Balance
Key question: is the expected return sufficient to justify the risk? In Figure 8-1, B is superior to A, despite its lower expected return. Why? B can be levered up to outperform A. Key innovation: incorporate risk into discount rate feature in DCF.

Risk Defined
There are two aspects to investment risk.
1. Dispersion 2. Correlation
Figure 8.2 illustrates dispersion. Dispersion risk is often known as an investments total risk.

Ballparking
Most executives have a rough sense of how stocks have performed relative to bonds over time. They know that stocks have outperformed government bonds by about 6.4% over time, which allows for a rough calculation of what discount rate to use for a project with average risk.

Tax
Because interest is tax deductible, the return that a companys assets must generate is based on the after-tax cost of debt, (1-t) x interest rate KD. The amount of money a firm must earn on existing capital annually is (1-t)KDD + KEE
8-19
Example
What are the right weights to use when computing the WACC? Weights based on book values or market values? Table 8-2 on the next slide illustrates a case when the two sets of weights are quite different from each other. Note that the table assumes that the market value of the debt is equal to the book value of the debt.

Comments
In the last slide, market value of equity significantly exceeds book value of equity. Later in the chapter we will discuss what the market-to-book ratio measures for equity. For now, keep in mind that a firms owners want a return on the current (market) value of their holdings, not on the historical (book) value of their investment.

Perpetual Growth
If shareholders expect a dividend of $d next year, with dividends growing at rate g into perpetuity, then the discount rate will be the sum of the dividend yield and the dividend growth rate. KE = d/P + g Use caution when applying this equation to companies whose recent growth rate differs from g*, its sustainable rate.

The sum of the first two terms is the interest rate on a government bond.
8-28
Beta
Over the last century, the risk premium has been about 6.4%. Some risky assets are riskier than others. To customize expected return computation, use beta. The risk premium is equal to the product of a beta and the historical excess return on common stocks. For the average share, beta = 1.

Beta Table
Examine Table 8.3. How variable are betas across companies? Which companies and industries are low risk? Which are high risk?

Varying Risk
If the risk associated with the new investments differs from the existing assets, additional considerations enter. Consider the market line displayed in the next slide. Higher risk implies a higher risk-adjusted discount rate.

Technique #2
2. In a multi-division company, calculate a separate cost of capital for each division. Otherwise, the company runs the risk of accepting projects that are too risky and rejecting projects that are too safe. Try to use primary division competitors, with pure plays, if possible.
8-40
Technique #3
3. Use risk buckets for different project types, and assign projects to buckets. Examples of buckets, ranked from low risk to high risk are:

Pitfalls
The general technique for doing investment appraisal is straightforward.
Estimate the cash flows. Estimate the risk. Identify the appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate. Discount the cash flows at the appropriate risk-adjusted rate.

The Pitfall
Dont compare the 20% IRR in the equity perspective to the WACC. Equity flows are riskier. Which perspective is better? The enterprise perspective is cleaner, as it makes the capital structure element more explicit.
8-46
Inflation
The pitfall is to omit inflation in the estimation of cash flows, but to include it in the discount rate. This pitfall leads to an overly conservative investment policy. Table 8-5 illustrates the point, where the error results from failing to build inflation into the price forecast.
8-47
TABLE 8-5 When Evaluating Investments under Inflation, Always Compare Nominal Cash Flows to a Nominal Discount Rate or Real Cash Flows to a Real Discount Rate ($ millions)
8-48
Real Options
The pitfall is failing to build in future decisions into a project. These decisions stem from contingency strategies, where managers future decisions will reflect the contingencies they face down the line. See Table 8-6, where there are 2 possible contingencies, success and failure.
Hurdle rates are 8%, 15%, or 25% depending on the project risk.

8-50
Options
Part a of Table 8-6 relates to a one-time decision. Part b of Table 8-6 relates to a situation where the firm can abandon the project at the end of Year 2 and dispose of the assets in Year 3. Part c of Table 8-6 relates to a situation where there is an option to expand in Year 2, as well as an option to abandon.

EVAs Appeal
There is no need to compute EVA in order to compute NPV. Why compute EVA at all? The answer is uniformity. Capital budgeting, performance appraisal, and incentive compensation can all be based on EVA. This is more streamlined than relying on a host of measures such as NPV, IRR, BCR, ROE, ROIC, EPS, etc.

APV
APV = NPVall-equity financing + PVinterest tax shields + PVany other side effects KA = ig + A x RP To illustrate combined use of asset beta and APV, consider Table 8A-2.

Comments
Asset beta computed using technique described earlier. Hurdle rate KA computed to discount free cash flows. Tax shield computed as t x interest payment. Annual interest is 1/10 of EBIT, meaning target TIE = 10. Discount rate used for tax shields should reflect riskiness of tax savings, so if interest is tied to EBIT, use KA.
