we've talked a lot about capital
[2]
budgeting and how it is that we're going
[3]
to evaluate all of the different
[6]
projects that we have available to us we
[8]
talked about the payback method and net
[9]
present value internal rate of return
[11]
and
[12]
evaluating risk and inflation all kinds
[14]
of different things and now we're kind
[16]
of
[16]
getting to the end of this and turning
[18]
our attention now to making a decision
[22]
we've been using these screening methods
[24]
to collect a list of
[25]
all of the different investments that
[27]
would be beneficial to the organization
[31]
and excluding all of those potential
[33]
investments that would not be beneficial
[35]
to the organization but what we
[37]
probably have is this nice long list of
[41]
beneficial opportunities that we could
[44]
invest in
[46]
in a perfect world we would have enough
[49]
money to be able to invest in
[51]
all of them unfortunately i don't think
[54]
any of us
[55]
live in that perfect world and so we
[58]
have
[58]
limited resources that are available to
[61]
us
[61]
to invest we cannot make all of the
[64]
investments that would be beneficial to
[66]
the organization
[67]
and so what we need to do is have a way
[69]
that we can
[71]
determine which investment should be
[73]
made first which investment should be
[75]
made second third
[76]
and so on and so that's what we're
[78]
looking at here
[79]
with this topic of capital rationing in
[82]
capital budgeting we don't have enough
[84]
capital
[85]
to make all of these investments
[89]
so we need to determine how we're going
[93]
to
[94]
allocate that capital how we're going to
[96]
use that limited capital that we can
[98]
with the goal of providing the highest
[102]
total return for the company
[105]
that's what we're trying to do we're
[107]
trying to maximize the return
[109]
to the company the benefit to the
[110]
company out of
[113]
the money that we have available for
[116]
these different investments and
[117]
what we've been doing so far is simply
[120]
determining whether or not an investment
[122]
would be beneficial to the organization
[124]
now we need to list them and again this
[127]
isn't going to be just
[128]
one specific tool that we use and then
[130]
we're done
[132]
this is a process that we're going to go
[133]
through but we start with what is called
[136]
the profitability index this is going to
[138]
get a benefit
[139]
cost ratio that represents the ratio of
[142]
the benefits to the cost the benefits
[145]
are
[145]
the present value of those net cash
[147]
inflows
[148]
the costs are the present value of those
[150]
net cash outflows
[152]
so we're going to get that ratio between
[154]
the net present value of the inflows and
[155]
the net present value of the outflows
[159]
in order to determine which investment
[161]
we should make first second third and so
[163]
on
[164]
and again this is a starting point so
[165]
we'll go ahead and look at the
[166]
calculation it's not that difficult we
[168]
take the
[169]
present value of the future net positive
[170]
cash inflows
[172]
and divide that by the net initial
[174]
investment plus the present value of any
[175]
future net negative cash flows
[178]
which there may not be any there may be
[180]
no years in the future in which there's
[182]
a negative cash flow
[183]
a net negative total negative cash flow
[186]
but if there are that's treated as part
[188]
of the denominator
[190]
so what we're going to do and we'll see
[191]
this in an example is we calculate the
[193]
profitability index for
[194]
every beneficial project that we have
[197]
all of those
[198]
yeses when we were doing net present
[199]
value and internal rate of return
[202]
but we can't simply start at the most
[206]
the highest profitability index and work
[208]
our way down
[210]
because we have to remember that we have
[211]
a limited amount of money and some of
[213]
these projects have
[214]
different amounts of investment so what
[217]
we need to do
[219]
is put together what is the combination
[222]
of investments
[223]
that still fit within our budget that
[225]
will maximize
[227]
the return and what we're looking at for
[230]
maximizing that return is
[232]
the highest total net present value
[235]
what are the investments the combination
[237]
of investments
[239]
that we have enough money to make that
[242]
will provide
[243]
the highest net present value for the
[247]
organization
[247]
and we'll go ahead and we'll look at
[248]
this with an example so
[251]
chips inc has the following investment
[253]
opportunities we have requirement
[254]
investment outlays and the present value
[256]
of the future estimated net cash inflows
[258]
for each of the investments are as
[260]
follows so we have four projects
[261]
the present value of the investment
[263]
three hundred thousand four hundred
[265]
fifty six hundred fifty and seven
[266]
hundred
[267]
000 and then we have the present value
[269]
of those future estimated net cash
[271]
inflows
[271]
starting at 350 000 going all the way up
[274]
to 1.2 million
[276]
for project four okay so those are the
[278]
investments
[279]
that we could make
[283]
chip inc budget ceiling for initial
[285]
outlays during the present period is one
[286]
million five hundred thousand
[288]
the proposed projects are independent of
[290]
each other and so the question is which
[291]
project or projects
[293]
should chips accept we have 1.5
[297]
million dollars available to us now if
[299]
we just look at what those
[301]
investments are we could invest in any
[302]
one individually
[304]
we could invest in projects one two and
[307]
three
[308]
we could invest in all three of those we
[310]
have enough money to do that
[312]
but if we invest in projects one two and
[313]
three we can't invest in project four
[316]
we could invest in two and three okay
[319]
well if we invest in two and three we
[321]
also want to invest in one i guess but
[322]
we can put together whatever
[324]
combination so long as it doesn't go
[326]
over 1.5
[328]
million dollars so what we're going to
[330]
do in this is find that combination of
[332]
the projects
[333]
that are going to not be more than 1.5
[336]
million dollars
[337]
okay all of them is 2.15 million so we
[340]
can't do
[340]
all of them the first step is to
[342]
calculate the profitability index
[344]
and the net present value of each
[346]
project profitability index is the
[348]
present value of the future estimated
[349]
net cash inflows divided by those cash
[352]
negative cash flows and the net present
[355]
value we know what that is
[356]
taking that net initial investment as
[359]
well and so
[360]
taking that information here's what we
[362]
get for each project we have the present
[364]
value the future estimated cash inflows
[367]
the present value of the investment cost
[368]
that gives us a net present value
[370]
and at the far right the profitability
[372]
index
[373]
so project three has the highest
[376]
profitability index
[377]
and the highest net present value
[381]
the next highest profitability index is
[384]
project four
[385]
and it's also the next highest net
[386]
present value and so the highest
[388]
profitability indices
[390]
praying for they also have the highest
[392]
net present values and so
[394]
that's where we're going to invest those
[396]
are the first
[398]
two investments we're going to make and
[401]
those two investments are 1.4 million
[403]
dollars
[405]
so we can make those two but we can't
[408]
make any other investments
[410]
now we could make investment two instead
[413]
of investment three
[416]
if we wanted to but we have much less
[419]
net present value if we were to choose
[421]
to invest in
[422]
project two instead of project three and
[425]
so it's just it's combination and this
[426]
one it worked out well for us
[428]
because the profitability index and the
[430]
net present value gave us the same kind
[432]
of conclusion in terms of how it is
[435]
or what it is that we should invest in
[437]
so in the situation where we
[439]
don't have enough money to make
[441]
investments in all of the beneficial
[443]
opportunities that we have
[445]
we're going to use the profitability
[447]
index as one of the tools to kind of
[449]
point us in the right direction to how
[451]
we can maximize
[452]
our overall net present value again the
[454]
formula the present value of the future
[456]
net
[457]
positive cash inflows divided by
[460]
the net initial investment and any
[462]
negative future net cash flows that
[465]
there are
[466]
so it's a tool it's a starting point but
[468]
again overall goal
[470]
is to maximize net present value and the
[472]
profitability index
[473]
is what's going to help us see where it
[475]
is we should be looking first to make
[476]
those investments that are going to
[478]
maximize
[479]
the net present value for the
[481]
organization
