Part A: Multiple Choice
Some important points should be noted:
a. Lecture 6: Capital Budgeting
Incremental cash flow (those cash flows that will only occur if the
project is accepted) should :include
the Investment in Working Capital
Shutdown Cash Flows
Allocated Overhead Costs
opportunity cost (cost of giving up the second best use of
resources)
Indirect Effects (side effects):
Erosion (new project reduces sales and cash flows of
existing projects)
Synergy (new project increases sales and cash flows of
existing projects)
Incremental cash flow should :exclude
sunk cost (a cost that has already occurred regardless of whether
the project is accepted).
Cash flows # profits & losses
Net cash flow = Cash Inflow - Cash Outflow
b. Lecture 7: Risk - Return
The risk - free security:
Beta - (a measure of the volatility or systematic risk of a security
β
or portfolio compared to the market as a whole) = 0,
no systematic risk
There are two types of risk: unsystematic risk and systematic risk -

d. Lecture 4: Stock valuation
Stock valuation: recall that the price of any asset is the present value of the
cash flows generated by that asset in the future. In the case of stock, the
future cash flows generated are the dividends and/or the price of that stock
sold in the future. Or the price of the house is the present value of cash
flows like rent generated by that house every year and the selling price of
the house at the end.

Problem 1: Capital Budgeting
1. A project generates revenues of $600, expenses of $300, and depreciation charges of
$200 in a particular year. The firm’s tax bracket is 35%. Find the operating cash flow of
the project.
Answer:
The tax rate is T = 35%. Taxes paid will be
𝑇 * (𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑒 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒𝑠 𝑑𝑒𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛) = 35% * (600 300 200) = $35
Ms. Tran Thi Hoang Vi Corporate Finance Class
Operating cash flow can be calculated as follows.
a. (𝑅𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑒 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒𝑠 𝑡𝑎𝑥𝑒𝑠) = 600 300 35 = $265
b. 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑖𝑡 + 𝑑𝑒𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 = (600 300 200 35) + 200 = $265
c. (𝑅𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑒𝑠 𝑐𝑎𝑠ℎ 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒𝑠) * (1 𝑡𝑎𝑥 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒) + (𝑑𝑒𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 * 𝑡𝑎𝑥 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒)
= (600 300) * (1 35%) + (200 * 35%) = 265
2. A regional supermarket chain is deciding whether to install a Tewgit machine in each of
its stores. Each machine costs $750,000, depreciated $150,000 each year .
Company supposes to use the machine for 5 years then sell it at the end of year 5 for
800,000 dollars.
This 5 year project has annual sales of $500,000 and operating cash expenses of
$200,000. The required rate of return is 15%, and the tax rate is 20%.
Required:
Evaluate the project using NPV, IRR.
Answer:
Remember, discount cash flows, not profits.

Problem 1: Capital Budgeting
1. A project generates revenues of $600, expenses of $300, and depreciation charges of
$200 in a particular year. The firm’s tax bracket is 35%. Find the operating cash flow of the project. Answer:
The tax rate is T = 35%. Taxes paid will be
𝑇 * (𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑒 − 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒𝑠 − 𝑑𝑒𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛) = 35% * (600 − 300 − 200) = $35 Ms. Tran Thi Hoang Vi Corporate Finance Class
Operating cash flow can be calculated as follows.
a. (𝑅𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑒 − 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒𝑠 − 𝑡𝑎𝑥𝑒𝑠) = 600 − 300 − 35 = $265
b. 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑖𝑡 + 𝑑𝑒𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 = (600 − 300 − 200 − 35) + 200 = $265 c.
(𝑅𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑒𝑠 − 𝑐𝑎𝑠ℎ 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒𝑠) * (1 − 𝑡𝑎𝑥 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒) + (𝑑𝑒𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 * 𝑡𝑎𝑥 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒)
= (600 − 300) * (1 − 35%) + (200 * 35%) = 265

2. What is the expected return for stock VNM if it has a beta of 0.8, the expected market return is
15 percent and the expected risk – free rate is 2 percent? Answer:
Using CAPM model as the following to answer:
𝑅 = 𝑅 + (𝑅 − 𝑅 ) * β 𝑒 𝑓 𝑀 𝑓 In which:
𝑅 : expected rate of return of stock = ? 𝑒
𝑅 : rate of return of risk - free security = 2% 𝑓
𝑅 : expected rate of return of market = 15% 𝑀
(𝑅 − 𝑅 : market risk premium = 15% - 2% = 13% ) 𝑀 𝑓 Beta - β = 0.8 =>
𝑅 = 𝑅 + (𝑅 − 𝑅 ) * β = 2% + 13% * 0. 8 = 12. 4% 𝑒 𝑓 𝑀 𝑓
