.
Two or more changes of signs.
Most common: Cost (negative
CF), then string of positive CFs,
then cost to close project.
Nuclear power plant, strip mine.

money back?

Rationale for the NPV Method
NPV = PV inflows – Cost
= Net gain in wealth.
Accept project if NPV > 0.
Choose between mutually
exclusive projects on basis of
higher NPV. Adds most value.
11 - 17
Copyright © 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
Using NPV method, which project(s)
should be accepted?
If Projects S and L are mutually
exclusive, accept S because
NPVs > NPVL .
If S & L are independent,
accept both; NPV > 0.

Q. How is a project’s IRR
related to a bond’s YTM?
A. They are the same thing.
A bond’s YTM is the IRR
if you invest in the bond.

IRR = 7.08% (use TVM or CFLO).
...
11 - 23
Copyright © 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
Rationale for the IRR Method
If IRR > WACC, then the project’s
rate of return is greater than its
cost--some return is left over to
boost stockholders’ returns.
Example: WACC = 10%, IRR = 15%.
Profitable.

IRR Acceptance Criteria
If IRR > k, accept project.
If IRR < k, reject project.

Copyright © 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
Decisions on Projects S and L per IRR
If S and L are independent, accept
both. IRRs > k = 10%.
If S and L are mutually exclusive,
accept S because IRRS > IRRL .

To Find the Crossover Rate
1. Find cash flow differences between
the projects. See data at beginning
of the case.
2. Enter these differences in CFLO
register, then press IRR. Crossover
rate = 8.68%, rounded to 8.7%.
3. Can subtract S from L or vice versa,
but better to have first CF negative.
4. If profiles don’t cross, one project
dominates the other.
11 - 31
Copyright © 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
Two Reasons NPV Profiles Cross
1. Size (scale) differences. Smaller project
frees up funds at t = 0 for investment.
The higher the opportunity cost, the
more valuable these funds, so high k
favors small projects.
2. Timing differences. Project with faster
payback provides more CF in early
years for reinvestment. If k is high,
early CF especially good, NPVS > NPVL.
11 - 32
Copyright © 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
Reinvestment Rate Assumptions
NPV assumes reinvest at k
(opportunity cost of capital).
IRR assumes reinvest at IRR.
Reinvest at opportunity cost, k, is
more realistic, so NPV method is
best. NPV should be used to choose
between mutually exclusive projects.
11 - 33
Copyright © 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
Managers like rates--prefer IRR to NPV
comparisons. Can we give them a
better IRR?
Yes, MIRR is the discount rate that
causes the PV of a project’s terminal
value (TV) to equal the PV of costs.
TV is found by compounding inflows
at WACC.
Thus, MIRR assumes cash inflows are
reinvested at WACC.

To find TV with HP 10B, enter in CFLO:
I = 10
NPV = 118.78 = PV of inflows.
Enter PV = -118.78, N = 3, I = 10, PMT = 0.
Press FV = 158.10 = FV of inflows.
Enter FV = 158.10, PV = -100, PMT = 0,
N = 3.
Press I = 16.50% = MIRR.
CF0 = 0, CF1 = 10, CF2 = 60, CF3 =
80
11 - 36
Copyright © 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
Why use MIRR versus IRR?
MIRR correctly assumes reinvestment
at opportunity cost = WACC. MIRR
also avoids the problem of multiple
IRRs.
Managers like rate of return
comparisons, and MIRR is better for
this than IRR.

11 - 38
Copyright © 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
We got IRR = ERROR because there
are 2 IRRs. Nonnormal CFs--two sign
changes. Here’s a picture:

NPV
11 - 39
Copyright © 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
Logic of Multiple IRRs
1. At very low discount rates, the PV of
CF2 is large & negative, so NPV < 0.
2. At very high discount rates, the PV of
both CF1 and CF2 are low, so CF0
dominates and again NPV < 0.
3. In between, the discount rate hits CF2
harder than CF1, so NPV > 0.
4. Result: 2 IRRs.
11 - 40
Copyright © 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
Could find IRR with calculator:
1. Enter CFs as before.
2. Enter a “guess” as to IRR by
storing the guess. Try 10%:
10 STO
IRR = 25% = lower IRR
Now guess large IRR, say, 200:
200 STO
IRR = 400% = upper IRR
11 - 41
Copyright © 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
When there are nonnormal CFs and
more than one IRR, use MIRR:
0 1 2
-800,000 5,000,000 -5,000,000
PV outflows @ 10% = -4,932,231.40.
TV inflows @ 10% = 5,500,000.00.
MIRR = 5.6%
11 - 42
Copyright © 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
Accept Project P?
NO. Reject because MIRR =
5.6% < k = 10%.
Also, if MIRR < k, NPV will be
negative: NPV = -$386,777.

Press FV = 158.10 = FV of inflows. Enter FV = 158.10, PV = -100, PMT = 0, N = 3. Press I = 16.50% = MIRR. CF0 = 0, CF1 = 10, CF2 = 60, CF3 = 80

    11 - 38 Copyright© 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved. We got IRR = ERROR because there are 2 IRRs. Nonnormal CFs--two sign changes. Here’s a picture: NPV Profile 450 -800 0 400 100 IRR2 = 400% IRR1 = 25% k NPV

    11 - 39 Copyright© 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved. Logic of Multiple IRRs 1. At very low discount rates, the PV of CF2 is large & negative, so NPV < 0. 2. At very high discount rates, the PV of both CF1 and CF2 are low, so CF0 dominates and again NPV < 0. 3. In between, the discount rate hits CF2 harder than CF1, so NPV > 0. 4. Result: 2 IRRs.
