Case 12: Southwest Airlines Capital Budgeting: One Project - Accept/Reject DecisionThe airline industry is extremely cyclical. That is, when the economy does well, so too do airlines. Inrecent years, the airline industry has found itself with too many seats and too few passengers. Someexperts point to the past deregulation of the industry while others argue that technological advances suchas teleconferencing are responsible. Several airlines such as Continental, America West, Eastern, andTrans World Airlines, have filed for Chapter 11Bankruptcy. Some have fully recovered, while others havebeen forced to liquidate (Chapter7). Narrowing profit margins have prompted airlines to develop creativesurvival tactics. Southwest Airlines has successfully found its niche in the industry by providing directflight service to less traveled routes such as those to and from smaller cities. Since these routes donotgenerate nearly as much revenue as major city routes, Southwest has found ways toreduce…

- BASICS OF CAPITAL BUDGETING You recently went to work for Allied Components Company, a supplier of auto repair parts used in the after-market with products from Daimler AG, Ford, Toyota, and other automakers. Your boss, the chief financial officer (CFO), has just handed you the estimated cash flows for two proposed projects. Project L involves adding a new item to the firms ignition system line; it would take some time to build up the market for this product, so the cash inflows would increase over time. Project S involves an add-on to an existing line, and its cash flows would decrease over time. Both projects have 3-year lives because Allied is planning to introduce entirely new models after 3 years. Here are the projects after-tax cash flows (in thousands of dollars): Depredation, salvage values, net operating working capital requirements, and tax effects are all included in these cash flows. The CFO also made subjective risk assessments of each project, and he concluded that both projects have risk characteristics that are similar to the firms average project Allieds WACC is 10%. You must determine whether one or both of the projects should be accepted. a. What is capital budgeting? Are there any similarities between a firms capital budgeting decisions and an individuals investment decisions? b. What is the difference between independent and mutually exclusive projects? Between projects with normal and nonnormal cash flows? c. 1. Define the term net present value (NPV). What is each projects NPV? 2. What is the rationale behind the NPV method? According to NPV, which project(s) should be accepted if they are independent? Mutually exclusive? 3. Would the NPVs change if the WACC changed? Explain. d. 1. Define the term internal rate of return (IRR). What is each projects IRR? 2. How is the IRR on a project related to the YTM on a bond? 3. What is the logic behind the IRR method? According to IRR, which project(s) should be accepted if they are independent? Mutually exclusive? 4. Would the projects IRRs change if the WACC changed? e. 1. Draw NPV profiles for Projects L and S. At what discount rate do the profiles cross? 2. Look at your NPV profile graph without referring to the actual NPVs and IRRs. Which project(s) should be accepted if they are independent? Mutually exclusive? Explain. Are your answers correct at any WACC less than 23.6%? f. 1. What is the underlying cause of ranking conflicts between NPV and IRR? 2. What is the reinvestment rate assumption, and how does it affect the NPV versus IRR conflict? 3. Which method is best? Why? g. 1. Define the term modified IRR (MIRR). Find the MIRKs for Projects L and S. 2. What are the MIRRs advantages and disadvantages as compared to the NPV? h. 1. What is the payback period? Find the paybacks for Projects L and S. 2. What is the rationale for the payback method? According to the payback criterion, which project(s) should be accepted if the firms maximum acceptable payback is 2 years, if Projects L and S are independent? If Projects L and S are mutually exclusive? 3. What is the difference between the regular and discounted payback methods? 4. What are the two main disadvantages of discounted payback? Is the payback method useful in capital budgeting decisions? Explain. i. As a separate project (Project P), the firm is considering sponsoring a pavilion at the upcoming Worlds Fair. The pavilion would cost 800,000, and it is expected to result in 5 million of incremental cash inflows during its 1 year of operation. However, it would then take another year, and 5 million of costs, to demolish the site and return it to its original condition. Thus, Project Ps expected cash flows (in millions of dollars) look like this: The project is estimated to be of average risk, so its WACC is 10%. 1. What is Project Ps NPV? What is its IRR? Its MIRR? 2. Draw Project Ps NPV profile. Does Project P have normal or nonnormal cash flows? Should this project be accepted? Explain.arrow_forwardCapital rationing decision for a service company involving four proposals Renaissance Capital Group is considering allocating a limited amount of capital investment funds among four proposals. The amount of proposed investment, estimated income from operations, and net cash flow for each proposal are as follows: The company's capital rationing policy requires a maximum cash payback period of three years. In addition, a minimum average rate of return of 12% is required on all projects. If the preceding standards are met, the net present value method and present value indexes are used to rank the remaining proposals. Instructions 1. Compute the cash payback period for each of the four proposals. 2. Giving effect to straight-line depreciation on the investments and assuming no estimated residual value, compute the average rate of return for each of the four proposals. Round to one decimal place. 3. Using the following format, summarize the results of your computations in parts (1) and (2). By placing the calculated a mounts in the first two columns on the left and by placing a check mark in the appropriate column to the right, indicate which proposals should be accepted for further analysis and which should be rejected. 4. For the proposals accepted for further analysis in part (3), compute the net present value. Use a rate of 15% and the present value of 1 table appearing in this chapter (Exhibit 2). 5. Compute the present value index for each of the proposals in part (4). Round to two decimal places. 6. Rank the proposals from most attractive to least attractive, based on the present values of net cash flows computed in part (4). 7. Rank the proposals from most attractive to least attractive, based on the present value indexes computed in part (5). 8. Based on the analyses, comment on the relative attractiveness of the proposals ranked in parts (6) and (7).arrow_forwardQuestion 5 The Finance Director of Kawabwa Construction plc recently overhauled the control system and designed a new method of assessing capital investments that applies the NPV rule to all new investment proposals and will assess performance of current of investments by the same method. He has created a report that will go to the board of directors monthly. This will give an NPV estimation to the cash flows produced and expected by each investment, and CFO plans to use this as a signaling device on the performance of all investments. This, he claims, will introduce rigour into the whole use of capital process. The Chairman ventured the opinion that this approach was a receipt for disaster. Why do you think he felt this way?arrow_forward
