What do we know about investment appraisal

.
Investment appraisal is a business
concept which compares
expected future income to be derived from an investment with
the expenditure of incurring the investment. In non-profit
making organizations where investments are not made with
the objective of earning a return, the concept may not always
be directly applicable. In such organizations, investment
appraisal techniques may be used to compare alternative
proposals in order to provide the best value for the money
spent Bodie Zvi and Merton Robert (1998).

Investment appraisal

Investment appraisal is used to look at a potential capital


investment by a firm and measure its potential value to the
firm. There is more than one method of Investment Appraisal,
and each different method allows the potential return on the
investment to be examined in a different way Atrill Peter (2006).

Investment appraisal methods

What a difference between 1 now and 1 in a


years time?
Factors change the value of money
Interest cost
Inflation
Other risks to materialise the money

Time value of money

For example: the annual interest rate is 10%, I


lend you 1 now and will get back after 1 year,
how much worth of that 1 in a years time?
? x (1+10%) = 1
? = 0.91

10% is called cost of capital; ? is called the


discount factor

The payback period is the amount of time taken


for the net cash flow resulting from an investment
to match (=), the initial cost of the investment (F9
Kaplan book ACCA.

Payback period

Formula Payback period = Initial


investment/Annual cash flow
This formula is only applicable if equal cash flows

Advantages
Simple to use.
Assists with cash flow
Effective when technology is fast
Changing
Disadvantages of Payback method
Ignores flows of cash over the lifetime of
the project.
Ignores total profitability.

Look on cumulative cash flow in end of year 3 ( 400) left to


meet initial investment and year four our cash flow is 500 so
our payback period should be three years and some months.
400/500 =0.8 years so 0.8x12 = 10 . Now payback 3 year
and 10 months.

DCS
. techniques are used in calculating the net present value of a series of
cash flows. This measures the change in shareholder wealth now as a
result of accepting a project. NPV = present value of cash inflows less
present value of cash outflows .. If the NPV is positive, it means that the
cash inflows from a project will yield a return in excess of the cost of
capital, and so the project should be undertaken if the cost of capital is the
organisation's target rate of return. .. If the NPV is negative, it means that
the cash inflows from a project will yield a return below the cost of
capital, and so the project should not be undertaken if the cost of capital is
the organisation's target rate of return. .. If the NPV is exactly zero, the
cash inflows from a project will yield a return which is exactly the same as
the cost of capital, and so if the cost of capital is the organisation's target
rate of return, the project will have a neutral impact on shareholder wealth
and therefore would not be worth undertaking because of the inherent
risks in any project.

Pros
Direct link to shareholder wealth, consider time
value of money, uses all cash flows, absolute
measure return.

Cons
Difficult to explain, require a cost of capital, rather
complex.
