incremental analysis now if we go back
[3]
to the beginning when we were talking
[4]
about
[4]
relevant cash flows and we had
[6]
differential cash flows and incremental
[8]
cash flows
[9]
those incremental cash flows were the
[10]
cash flows that were difference between
[13]
doing something and essentially doing
[16]
nothing
[17]
and so this idea of incremental analysis
[20]
and doing something or doing nothing
[22]
being our two choices
[24]
is something that we can use to help
[25]
make decisions from a capital budgeting
[27]
perspective and the most common example
[30]
and the one that you'd be most likely to
[31]
have to know has to do with deciding
[33]
whether or not to replace an old asset
[36]
with a newer asset because our choices
[39]
are do nothing
[40]
continue to operate with the existing
[42]
assets that we have or
[44]
the incremental cash flows would be
[45]
connected to the new replacement
[47]
asset and so what we're doing in a
[50]
situation like this is calculating the
[52]
difference in the cash flows between
[54]
doing nothing keeping the old asset or
[57]
doing something
[58]
and replacing that older asset and so
[61]
what we need to be doing in this
[62]
situation is identify
[65]
what the relevant cash flows are and
[67]
those are the cash flows that are
[68]
different between
[70]
keeping the old asset and getting the
[72]
new asset and so
[73]
what we're going to do is we're going to
[74]
kind of walk through this theoretically
[76]
and then we'll do it with an example
[77]
where we
[78]
have all of the numbers that go through
[80]
this so just kind of thinking about the
[82]
situation where we have
[84]
an old asset that we can keep
[87]
or we can buy a new asset what are those
[90]
relevant cash flows well we have the
[93]
after tax salvage value of the old
[95]
asset if we buy the new asset because if
[99]
we buy the new asset
[100]
we'll be able to sell the old asset and
[102]
so that would be
[104]
a cash flow connected to the decision to
[106]
buy the new asset
[107]
and then kind of looking at the other
[109]
end of the project
[111]
at the end of this new assets life it
[113]
will have a salvage value
[115]
and so what is the after-tax salvage
[117]
value of that new asset at the end of
[119]
its useful life we then also have this
[122]
whole issue about depreciation because
[123]
the old asset might have some
[125]
depreciable life left
[126]
and the new asset would have some
[128]
depreciation connected to it and so
[130]
we need to have the difference between
[132]
that depreciation tax yield for
[134]
the new asset and the old asset if that
[137]
old
[137]
asset still would have been depreciated
[140]
that'll be a difference
[141]
in the cash flows between the two
[143]
options and also if the old asset
[145]
would have had a salvage value at the
[147]
end of its life if not replaced
[150]
then the loss of that after-tax salvage
[153]
value at the end of the
[154]
old assets life because it would be sold
[156]
now
[157]
if the new asset is purchased and then
[159]
finally
[160]
any difference in any after tax
[162]
operating cash flows
[163]
that would result from the new asset
[165]
whether we're selling more and having
[167]
more income whether it's more efficient
[168]
and we have reduced operating
[170]
expenses whatever that difference is in
[172]
the operating cash flows
[174]
connected to the old asset or the new
[177]
asset
[178]
so what we're going to do is we're going
[180]
to set up an example here and read all
[181]
the information then we're going to go
[182]
through these five cash flows and
[184]
calculate
[186]
what the relevant cash flows are for
[187]
each of the these kind of ones that
[189]
we've identified here so here's our
[191]
information
[192]
wannabe companies considering replacing
[194]
an old manually controlled plastic
[197]
extrusion machine with a
[198]
computer-controlled extrusion machine
[200]
management estimates output could be
[202]
increased and labor costs would
[204]
would be reduced with the new machine so
[206]
that before tax operating cash flow
[208]
would be would increase by
[209]
ninety thousand dollars per year
[212]
wannabes cost of capital is twelve
[214]
percent
[215]
its effective tax rate on operating
[217]
income is forty percent and its capital
[219]
gains tax rate is thirty percent
[221]
well here we have two different tax
[223]
rates
[224]
and this doesn't make the question more
[226]
difficult
[227]
it adds another step in the calculations
[230]
perhaps what this means is
[232]
if we have any efficiencies either
[234]
increased revenue or
[235]
or decreased expenses that increase in
[237]
ninety thousand dollars per year
[239]
that's going to be taxed at a 40 tax
[242]
rate
[243]
but the sale of the old asset the sale
[245]
of the new asset at the end
[247]
that's going to be taxed at a 30 tax
[249]
rate so the tax adjustment is still the
[251]
same
[253]
it's just that we have two different tax
[254]
rates one for operating
[256]
and one for capital gains okay so just
[259]
another
[259]
item it doesn't make it more difficult
[261]
just one more thing that we need to pay
[262]
attention to
[263]
so the original cost of the existing
[265]
machine was eighty thousand we have
[267]
installation costs freight and insurance
[269]
the expected salvage value at the end of
[271]
the useful life
[272]
and both are depreciated on the
[274]
straight-line method
[275]
the existing machine had a five-year use
[277]
or a 10-year useful life the new machine
[279]
has a
[279]
five-year useful life so those are the
[282]
amounts that we have connected to
[284]
each of these options continuing the
[286]
existing machines expected useful life
[288]
at the time of its purchase was ten
[290]
years
[291]
and it's been in service for seven years
[293]
okay so it has three years left
[295]
it could be sold now for five thousand
[297]
however if the older machine is kept
[299]
assume that it will
[300]
not be sold at the end of its expected
[302]
useful life which would occur in year
[303]
three of the incremental capital budget
[305]
analysis
[306]
instead assume the old machine would
[308]
continue to be used for current
[309]
production through year five
[311]
of the incremental capital budget
[313]
analysis assume that at the end of year
[315]
five the old machine could be sold
[317]
for five hundred dollars all this means
[319]
is we're going to continue to use the
[320]
existing machine
[323]
after its depreciation period has ended
[326]
it had a 10-year useful life when we
[327]
purchased it it's going to be
[328]
depreciated over 10 years using the
[330]
straight-line method
[331]
but if we don't buy the new machine
[335]
we're going to continue to use that
[336]
asset for the next five years
[338]
two years after its original useful life
[341]
has ended which is
[342]
perfectly normal perfectly reasonable
[343]
assuming the asset is still
[345]
functional so our question is simple if
[348]
the new machine is purchased
[350]
what will be the net present value of
[352]
the new machine
[354]
and so what we have to do is go through
[355]
these five cash flows
[357]
and determine what is that incremental
[359]
cash flow connected to
[360]
the decision to purchase the new machine
[363]
so the first item
[364]
the after tax salvage value of the old
[366]
asset if and when the new asset is
[368]
purchased
[369]
okay so if we purchase the new asset can
[371]
be sold for five thousand dollars now
[374]
it's been in service for seven years
[375]
straight line depreciation has been
[376]
eight thousand five hundred dollars per
[378]
year
[378]
so 59 500 has been depreciated
[382]
the original cost was 85 000 if we take
[385]
into account all of the
[386]
other costs in addition to the cost of
[388]
the machine itself
[389]
um so the
[393]
tax basis is twenty five thousand five
[395]
hundred so we would have a twenty
[396]
thousand
[397]
five hundred dollar loss and the thirty
[400]
percent capital tax
[401]
capital gain tax rate our savings due to
[404]
the loss would be six thousand one
[405]
hundred fifty dollars
[407]
so if we buy the new machine
[412]
and we sell the old machine the cash
[415]
inflow from the old machine
[417]
is eleven thousand five hundred dollars
[420]
five thousand dollars
[421]
cash that we got from it and six
[424]
thousand one hundred and fifty dollars
[425]
in reduced taxes
[428]
because of the capital loss that we had
[429]
on the sale
[431]
of that old asset okay so that's our
[433]
first cash flow we got 11
[434]
150. now the second cash flow is the
[437]
after tax salvage value of the new asset
[440]
at the end of its useful life okay it
[442]
can be sold for ten thousand dollars at
[444]
the end of its useful at the end of its
[446]
life in year five
[447]
at that point the tax basis will be zero
[449]
so we'll have a ten thousand dollar gain
[452]
we have that thirty percent capital gain
[453]
tax rate pay three thousand dollars in
[456]
taxes so
[457]
the after after tax cash received from
[460]
the sale of the new asset
[461]
at the end of year five seven thousand
[464]
dollars
[465]
okay so that's what we've got so far now
[468]
the third
[470]
item is a little bit more involved it's
[472]
the difference between the depreciation
[473]
tax yield for the new asset and the
[475]
depreciation tax yield for the old asset
[479]
okay what that difference is going to be
[482]
so
[482]
on the old machine it would have been
[483]
eight thousand five hundred dollars per
[485]
year
[485]
for years one two and three and then
[488]
nothing for years four and five okay
[492]
the new machine is going to be a hundred
[494]
and sixty-five thousand dollar total
[496]
cost
[496]
five years thirty three thousand dollars
[499]
per year so the difference in the
[500]
depreciation tax well
[502]
the difference in the depreciation
[503]
expense
[505]
is thirty three thousand dollars minus
[507]
eight thousand five hundred
[509]
so twenty four thousand five hundred
[511]
dollars in years one two and three
[514]
and then thirty three thousand dollars
[516]
in year four and five
[517]
and those differences in depreciation
[519]
expense
[520]
need to be multiplied by forty percent
[524]
so the difference the difference in the
[526]
depreciation tax yield is
[528]
nine thousand eight hundred dollars in
[530]
years one two and three
[532]
and then thirteen thousand two hundred
[534]
dollars in years four and five
[537]
okay now the fourth difference that we
[540]
need to look at if the
[541]
old asset would have had a salvage value
[543]
at the end of its life if not replaced
[546]
the loss of that after-tax salvage value
[548]
at the end of the old assets life if it
[549]
is sold now
[550]
and the new asset is purchased so what
[552]
we're saying here is this
[553]
if we buy the new asset we're selling
[556]
the old asset right now
[559]
we already calculated the cash inflow
[560]
from that but
[562]
if we sell the old asset right now we
[565]
don't get
[566]
to sell it in five years in three years
[569]
when it was over when
[570]
it ended its useful life so we're giving
[572]
up
[573]
that future cash flow of selling the old
[575]
asset in the future
[577]
in exchange for selling the old asset
[579]
now so we need to calculate what it is
[581]
we're giving up because
[582]
we're giving we're getting the cash from
[585]
selling it now
[587]
but we are giving up the cash from
[590]
selling it later
[591]
so the salvage value of the old machine
[593]
if it were kept and used and sold at the
[595]
end of year five would be 500
[597]
would be fully depreciated for tax
[599]
purposes and so
[600]
we would have to pay taxes on that 500
[604]
capital gain 30 capital gain tax rate
[607]
150
[608]
in taxes so we have a 350
[611]
negative cash flow in year five because
[614]
this is the cash we would not
[617]
get in year five if the new machine is
[619]
purchased this is cash given up
[622]
in year five if we purchase it
[626]
if we purchase the new asset now this is
[629]
offset quite a bit by the cash we get if
[631]
we sell the old machine right now
[634]
but we're looking at the difference and
[636]
so we've got what we sell it for now
[638]
and what we're giving up later and
[641]
finally the easiest one really is that
[644]
operating cash flow that we have each
[646]
year and we know what it is it's 90 000
[649]
per year we have to pay taxes on it at
[651]
40 so that takes us down to 54
[654]
000 is our after tax cash flow for that
[658]
and that's
[658]
every year now what we do next is we can
[661]
put all of those
[662]
amounts into our table we've got our
[664]
investment in year zero of 165
[666]
000 we have the after tax cash flow from
[668]
the sale of the old machine
[670]
we then have the depreciation tax yield
[674]
difference each of those years 9 800 for
[676]
the first three years and then 13
[678]
200. the operating cash flow we have
[680]
that lost
[682]
350 dollars by not selling the out the
[684]
old asset at the end
[686]
we have the seven thousand dollar sale
[689]
of the asset at the end
[690]
we get the net cash flows each year we
[692]
take the present value of each of those
[694]
at twelve percent because that was our
[695]
required return
[697]
and we get the discounted cash flows for
[700]
each year individually but we do have to
[702]
take and
[702]
add all of those together we add all of
[705]
those net
[706]
all those individual cash flows together
[708]
we get a net present value of eighty
[709]
four thousand
[711]
ten dollars so
[714]
if wannabe company purchases the new
[717]
machine
[720]
they're gonna have an eighty four
[721]
thousand ten dollar net present
[723]
net present value from that decision so
[726]
then that present value is gonna
[727]
increase
[727]
by eighty four thousand ten 10 if they
[730]
purchased the new machine
[732]
now we could have done this
[736]
another way instead of focusing on the
[739]
differences between
[741]
keeping the old asset and buying the new
[742]
asset we could have done
[744]
what are the next five years cash flows
[746]
if we keep the old machine
[750]
and what are the five-year cash flows if
[752]
we buy the new machine
[756]
and compare those differences compare
[758]
the total of the
[759]
current machine the total of the new
[761]
machine and compare the differences we
[763]
would get 84
[764]
000 10 but what we've done here is
[766]
instead of making
[767]
two full calculations we've made one
[770]
full calculation by looking at the
[772]
difference those
[773]
incremental cash flows from the decision
[775]
of purchasing the new machine
[777]
compared to the decision of not
[780]
purchasing the new machine or
[781]
essentially
[782]
doing nothing so a lot of numbers here
[785]
this example is probably bigger than
[788]
what you would have certainly in a
[789]
multiple choice question
[790]
maybe if you got something about this on
[792]
a problem it would get
[793]
kind of close to this but you're just
[796]
identifying what are the different
[798]
cash flows between the two options and
[800]
if you did get a big problem like this
[802]
in one of the problems the good news is
[805]
you get points for everything you do
[807]
correctly so if you did this whole
[809]
table of cash flows you made this whole
[811]
table here and you got one of those
[812]
numbers wrong
[814]
you miscalculated or you didn't take
[816]
into account that
[817]
what they give up by selling the machine
[819]
now the old machine now instead of
[821]
selling the old machine at the end at
[822]
350
[824]
you'd get 95 of the points
[829]
okay so you get points in the problems
[831]
for doing everything
[832]
correctly and so don't worry about one
[834]
out of twenty numbers maybe being wrong
[836]
you've done
[836]
absolutely brilliantly on that question
[838]
you can get ninety-five percent of the
[840]
points
[841]
and that's a that's a good result okay
[843]
so
[844]
incremental analysis making it or using
[846]
it to make the decision about whether or
[848]
not we should keep the old machine
[850]
or whether or not we should invest in
[851]
that new machine and we've done the
[852]
analysis here
[853]
by looking at the cash flows that are
[855]
different
[856]
between the two options those
[858]
incremental cash flows and using that
[861]
to make our decision
