Chapter 14 Capital Budgeting Decisions Solutions to Questions 14-1 Capital budgeting screening decisions concern whether a proposed investment project passes a preset hurdle, such as a 15% rate of return Capital budgeting preference decisions are concerned with choosing from among two or more alternative investment projects, each of which has passed the hurdle 14-2 The “time value of money” refers to the fact that a dollar received today is more valuable than a dollar received in the future simply because a dollar received today can be invested to yield more than a dollar in the future 14-3 Discounting is the process of computing the present value of a future cash flow Discounting gives recognition to the time value of money and makes it possible to meaningfully add together cash flows that occur at different times 14-4 Accounting net income is based on accruals rather than on cash flows Both the net present value and internal rate of return methods focus on cash flows 14-5 Discounted cash flow methods are superior to other methods of making capital budgeting decisions because they recognize the time value of money and take into account all future cash flows 14-6 Net present value is the present value of cash inflows less the present value of the cash outflows The net present value can be negative if the present value of the outflows is greater than the present value of the inflows 14-7 One simplifying assumption is that all cash flows occur at the end of a period Another is that all cash flows generated by an investment project are immediately reinvested at a rate of return equal to the discount rate 14-8 No The cost of capital is not simply the interest paid on long-term debt The cost of capital is a weighted average of the individual costs of all sources of financing, both debt and equity 14-9 The internal rate of return is the rate of return on an investment project over its life It is computed by finding the discount rate that results in a zero net present value for the project 14-10 The cost of capital is a hurdle that must be cleared before an investment project will be accepted In the case of the net present value method, the cost of capital is used as the discount rate If the net present value of the project is positive, then the project is acceptable because its rate of return is greater than the cost of capital In the case of the internal rate of return method, the cost of capital is compared to a project’s internal rate of return If the project’s internal rate of return is greater than the cost of capital, then the project is acceptable 14-11 No As the discount rate increases, the present value of a given future cash flow decreases For example, the present value factor for a discount rate of 12% for cash to be received ten years from now is 0.322, whereas the present value factor for a discount rate of 14% over the same period is 0.270 If the cash to be received © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2010 20 Managerial Accounting, 13th Edition in ten years is $10,000, the present value in the first case is $3,220, but only $2,700 in the second case Thus, as the discount rate increases, the present value of a given future cash flow decreases 14-12 The internal rate of return is more than 14% since the net present value is positive The internal rate of return would be 14% only if the net present value (evaluated using a 14% discount rate) is zero The internal rate of return would be less than 14% if the net present value (evaluated using a 14% discount rate) is negative 14-13 The project profitability index is computed by dividing the net present value of the cash flows from an investment project by the investment required The index measures the profit (in terms of net present value) provided by each dollar of investment in a project The higher the project profitability index, the more desirable is the investment project 14-14 The payback period is the length of time for an investment to fully recover its initial cost out of the cash receipts that it generates The payback method is used as a screening tool for investment proposals The payback method is useful when a company has cash flow problems The payback method is also used in industries where obsolescence is very rapid 14-15 Neither the payback method nor the simple rate of return method considers the time value of money Under both methods, a dollar received in the future is weighed the same as a dollar received today Furthermore, the payback method ignores all cash flows that occur after the initial investment has been recovered © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2010 21 Managerial Accounting, 13th Edition Exercise 14-1 (10 minutes) Item Year(s) Annual cost savings 1-8 Initial investment Net

cash inflow = $18,600 = 3.720 $5,000 Looking in Exhibit 14B-2, and scanning along the six-period line, we can see that a factor of 3.720 falls closest to the 16% rate of return The cash flows will not be even over the six-year life of the machine because of the extra $9,125 inflow in the sixth year Therefore, the above approach cannot be used to compute the internal rate of return in this situation

the first option is $150,000, since the entire amount would be received immediately The present value of the second option is: Annual annuity: $14,000 × 7.469 (Exhibit 14B-2) $104,566 Lump-sum payment: $60,000 × 0.104 (Exhibit 14B-1) 6,240 Total present value $110,806 Thus, Julie should accept the first option, which has a much higher present value On the surface, the second option appears to be a better choice because it promises a total cash inflow of $340,000 over the 20year period ($14,000 × 20 = $280,000; $280,000 + $60,000 = $340,000), whereas the first option promises a cash
