TERMINAL VALUE
REQUIRED RATE OF RETURN NET CASH FLOWS
IF THE OBJECTIVE IS TO MEASURE THE PROFITABILITY OF THE ASSETS COMMITTED TO THE INVESTMENT, NET CASH FLOWS ARE THE PROJECTED AFTER-TAX CASH FLOWS WITHOUT DEDUCTION OF CHARGES FOR INTEREST OR LOAN PAYMENTS. THE DISCOUNT RATE USED IS THE WEIGHTED AVERAGE COST OF CAPITAL.
BASED ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE FIRMS LEVERAGE OR OVERALL FINANCIAL STRUCTURE DETERMINES THE FINANCING COST OF THE INDIVIDUAL INVESTMENT AND THAT THE FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE INDIVIDUAL INVESTMENT DO NOT SUBSTANTIALLY INFLUENCE THE FIRMS OVERALL COST OF CAPITAL
IF THE OBJECTIVE IS TO MEASURE THE PROFITABILITY OF THE EQUITY CAPITAL COMMITTED TO THE INVESTMENT, NET CASH FLOWS ARE THE PROJECTED AFTER-TAX CASH FLOWS WITH THE DEDUCTION OF CHARGES FOR INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL ON LOAN PAYMENTS. THE DISCOUNT RATE USED IS THE FIRMS COST OF EQUITY CAPITAL.
THIS APPROACH EXPLICITLY ACCOUNTS FOR EACH INVESTMENTS METHOD OF FINANCING. BASED ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE INVESTMENTS FINANCING COSTS MAY STRONGLY INFLUENCE THE FIRMS LEVERAGE AND COST OF CAPITAL.
INITIAL INVESTMENT
THE INITIAL EQUITY THE INVESTOR COMMITS TO THE INVESTMENT. ALL COSTS NECESSARY TO MAKE THE INVESTMENT ARE INCLUDED. IF FINANCING IS USED, THE INITIAL INVESTMENT WILL BE LOWER.
OUTFLOWS INCLUDE:
OPERATING EXPENSES CAPITAL EXPENDITURES INCOME TAXES FINANCING (UNDER THE RETURN-TOEQUITY APPROACH)
TERMINAL VALUE
THE RESIDUAL VALUE OF ASSETS INVOLVED IN THE INVESTMENT. ONLY THE EQUITY PORTION OF ANY SALE OF ASSETS SHOULD BE INCLUDED. ANY OUTSTANDING DEBT WOULD BE REPAID WHEN THE ASSETS ARE SOLD.
DISCOUNT RATE
REAL RISK FREE RATE OF RETURN RISK PREMIUM ANTICIPATED RATE OF INFLATION
THE DISCOUNT RATE SHOULD REFLECT THE COST OF CAPITAL OR THE COST OF FUNDS USED TO FINANCE THE BUSINESS. AN INVESTMENT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE UNLESS IT GENERATES A RETURN SUFFICIENT TO COVER THE COST OF FUNDS.
THE DISCOUNT RATE CONTAINS THREE COMPONENTS: REAL RISK-FREE RATE RISK PREMIUM INFLATION EXPECTATIONS
THE COST OF CAPITAL IS WEIGHTED BY THE PROPORTION OF EACH TYPE OF CAPITAL (DEBT AND EQUITY) IN THE CAPITAL STRUCTURE OF THE FIRM.
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF CAPITAL INVESTED IN A BUSINESS: DEBT CAPITAL EQUITY CAPITAL
COST OF DEBT
The cost of debt is the interest expense associated with the debt capital used in the business. Since interest is a tax deductible expense, the cost of debt should be calculated on an after-tax basis.
COST OF EQUITY
The cost of equity is not as easy to determine as the cost of debt. It involves the concept of opportunity cost and a consideration of the relative risk versus debt capital. The cost of equity to a business should be higher than its cost of debt because equity holders take on more risk than debt holders and therefore expect a higher return.
Risk Premium
Risk
Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is used where a firm is traded on the equity markets (stock market). Formula: Cost of equity capital = Risk free rate + Beta (Market risk premium)
Kc = wd Kd + we Ke Where:
Kc is the weighted average cost of capital wd is the proportion of assets financed with debt Kd is the cost of debt capital we is the proportion of assets financed with equity Ke is the cost of equity capital
DEPRECIATION
AN ACCOUNTING PROCEDURE BY WHICH THE PURCHASE COST OF A DEPRECIABLE ASSET IS PRORATED OVER ITS PROJECTED ECONOMIC LIFE REFLECTS THE ANTICIPATED DECLINE IN THE ASSETS VALUE OVER TIME
DEPRECIATION METHODS
DEPRECIATION IS USED IN THE CALCULATION OF CASH FLOWS TO CALCULATE THE TAXABLE INCOME AND INCOME TAX LIABILITY. DEPRECIATION IS A NON-CASH EXPENSE, THEREFORE, NOT DEDUCTED FROM THE NET CASH FLOW
The payment of income taxes constitutes a cash flow, therefore, income taxes should be accounted for in capital budgeting.
An after-tax cash flow should be estimated using projected before-tax cash flows and deducting tax liabilities.
Net before-tax cash flows are calculated as the net of revenues less related production expenses. Additional deductible expenses in the calculation of income taxes include:
