Cash Flows
Chapter 8 introduced valuation techniques based on discounted cash flows.
This chapter develops criteria for properly identifying and calculating cash flows.

Identifying Cash Flows:Cash Flow vs. Accounting Income
Discount actual cash flows, not necessarily net income.
Using accounting income, rather than cash flow, could lead to erroneous decisions.

NPV: Accounting Income - Example
A project costs $2,000 and is expected to last 2 years, producing cash income of $1,500 and $500 respectively. The cost of the project can be depreciated at $1,000 per year. Given a 10% required return, compare the NPV using cash flows to the NPV using accounting income.

Which is correct?
A project costs $2,000 and is expected to last 2 years, producing cash income of $1,500 and $500 respectively. The cost of the project can be depreciated at $1,000 per year. Given a 10% required return, compare the NPV using cash flows to the NPV using accounting income.

Inflation and Discounting Cash Flows
Discounting Rule:Discounting Rule: Real cash flows must be discounted at a real discount rate, nominal cash flows at a nominal rate.
1 real interest rate = 1+nominal interest rate1+inflation rate
9-9-88
Inflation Example: Nominal Rates
Example
You own a lease that will earn you $8,000 next year, increasing at 3% a year for 3 additional years (4 years total). If discount rates are 10% what is the present value of the lease?

Include all Indirect Effects
Indirect Effect Rule:Indirect Effect Rule: You must include all indirect effects in your analysis.

Sunk CostsSunk Cost– A cost that cannot be recovered
Sunk Cost Rule: Sunk Cost Rule: Always ignore sunk costs.
9-9-1212
Opportunity Costs
Opportunity Cost – Benefit or cash flow foregone as a
result of an action.
Opportunity Cost Rule: Opportunity Cost Rule: Be sure to recognize the opportunity cost (that which is foregone).
9-9-1313
Investments in Working Capital
Working Capital Rule:Working Capital Rule: Investments in working capital, just like investments in
plant and equipment, result in cash outflows.
Common ways working capital is overlooked:1. Forgetting about working capital entirely. 2. Forgetting that working capital may change during the life of the project. 3. Forgetting that working capital is recovered at the end of the project.
9-9-1414
Additional Considerations
1) Remember Terminal Cash Flows
2) Beware of Allocated Overhead Costs
3) Separation of Investment & Financing Decisions
9-9-1515
Final Thought:Incremental Cash Flows
Ask the following question:
Would the cash flow still exist if the project does not exist?
If yes, do not include it in your analysis.If no, include it.
9-9-1616
Calculating Cash Flows
Cash flows are made up of three separate parts.
Total cash flow =
+ cash flows from capital investments
+ cash flows from changes in working capital + operating cash flows
9-9-1717
Calculating Cash Flows
Capital Investments
Changes in Working Capital
Operating Cash Flows Operating cash flow = Revenue – Costs – Taxes
9-9-1818
Cash Flow from Operations: Three Methods of Calculation
• Method 1: Dollars in Minus Dollars Out
• Method 2: Adjusted Accounting Profits
• Method 3: Tax Shields
Operating Cash Flow = Revenue - Cash Expenses - Taxes
Operating Cash Flow (OCF) = After-tax Profit + Depreciation
OCF = (Revenue Cash Expenses) (1 Tax Rate)+(Tax Rate Depreciation)
