The Baldwin Company: An Example

Because capital budgeting requires numerous repetitive cash flows, it is an ideal application for Excel. When doing a
should do few or no calculations manually, but rather let Excel do the calculations for you. We will begin with the Ba
projections for the project:

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3


Units sold per year 5,000 8,000 12,000
Price per unit for Year 1 $ 20.00
Price increase per year 2%
Inflation rate 5%
Tax rate 21%
Unit production cost for Year 1 $ 10.00
Increase in unit cost per year 10%
NWC to start project $ 10,000
NWC for subsequent years 10%
Depreciation rate 20.00% 32.00% 19.20%
Cost of machine $ 100,000
Cost of warehouse $ 150,000
Pretax salvage value $ 30,000

We will start off with some preliminary work, including the calculation of depreciation each year, sales price, and un

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3


Depreciation $ 20,000 $ 32,000 $ 19,200
Accumulated depreciation 20,000 52,000 71,200
Adjusted basis of machine 80,000 48,000 28,800
Price per unit 20.00 20.40 20.81
Sales revenue 100,000 163,200 249,696
Cost per unit 10.00 11.00 12.10
Operating costs 50,000 88,000 145,200

The change in net working capital for each year is the beginning net working capital for each year minus the net wor
change in net working capital each year is:

Net working capital


Beginning NWC $ 10,000 $ 10,000 $ 16,320
End of year NWC 10,000 16,320 24,970
NWC cash flow $ - $ (6,320) $ (8,650)

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 $ 30,000
Taxes on sale 5,090
Aftertax salvage value $ 24,910

Now we can calculate the pro forma income statement for each year (Table 8.1 in the textbook), which will be:

Sales revenue $ 100,000 $ 163,200 $ 249,696


Operating costs 50,000 88,000 145,200
Depreciation 20,000 32,000 19,200
Income before taxes $ 30,000 $ 43,200 $ 85,296
Taxes at 21 percent 6,300 9,072 17,912
Net income $ 23,700 $ 34,128 $ 67,384

With this, the incremental cash flows each year, NPV for different interest rates, and IRR for the project are (Table 8

Year 0 Year 1 Year 2


Sales revenue $ 100,000 $ 163,200
Operating costs 50,000 88,000
Taxes 6,300 9,072
Cash flow from operations $ 43,700 $ 66,128
Bowling ball machine $ (100,000)
Warehouse (150,000)
Net working capital (10,000) - (6,320)
Total cash flow of project $ (260,000) $ 43,700 $ 59,808
