Forecasting Incremental Earnings


Factors to consider when estimating a projects revenues and
costs:
1. A new product typically has lower sales initially
2. The average selling price of a product and its cost of
production will generally change over time
3. For most industries, competition tends to reduce profit
margins over time

Problem:
Suppose that Linksys is considering the development of a wireless home
networking appliance, called HomeNet, that will provide both the hardware and the
software necessary to run an entire home from any Internet connection. HomeNet
will also control new Internet-capable stereos, digital video recorders, heating and
air-conditioning units, major appliances, telephone and security systems, office
equipment, and so on. The major competitor for HomeNet is a product being
developed by Brandt-Quigley Corporation.

Forecasting Incremental Earnings

Investment & Financing Decisions by the Financial Manger

Problem:
Based on extensive marketing surveys, the sales forecast for HomeNet is
50,000 units per year. Given the pace of technological change, Linksys expects the
product will have a four-year life and an expected wholesale price of $260 (the price
Linksys will receive from stores). Actual production will be outsourced at a cost
(including packaging) of $110 per unit.
To verify the compatibility of new consumer Internet-ready appliances with the
HomeNet system as they become available, Linksys must also establish a new lab for
testing purposes. They will rent the lab space, but will need to purchase $7.5 million
of new equipment. The equipment will be depreciated using the straight-line
method over a 5-year life. Linksys' marginal tax rate is 40%.
The lab will be operational at the end of one year. At that time, HomeNet will be
ready to ship. Linksys expects to spend $2.8 million per year on rental costs for the
lab space, as well as rent marketing and support for this product. Forecast the
incremental earnings from the HomeNet project.
Solution Plan: We need 4 items to calculate incremental earnings:
(1) incremental revenues, (2) incremental costs, (3) depreciation, and
(4) the marginal tax rate:

Forecasting Incremental Earnings


Calculating Incremental Earnings:
(1) Incremental Revenues are:
(2) Incremental Costs are:
additional units sold production costs = 50,000 * $110 = $5,500,000
Selling, General and Administrative = $2,800,000 for marketing and support
(3) Depreciation is:
Depreciable basis Depreciable Life = $7,500,000 5 = $1,500,000
(4) Marginal Tax Rate:
40%
Note: Even though the project lasts for 4 years, the equipment has a 5-year
life, so we must account for the final depreciation charge in the 5th year.

Evaluate:
These incremental earnings are an intermediate step on the way to calculating the
incremental cash flows that would form the basis of any analysis of the HomeNet
project. The cost of the equipment does not affect earnings in the year it is
purchased, but does so through the depreciation expense in the following
five years.

Problem:
Kellogg Company plans to launch a new line of high-fiber, zero-trans-fat breakfast
pastries. The heavy advertising expenses associated with the new product launch
will generate operating losses of $15 million next year for the product. Kellogg
expects to earn pre-tax income of $460 million from operations other than the new
pastries next year. If Kellogg pays a 40% tax rate on its pre-tax income, what will it
owe in taxes next year without the new pastry product?
What will it owe with the new pastries?

Taxing Losses for Projects in Profitable Companies

Execute:
Without the new pastries, Kellogg will owe $460 million 40% = $184 million in
corporate taxes next year.
With the new pastries, Kelloggs pre-tax income next year will be only
$460 million - $15 million = $445 million,
and it will owe $445 million 40% = $178 million in tax.
Evaluate:
Thus, launching the new product reduces Kelloggs taxes next year by
$184 million - $178 million = $6 million.
Because the losses on the new product reduce Kelloggs taxable income
dollar for dollar, it is the same as if the new product had a tax bill of
negative $6 million.
+++ MCO 201 +++ Finance +++ Spring 2016 +++

Andreas Bange Diplom Betriebswirt (FH)

Solution Plan:
We need Kelloggs pre-tax income with and without the new product
losses and its tax rate of 40%. We can then compute the tax without the losses and
compare it to the tax with the losses.

Problem:
Kellogg Company plans to launch a new line of high-fiber, zero-trans-fat
breakfast pastries. The heavy advertising expenses associated with the new product
launch will generate operating losses of $10 million next year for the product.
Kellogg expects to earn pre-tax income of $320 million from operations other than
the new pastries next year. If Kellogg pays a 40% tax rate on its pre-tax income, what
will it owe in taxes next year without the new pastry product? What will it owe with
the new pastries?
Solution Plan:
We need Kelloggs pre-tax income with and without the new product losses and its
tax rate of 40%. We can then compute the tax without the losses and compare it to
the tax with the losses.
Execute:
Without the new pastries, Kellogg will owe $320 million 40% = $128 million in
corporate taxes next year. With the new pastries, Kelloggs pre-tax income next year
will be only $320 million - $10 million = $310 million, and it will owe
$310 million 40% = $124 million in tax.

Solution Plan:
The difference between the Incremental Earnings and Incremental Free Cash Flows
in the HomeNet example will be driven by the equipment purchased for the lab. We
need to recognize the $7.5 million cash outflow associated with the purchase in year
0 and add back the $1.5 million depreciation expenses from year 1 to 5 as they are
not actually cash outflows.

Net Working Capital

Investment & Financing Decisions by the Financial Manger

Problem:
Suppose that HomeNet will have no incremental cash or inventory
requirements (products will be shipped directly from the contract manufacturer to
customers). However, receivables related to HomeNet are expected to account for
15% of annual sales, and payables are expected to be 15% of the annual cost of
goods sold (COGS).
Fifteen percent of $13 million in sales is $1.95 million and 15% of $5.5 million in
COGS is $825,000. HomeNets net working capital requirements are shown in the
following table.

How does the requirement affect the projects free cash flow?

Incorporating Changes in Net Working Capital

Investment & Financing Decisions by the Financial Manger

Solution Plan:
Any increases in net working capital represent an investment that reduces
the cash available to the firm and so reduces free cash flow.
We can use our forecast of HomeNets net working capital requirements to
complete our estimate of HomeNets free cash flow.
In year 1, net working capital increases by $1.125 million. This increase represents a
cost to the firm. This reduction of free cash flow corresponds to the fact that $1.950
million of the firms sales in year 1, and $0.825 million of its costs, have not yet been
paid.
In years 24, net working capital does not change, so no further contributions are
needed.
In year 5, when the project is shut down, net working capital falls by $1.125 million
as the payments of the last customers are received and the final bills are paid.
We add this $1.125 million to free cash flow in year 5.

The free cash flows differ from unlevered net income by reflecting the cash flow effects of
capital expenditures on equipment, depreciation and changes in net working capital. Note
that in the first year, free cash flow is lower than unlevered net income (incremental
earnings), reflecting the upfront investment in equipment. In later years, free
cash flow exceeds unlevered net income because depreciation is not a cash
expense. In the last year, the firm ultimately recovers the investment in net
working capital, which adds to the free cash flow.

Compared with straight-line depreciation, the MACRS method allows for larger
depreciation deductions earlier in the assets life, which increases the present value
of the depreciation tax shield and so will raise the projects NPV. In the case of

Evaluate:
Compared with straight-line depreciation ($15,000,000/5 years = $3,000,000 per
year), the MACRS method allows for larger depreciation deductions earlier in the
assets life, which increases the present value of the depreciation tax shield
and thus will raise the projects NPV.

Adjusting Free Cash Flow


Liquidation or Salvage Value
When an Asset is liquidated, any Capital Gain is taxed as Income

Investment & Financing Decisions by the Financial Manger

Problem:
As production manager, you are overseeing the shutdown of
a production line for a discontinued product. Some of the
equipment can be sold for a total price of $50,000. The
equipment was originally purchased 4 years ago for
$500,000 and is being depreciated according to the 5-year
MACRS schedule. If your tax rate is 35%, what is the aftertax cash flow you can expect from selling the equipment?
Solution Plan:
In order to compute the after-tax cash flow, you will need to compute the Capital
Gain, which requires to know the Book Value of the equipment.
The book value is given as the original purchase price of the equipment less
accumulated depreciation. Thus, you need to follow these steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Use the MACRS schedule to determine the accumulated depreciation.


Determine the book value as purchase price minus accumulated depreciation
Determine the capital gain as the sale price less the book value.
Compute the tax owed on the capital gain and subtract it from the
sale price.

Thus, the accumulated depreciation is


100,000 + 160,000 + 96,000 + 57,600 + 57,600 = 471,200,
such that the remaining book value is $500,000 - $471,200 = 28,800.
(Note we could have also calculated this by summing any years remaining on the
MACRS schedule (Year 5 is 5.76%, so .0576 500,000 = 28,800).

Execute:
The Capital Gain is then
$50,000 - $28,800 = $21,200 and the tax owed is 0.35 $21,200 = $7,420.
Your After-Tax Cash Flow is then found as the Sale price minus the tax owed:
$50,000 - $7,420 = $42,580.

Evaluate:
Because you are only taxed on the capital gain portion of the sale price, figuring the
after-tax cash flow is not as simple as subtracting the tax rate multiplied by the sales
price. Instead, you have to determine the portion of the sales price that represents a
gain and compute the tax from there. The same procedure holds for selling
equipment at a loss relative to book valuethe loss creates a deduction for taxable
income elsewhere in the company.

Problem:
You are trying to decide whether to replace a machine on
your production line. The new machine will cost $1 million,
but will be more efficient than the old machine, reducing
costs by $500,000 per year. Your old machine is fully
depreciated, but you could sell it for $50,000. You would
depreciate the new machine over a 5-year life using MACRS.
The new machine will not change your working capital needs.
Your tax rate is 35%, and your cost of capital is 9%. Should you replace the machine?
