CAPITAL BUDGETING
CAPITAL BUDGETING – the process of identifying, evaluating, planning, and financing capital
investment projects of an organization.
NET INVESTMENT – costs or cash outflows less cash inflows or savings incidental to the
acquisition of the investment projects.
NET RETURNS
1. Accounting net income
2. Net cash inflows
COST OF CAPITAL – the cost of using funds; it is also called hurdle rate, required rate of
return, cut-off rate, opportunity cost of capital.
- The weighted average rate of return the company must pay to its long-term creditors
and shareholders for the use of their funds.
Disadvantages:
1. Payback does not consider the time value of money. All cash received during the
payback period is assumed to be of equal value in analyzing the project.
2. It gives more emphasis on liquidity rather than on profitability of the project. In other
words, more emphasis is given on return of investment rather than the return on
investment.
3. It does not consider the salvage value of the project.
4. It ignores the cash flows that may occur after the payback period.
BAIL-OUT PERIOD = cash recoveries include not only the operating net cash inflows but also
the estimated salvage value or proceeds from sale at the end of each year of the life of the
project.

ACCOUNTING RATE OF RETURN = also called book value rate of return, financial statement
method, average return on investment and unadjusted rate of return.
PROFITABILITY INDEX
= Total present value of cash inflows
Total present value of cash outflows
DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW RATE OF RETURN – the rate of return which equates the present
value (PV) of cash inflows to PV of cash outflows.
1. Determine the present value factor (PVF) for the discounted cash flow rate of return
(DCFRR) with the used of the following formula:
2. Using table 2. (present value annuity table), find on line n (economic life) the PVF
obtained in step 1. The corresponding rate is the DCFRR.
Advantages:
1. Emphasizes cash flows.
2. Recognizes the time value of money.
3. Computes true return of projects.
Disadvantages:
1. Assumes that the IRR is the re-investment rate.
2. When project includes negative earnings during their economic life, different rates of
return may result.

PAYBACK RECIPROCAL – a reasonable estimate of the discounted cash flows rate of return,
provided that the following conditions are met:
1. The economic life of the project is at least twice the payback period.
2. The net cash inflows are constant (uniform) throughout the life of the project.
EXERCISES
COST OF CAPITAL
1. Later Corporation has sold P100 million of P1, 000 par value, 10% coupon bonds. The
bonds were sold at a premium and the corporation received P1, 200 per bond. If the
corporate tax rate is 30%, what is the after tax cost of these bonds for the first year?
2. Born for you Corporation has a 6%, P1, 000 par value bond outstanding with 10 years
to maturity. The bond is currently selling for P1, 200. The corporation pays the corporate
tax rate of 30%. It wishes to know what the after-tax cost of a new bond issue is likely to
be. The yield to maturity (YTM) on the new issue will be the same as the yield on the old
issue because the risk and maturity date will be similar.
Required:
1. Compute the approximate yield to maturity on the old issue and use this as
the yield for the new issue. What is the after-tax cost of debt?
2. Compute the new after tax cost of debt if the bond is issued at P980 per
bond?
3. Compute the current yield if the bond is issued at P980 per bond.
4. Clash of Clans Corporation paid a dividend of P3.00 per share on its common stocks
last year. Over the next 12 months, the dividend is expected to grow at 6%, which is
the constant growth rate (g) for the firm. The common stock currently sells for P50 per
share. Compute the required rate of return on the common stock.
5. Use the basic equation for the CAPM to work on each of the following:
a. Find the required rate of return for an asset with a beta of 1.20 when the risk-free
rate and market return are 7% and 12%, respectively.
b. Find the required rate of return for an asset with a beta of 0.80 when the risk-free
rate of return is 6%, and the market risk premium is 4%.
c. Find the beta for an asset with a required return of 7.4% when the risk-free rate and
market return are 6% and 8%, respectively.

6. Mayumi’s new financing will be in proportion to the market value of its current
financing shown below:
Carrying Amount
Long-term debt P7, 000, 000
Preferred stock (100, 000 shares) 1, 000, 000
Common stock (200, 000 shares) 7, 000, 000
The firm’s bonds are currently selling at 80% of par, generating a current market yield
of 9%, and the corporation has a 40% tax rate. The preferred stock is selling at its par
value and pays a 6% dividend. The common stock has a current market value of P40
and is expected to pay a P1.20 per share this year. Dividend growth is expected to be
10% per year, and floatation costs are negligible.
1. The A-Team Company is planning to purchase a new equipment costing P500, 000.
Freight and installation costs is P10, 000. The new equipment will be purchased to
replace an old unit that was acquired several years ago at a cost of P200, 000, for
which an accumulated depreciation of P120, 000has been recorded.
The old unit will be sold for P60, 000. Other assets that are to be retired as a result of the
acquisition of the new machine can be salvaged and sold for P80, 0000. The gain on
the retirement of these other assets is P15, 0000, which will increase income taxes by
P4, 500.
If the new equipment is not purchased, extensive repairs on the old equipment will
have to be made at an estimated cost of P30, 000. This repairs expense can be
avoided by purchasing the equipment.
Additional gross working capital of P20, 000 will be needed o support operations
planned with the new equipment.
2. The management of a review school plans to install popcorn vending machine in its
premises. Annual sales of popcorn are estimated at 20, 000 units at a price of P20 per
unit. Variable costs is estimated at P12 per unit, while incremental fixed costs,
excluding depreciation, at P80, 0000 per year.
The school will acquire four vending machines at P25, 000 each, including installation
costs of P2, 000 per machine. The machines are expected to have a service life of 5
years, with no salvage value.
Depreciation will be computed on a straight line basis. The company’s income tax
rate is 30%
Required:
1. Determine the increase in annual net income if the popcorn vending machines
were installed.
2. Determine the annual net cash inflows that will be generated by the project.

EVALUATION TECHNIQUES
1. AB-R KING Company is considering the purchase of new production technology that
would require an initial investment of P500, 000 and have an expected life of 5 years.
At the end of its life, the equipment would have no salvage value. By installing the new
equipment, the firm’s annual labor and quality costs would decline by P200, 000. The
tax rate is 30%.
Required:
a. Compute the payback period for this investment.
b. Assume instead that the annual net cash inflows would vary according to the
following schedule:
2. Gemini Man Services creates and maintains shipping channels a various ports around
the world. The company is considering the purchase of a P140 million ocean-going
dredge that has a 5 year life and no salvage value. The company depreciates assets
on a straight line basis. The expected annual cash flow on a before tax basis for this
equipment is P50 million. Gemini requires that an investment be recouped in less than
3 years and have an accounting rate of return of at least 15 percent. The tax rate is
30%.
Required: Compute the payback period and accounting rate of return for this
equipment.
3. Colossus Corporation purchased a new machine on January 1 of this year for P90, 000,
with an estimated useful life of 5 years and a salvage value of P10, 000. The machine
will be depreciated using the straight line method. The machine is expected to
produce cash flow from operations, net of income taxes, of P36, 000 a year in each of
the next five years. The new machine’s salvage value is P20, 000 in years 1 and 2, and
P15, 000 in years 3 and 4.
4. Managers of JMA Electric are considering whether to increase capacity for one of
their products. Expanding capacity by 100, 000 units will require equipment costing P6,
000, 000 and having a five-year economic life with no salvage value. The new
machinery will increase annual cash fixed costs by P2.8 million. If they do increase
capacity, they expect annual sales to increase by 100, 000 units. The unit sells for P80.
Unit variable costs are P30. The company has a 10% cost of capital and an income tax
rate of 30%.
Required: Compute the net present value (NPV) of the investment.
