Capital budgeting procedure
• Remember the steps we follow– Estimate the incremental cash flows generated by the
project– Discount the free cash flow based on the project’s
cost of capital to determine the NPV• How to estimate the appropriate cost of capital?• How does the financing decision affect the free
cash flows and the project’s cost of capital?

Some simplifying assumptions
• To lay out the method of valuation we require three simplifying assumptions– The project has average risk (same as the firm’s)– The firm’s debt-to-equity ratio is fixed over time– Corporate taxes are the only imperfection
• We will simplify some assumptions later on
![Page 5: Capital budgeting and valuation with leverage](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816054550346895dcf7c98/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The WACC methodTo calculate project value • Calculate project’s (unlevered) FCFs– see chapter 7
• Discount using WACC
rwacc = E/(E+D) rE + D/(E+D) rD(1-τc)
VL = PV(FCF’s, rwacc)

Deriving the WACC method
![Page 7: Capital budgeting and valuation with leverage](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816054550346895dcf7c98/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Deriving the WACC method
![Page 8: Capital budgeting and valuation with leverage](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816054550346895dcf7c98/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Using WACC an Example
• Example page 577• Avco, Inc. is a manufacturer of custom packaging
products and is considering a new line of packaging (RFX) that includes an embedded radio-frequency identification tag. This improved technology will become absolute after 4 years. In the meanwhile it is expected to increase sales by $60 million per year. Manufacturing costs and operating expenses are expected to be $25 million and $9 million respectively per year.
![Page 9: Capital budgeting and valuation with leverage](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816054550346895dcf7c98/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Using WACC an Example
• Example continued• Developing the product will require upfront R&D
and marketing expenses of $6.67 million together with an investment of $24 million in equipment. The equipment will be obsolete in four years and will depreciate via straight-line method over that period. Avco bills its customers in advance, and it expects no net working capital requirements for the project. Avco’s tax rate is 40%.
![Page 10: Capital budgeting and valuation with leverage](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816054550346895dcf7c98/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
First step: predicting FCF’s• This implies the following steam of expected
future cash flows
![Page 11: Capital budgeting and valuation with leverage](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816054550346895dcf7c98/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Calculating WACC
• The market risk of RFX is expected to be similar to that for the company’s other lines of business.
• We will use WACC to discount the cash flows generated from the project
• We need information on the Avco’s capital structure
• This can be found in the firm’s balance sheet
![Page 12: Capital budgeting and valuation with leverage](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816054550346895dcf7c98/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The data we need
![Page 13: Capital budgeting and valuation with leverage](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816054550346895dcf7c98/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
NPV calculation
![Page 14: Capital budgeting and valuation with leverage](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816054550346895dcf7c98/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Using the APV method when D/E ratio is fixed
• See chapter 15 for the case of fixed $D• Alternative method of valuation
• First, calculate the unlevered value VU by discounting FCF’s using rU. With constant D/E ratio we can estimate rU by:
• Second, calculate the value of the interest tax shield. With constant D/E ratio we discount the tax shield with rate rU
APV: VL = APV = VU + PV(int. tax shield)
rU = (D/(E+D))rD + (E/(D+E))rE

The unlevered value of the project
• The RFX project has initial investment of $28 million and 4 annual FCF’s of $18 million
• We discount FCF’s using Avco’s unlevered cost of capital (with target leverage ratio)

One more example
• Example – Avco is considering an acquisition of another firm in the same industry. Expected FCF’s will increase by $3.8 million @ t=1, and will grow at annual rate of 3% from then on. The purchase price is $80 million will be financed with $50 million in new debt initially. Avco maintain a constant D/E ratio for the acquisition.

Valuation using WACC
![Page 25: Capital budgeting and valuation with leverage](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816054550346895dcf7c98/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Project-based cost of capital
![Page 26: Capital budgeting and valuation with leverage](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816054550346895dcf7c98/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Project-based cost of capitalhow to find WACC of project?
• Up to now we assumed that the project is in the same line of business as the rest of the firm and that it is financed while maintaining the same capital structure
• This allowed us to assume that the cost of capital of the project equals the firm’s WACC
• Sometimes these assumptions do not apply• Consider GE– GE Commercial Finance, GE Aviation, GE Healthcare,
GE Energy, NBC Universal, among others
![Page 27: Capital budgeting and valuation with leverage](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816054550346895dcf7c98/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Project-based cost of capital
Firm
project
Comparable firms
rU (comp. firms) = rU (project)
![Page 28: Capital budgeting and valuation with leverage](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816054550346895dcf7c98/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Project-based cost of capital
Calculating WACC for project• Identify comparable firms in the same industry of
the project (comparable risk)• Calculate average unleveraged cost of capital of
comparable firms• Use this as the project’s unleveraged cost of capital• Given debt cost of capital you can calculate the
project equity cost of capital• Then, given tax rate and firm’s capital structure you
can calculate WACC for the project
![Page 29: Capital budgeting and valuation with leverage](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816054550346895dcf7c98/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Project-based cost of capital
Numerical example• Suppose now that Avco launches a new plastics
manufacturing division with different market risk than its main packaging business
• WACC of Avco is no longer relevant to us• Instead, we estimate the unlevered cost of capital
(rU) of other plastic manufacturers• Remember this represents the underlying risk of
the firm’s assets before we account for leverage effects
![Page 30: Capital budgeting and valuation with leverage](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816054550346895dcf7c98/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Step one: calculate unlevered cost of capital for comparable firms
• You identify two single-division plastics firms that have similar business risk
![Page 31: Capital budgeting and valuation with leverage](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816054550346895dcf7c98/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Step two: calculate equity cost of capital for project
• Back to our project• Remember, our project will be financed with debt
and equity and therefore we will benefit from the interest tax shield
• Suppose Avco maintains its capital structure (equal mix of debt and equity) when adopting the project, and that it will continue to borrow at 6%
• Then, Avco’s equity cost of capital is
![Page 32: Capital budgeting and valuation with leverage](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816054550346895dcf7c98/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Step 3: calculate WACC for project
• Once we have the equity cost of capital, the debt cost of capital, and marginal tax rate we can compute the project’s WACC
![Page 33: Capital budgeting and valuation with leverage](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816054550346895dcf7c98/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Changing Capital Structure andWACC
![Page 34: Capital budgeting and valuation with leverage](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816054550346895dcf7c98/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Levering up and WACC
• What happens to WACC when the firm increases leverage?
Example page 592• Consider a firm with debt-to-equity ratio of
25%, debt cost of capital of 6.67%, equity cost of capital of 12%, and tax rate of 40%
• Its current WACC is,
![Page 35: Capital budgeting and valuation with leverage](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816054550346895dcf7c98/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Levering up and WACC
• Example continued• Now suppose that the firm changes its debt-
to-equity ratio to 50%• What is wrong with the calculation:
rWACC (new) = 0.5 x 12% + 0.5 x 6.67% x (0.6) = 9%
![Page 36: Capital budgeting and valuation with leverage](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816054550346895dcf7c98/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Levering up and WACC
• Two things can happen when levering up– First with higher leverage payments to equity
holders bear more risk– Second with higher leverage the required rate of
return on the firm’s debt by investors might increase• Suppose that now debt holders require 7.34%
instead of 6.67%• To recalculate the firm’s WACC lets go back and
calculate the firm’s unlevered cost of capital
