  1. Chapter 8 Nonfinancial Investments 1
  2. Chapter Goals  Make better choices by recognizing that household assets and investment planning is broader than believed.  Differentiate a typical household cost from a capital expenditure.  Become more effective in decision making by employing TPM, the household’s all-asset approach.  Benefit from linking household outlays on durable goods with business capital expenditures. 2
  3. Chapter Goals, cont.  Apply the methods of calculating returns on capital expenditures.  Establish the advantages of owning a home.  Determine whether to buy or lease a home or car.  Utilize the knowledge that your salary is often your largest household asset. 3
  4. Defining and Detailing Nonfinancial Assets  Financial assets: Assets in which ownership is represented and traded solely through pieces of paper.  Fully marketable assets: Assets that can be sold currently in a public forum for fair value at low transaction costs.  Nonfinancial assets: All the other assets that the household possesses.  Nonfinancial assets include real assets, human- related assets, and other assets. 4
  5. Defining and Detailing Nonfinancial Assets, cont.  Real assets: Nonfinancial assets that you can see or touch that have market value.  Sometimes real assets are called tangible assets, physical assets, or hard assets.  Real assets can be separated into real estate and durable goods.  Aside from their physical features, real assets differ from financial ones in that real assets generally decline in value over time, with the exception being the home, which, if maintained properly, can appreciate, at least for a relatively long time.  Real assets are generally used in the household currently while financial assets may be reserved for 5 future use.
  6. Defining and Detailing Nonfinancial Assets, cont.  Human-related assets: Assets that derive their value from particular people.  In personal finance we are principally concerned with assets in this category that generate income.  People generate income directly through their work efforts, through corporate and government pensions, or through anticipated gifts and bequests.  Human related assets are sometimes called intangible assets.  Other assets is a catch-all category that includes any other assets of worth. 6

  9. Household Finance and Total Portfolio Management  Household finance looks at the household as one enterprise that resembles a business.  Each of its operations can require investments that can be evaluated from three perspectives. 1. Individual Asset Basis: When looked at by itself, is this asset attractive? 2. Within Activity Basis: How does this proposed expenditure compare with current or future alternatives within the same activity? 3. Fully Integrated Basis: Decisions are not made on a per asset or per activity basis but on an overall household basis. 9
  10. Household Finance and Total Portfolio Management, cont.  Under the fully integrated basis, we perceive that each activity has assets that benefit the household.  These assets can be grouped into financial and nonfinancial categories that form a portfolio of assets, the household portfolio.  The process of developing and maintaining an efficient combination of assets is designated Total Portfolio Management (TPM).  TPM allows us to identify which assets to place in the household portfolio and how to weigh them.  TPM incorporates both risk and return, and sometimes correlations. 10
  11. Making Capital Expenditures Decisions  Capital expenditures: Outlays that provide benefits over an extended period of time.  Capital expenditure is the term used for outlays for real or human-related assets only.  The benefits of capital expenditure may be greater revenues, lower cash cost, less time to produce a desired result, or an immediate increase in satisfaction.  When faced with a variety of capital expenditure alternatives, we decide which to fund using the business capital budgeting techniques, such as Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). 11
  12. The Capital Expenditure Process  Review Goals: It is important to place our nonfinancial investments in the context of our overall goals.  Establish Required Rate of Return: Our capital outlays must reach a required rate of return for all projects, based on market figures for savings and investing in financial assets.  Identify Potential Projects.  Evaluate Projects: We evaluate the projects using the costs and returns for each project. We calculate returns using IRR or NPV. 12
  13. The Capital Expenditure Process, cont.  Rank All Projects: We rank within activity, within category, and Total Portfolio. Risk and correlations should be taken into account.  Establish Overall Capital Availability: Taking into account all factors, the amount of capital to be made available is established.  Select and Invest in Final Projects: Some projects are eliminated; others are brought up at a future time as attractiveness and financial resources change. 13
  14. Net Present Value (NPV)  Net Present Value (NPV): The present value of all projected future cash inflows and outflows.  We calculate NPV by discounting all cash flows back to the present at an appropriate discount rate.  This discount rate, designated the required rate of return, is generally equal to the return that can be earned on marketable securities with similar risk characteristics.  If NPV is positive the capital expenditure is preferable to a marketable investment. If NPV is negative, we have not earned the required return and the proposed expenditure is rejected. 14

  17. Net Present Value (NPV), cont.  To rank investments in terms of attractiveness we can use the profitability index (PI). NPV Original Cost  Any savings in the opportunity cost of time should be included in calculating the additional cost or benefits for household expenditures as this time used potentially could be employed in developing additional cash flows.  We assign a cash flow figure to the cost of time based on the hourly wage rate that could be received 17 if the time was spent working.
  18. Internal Rate of Return (IRR)  The Internal Rate of Return (IRR): The rate of return that makes the present value of cash inflows equal to that of cash outflows.  The IRR is the discount rate that makes NPV equal to 0.  We compare the IRR with our required rate of return, the return we could get on marketable securities with the same risk.  If the IRR is greater than the required rate of return, we accept it. If it isn’t, we reject the proposed capital outlay. 18

  20. Comparison of IRR and NPV Methods  NPV is the purer, more accurate method.  However, since IRR is expressed in percentage return terms, it can be easier to understand and relate to.  Moreover, an IRR can compare returns for expenditures of different amounts and time frames.  A major difference in approach is that NPV assumes that cash flows from projects are invested at the required rate of return while IRR assumes they are reinvested at the rate of return of that particular project.  IRR also gives multiple answers under some 20 circumstances.
