Q. What is the accurate measure of capital budgeting tool that can be used to rank projects
effectively in the Investment detective case

My response: Equivalent Annual Benefit (EAB) can be used as an accurate measure of capital
budgeting tool to rank projects effectively .

Faculty response: Sir mentioned that EAB and EAA are very similar. Both EAA and EAB rank the
projects in similar manner because in EAA, NPV is divided with period while in EAB, NPV is divided
with annuity factor.

Class Summary:
 A bond's interest rate risk is gauged by its duration.
 The Macaulay duration gauges how long it takes a bond to recoup its cost. It is calculated by
weighting each cash flow by its present value and dividing by the total price.
 High Mountain Technologies case:
NOPAT = Revenue-Expense-Tax + Depreciation/Ammortization - Capex - change in net
working capital Increment needed when: Higher capacity, Inflation or structural issues +
working capital claim back/Asset = Free cash flow to firm (FCFF)
 Sunk cost should not be adjusted in a new project unless it is affecting the existing cash flow
