Where Do We Stand?
Earlier: size/timing of cash flows.
Now, appropriate discount rate when cash
flows are risky.

A firm with excess cash can either pay a
dividend or make a capital investment

Value
Because stockholders can reinvest the dividend in risky financial assets, the
expected return on a capital-budgeting project should be at least as great as the
expected return on a financial asset of comparable risk. 3
The Cost of Equity Capital
Remember, risk/return tradeoff
Need a measure of opportunity cost
Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)

An all-equity firm should accept projects whose IRRs exceed the cost of
equity capital and reject projects whose IRRs fall short of the cost of capital.
10
Risk-free Rate
Treasury securities are close proxies
CAPM is a period model.
But, projects are long-lived
So, average period (short-term) rates need to be
used.

Market Risk Premium
Method 1: Use historical data.
Method 2: Use the Dividend Discount Model.
Market data and analyst forecasts can be used to
implement the DDM approach on a market-wide
basis.

• Problems Var(rM ) σM
1. Betas may vary over time.
2. The sample size may be inadequate.
3. Betas are influenced by changing financial leverage and business risk.
• Solutions
– Problems 1 and 2 can be moderated by more sophisticated statistical
techniques.
– Problem 3 can be lessened by adjusting for changes in business and
financial risk.
– Look at average beta estimates of comparable firms in the industry.
15
Stability of Beta
16
Using an Industry Beta
Some argue that a better estimate of a firm’s beta
is to use the beta for the whole industry.
If you believe that the operations of the firm are
similar to the operations of the rest of the
industry, you could use the industry beta.
If you believe that the operations of the firm are
fundamentally different from the operations of the
rest of the industry, you should use the firm’s beta.
17
Determinants of Beta
Business Risk
Cyclicality of Revenues
Operating Leverage
Financial Risk
Financial Leverage
18
Cyclicality of Revenues
Highly cyclical stocks have higher betas.
Ex: Retailers, high tech, and automotive firms fluctuate
with the business cycle
Ex: Utilities, railroads, food companies are less
dependent upon the business cycle.
Note that cyclicality is not the same as variability—stocks
with high standard deviations need not have high betas.
Ex: Movie studios have revenues that are variable (eg,
“hits” or “flops”) but their revenues may not be
especially dependent upon the business cycle.
Total risk is not systematic risk!
19
Operating Leverage
20
Financial Leverage and Beta
Operating leverage refers to the sensitivity to the
firm’s fixed costs of production.
Financial leverage is the sensitivity to a firm’s fixed
costs of financing.
21
Financial Leverage and Beta
The relationship between the betas of the firm’s
debt, equity, and assets is given by:
1
bAsset = 0.90 = × bEquity bEquity = 2 × 0.90 = 1.80

A firm that uses one discount rate for all projects may over time
increase the risk of the firm while decreasing its value. 25
Capital Budgeting & Project Risk
Suppose GE has a cost of capital, based on CAPM, of about
10%. The risk-free rate is 2%, the market risk premium is 8%,
and the firm’s beta is 1.0.
10% = 2% + 1.0× 8%
Assume (simplified a lot!) that this is a breakdown of the
company’s divisions:
1/3 Aviation b = 1.9
1/3 Healthcare b = 0.9
1/3 Power b = 0.2
average b of assets = 1.0

capital should be used?

Rio, which makes gourmet picnic baskets. Their

to grow at a constant rate of 5%. Their cost of

Now, assume two stage model: FCFs will grow at
projected growth in cash flows for 5 years and
then become constant at the projected rate of
growth in sales (Value Line).
BTW, Coca Cola was trading at $47.35 at the end of 2018 and
$50-52 at time data pulled from Bloomberg. What does this
suggest about our analysis?
54
WACC: Reminders
Remember:
If you discount at WACC, cash flows have to be
projected just as you would for a capital
investment project.
Do not deduct interest.
The value of interest tax shields is picked up in the
WACC formula.
Subtract value of debt/preferred from total value to
get value of equity.
