Pool of Possible Alternatives n May be a single alternative or combination of alternative n Must be mutually exclusive n Must meet the desired objectives without going over budget Construction Accounting & Financial Management, 3/e Steven Peterson © 2013 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 • All Rights Reserved
Sunk Costs n Sunk costs are: q q n Costs already incurred Costs that have been committed to be paid that cannot be canceled Sunk costs should not be used in decision making because the money has already been spent Construction Accounting & Financial Management, 3/e Steven Peterson © 2013 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 • All Rights Reserved
Minimum Attractive Rate of Return (MARR) n Interest rate at which alternatives will be evaluated n Should cover cost of capital and minimum acceptable profit q Profit covers risk Construction Accounting & Financial Management, 3/e Steven Peterson © 2013 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 • All Rights Reserved
Study Period n The period of time over which the alternatives will be studied n All alternatives must have the same life span as the study period Construction Accounting & Financial Management, 3/e Steven Peterson © 2013 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 • All Rights Reserved
Adjusting Live Spans n Shorten by adding salvage value n Lengthen by adding maintenance cost at end of life q n Repurchase alternative q n For example, upgrading a computer May be done until alternatives end at the same time Combination of above Construction Accounting & Financial Management, 3/e Steven Peterson © 2013 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 • All Rights Reserved
Net Present Value (NPV) or Present Worth n Determine present value (at beginning of the study period) for each alternative’s cash flows n Select alternative with largest NPV n If: NPV >0: Alternative has return > MARR NPV =0: Alternative has return = MARR NPV <0: Alternative has return < MARR Construction Accounting & Financial Management, 3/e Steven Peterson © 2013 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 • All Rights Reserved
Incremental Net Present Value n Alternatives compared by the differences in their cash flows Construction Accounting & Financial Management, 3/e Steven Peterson © 2013 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 • All Rights Reserved
Incremental Net Present Value— Steps n Step 1: Rank alternative based upon initial cost (low to high) n Step 2: Alternative with lowest cost is “current best alternative” n Step 3: Compare “current best alternative” with next alternative based upon net present value Construction Accounting & Financial Management, 3/e Steven Peterson © 2013 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 • All Rights Reserved
Incremental Net Present Value— Steps n Step 4: if: q q n If NPV is positive the next alternative becomes the “current best alternative” If NPV is zero or negative the “current best alternative” remains the “current best alternative” Step 5: Repeat Step 4 until alternatives have been considered Construction Accounting & Financial Management, 3/e Steven Peterson © 2013 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 • All Rights Reserved
Future Worth (FW) n Determine future worth (at end of the study period) for each alternative’s cash flows n Select alternative with largest future worth n If: FW >0: Alternative has return > MARR FW =0: Alternative has return = MARR FW <0: Alternative has return < MARR Construction Accounting & Financial Management, 3/e Steven Peterson © 2013 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 • All Rights Reserved
Future Worth (FW) n Selects the same alternative as the net present value n Future Worth = NPV (1 + MARR)Years Construction Accounting & Financial Management, 3/e Steven Peterson © 2013 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 • All Rights Reserved
Annual Equivalent (AE) n Determine annual equivalent for each alternative’s cash flows n Study periods may be different q q n Assumes alternatives are repurchased Need not adjust lifes Select alternative with largest annual equivalent Construction Accounting & Financial Management, 3/e Steven Peterson © 2013 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 • All Rights Reserved
Annual Equivalent (AE) n If: AE >0: Alternative has return > MARR AE =0: Alternative has return = MARR AE <0: Alternative has return < MARR n Selects the same alternative as the net present value and future worth n AE = NPV [i(1 + i)n]/[(1 + i)n – 1] n AE = FW [i(1 + i)n]/[(1 + i)n – 1] Construction Accounting & Financial Management, 3/e Steven Peterson © 2013 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 • All Rights Reserved
Rate of Return n Interest rate that produces a NPV of zero n Select alternative with largest rate of return n If best rate of return is less than the MARR consider rejecting all alternative Construction Accounting & Financial Management, 3/e Steven Peterson © 2013 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 • All Rights Reserved
Incremental Rate of Return n Alternatives compared in the differences in their cash flows Construction Accounting & Financial Management, 3/e Steven Peterson © 2013 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 • All Rights Reserved
Incremental Rate of Return— Steps n Step 1: Rank alternative based upon initial cost (low to high) n Step 2: Alternative with lowest cost is “current best alternative” n Step 3: Compare “current best alternative” with next alternative based on rate of return Construction Accounting & Financial Management, 3/e Steven Peterson © 2013 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 • All Rights Reserved
Incremental Net Present Value— Steps n Step 4: if: q q n If the rate of return in greater than the MARR the next alternative becomes the “current best alternative” If the rate of return is less than or equal to the MARR the “current best alternative” remains the “current best alternative” Step 5: Repeat Step 4 until alternatives have been considered Construction Accounting & Financial Management, 3/e Steven Peterson © 2013 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 • All Rights Reserved

Payback Period without Interest n How long does it take to recover initial costs? n Ignores: q q n Interest on the initial costs Salvage value If payback period without interest is longer than the life of the alternative, the alternative should be rejected Construction Accounting & Financial Management, 3/e Steven Peterson © 2013 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 • All Rights Reserved

Project Balance n Show: q q q n Potential profit or loss at any time Future worth, which is related to NPV Show payback period with interest Useful for: q q Risky alternatives Comparing alternatives with similar NPVs Construction Accounting & Financial Management, 3/e Steven Peterson © 2013 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 • All Rights Reserved
