10.1 Project Cash Flow: A First Look

Relevant cash flows for a project are those who increase the

overall value of the firm.

Relevant cash flows are calledincremental cash flows.

It may be cumbersome to calculate the future cash flows for the

firm as a whole.

Stand-alone principle: Once the project’s effects on the firm’s

actual cash flows have been determined, it may be simpler to

quantify the incremental cash flows and to consider the project as

a minifirm.

10.2 Incremental Cash Flows

• Sunk costsshould not be considered.

• Opportunity costshave to be considered.

• Side effectshave to be considered.

• Net working capitalchanges have to be considered.

• Financing costsare not considered.

• Inflationmust be considered.

• Government intervention, such as CCA, has to be

considered.

10.3 Pro Forma Financial Statements

Suppose we believe we can sell 500 cans of crocodile soup per

year at $4.20 per can. Each can costs $2.50 to produce.

Fixed costs are $200 per year and the tax rate is 40%.

The project has a three-year life.

Investments are:

• $900 in equipment, which will depreciate to zero in a

straight line over the project life ($300 per year).

• $200 in net working capital, which will be recovered at the

end of the project.

Total assets 1,100 800 500 200

6


As we have seen earlier,

CF(A) = OCF− ∆NWC − NCS,

where

CF(A) ≡ Cash flow from assets;

OCF ≡ Operating cash flow;

∆NWC ≡ Additions to net working capital;

NCS ≡ Net capital spending.

7


In the present example,

OCF = EBIT + Depreciation− Taxes

= 400 + 300− 160

= 540

in years 1, 2 and 3.

8


Additions to net working capital (∆NWC) and net capital

spending (NCS) are as follows:

Year

0 1 2 3

∆NWC 200 0 0 -200

NCS 900 0 0 0

9


Notes:

• Net working capital is recovered at the end of the project.

That is, the value of these assets is transferred to the parent

company or converted to cash.

• Fixed assets could have been sold at market value in year 3.

This is not the case here since we have assumed straight-line

depreciation to zero.

10


Cash flows (from assets) are then:

Year

0 1 2 3

OCF 0 540 540 540

∆NWC (200) 0 0 200

NCS (900) 0 0 0

Using a discount of 10%, the net present value of this project is

then

NPV = −1,100 +5401.1

+540

(1.1)2 +740

(1.1)3 = $393.

Net present value is positive but we may want to have a look at

the other measures.

12


Payback period= 2.02 years,

Discounted payback period= 2.29 years.

PI =5401.1 + 540

(1.1)2 + 740(1.1)3

1,100= 1.36

AAR = 240900/2+200/4 = 0.46

IRR = 28.26%.

13

10.4 More on Project Cash Flow

• A closer look at net working capital.

• Depreciation and Capital Cost Allowance

14

Depreciation and Capital Cost Allowance

Depreciation is a non-cash expense that reduces the pre-tax

income.

The depreciation rate that effectively affects the amount of taxes

paid by the firm is the CCA rate.

The CCA depreciation may differ from the accounting

depreciation.

Thus the CCA depreciation should be used in cash flow

calculations instead of the accounting depreciation.

15


Suppose Brutus, Inc., has a 5-year project where sales are

expected to be as follows:

Year Sales (in $)

1 480

2 660

3 810

4 750

5 720

16


The equipment purchased at the beginning of the project costs

$500, and the CCA rate associate with it is 20%. This gives

Year Beg. UCC CCA End. UCC

1 500 50 450

2 450 90 360

3 360 72 288

4 288 58 230

5 230 46 184

17


Suppose also that

• variable costs are 1/3 of sales;

• fixed costs are $20 per year;

• tax rate is 36%;

• net working capital is $60 at time 0 and 20% of sales

thereafter.

• salvage value of fixed assets is $180.

At a discount rate of 15%, the net present value of this project is

NPV = −560 +1751.15

= $521.

The IRR is 42% and the payback period is 2.37 years.

Are we missing something?

23


Regarding CCA, what happens when an asset is sold?

When the asset is sold for less than its UCC, the difference

depreciates forever (if the asset pool is not terminated).

When the asset is sold for more than its UCC, the difference is

subtracted from the value of the asset pool.

In the Brutus example, the assets are sold for less than the UCC,

and thus there will be further tax savings coming from the

project.

24


In the Brutus example, the equipment’s UCC after 5 years is

expected to be $184 but the market value is expected to be $180.

The difference, 184−180= 4, is then expected to depreciate

forever, thus inducing tax savings into perpetuity.

25


Let Tc denote the firm’s tax rate (36% in this case) and letd

denote the CCA rate (20% in this case). The tax savings arising

from year 6 on are then

Tc×d×4 in year 6,

Tc×d× (1−d)4 in year 7,

Tc×d× (1−d)24 in year 8,

Tc×d× (1−d)34 in year 9,...

26


As of year 5, the present value of this perpetuity is

PV5 =4dTc

1+ r+

(1−d)4dTc

(1+ r)2 +(1−d)24dTc

and thus the project’s NPV should also include

4dTc

(r +d)(1+ r)5 =4×0.36×0.20

(0.15+0.20)(1.15)5 = $0.41.

27


To take into account all the tax savings arising from the purchase

of assets for new projects, we will calculate OCF differently.

This method will be called thetax shield approach.

28

10.5 Alternative Definitions of Operating Cash Flow

Let

S ≡ Sales,

C ≡ Operating costs,

D ≡ Depreciation for tax purposes,

Tc ≡ Corporate tax rate.

Then

EBIT = S−C−D and Taxes= Tc(S−C−D).

29

10.5 Alternative Definitions of Operating Cash Flow

Therefore,

OCF = EBIT + D − Tc(S−C−D)

= S−C−D + D − Tc(S−C−D)

= (1−Tc)(S−C) + TcD.

This way of calculating operating cash flow is called thetax

shield approach.

30

10.6 The Tax Shield Approach

Each year, cash flow from assets is

CF = OCF− ∆NWC − NCS

= (1−Tc)(S−C) + TcD − ∆NWC − NCS

= (1−Tc)(S−C) − ∆NWC − NCS + TcD.

The problem can be simplified by treating depreciationseparately from OCF. That is, NPV can be calculated as

NPV = PV of (1−Tc)(S−C) − PV of ∆NWC − PV of NCS

+ PV of CCA tax shield.

31


What is PV of CCA tax shield (CCATS)?

Let

A ≡ value of assets initially purchased,

S ≡ salvage value of these assets at the end of the project,

Tc ≡ Corporate tax rate.

d ≡ CCA rate,

k ≡ discount rate,

n ≡ asset life.

32


PV of CCATS

As we have seen in Chapter 2, CCA depreciation is

0.5dA in year 1,

0.5d(1−d)A + 0.5dA in year 2,

0.5d(1−d)2A + 0.5d(1−d)A in year 3,...

33


PV of CCATS

The tax shield arising fromA is then

0.5TcdA in year 1,

0.5Tcd(1−d)A + 0.5TcdA in year 2,

0.5Tcd(1−d)2A + 0.5Tcd(1−d)A in year 3,...

34


PV of CCATS

If these assets are never sold, the present value of this tax shieldis

PVCCATS =0.5TcdA

k+d+

0.5TcdA(1+k)(k+d)

TcdAk+d

× 1+0.5k1+k

35


PV of CCATS

When the assets are sold, their market value (S) is subtracted

from the asset pool. That is,Swon’t depreciate forever.

As of timen, the present value of the tax savings attributed toS is

TcdSk+d

,

and thus

PVCCATS =TcdA(1+0.5k)(k+d)(1+k)

− TcdS(k+d)(1+k)n .

36


In the Brutus example,

Year

0 1 2 3 4 5

(1−Tc)(S−C) 0 192 269 333 307 294

∆NWC 60 36 36 30 −12 −150

NCS 500 −180

PV of (1−Tc)(S−C) = 911,

PV of ∆NWC = 57,

PV of NCS = 411,

37


and

PVCCATS =TcdA(1+0.5k)(k+d)(1+k)

− TcdS(k+d)(1+k)n

=0.36×0.20×500×1.075

0.35×1.15− 0.36×0.20×180

0.35(1.15)5

= 78.

Therefore,

NPV = 911− 57 − 411 + 78 = $521.
