 The Capital Budgeting Decision
• Capital Budgeting is the process of identifying,
evaluating, and implementing a firm’s investment
opportunities.
• It seeks to identify investments that will enhance a
firm’s competitive advantage and increase
shareholder wealth.
• The typical capital budgeting decision involves a large
up-front investment followed by a series of smaller
cash inflows.
• Poor capital budgeting decisions can ultimately result
in company bankruptcy.

 Motives for Capital Expenditures

Motive Description

Expansion Capital expenditure to expand operations via

acquisition of fixed assets

Replacement When the growth reaches maturity , the firm

/ renewal need capital expenditure to increase efficiency by
replacing or renewing obsolete/ worn-out assets

Other Capital expenditures that do not result in the

acquisition of tangible fixed assets. Instead capital
expenditures for long term commitment in
expectation of future return. Examples: Research
and Development Project, new products

 Terminologies: Independent Mutually Exclusive and
Joint Projects

• Independent Projects, on the other hand, do not

compete with the firm’s resources. A company
can select one, or the other, or both—so long as
they meet minimum profitability thresholds.

• Mutually Exclusive Projects are investments that

compete in some way for a company’s resources
—a firm can select one or another but not both.
• Joint projects: Linked to each other and can not
be separated
02/22/2023 CF SMS 2023 8
 Terminologies: Unlimited Funds versus Capital
Rationing

• If the firm has unlimited funds for making

investments, then all independent projects that are
economically feasible can be accepted
• However, in most cases firms face restrictions on
capital budgeting spending since they only have a
given amount of funds to invest in potential
investment projects at any given time.
• Here we have capital rationing
• Soft Vs. Hard rationing
02/22/2023 CF SMS 2023 9
 Terminologies: Accept-Reject versus Ranking
Approaches
• The accept-reject approach involves the
evaluation of capital expenditure proposals to
determine whether they meet the firm’s
minimum acceptance criteria.
• The ranking approach involves the ranking of
capital expenditures on the basis of some
predetermined measure, such as the rate of
return.

 The Relevant Cash Flows
• Incremental cash flows:
Are cash flows specifically associated with the
investment, and their effect on the firms other
investments (both positive and negative) must
also be considered.
For example if you decide to open a new branch
of your restaurant in a different area, the impact
of customers who move from the present one to
the new one must be considered.

02/22/2023 CF SMS 2023 13

 Relevant Cash Flows: Sunk Costs Versus Opportunity Costs

• Note that cash outlays already made (sunk costs)

are irrelevant to the
decision process. They should not be included in a
project’s incremental cash flows
• However, opportunity costs, which are cash flows
that could be realized from the best alternative
use of the asset,
are relevant.
• They should be included as cash outflows when
you calculate a project’s incremental cash flows

 Expansion Versus Replacement Decisions

• Estimating incremental cash flows is relatively

straightforward in the case of expansion
projects, but not so in the case of
replacement projects.
• With replacement projects, incremental cash
flows must be computed by subtracting
existing project cash flows from those
expected from the new project.

 Relevant Cash Flows: Expansion Versus
Replacement Cash Flows
How to calculate the three relevant cash flow
in case of replacement?
• Initial investment= Initial investment needed to acquire
new asset – after tax cash inflow of liquidating old asset

• Operating cash inflows = operating cash inflows from new

asset- operating cash inflows of old asset

• Terminal cash flow= After tax cash flows form termination

new asset- after tax cash flow of termination of old asset

 Finding the Initial Investment
How to determine initial investment in case of replacement?
Installed cost of the new asset=
cost of new asset + installation costs

- after tax proceeds of selling old asset =

Proceeds of selling old asset +/- tax of sale of old asset
+/- change in net working capital

= Initial Investment

 Example
• A machine was purchased 2 years ago with an installed costs
of $100000. The accumulated depreciation after 2 years =
$52000, which means that the book value = 100000- 52000 =
48000
Case 1: The machine was sold for $110000.
 Here the company realized a gain of (110000 -48000) = $
62000
 The difference between the cost and the book value (100000-
48000) = $52000 is called the recaptured depreciation
 The difference between the sale price and the cost (110000-
100000) = $10000 is called a capital gain
 Therefore, the company must pay taxes on capital gains and
the recaptured depreciation at its marginal tax rate
02/22/2023 CF SMS 2023 20
 Case 2: Sale of the Asset for More Than Its Book Value but Less
than Its Purchase Price

• If the machine was sold for $70000.

• In this case the company realized a gain the

form of recaptured depreciation of (70000 –
48000) = $22000 and it has to be taxed

02/22/2023 CF SMS 2023 21

 Case 3
• If Hudson sells the old asset for its book value
of $48,000, there is no gain or loss and
therefore no tax implications from the sale.

02/22/2023 CF SMS 2023 22

 Case 4: Sale of the Asset for Less Than Its Book Value

• If the company sells the old asset for $30,000 which is less
than its book value of $48,000, it experiences a loss of
$18,000 ($48,000 - $30,000).
• If this is a depreciable asset used in the business, the loss may
be used to offset ordinary operating income.
• If it is not depreciable or not used in the business, the loss can
only be used to offset capital gains.
• If the tax rate is 20%, in either case the loss will save the firm
$3600 (0.20*18000) in taxes
• If current operating earnings or capital gains are not sufficient
to offset the loss, the firm may be able to apply these losses
to prior or future taxes.
02/22/2023 CF SMS 2023 23
 Change in Net Working Capital
• For example if you buy a new photocopier it will
require increase in some form of current assets
and current liabilities
• The difference between current assets and
current liabilities is net working capital (NWC)
• Normally current assets increase more than
current liabilities which means increased
investment in net working capital
• NWC is treated as an investment initially and
recovered at the end of the project
02/22/2023 CF SMS 2023 24
 Example: Initial Investment
• A large diversified manufacturer of aircraft components, is trying to
determine the initial investment required to replace an old machine
with a new, more sophisticated model. The machine’s purchase
price is $380,000 and an additional $20,000 will be necessary to
install it. It will be depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year
recovery period (20%,32%,19%,12%,12% and 5%). The present
machine was bought 3 years ago for $240000 and has been
depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year recovery period. The firm
has found a buyer willing to pay $280,000 for the present machine
and remove it at the buyer’s expense. The firm expects that a
$35,000 increase in current assets and an $18,000 increase in
current liabilities will accompany the replacement. Both ordinary
income and capital gains are taxed at 40%.

 Example: Operating Cash Inflows

• The estimates of the revenues and expenses

(excluding depreciation and interest), with and
without the new machine described in the preceding
example, are given below. Note that both the
expected usable life of the proposed machine and
the remaining usable life of the existing machine are
5 years. The amount to be depreciated with the
proposed machine is calculated by summing the
purchase price of $380,000 and the installation costs
of $20,000.
