This document discusses using discounted cash flow analysis to make investment decisions. It covers topics such as identifying and calculating cash flows, using cash flows rather than accounting profits, using incremental cash flows, treating inflation, and separating investment and financing decisions. An example project for Blooper Industries is presented, showing the capital investment, revenues, expenses, taxes, depreciation, cash flows from operations, and net cash flows over several years to calculate the net present value.

Cash Flow vs. Accounting Income
Discount actual cash flows
Using accounting income, rather than cash flow,
could lead to erroneous decisions.
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 flow to the NPV
using accounting income.

Incremental Cash Flows
IMPORTANT
Ask yourself this 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.

Inflation
INFLATION RULE
Be consistent in how you handle inflation!!
Use nominal interest rates to discount
nominal cash flows.
Use real interest rates to discount real cash
flows.
You will get the same results, whether you
use nominal or real figures

Inflation
Example
You own a lease that will cost you $8,000 next
year, increasing at 3% a year (the forecasted
inflation rate) for 3 additional years (4 years
total). If discount rates are 10% what is the
present value cost of the lease?
1 real interest rate =
1+nominal interest rate
1+inflation rate

Separation of Investment &
Financing Decisions
When valuing a project, ignore how the
project is financed.
Following the logic from incremental
analysis ask yourself the following
question: Is the project existence dependent
on the financing? If no, you must separate
financing and investment decisions.
