CORPORATE VALUATION
Separation of Financing from Investment
The Separation Theorem allows for the evaluation of an investment without regard to how
it is financed as long as the required rate of return reflects the financing via the use of the Average
Cost of Capital.
Assume the following:
Cost of Debt =
10%
Tax Rate =
40%
After-tax Cost of Debt = 6%
Cost of Equity =
14%
Percent Debt Financing = 50%
Percent Equity Financing = 50%
Average Cost of Capital = Cost of Debt * (Percent Debt Financing) +
Cost of Equity * (Percent Equity Financing)
= 10% * (1-.4) * (.5) + 14% * (.5)
= 6% * (.5) + 14% * (.5)
= 10%

NPV @ 10% = 0
A NPV of zero indicates that both lenders and stockholders are earning their respective
required rates of return as well as getting their investment back (with no surplus). Consider the
financing explicitly with the payment of interest and a repayment of principal as follows:

Since the result is the same whether utilizing Project Cash Flows and the average cost of
capital, or Equity Cash Flows and the cost of equity, the investment decision can be made at the
divisional level and the financing decision can be made at the corporate level.
Project Valuation
Capital budgeting, as in the previous example, usually assumes that a project “ends” after
a number of years. In general, however, investments are made with the expectation that, if
successful, the activities will continue indefinitely. The best way to evaluate any sort of investment
is to create two scenarios: a base-case which projects the cash flows if a company just continues
business as usual, and an expansion (or NewCo, etc.) scenario which reflects the anticipated
cash flows should a project be undertaken. The relevant cash flows are just the difference
between the two scenarios. Rather than shutting the project down at the end of the planning
horizon, however, the free cash flow can be capitalized using the WACC.
As an example, consider the following company which is considering opening an office in
another city to expand its territory. For simplicity, we’ll use the percentage-of-sales method for
forecasting the balance sheet.

Of course, the actual financing may vary either by borrowing more money to finance the asset
expansion or by paying down the debt due to a debt schedule for the loans. It really doesn’t
matter with respect to the valuation since we are assuming that either (1) the actual long-term
financing target is reflected in the WACC or (2) the average cost of capital is independent of
capital structure. In any event, the cash flows we will be analyzing will not include any financing
cash flows since the financing is reflected in the WACC.
Now consider the expansion case where we anticipate the following:


Sales will increase by $200,000 in Year 1 over current projections and then grow at 4%
annually.
Salaries will increase by $40,000 in Year 1 over current projections and then grow at 2%



per year.
Utilities will increase by $5,000 over current projections and grow by 2% per year.
$150,000 of additional Fixed Assets will be required
Additional L-T debt of $75,000 will be required to cover much of the asset expansion

The incremental cash flows can be calculated by simply subtracting the cash flows in the BaseCase from the cash flows in the Expansion Case. Note that the financing cash flows have been
ignored with the exception that a line has been included to add back the after-tax additional
interest expense that occurred in the Expansion case due to the additional loan of $75,000.

The Free Cash Flows (FCF) are readily available from these figures. It is customary to
accelerate the outflows, in this case the investment in Fixed Assets and Working Capital, to the
beginning of each year. Thus, we’ll have to add in an adjustment for the now-missing 3rd year.
We also need to calculate a Terminal (or Residual) Value to capture the cash flows beyond our
three-year planning horizon.

NPV @ 10% = $(1,574)
Since the NPV is negative, the expansion is not desirable. Of course, it is very close to be
acceptable. One could argue that there are strategic reasons for going ahead with the expansion.
That, however, assumes that there are benefits that have not been captured in the cash flow
projections.
