Capital Investments
Long Term in nature covering many
years
Large amounts of capital
Investments are not easily or quickly
disposed
Critical to long-term profitability
Affect human resources needs and
composition
Prior to sending out requests
1. Determination of dollars available for
capital investments
2.Determine the cost of capital (minimum
rate of return)

Also called Desired Rate of Return

Steps in choosing a proposal
Step 1: Identification of capital investment needs
Step 2: Formal requests for capital investments
Step 3: Preliminary screening (remove those that
are not appropriate for the project)
Step 4: Evaluate the proposal based on
Acceptance – rejection standards
previously determined
Step 5: Rank the proposals
Step 6: Choose the best proposal (s).
Capital Investment Analysis Methods
Net Present Value
Internal Rate of Return
Payback Period Method
Simple (Acctg) Rate of
Return
Terms
Cash InFlows
Increase in Net cash inflows
Cost Savings
Reduce Costs
Undiscounted Cash Inflows
Rate of Return X Cash Inflows
Discounted Cash Inflows
Adjusted for the loss of value over time
Present Value Multiplier X Cash Inflows
NET PRESENT VALUE
METHOD
Uses PRESENT VALUE Table
Columns: % Return
Rows: Number of Period
Multiplier or factor is where the
rate intersects the period.
Periods (Not just years) Can be Semi Annual,
Quarterly, Monthly
% - estimate return rate
Based on the number of periods
10% for yearly
5% for seimannual
2.5% for quarterly
Present Value of Cash InFlows ( How much is the
money received in following years worth today)
What Present Value Table
Present Value of $1
Received at the end of a period of time
Uneven cash inflows
Present Value of a Ordinary Annuity of $1
Received the same amount every period
Even Cash Inflows
PRACTICE READING TABLE
1. What multiplier do you use if you receive $100,000
at the end of 10 years assuming a return of 7%?
What is its present value?
.508
$100,000 * .508 = $50,800
2. What multiplier do you use if you receive $10,000
every year for 10 years assuming a return of 7%.
What is it’s present value?
7.024
$10,000* 7.024 = $70,240
Application
Exercise 14-1 Compare discounted cash flow
with undiscounted cash flow
Exercise 14-9 Evaluating projects based on PV
concept
Is 16% reasonable?
Project Profitability Index
Net Present Value of Project
Investment required
Helpful to decide what project to select.
The higher the better
Amount of cash inflow generated for
each dollar of investment
Internal Rate of Return
Investment Required
Annual Cash inflow
Rate that causes the PV of the project’s cash inflows to
equal the PV of the investment
How much interest you need to receive to pay it back
Do not know the rate of return %.
Divide Investment required by Annual Cash Inflows
Gives you the multiplier factor.
Go to the number of periods and find this multiplier
Go to the top of the column to get the % = IRR
Excercise 14-2
Only 1 and 2
Apply NPV and IRR
Exercise 14-11
Payback Method
Investment Required
Net Annual Cash Inflows
Time it takes for the investment to pay
for itself.
In years.
Same as IRR
Use formula only if even cash inflows
Payback Period con’t
Uneven cash inflows – Use following table
Year Investment Cash Inflows Unrecovered
1 4,000 1,000 3,000
2 -0- 3,000
3 2,000 1,000
4 2,000 1,000 2,000
5 500 1,500
6 3,000 0
7 2,000 0
Application
Exercise 14-5 EVEN OR UNEVEN?
Simple Rate of Return
Annual Incremental Net Income
Initial Investment
Not Cash Inflow
Includes depreciation
Annual Revenue-Annual expenses/Invest.
Easier than Acctg rate of return but not
accurate
No present value considered
Exercise 14-6
Both Payback period and SRR
Exercise 14-13
Ranking of investments
Problem 14-26 pg 672
Rank based on NPV (inferior to PPI)
1,2,4,3
Rank based on PPI (most dependable)
3,2,1,4
Rank based on IRR (payback)
4,3,2,1
