Because capital budgeting requires numerous repetitive cash flows, it is an ideal application for Excel. When doing a
no calculations on your own, but rather let Excel do the calculations for you. We will begin with the Baldwin Compan
We will start off with some preliminary work, including the depreciation each year, sales price, and unit costs:
The change in net working capital for each year is the beginning net working capital for each year minus the net wor
working capital each year is:
The machine will have a salvage value at the end of the project, but we are concerned with the aftertax salvage valu
Pretax salvage value
Taxes on sale
Aftertax salvage value
Now we can calculate the pro forma income statement for each year (Table 6.1), which will be:
Sales revenue
Operating costs
Depreciation
Income before taxes
Taxes at 21%
Net income
With this, the incremental cash flows each year, NPV for different interest rates, and IRR for the project are (Table 6

Inflation and Capital Budgeting
Inflation should always be considered in any long-term project. As long as inflation is correctly handled, the NPV of t

With these projections, we can generate the following nominal cash flows and NPV:

NPV @ 5%
When dealing with any cash flows, it is irrelevant whether you use real cash flows with the real interest rate or nom
