Valuing an Office Building

Step 1: Forecast cash flows Cost of building = C0 = 400

Sale price in Year 1 = C1 = 420

Step 2: Estimate opportunity cost of capital If equally risky investments in the capital market offer a return of 5%, then Cost of capital = r = 5%

Rate of Return Rule

Accept investments that offer rates of return in excess of their opportunity cost of capital
Example

In the project listed below, the foregone investment opportunity is 12%. Should we do the project?
profit 420,000 370,000 Return .135 or 13.5% investment 370,000

2- 16

Net Present Value Rule

Accept investments that have positive net present value
Example Suppose we can invest Rs.50 today and receive Rs.60 in one year. Should we accept the project given a 10% expected return?

60 NPV=-50+ Rs.4.55 1.10

Opportunity Cost of Capital

Example You may invest Rs.100,000 today. Depending on the state of the economy, you may get one of three possible cash payoffs:

Economy Payoff

Slump

Normal

Boom

Rs.80,000 110,000 140,000

80, 000 110, 000 140, 000 Expected payoff C1 Rs.110, 000 3

2- 18

Opportunity Cost of Capital

Example - continued The stock is trading for Rs.95.65. Next years price, given a normal economy, is forecast at Rs.110

expected profit 110 95.65 Expected return .15 or 15% investment 95.65

The stocks expected payoff leads to an expected return.

Opportunity Cost of Capital

Example - continued Discounting the expected payoff at the expected return leads to the PV of the project

110,000 PV Rs.95, 650 1.15

2- 20

Opportunity Cost of Capital

Example - continued Notice that you come to the same conclusion if you compare the expected project return with the cost of capital.

expected profit 110,000 100,000 Expected return .10 or 10% investment 100,000

Investment vs. Consumption

The grasshopper (G) wants to consume now. The ant (A) wants to wait. But each is happy to invest. Each invests Rs.185,000 and returns Rs.210,000 at the end of the year. G wants to consume now so G borrows Rs.200,000 and repays Rs.210,000 at the end of the year. The existence of capital markets allows G to consume now and still invest with A in the project.

Corporate Governance Problem in India

Prof. J R Varma of IIM Ahmedabad has observed that the corporate governance problem in India is completely different from that of the AngloAmerican system. In India, there is a conflict of interest between the promoter shareholders (who mostly control the management) and the public shareholders. So it would be foolish to expect the Board in India to discipline the shareholders from whom it derives all its powers
