Chapter Outline

• Incremental Analysis
• Graphical Technique in solving problems
with mutually exclusive alternatives
• Using Spreadsheets in Incremental
Analysis

Copyright Oxford University Press 2014


Learning Objectives

• Define incremental analysis


• Apply Graphical Technique in solving
problems with mutually exclusive
alternatives
• Use Spreadsheets in Incremental Analysis

Copyright Oxford University Press 2014


Mutually Exclusive Alternatives

• Only one alternative may be implemented


• All alternatives serve the same purpose
• Objective of incremental analysis is to
select the best of these mutually exclusive
alternatives

Copyright Oxford University Press 2014


Incremental Analysis

• Could be applied to rate of return (IRR), present worth (PW),


equivalent uniform annual cost (EUAC), or equivalent
uniform annual worth (EUAW) approaches.
• [Higher-cost Alternative] = [Lower-cost Alternative] +
[Increment between them]
• The “defender” is the best alternative identified so far in the
process, and “challenger” is the next higher-cost alternative
to be evaluated.
• For a set of N mutually exclusive alternatives, (𝑁 − 1)
“challenger/defender” comparisons must be made from
[𝑁(𝑁 − 1)/2] possibilities.

Example 8-7 Incremental Analysis
using Pair-wise Comparisons
A B C D E
Initial Cost $4000 $2000 $6000 $1000 $9000
Uniform Annual Benefit 639 410 761 117 785

1. Rearrange the alternatives in order of increasing cost


D B A C E
Initial Cost $1000 $2000 $4000 $6000 $9000
Uniform Annual Benefit 117 410 639 761 785

2. Calculate IRR of the least expensive alternative to see if it


is better than “Do Nothing” at MARR of 10%
PWD = 0 = -$1000 + $117 (P/A, IRRD, 20)
IRRD = 9.94% < 10%
“Do Nothing” is preferred, and is still the “Defender.”

Example 8-7 Incremental Analysis
using Pair-wise Comparisons
3. Calculate IRR of the next alternative, B, to see if it is better
than “Do Nothing” at MARR of 10%
PWB = 0 = -$2000 + $410 (P/A, IRRB, 20)
IRRB = 19.96% > 10%
“Alternative B” is preferred, and is the new “Defender.”

4. Compare Defender B with the next alternative, A. This


comparison must be made incrementally.
PWA-B = 0 = -($4000-$2000)+(639-410)(P/A, IRRA-B,20)
IRRA-B = 9.63% < 10%
“Alternative B” is preferred, and is still the “Defender.”

Copyright Oxford University Press 2014


Example 8-7 Incremental Analysis
using Pair-wise Comparisons
5. Compare Defender B with the next alternative, C. This
comparison must be made incrementally.
PWC-B = 0 = -($6000-$2000)+(761-410)(P/A, IRRC-B,20)
IRRC-B = 6.08% < 10%
“Alternative B” is preferred, and is still the “Defender.”

6. Compare Defender B with the next alternative, E. This


comparison must be made incrementally.
PWE-B = 0 = -($9000-$2000)+(785-410)(P/A, IRRE-B,20)
IRRE-B = 0.67% < 10%
“Alternative B” is preferred, and is the final selection.

Elements in Comparing
Mutually Exclusive Alternatives
1. Identify all alternatives.
2. Construct an NPW or EUAW graph showing all
alternatives on the same axes.
3. Examine the line of maximum values and
determine which alternative create it, and over
what range.
4. Determine the changeover point.
5. Create a choice table to summarize the
information.

Choosing an Analysis Method

• All analysis methods provide consistent solutions.


• Rate of Return Analysis
• Easier to explain
• Most frequently used
• More difficult to calculate (without spreadsheet)
• Does not require a Minimum Attractive Rate of
Return in calculation
• Present Worth or Annual Cash Flow Analysis
• Require a known Minimum Attractive Rate of Return
in calculation
• Easier to calculate (without spreadsheet)

Example 7A-1
Cash Flow with Multiple Solutions
A piece of land may be purchased for $610,000 to be strip-
mined for the underlying coal. Annual net income will be
$200,000 for 10 years. At the end of 10 years, the surface of
the land will be restored as required by a federal law on strip
mining. The reclamation will cost $1.5 million more than the
land’s resale value after it is restored. Is this a desirable
project, if the minimum attractive rate of return is 10%?

Example 7A-1
Cash Flow with Multiple Solutions
• Example 7A–1 demonstrates that cash flows can have
multiple solutions to the IRR equation (PW=0).
• The example also demonstrates a common feature of
such a problem—the cash flows fit neither the pattern
of an investment nor the pattern of a loan.
• Example 7A–1 has two sign changes in its series of
cash flows. Two or more sign changes in the series of
cash flows are the distinguishing feature of instances
where multiple roots can, but may not, arise when
solving for the rate of return for a set of cash flows.

Copyright Oxford University Press 2014


Multiple IRR
Occurs when a cash flow produces more than one point at
which NPW = 0. This happens when there is more than
one sign change in the cash flow series
Example 7A-1

What to do if cash flow has two or
more sign changes?
• Traditional approach tends to focus attention on
hypothetical possibilities.
• A simpler approach is to graph present worth values over
an appropriate range of negative and positive interest rates.
• In general, the range (−100%, 100%] includes the interest
rates and present worth values that are useful for decision
making.
• When multiple roots occur, there is usually a negative root
that can be ignored and a positive root that can be used.
• If there is only one root and it is negative, then it is a valid
IRR.

Copyright Oxford University Press 2011


Projects with
Multiple Sign Changes
• The most common case of two or more sign changes
in cash flows is projects with a salvage cost which
typically have two sign changes.
• This salvage cost can be large for environmental
restoration at termination.

• In this case, there is one positive root of 10.45%. The value can be
used as an IRR.
• There is also a negative root of −38.29%. This root is not useful.

Example 7A-3
Cash Flow with Multiple Solutions
Adding an oil well to an existing field costs $4M. It will increase
recovered oil by $3.5M, and it shifts $4.5M worth of production
from Years 5, 6, and 7 to earlier years. Thus, the cash flows
for Years 1 through 4 total $8M and Years 5 through 7 total
−$4.5M. If the well is justified, one reason is that the oil is
recovered sooner. How many roots for the PW equation exist?

Modified Internal Rate of Return
(MIRR)
• The MIRR is a measure of the attractiveness of the
cash flows, but it is also a function of the two external
rates of return.
– External rates for investing, 𝑒𝑖𝑛𝑣
– External rate for financing, 𝑒fi𝑛
• The rate for investing is generally higher than the rate
for financing.

Copyright Oxford University Press 2014


Modified Internal Rate of Return
(MIRR)
1. Combine cash flows in each period (𝑡) into a single net
receipt, 𝑅𝑡, or net expense, 𝐸𝑡.
2. Find the present worth of the expenses with the
financing rate.
3. Find the future worth of the receipts with the investing
rate.
4. Find the MIRR which makes the present worth and
future worth equivalent.

Payback Period

• It is the period of time required for the project’s


profit or other benefits to equal the project’s
cost
• It is an approximate economic analysis method
• The effect of timing is ignored
• All economic consequences after payback are
ignored
• May not consistent with equivalent worth and
rate of return methods

What is the payback period for the $500,000 SMP


investment, given an annual savings of $92,500?

PBP = $500,000/$92,500
= 5.4054 years
=NPER(0%,92500,-500000)
= 5.4054
Payback Period(3)
Four points to be understood about payback period
calculations :
1. This is an approximate, rather than an exact,
economic analysis calculation
2. All cost and all profits, or savings of the
investment, prior to payback are included
without considering differences in their timing.
3. All the economic consequences beyond the
payback are completely ignored.
4. Being an approximate calculation, payback
period may or may not select the correct
alternative. That is, the payback period
calculation may select a different alternative
from that found by exact economic analysis
techniques.

Sensitivity and Breakeven Analysis

• Sensitivity Analysis:
– Projections of expenditures and returns ultimately affect
economic decisions
– To what extend do variations in the data affect the
decision?
• Breakeven Analysis
– It is a form of sensitivity analysis
– In what conditions, two alternatives are viewed as
“indifferent”?
– One application is “staged construction”

• For tax purposes:

Depreciation is the systematic


allocation of the cost of an asset
spread over its depreciable life.

Basic Aspects of Depreciation

DEFINITION: A DECREASE IN VALUE


In Economic Context:
• Decline in market value of an asset due to
deterioration or obsolescence
• Decline in value of an asset to its owner
In Accounting Context:
• Systematic allocation of an asset’s cost over its
useful or depreciable life. Depreciable life is
related to
– Deterioration
– Obsolescence
Copyright Oxford University Press 2014
Depreciation and Expenses

Expenses:
• Part of regular business operations
• “Consumed” over short period of time
• Sometimes recurring
• Do not lose value gradually over time
• Subtracted from business revenues as they
occur
• Reduce income taxes as they can be written off
when they occur
• Examples: labor, utilities, materials, insurance,…

Copyright Oxford University Press 2014


Depreciation and Expenses

Depreciation:
• Business costs due to capital assets are not fully
written off when they occur
• Capital assets lose value gradually over time
• Capital cost must be written off or depreciated
over its depreciable life or recovery period
• Reduce the taxable income, and thus reduce
income taxes as they were written off
• It is a non-cash cost
• Examples: building, plants, machines,…

Copyright Oxford University Press 2014


Basic Requirements for
Depreciation
A Property is Depreciable If:
• The property must be used for business purposes
to produce income.
• The property must have a useful life that can be
determined, and the useful life must be longer than
one year.
• The property must be an asset that decays, gets
used up, wears out, becomes obsolete, or loses
value to the owner from natural causes.
Only the owner of property may claim depreciation
expenses

Copyright Oxford University Press 2014


Types of Property

Tangible property: can be seen, touched, and felt.


• Real property: land, buildings, and things growing
on, built upon, constructed on, or attached to the land
• Personal property: equipment, furnishings, vehicles,
office machinery, and anything that is tangible
excluding real property
Intangible property: has value but cannot be
directly seen or touched, examples include
patents, copyrights, and trademarks, trade
names, and franchises.

Copyright Oxford University Press 2014


Property and Depreciation

• Almost all tangible property can be depreciated


except land, factory inventory, containers
considered as inventory, and leased property.
• Tangible property used in both business and
personal activities can be depreciated, but only in
proportion to the use for business purposes.
• Intangible property can generally be depreciated.
In general buildings and
equipment are depreciable;
land is not.

Time-based Depreciation Methods

Pre-1981 classic methods:


• Straight-line (SL)
• Sum-of-the-years’-digits (SOYD)
• Declining balance (DB)
• required estimates of useful life and salvage value
1981-1986 method:
• Accelerated Cost Recovery System (ACRS)
• Property class lives were created
• Salvage value was ignored
• Shorter recovery periods were used
1986-present:
• Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS)
• Number of property classes was expanded
• Half-year convention for the first and final years

Accelerated Depreciation
• The rest of the methods discussed are called
“Accelerated Depreciation” methods.
• These methods deduct larger depreciation
expenses in the early years and less at the end.
• The large early deductions result in tax savings
that are realized sooner.
• A basic principle of the time value of money:
“Money now is better than money later”

DDB With Conversion to SL
at the Most Desirable Time
• Since DDB does not use a value for Salvage, we
have three possible scenarios at time of disposal:
– Over depreciation: Book Value < Salvage Value. Tax
savings realized early. Small gain upon sale of the
asset and taxes on the gain.
– Exact depreciation: Book value = Salvage value.
There are no tax consequences upon sale of the asset.
– Under depreciation: Book Value > Salvage Value.
Did not deduct as much as you could have and lost tax
savings.
• To allow companies the advantage of all the depreciation
charges they are entitled to, they can switch from DDB to
straight line at the most favorable time.
23
DDB Is the Preferred Approach
• Using the DDB approach provides the
greatest PW (tax savings).
• The DDB approach does not fully
depreciate an item unless a switch to
straight line is accomplished in the latter
years.
• The question is which is the most
advantageous year to switch to SL.

24
Example of DDB with Conversion to
SL
• Same example, except that the Salvage Value is $ 30
instead of $ 70
• Year Depreciation Book value at the
end of year
1 $ 360 $ 540
2 $ 216 $ 324
3 $ 129,6 $ 194,4
4 $ 77,76 $ 116,64
5 $ 46,656 $ 69,984

Declining Balance depreciation with conversion

• If we convert to the straight line at year :

540 − 30
2 = $127,5 < $216 Do not convert
4

• Conclusion :
The depreciation charge with declining

2 $ 216
3 $ 129,6
4 $ 82,2
5 $ 82,2
Advantages of Modified Accelerated
Cost Recovery System
• “Property class lives” are less than the “actual
useful lives”
• Definition of MACRS classes of depreciable property is
based on the guideline of the asset depreciable range
(ADR)
• With ADR, each class of property has a lower limit, a
midpoint, and a upper limit of useful life
• The ADR midpoint lives were somewhat shorter than the
actual average useful lives
• MACRS property class lives are shorter than the ADR
midpoint lives
• Salvage value was assumed to be 0
• Tables of annual percentages simplify computations

Copyright Oxford University Press 2014


Modified Accelerated Cost
Recovery System (MACRS)
• General Depreciation System (GDS)
• Based on declining balance with switch to straight-line
depreciation
• Alternative Depreciation System (ADS)
• ADS provides a longer recovery period and uses straight-
line depreciation
• ADS must be used for
• Tangible property used primarily outside the United States
• Property that is tax exempt or financed by tax-exempt bonds
• Farming property placed in service when uniform capitalization
rules are not applied
• ADS may be elected for an asset, it is not possible to
switch back to the GDS.
Copyright Oxford University Press 2014
Procedures in Applying
MACRS-GDS Depreciation
1. Determine if a property is eligible for depreciation
2. Determine the asset’s cost basis (𝐵)
• Cost to obtain and place the asset in service fit for use
• For real property, the basis may include certain fees and
charges, such as legal and recording fees, abstract fees,
survey charges, transfer taxes, title insurance, …
3. Determine the property class and recovery period
• Use property class given in problem
• Match asset name with MACRS-GDS property classes
definition (Table 11-2)
• Use IRS publication, such as Table 11-1
• Use ADR class life to determine property class
Copyright Oxford University Press 2014

Depreciation and Asset Disposal

When a depreciable asset is disposed of, and the market


value is different than the book value, the difference must
be treated as:
• Depreciation recapture (ordinary gains): Depreciation
recapture occurs when an asset is sold for more than its
current book value, but less than the original cost basis.
• Losses: A loss occurs when an asset is sold for less than
its current book value.
• Capital gains: Capital gain occur when an asset is sold for
more than its original cost basis. Capital gains may be
taxed at lower rate than ordinary gains.

Depletion
• Depletion is the exhaustion of natural resources as a result
of their removal.
• Except for standing timber and most oil and gas wells,
depletion allowance is the larger of the two methods.
• Cost Depletion:
• Similar to the unit-of-production depreciation method
• Permissible for standing timber and most oil and gas wells
• Cost of land must be excluded from the property cost
• Percentage Depletion:
• Depletion allowance is a certain percentage of the property’s
gross income during the year
• Cannot exceed 50% of the property’s taxable income
computed without the depletion deduction

Cost Depletion (1)
• The elements of the Depletion calculation:
– Cost of the property
– Estimation of the number of recoverable units (tons of
ore, cubic meters of gravel, barrels of oil, and so forth
– Salvage value of the property
Cost Depletion (2)
• Example :
A small lumber company bought a tract of
timber for $ 35.000 of which $5.000 was the
value of the land and $ 30.000 was the value
of the estimated 1,5 million board-feet of
standing timber. The first year, the company
cut 100.000 boar-feet of standing timber on
the tract. What was the depletion allowance
for the year?
Cost Depletion (3)

• Depletion allowance per 1000 board-feet


of timber
$35000 − $5000
= = $20 per 1000board − feet
1500000board − feet

• The depletion allowance for the year


would be
= 100000 board-ft x $20 per 1000 board-
ft = $2000
Example 11-12 Cost Depletion

Cost of property (timber) = $35,000


Cost of land = $5000 (included in the cost of property)
Estimated timber production = 1.5 million board-feet
First year’s production = 100,000 board-feet

100,000
𝑑1 = $35,000 − 5,000 = $2,000
1,500,000

Percentage Depletion (1)

• Percentage depletion is an annual allowance of a percentage of


the gross income from the property.
• Allowable percentage depletion on a property in any year
cannot exceed 50% of the property taxable income computed
without the depletion deduction
• Percentage depletion allowance for selected items:
Percentage Depletion (2)

• Example:
A coal mine has a gross income of $250.000 for the
year. Mining expenses equal $ 210.000. Compute the
allowable percentage depletion deduction !
• Compute percentage depletion :
Gross income from mine
$250000
Percentage depletion x 10%
Computed percentage depletion $ 25000
Percentage Depletion (3)
• Taxable income limitation:
Gross income from mine $250000
less: expenses other than depletion - 210000
Taxable income from mine 40000
Deduction limitation x 50%
Taxable income limitation $ 20000

Since the taxable income limitation ($20.000) is less


than the computed percentage depletion ($ 25.000),
the allowable percentage depletion deduction is $
20.000
Example 11-13
Percentage Depletion
Gross income = $250,000
Mining expenses = $210,000

Percentage depletion = (10%)($250,000) = $25,000


Taxable Income = $250,000 - $210,000 = $40,000
Taxable Income Limitation = $40,000 (50%) = $20,000
