3.7 / Notation and Cash Flow Diagrams /Tables 75 A= $2524 _| 2 3 4=N = 10% per year FIGURE 3-3 Cash Flow Diagram for Plan 3 of Table 3-1 (Lender's Viewpoint) P= $8,000 The cash flow diagram employs several conventions: The horizontal line is a time scale, with progression of time moving from left to right. The period (e.g., year, quarter, month) labels can be applied to intervals of time rather than to points on the time scale. Note, for example, that the end of Period 2 is coincident with the beginning of Period 3. When the end-of-period cash flow convention is used, period numbers are placed at the end of each time interval as illustrated in Figures 3-2 and 3-3. The arrows signify cash flows and are placed at the end of the period. If a distinction needs to be made, downward arrows represent expenses (negative cast flows or cash outflows) and upward arrows represent receipts (positive cash Hows or cash inflows). 3. The.cash How diagram is dependent on the point of view. For example, the Situations shown in Figures 3-2 and 4-4 were based on cash flow as seen by the ‘ender. If the directions of all arrows had been reversed, the problem would have been diagramme: the borrower's viewpoint. 7 EXAMPLE 3-1 Before evaluating the economic merits of a proposed investment, the XYZ Corpo- | ration insists that its engineers develop a cash flow diagram of the proposal. An | investment of $10,000 can be made that will produce uniform annual revenue of | | ¥ $5,310 for five years and then have a market (recovery) value of $2,0( df of year five. Annual expenses wil 000 at the end of each year for operating | and maintaining the project. Draw a cash flow diagram for the five-year life of the projéct. Use the corporation’s viewpoint. SOLUTION As shown in Figure 3-4, the initial investment of $10,000 and annual expenses of $3,000 are cash outflows, while annual revenues and the market value are cash inflows. Notice that the beginning of a given year is the end of the preceding year. For example, the beginning of year two is the end of year one. Example 3-2 presents a situation in which cash flows are represented in tabular form to facilitate the analysis of plans/designs. @ scanned with OKEN Scanner G7 76 FIGURE 3.4 CHAPTER 3 / MoNey~Time RELATIONSHIPS AND EQUIVALENCE $5310 $5310 $5,310 $5310 $5310 $3,000 $3,000 $3,000 $3,000 $3,600 Years 10,000 Cash Flow Diagram for Example 3-1 EXAMPLE 3-2 In a company's renovation of a small office building, two feasible alternatives {ot upgrading the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system have been identified. Bither Alternative A or Altemative B muse be implemented. The costs are ‘ Alternative A Rebuild (overhaul) the existing HVAC system + Equipment, labor, and materials to upgrade... $18,000 + Annual cost of electricity... vores 32,000 * Annual maintenance expenses... eee 100 Alternative B_ Install a new HVAC system that utilizes existing ductwork * Equipment, labor, and materials to install. 560,000 * Annual cost of electricity... 9,000 * Annual maintenance expenses. : E 16,000 * Replacement of a major component 4 years hence. 9400 Atthe end of eight ‘Years, the estimated market value for Alternative A is $2,000, and for Alternative B it is $8,000. Assur me that both alternatives will provide mapharable service (comfort) over an eightsyear time period, and assume that the major component teplaced in. Alternative B will have no market value at the end of Year eight. (1) Use a cash flow table and end-of-year convention to tabulate the ret £28h flows for both alternatives. 2) Determine ae annual n between the alternatives (l ‘et cash flow difference B~ A). (3) Compute the cumul the end of year eight. (Th lative difference through © cumulative difference is the sum of differences, B - A, from year zero through year eight) Soturion The cash flow table (company’s viewpoint) for this exai imple is shown in Table 3-2 Based on these results, several points can be made (1) doing nothing is not an option—either A or B must be selected; (2) even though positive and negative cash flows are included in the table, on balance we are investigating two “cost-only” alternatives; (3) a decision between the two alternatives can be made just as easily @ scanned with OKEN Scanner 7 native A Alternative B Difference cr astcash FLOW Net Cash Flow (BA) me $ 18,000 60,000 12000 =" 34400 25,000 32,600 = hoo ~ 25,000 9,400 = B20) = 34400 - 25,000 9,400 = 13,800 = 34400 = 25,000 - 9,400 0 ~ 13,800 = Hho - 25,000 9400 ~ 4400 = 3400 — 2,000 9400 5,000 = 400 = 25,000 9400 14400 = 3400 + 2,000 25,000-+ 8,000 15,400 29,800 $291,200 $261,400 IZ2235 is5 on the difirence in cashflows (i, 0” the avoidable difference) as it can on the ae tone net cash flows for Alternatives A and B; (4) Alternative B has cash flows identical to those of Alternative A except for the differences shown in the table, so if the avoidable difference can “pay its own way,” Alternative B is the verotamended choice; (6) cash flow changes caused by inflation or other suspected Fnfluences could have easily been inserted into the table and included in the analysis; and (6) it takes six years for the extra $42,000 investment in Alternative B to generate sufficient cumulative savings in annual expenses to justify the higher investment (this ignores the time value of money). So, which. alternative is better? Weill be able to answer this question later when we consider the time value of money in order to recommend choices between alternatives. hs It should be apparent that a cash flow table clarifies the timing 6f cash flows, the assumptions that are being made, and the data that are available. A cash flow table is often useful when the complexity of a situation makes it difficult to show all cash flow amounts on a diagram. xl Jopment and illustration assessing the economic les 3-1 and 3-2 , The remainder of Chapter 3 deals with the devel of equivalence (time value of money) principles for activeness of investments such as those proposed in Examp] Tae ‘ewpoint: In most examples presented in this chapter, the company’s investor's) e “ewpoint will be taken 2 ginba Bead Lip, 7 D> i Interest Formul oo : las Relating P1 it setergegmaiea ater So lows ~ Oy SCRBL Figure 3.5 2 a future coe cash flow diagram involving-a presént Sing é am, im, F, separated by N periods with interest at *% per period. @ scanned with OKEN Scanner «ce 7s cnapren 3.

In this problem, N = 21 and = 17. [tis often helpful to use a subscript with P ot F to denote the respective point in time.

This section provides two examples involving two oor more equivalence calculations to solve for an unknown quantity. End-of-year cash flow convention is used. Again, the interest rate is constant over the N time periods. KK EXAMPLE 3-11 igure +11 depicts an example problem with a series of year-end cash flows | extending over eight years. The amounts are $100 for the first year, $200 for | the second year, $500 for the third year, and $400 for each year from the fourth through the eighth. These could represent something like the expected maintenance expenditures for a certain piece of equipment or payments into a fund. Note that the payments are shown at the end of each year, whichis a standard assumption (convention) for this book and for economic analyses in general unless one has information to the contrary. It is desired to find the (a) present equivalent expenditure, Pr; (b) future equivalent expenditure, Fs; and (c) annual equivalent expenditure, A, of these cash flows ifthe annual interest rate is 20%, SOLUTION (a) To find the equivalent Pp, one needs to sum the equivalent values of all payments sof the beginning of the first year (time zero). The required movements of money through time are shown graphically in Figure 3-11a. Py = Fi(P/F, 20%, 1) = $100(0.8333) =$ 83.33 + Fy(P/F,20%, 2) + $200(0.6944) + 138.88 + Fs(P/F, 20%, 3) + $500(0.5787) + 289.35 +A(P/A,20%,5) x (P/F, 20%,3) + $400(2.9900) x (0.5787) + 692.26 $1,203.82 (0) To find the equivalent Fs, one can sum the equivalent values of all payments as of the end of the eighth year (time eight). Figure 3-11b indicates these movements of money through time. However, since the equivalent Po is already known to be $1,203,82, one can calculate directly Fg = Po(F/P,20%,8) = $1,203.82(4.2998) = $5,176.19 (c) The equivalent A of the irregular cash flows can be calculated directly from either Po or Fy as follows: A = Po(A/P, 20%, 8) = $1,203.82(0.2606) = $313.73 or A = Fe(A/F,20%,8) = $5,176.19(0.0606) = $313.73 The computation of A from Pp and Fs is shown in.

Thus, one finds that the irregular series of payments shown in Figure 3-11 is equivalent to $1,203.82 at | time zero, $5,176.19 at time eight, or a uniform series of $313.73 at the end of each | of the eight years, ! @ scanned with OKEN Scanner 3.12 J Equivalence Calculations Involving Multiple Interest Formulas 93 @ ry $100 be (PM, 20% 1) $200 _— x16, 20%, 2) ——an er po Y Py= $1,208.82 z ee 7 ws = $400 $400 $400 $400 400 $500 oo x X(E/A, 20%, 5) 3 = 85,176.19 © A x(AP, Or) ee x (AFF, 20%, 8) ee i Fg (Grom b) (from a) FIGURE 3-11 Example 3-11 for Calculating the Equivalent P, F, and A Values * EXAMPLE 3-12 Transform the cash flows on the left-hand side of Figure 3-12 to their equivalent cash flows on the right-hand side.

Interest Formulas Relating a Uniform Gradient of Cash Flows to its Annual and Present Equivalents Some problems involve receipts or expenses that are projected to increase or decrease by a uniform amount each period, thus constituting an arithmetic sequence of cash flows. For example, because of leasing a certain type of equipment, maintenance and repair savings relative to purchasing the equipment may increase by a roughly constant amount each period. This situation can be modeled with a uniform gradient. Figure 3-14 is a cash flow diagram of a sequence of end-of-period cash flows increasing by a constant amount, G, in each period. The G is known as the uniform gradient amount.

There may be an A amount at the end of period one, but it is tr ated separal tely, ee isuated in Examples 3-13 and 3-16. A major advantage of using gradient conversion factors (.e., computational time savings) is realized when N becomes large. EXAMPLE 3-14 As an example of the straightforward use of the gradient conversion factors, suppose that certain end-of-year cash flows are expected to be $1,000 for the second year, $2,000 for the third year, and $3,000 for the fourth year, and that if interest is 15% per year, it is desired to find the (a) present equivalent value at the beginning of the first year, and (b) uniform annual equivalent value at the end of each of the four years.” SOLUTION Observe that this schedule of cash flows fits the model of the arithmetic gradient formulas with G = $1,000 and N = 4 (see Figure 3-14). Note that there is no cash flow at the end of the first period. (a) The present equivalent can be calculated as Py = G(P/G, 15%,4) = $1,000(3.79) = $3,790 (b) The annual equivalent can be calculated from Equation 3-22 as A = G(A/G, 15%,4) = $1,000(1.3263) = $1,326.30 Of course, once Py is known, the value of A can be calculated as A = Po(A/P. 15%, 4) = $3,790(0.3503) = $1,326.30 etic gradient formulas, suppose that one has cash flows as follows: EndofYear___ Cash Flows (S) 1 5,000 2 6,000 3 ~7, 000 4 8,000 y @ scanned with OKEN Scanner 3.43 / Relatin, ga Uni a Horm Gradient of Cash Flows to Ite Annual and Present Equivalents 99 and that one wis Pate alent ati = 15% per year using Sriten y ca alent ati ery s to calculate their present equ interest formulas SOLUTION Aue schedule of cash flows is depicted in the top di fom two diagrams of Figure 3-15 show how the original schedule can be broken into two separate sets of cash flows, a uniform series of $5,000 payments, plus an arithmetic gradient payment of $1,000 that fits the general gradient model for which factors are tabled.

This difference would be even greater for higher interest rates and gradient amounts and exemplifies the marked effect of timing of cash flows on equivalent values. It is also helpful to observe that the sign of G corresponds to the general slope of the cash flows over time.

It is becoming common to see interest-rate “escalation riders” on some types of loans. Example 3-19 demonstrates how this situation is treated. EXAMPLE 3.19 A person has made‘an arrangement to borrow $1,000 now and another $1,000 two years hence. The entire obligation is to be repaid at the end of four years. If the Projected interest rates in years one, two, three, and four are 10%, 12%, 12%, and 14%, respectively, how much will be repaid as a lump-sum amount at the end of four years? SOLUTION This problem can be solved by compounding the amount owed at the beginning of each year by the interest rate that applies to each individual year and repeating this process over the four years to obiain the total future equivalent value: F, = $1,000(F/P, 10%,1) = $1,100 F, = $1,100(F/P, 12% 1) = $1,232 Fs = ($1,232 + $1,000)(F/P, 12%, 1) = $2,500 Fy = $2,500(F/P, 14%,1) = $2,850 ‘To obtain the present equivalent of a series of future cash flows subject to varying interest rates, a procedure similar to the preceding one would be utilized with a sequence of (P/F, ic%, ) factors.
