Review of Domestic Capital Budgeting
1.
Identify the SIZE and TIMING of all relevant cash flows
on a time line.
2. Identify the RISKINESS of the cash flows to determine
the appropriate discount rate.
3. Find NPV by discounting the cash flows at the appropriate
discount rate.
4. Compare the value of competing cash flow streams at the
same point in time.

International Capital Budgeting
First possible recipe for international managers:
1. Estimate future cash flows in foreign currency
2. Convert to U.S. dollars
at the predicted exchange rate
3. Calculate NPV
using the U.S. cost of capital

Finding the Foreign Currency Cost of

Recall that if the Fisher Effect holds here and abroad…
(1 + ρ$) ×(1 + π$) = (1 + i$)
(1 + i$)
(1 + ρ$) =
(1 + π$)
(1 + i€) = (1 + ρ€) × (1 + π€)
and if the real interest rates are the same, then:
(1 + i€) =
(1 + i$)×(1 + π€)
(1 + π$)

l 
Change the foreign cash flows into dollars at the FX rates
expected to prevail. Find the $NPV using the dollar cost
of capital.
Find the foreign currency NPV using the foreign
currency cost of capital. Translate that into dollars at the
spot exchange rate.
You will get the same answer either way.
Which method you prefer is your choice.

Review of Domestic Capital
Budgeting
For our purposes it is necessary to expand the NPV
equation.
CFt = ( Rt − OCt − Dt − I t )(1 − τ ) + Dt + I t (1 − τ )
Rt is incremental revenue
It is incremental interest expense
OCt is incremental operating τ is the marginal tax rate
costs
Dt is incremental depreciation

CFt = ( Rt − OCt − Dt − I t )(1 − τ ) + Dt + I t (1 − τ )
= NI t + Dt + I t (1 − τ )

The APV model is a value additivity approach to
capital budgeting. Each cash flow that is a source
of value to the firm is considered individually.
Note that with the APV model, each cash flow is
discounted at a rate that is appropriate given the
riskiness of the cash flow.

Domestic APV Example
Consider a project of the Pearson Company, the timing and size of the
incremental after-tax cash flows for an all-equity firm are:
-$1,000
0
$125
$250
$375
$500
1
2

4
The unlevered cost of equity is r0 = 10%:
NPV10% = −$1,000 +
$125
$250
$375
$500
+
+
+
(1.10) (1.10) 2 (1.10) 3 (1.10) 4
NPV10% = −$56.50
The project would be rejected by an all-equity firm: NPV < 0.

Domestic APV Example (continued)
Now, imagine that the firm finances the project with $600
of debt at r = 8%.
l  Pearson’s tax rate is 40%, so they have an interest tax
shield worth τ×I = 0.40×$600×0.08 = $19.20 each year.
•  The net present value of the project under leverage is:
APV = NPV + NPVF
Note that with the
4
APV model, each cash
$19.20
APV = −$56.50 + ∑
flow is discounted at a
t
rate that is appropriate
t =1 (1.08)
l 
APV = −$56.50 + 63.59 = $7.09
to the riskiness of the
cash flow.
•  So, Pearson should accept the project with debt.

18-24
Domestic APV Example (continued)
l 
Note that there are two ways to calculate the NPV of the
loan. Previously, we calculated the PV of the interest tax
shields. Now, let’s calculate the actual NPV of the loan:
4
NPVloan = $600 − ∑
t =1
$600 × .08 × (1 − .4) $600
−
(1.08) t
(1.08) 4
NPVloan = $63.59
APV = NPV + NPVloan
APV = −$56.50 + 63.59 = $7.09
Which is the same answer as before.

to foreign direct investment.

Risk Adjustment in the Capital
Budgeting Process
l 
l 
Clearly risk and return are correlated.
Political risk may exist along side of business risk,
necessitating an adjustment in the discount rate.
18-30
Copyright © 2007 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
Sensitivity Analysis
In the APV model, each cash flow has a
probability distribution associated with it.
l  Hence, the realized value may be different from
what was expected.
l  In sensitivity analysis, different estimates are used
for expected inflation rates, cost and pricing
estimates, and other inputs for the APV to give the
manager a more complete picture of the planned
capital investment.
l

Real Options
l 
The application of options pricing theory to the
evaluation of investment options in real projects is
known as real options.
A timing option is an option on when to make the
investment.
n  A growth option is an option to increase the scale of the
investment.
n  A suspension option is an option to temporarily cease
production.
n  An abandonment option is an option to quit the
investment early.
