Chapter Objectives• Identify incremental cash flows relevant to investment
evaluation.• Calculate depreciation expense for tax purposes.• Apply incremental analysis to project evaluation.• Determine how to set the bid price and how to value
options.• Compare mutually-exclusive projects using annual
equivalent costs.

Project Cash Flows• The incremental cash flows for project evaluation
consist of any and all changes in the firm’s future cash flows that are a direct consequence of undertaking the project.
• The stand-alone principle is the evaluation of a project based on the project’s incremental cash flows.
8-5Copyright 2007 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Fundamentals of Corporate Finance 4e, by Ross, Thompson, Christensen, Westerfield & Jordan
Types of Cash Flows• Sunk costs a cost that has already been incurred
and cannot be removed incremental cash flow.
• Opportunity costs the most valuable alternative that is given up if a particular investment is undertaken = incremental cash flow.
• Side effects erosion the cash flows of a new project that come at the expense of a firm’s existing projects = incremental cash flow.
8-6Copyright 2007 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Fundamentals of Corporate Finance 4e, by Ross, Thompson, Christensen, Westerfield & Jordan
Types of Cash Flows (continued)• Financing costs the interest rate used to discount
the cash flows reflects in part the financing costs of the project incremental cash flow.
• An investment of the firm in the project’s net working capital represents an additional cost of undertaking the investment.
• Always use after-tax incremental cash flow, since taxes are definitely a cash flow.

Investment Evaluation
• Step 1 Calculate the tax effect of the decision.
• Step 2 Calculate the cash flows relevant to the
decision.
• Step 3 Discount the cash flows to make the
decision.

Example—Investment Evaluation• Purchase price $42 000• Salvage value $1000 at end of Year 3• Net cash flows Year 1 $31 000
Year 2 $25 000
Year 3 $20 000• Tax rate is 30%• Depreciation 20% reducing balance• Required rate of return 12%

Solution—NPV and Decision
Decision: NPV > 0, therefore ACCEPT.
8-13Copyright 2007 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Fundamentals of Corporate Finance 4e, by Ross, Thompson, Christensen, Westerfield & Jordan
Interest• As the project’s NPV is positive, the cash flows
from the investment will cover interest costs (as long as the interest cost is less than the required rate of return).
• Interest costs should not therefore be included as an explicit cash flow.
• Interest costs are included in the required rate of return (discount rate) used to evaluate the project.
8-14Copyright 2007 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Fundamentals of Corporate Finance 4e, by Ross, Thompson, Christensen, Westerfield & Jordan
Depreciation• The depreciation expense used for capital budgeting
should be the depreciation schedule required for tax purposes.
• Depreciation is a non-cash expense; consequently, it is only relevant because it affects taxes.
• There are two methods of depreciation:– Prime cost (straight-line method in accounting)– Diminishing value (reducing balance method in accounting)
• Depreciation tax shield = DT
where D = depreciation expense
T = marginal tax rate.
8-15Copyright 2007 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Fundamentals of Corporate Finance 4e, by Ross, Thompson, Christensen, Westerfield & Jordan
Disposal of Assets• If the salvage value > book value, a gain is made on
disposal. This gain is subject to tax (excess depreciation in previous periods).
• If the salvage value < book value, the ensuing loss on disposal is a tax deduction (insufficient depreciation in previous periods).
8-16Copyright 2007 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Fundamentals of Corporate Finance 4e, by Ross, Thompson, Christensen, Westerfield & Jordan
Capital Gains Tax• Capital gains made on the sale of assets such as
rental property are subject to taxation.
• For taxation purposes, the calculation of a capital gain is complicated and depends upon whether the seller is an individual or an entity such as a company or trust.
• Capital losses are not a tax deduction but can be offset against future capital gains.
8-17Copyright 2007 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Fundamentals of Corporate Finance 4e, by Ross, Thompson, Christensen, Westerfield & Jordan
Inflation• When a project is being evaluated, anticipated
inflation would be reflected in the estimates of the future cash flows and the interest rate used as the discount rate in the analysis.
• As a result there will be no distortion to the analysis by not identifying inflation specifically.
8-18Copyright 2007 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Fundamentals of Corporate Finance 4e, by Ross, Thompson, Christensen, Westerfield & Jordan
Incremental Form of Analysis• The description ‘incremental’ is often replaced by
‘marginal’.
• The advantage of using a marginal form of analysis is that there will only be one calculation and not two.
• By using a marginal form we are implicitly analysing one option: that is, to do nothing.
• The sign of the NPV tells us whether it is sensible to change or not.

Example—Incremental Cash Flows A firm is currently considering replacing a machine purchased two years ago with an original estimated useful life of five years. The replacement machine has an economic life of three years. Other relevant data is summarised below:

A Note on Cash Flows• Cash flows do not always conveniently occur at the
end of the period.• Taking revenue at the period end is a conservative
approach to evaluation.• If the facts made it necessary to take cash flows as
occurring at the beginning of the period this only requires a minor adjustment to the analysis.
• The period examined could be yearly, monthly or even weekly. If so, the discount rate must match the period (e.g. a weekly analysis needs a weekly rate).
8-24Copyright 2007 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Fundamentals of Corporate Finance 4e, by Ross, Thompson, Christensen, Westerfield & Jordan
Setting the Bid Price• How to set the lowest price that can be profitably
charged.
• Cash outflows are given.
• Determine cash inflows that result in zero NPV at the required rate of return.
• From cash inflows, calculate sales revenue and price per unit.
8-25Copyright 2007 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Fundamentals of Corporate Finance 4e, by Ross, Thompson, Christensen, Westerfield & Jordan
Setting the Option Value
• A buy option is an arrangement that gives the holder the right to buy an asset at a fixed price sometime in the future.
• Option value =
Asset value × Probability of the Value
–
Present value of the exercise price × Probability the exercise price will be paid.

Annual Equivalent Cost (AEC)• When comparing two mutually-exclusive projects with
different lives, it is necessary to make comparisons over the same time period.
• AEC is the present value of each project’s costs calculated on an annual basis.
• NPVs are calculated and then converted to AECs using the relevant PVIFA (present value interest factor for annuities).
• Select the project with the lowest AEC.
8-27Copyright 2007 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Fundamentals of Corporate Finance 4e, by Ross, Thompson, Christensen, Westerfield & Jordan
Example—AEC• Project A costs $3000 and then $1000 per annum for
the next four years.
• Project B costs $6000 and then $1200 for the next eight years.
• Required rate of return for both projects is 10 per cent.
• Which is the better project?

Solution—Interpretation
‘Project A is better because it costs $1946 per year
compared to Project B’s $2325 per year’.

Annual Equivalent Benefit (AEB)• The AEB is used when comparing projects with cash
inflows and outflows but with unequal lives.
• The steps required to calculate the AEB are the same as those used for AEC.
• Select the project with the highest AEB.

Summary and Conclusions• Discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis is a standard
tool in the business world.• The information provided for a specific decision may
be complex; however the analysis reduces to three distinct steps:
- Step 1 Calculate the taxable income
- Step 2 Calculate the cash flows relevant to the decision
- Step 3 Discount the cash flows to make the decision.
• Cash flows should be identified in a way that makes economic sense.
