• Present Value (PV)

– A dollar today is worth more than a dollar
tomorrow
• Net Present Value (NPV)
– NPV = PV – INV
• NPV Rule
– Accept the project that makes a net contribution
to value.
• Rate Of Return Rule
– Rate of Return is > Cost of Capital

Topics covered
• Opportunity Cost of Capital
• Investment vs. Consumption
• Managers and the Interests of Shareholders

Opportunity Cost of Capital
• The opportunity cost of capital is such an
important concept.
• Theory of valuation endorses that rate of
return of the project must always be greater
to the rate of return of an alternative
opportunity.
• This alternative rate becomes an opportunity
cost of capital.

Example
You may invest $100,000 today. Depending on the
state of the economy, you may get one of three
possible cash payoffs:
Economy Slump Normal Boom
Payoff $80,000 110,000 140,000
80,000  100,000  140,000
Expected payoff  C1   $110,000

• But what’s the right discount rate?
• You search for a common stock with the same risk
as the investment.
• Stock X turns out to be a perfect match i.e., X’s
price next year, given a normal economy, is
forecasted at $110.
• The stock price will be higher in a boom and lower
in a slump, but to the same degrees as your
investment ($140 in a boom and $80 in a slump).
Continue
Example - continued
The stock is trading for $95.65. Depending on the
state of the economy, the value of the stock at the
end of the year is one of three possibilities:
Economy Slump Normal Boom

Stock Pric e $80 110 140

The stocks expected payoff leads to an expected

Continue
• The amount it would cost investors in the
stock market to buy an expected cash flow is
$110,000. (They could do so by buying 1,000
shares of stock X @ $110 each)
• It is, therefore, also the sum that investors

would be prepared to pay you for your
project.

Example - continued
Discounting the expected payoff at the expected
return leads to the PV of the project.
110,000
PV   $95,650

Continue
• To calculate net present value, deduct the
initial investment:
NPV = 95,650 - 100,000 = -$4,350
• The project is worth $4,350 less than it costs.

• It is not worth undertaking.

Alternative
• Compare the expected project return with
the cost of capital:
expected profit 110  100
Expected return    .10 or 10%
investment 100
• The 10 % return on project < 15 % return on

stock of equal risk.
• The project is not worthwhile.
Discount rate equals the
opportunity cost of capital
• The opportunity cost of capital is the return
earned by investing in the best alternative
investment.
• This return will not be realized if the investment
under consideration is undertaken.
• Thus, the two investments must earn at least the
same return.
• This return rate is the discount rate used in the
net present value calculation.
A source of Confusion
• Bank A will lend you the $100,000 that you
need for the project at 8 percent. Does that
mean that the cost of capital for the project is
8 %? Or does not?
• Does Not - First, the interest rate on the loan
has nothing to do with the risk of the project.
• Second, whether you take the loan or not, you
still face the choice between the projects.

Case: Norman
• Norman Gerrymander has just received a $2
million bequest. How should he invest it?
• There are four immediate alternatives.
– Which of these investments have positive NPVs?
– Which would you advise Norman to take?
Lets have a look each of them!

Alternative A
• A - Investment in one-year U.S. government
securities yielding 5 percent.
• Step 1: calculate the payoff after 1 year.
= 2.0M X 5% = 2.1 M.
• Step 2: Discounting the expected payoff at the

expected return leads to the PV of the project.

Continue
2.1 M
PV   $ 2 .0 M
1.05
• Step 3: To calculate net present value, deduct the
initial investment:
NPV = $2.0M - $2.0M = $0
• The ‘A’ investment has not contributed to the net

value.
Alternative B
• B - A loan to Norman’s nephew Gerald, who
has for years aspired to open a big Cajun
restaurant in Duluth.
• Gerald had arranged a one-year bank loan for
$900,000, at 10 percent, but asks for a loan
from Norman at 7 percent.
= 0.9 M X 7% = 0.96 M.
Continue
0.96 M
PV   $0.88 M
1.10
Continue
• Step 3: To calculate net present value, deduct
the initial investment:
NPV = $0.88M - $.9M = -$0.02M
• The project is worth $0.02M less than it costs.
• The ‘B’ investment has brought decline to the
net value.

Alternative C
• C - Investment in the stock market. The
expected rate of return is 12 percent.
= 2.0 M X 12% = 2.24 M.

Continue
2.26 M
PV   $ 2 .0 M
1.12

Continue
NPV = $2.0M - $2.0M = $0
• The ‘C’ investment has not contributed to the

net value nor a decline.

Alternative D
• B - Investment in local real estate, which
Norman judges is about as risky as the stock
market.
• The opportunity at hand would cost $1 million
and is forecasted to be worth $1.1 million
after one year.
= $ 1.1 M.

Continue
1.1 M
PV   $0.98 M
1.12

Continue
NPV = $0.98M - $1.0M = -$0.02M
• The project is worth $0.02M less than it costs.
• The ‘D’ investment has brought decline to the
net value.

Continue
• Results from four Alternatives;
– The ‘A’ investment has not contributed to the net value
nor a decline.
– The ‘B’ investment has brought decline to the net value.
– The ‘C’ investment has not contributed to the net value
nor a decline.
– The ‘D’ investment has brought decline to the net value.
• Decision;
– Norman should invest in either the risk-free government
securities or the risky stock market, depending on his
tolerance for risk.

Investment vs. Consumption
• Some people prefer to consume now. Some
prefer to invest now and consume later.
• Borrowing and lending allows us to reconcile

these opposing desires which may exist within
the firm’s shareholders.
• Could a positive-NPV project for Ms. X be a

negative-NPV proposition for Mr. Y? Could they
find it impossible to agree on the objective of
maximizing the market value of the firm?

Continue
• This could be answer;
• Well functioned capital markets allows
investors with different time patterns of
income and desired consumption to agree on
whether investment projects should be
undertaken.
• Lets consider an example !

Ant vs Grasshopper
• A is an ant, who wishes to save for the future;
G is a grasshopper, who would prefer to spend
all his wealth.
• Suppose both of them can earn a return of
about 14 percent on every $100 investment.
The interest rate is 7 percent.

The grasshopper (G) wants to
consume now. The ant (A) wants to
wait. But each is happy to invest. A
prefers to invest 14%, moving up the
red arrow, rather than at the 7%
interest rate. G invests and then
borrows at 7%, thereby transforming
$100 into $106.54 of immediate
consumption. Because of the
investment, G has $114 next year to
pay off the loan. The investment’s
NPV is $106.54-100 = +6.54
• The grasshopper (G) wants to consume now.

Now
Calculation
• Return of A: INV = C0; C1 = Payoff;
– r = C1 -C0 / C0 * 100 =
= 14%
• NPV for G: INV = C0; C1 = Payoff; INT = r;

– PV = C1/ (1+r)t = = $106.54
NPV = PV – C0 =
Explanation
• In our example the ant and the grasshopper
placed an identical value on same project and
were happy to share in its construction.
• They agreed because they faced identical
borrowing and lending opportunities.
• Whenever firms discount cash flows at capital
market rates, they are implicitly assuming that
their shareholders have free and equal access
to competitive capital markets.
Continue
• Despite their different tastes, both A and G
are better off by investing in the project and
then using the capital markets to achieve the
desired balance between consumption today
and consumption at the end of the year.
• If A and G were shareholders in the same
enterprise, there would be no simple way for
the manager to reconcile their different
objectives.

Summary
– Rate of an Alternative investment opportunity
having a similar risk.

– Manager finds it difficult to reconcile the different
objectives of the shareholders.

Calculation of NPV and ROR
• The opportunity cost of capital is 20 percent for all four
investments.
Initial Cash Cash Flow
Investment Flow, C0 in Year 1, C1
1 10,000 18,000
2 5,000 9,000
3 5,000 5,700
4 2,000 4,000
a. Which investment is most valuable?

b. Suppose each investment would require use of the same
parcel of land. Therefore you can take only one. Which one?

Continue

Continue
• Answer to question ‘a’;
– Investment 1, since this investment with respect
to others has generate highest NPV with Max rate
of return.
• Answer to question ‘b’;

– Investment 1, since this investment with respect
to others has highest contributed net value.

Decision Rules
• Here then we have two equivalent decision
rules for capital investment;
– Net present value rule; Accept investments that

have positive net present values.
– Rate-of-return rule; Accept investments that offer
rates of return in excess of their opportunity costs
of capital.

Fundamental Result
• Our justification of the present value rule was
restricted to two periods and to a certain cash
flow.
• However, the rule also makes sense for
uncertain cash flows that extend far into the
future. The argument goes like this:
• 1- A financial manager should act in the
interests of the firm’s owners, its
stockholders.
Continue
• 2- Stockholders do not need the financial
manager’s help to achieve the best time
pattern of consumption.
• 3- How then can the financial manager help

the firm’s stockholders?
– There is only one way: by increasing the market
value of each stockholder’s stake in the firm.

Continue
• Despite the fact that shareholders have
different preferences, they are unanimous in
the amount that they want to invest in real
assets.
• This means that they can cooperate in the

same enterprise and can safely delegate
operation of that enterprise to professional
managers.

Continue
• These managers do not need to know
anything about the tastes of their
shareholders and should not consult their own
tastes.
• Their task is to maximize net present value. If

they succeed, they can rest assured that they
have acted in the best interest of their
shareholders.

Managers and Shareholder Interests
• Do managers really looking after the interests
of shareholders?
• This takes us back to the principal–agent
problem.
– Several institutional arrangements that help to
ensure that the shareholders’ pockets are close to
the managers’ heart.

Continue
• Utilizing their Voting power;
– If shareholders believe that the corporation is
underperforming and that the board of directors
is not sufficiently aggressive in holding the
managers to task, they can try to replace the
board in the next election.
• E.g; chief executives of Eastman Kodak,
General Motors, Xerox, Lucent, Ford Motor,
etc were all forced to step aside.

Continue
• As a result the stock price tumbles.
– This damages top management’s reputation and
compensation.
• Part of the top managers’ paychecks comes
from bonuses tied to the company’s earnings
or from stock options, which pay off if the
stock price rises but are worthless if the price
falls below a stated threshold.
– This should motivate managers to increase
earnings and the stock price.

Continue
• If managers and directors do not maximize
value, there is always the threat of a hostile
takeover.
• The further a company’s stock price falls, due
to lax management or wrong-headed policies,
the easier it is for another company or group
of investors to buy up a majority of the shares.
– The old management team is then likely to find
themselves out on the street and their place is
taken by a fresh team.

Continue
• Should managers look after the interests of
shareholders?
• For this question we need to understand that
In most instances there is little conflict
between doing well (maximizing value) and
doing good.
– Profitable firms are those with satisfied customers
and loyal employees and vice versa;

Continue
• Ethical issues do arise in business as in other
walks of life.
– when we say that the objective of the firm is to
maximize shareholder wealth, we do not mean that
anything goes.
• In business and finance, as in other day-to-day
affairs, there are unwritten, implicit rules of
behavior.
• To work efficiently together, we need to trust
each other.

Summary
– Rate of an Alternative investment opportunity
having a similar risk.
– Manager finds it difficult to reconcile the different
objectives of the shareholders.
• Managers and the Interests of Shareholders
– Are managers taking care of the interests of the
Shareholders or should they?

almost instantaneously by investors who try

Alternatively
• We can simply look up the answer in the
annuity table given on the next slide.
• This table gives the present value of a dollar
to be received in each of t periods.
• In our example t = 20 and the interest rate r
= .10, and therefore;
• We look at the twentieth number from the top
in the 10 percent column. It is 8.514. Multiply
8.514 by $100,000, and we have our answer,
$851,400.
Compound Interest
• There is an important distinction between
compound interest and simple interest.
– When money is invested at compound interest,
each interest payment is reinvested to earn more
interest in subsequent periods.
– In contrast, the opportunity to earn interest on
interest is not provided by an investment that
pays only simple interest.

Compounding Interest
Suppose that the bank starts with $10 million of automobile loans
outstanding. This investment grows to ;
$10 * 1.005 = $10.05 million after month 1,

$10 * 1.0052 = $10.10025 million after month 2, and
$10 1.00512 $10.61678 million after 12 months.
Thus the bank is quoting a 6 percent APR but actually earns

6.1678 percent if interest payments are made monthly.
In general, an investment of $1 at a rate of r per annum

compounded m times a year amounts by the end of the year to
[1 + (r/m)]m, and the equivalent annually compounded rate of
interest is [1 + (r/m)]m - 1.

• 1$ at the end of the year can be calculated as;
– [1 + (r/m)]m ;
• Since, we have r = 6%; periods = m = 12, 52;
– = ; =
– = $1.06168 = $1.06180
• Annually compounded rate;
– [1 + (r/m)]m – 1
– = ; =

Continuous Compounding
• Eventually one can quote a continuously
compounded rate, so that payments were assumed to
be spread evenly and continuously throughout the year.
• In terms of our formula, this is equivalent to letting m

approach infinity.
As m approaches infinity [1 + (r/m)]m approaches

(2.718)r or er = (2.718)r
•By the end of t years ert = (2.718)rt

Example 1
• Suppose you invest $1 at a continuously
compounded rate of 11 percent (r=.11) for one year
(t =1). The end-year value is e =.11, which can be
calculated as;
ert = (2.718).11*1 = $1.116
•In other words, investing at 11 percent a year

continuously compounded is exactly the same as
investing at 11.6 percent a year annually
compounded.
Example 2
• Suppose you invest $1 at a continuously
compounded rate of 11 percent (r=.11) for two year
(t =2). The end-year value is e =.11, which you can be
calculated as;
ert = (2.718).11*2 = $1.246
• In other words, investing at 11 percent for 2 years

continuously compounded is exactly the same as
investing at 24.6 percent a year annually
compounded.

Example 3
• Suppose that we start thinking more seriously
and decided to found a home for us, which
will cost $100,000 a year, starting and spread
evenly over 20 years. Annual compounding
rate is 10%. What sum should we set aside?
• Here we going to apply Annuity formula

– Step 1: calculate continuously compounded rate
– r = 9.53% or ( e .0953 = 1.10)

Continue
• Step2: calculate the PV of the annuity;
– PV = C [1/r – (1/r*1/ert)]
= $893,200

Alternatively
• we could have cut these calculations short by
using PV of annuity Table, given on the next
slide.
• This shows that, if the annually compounded

return is 10 percent, then $1 a year spread
over 20 years is worth $8.932.
