In case of Investments in projects there are some principles that will be taken into account, especially

  1. The concept of incremental cash flows To evaluate a project, we will consider the cash flows driven by the project; for instance, if the project will use available staff (that wouldn´t be dismissed in the absence of the project) this cost shouldn´t be included in the project; by contrast, if the project sales produce a reduction in the sales of another product this side effect should be accounted for.
  2. The role of sunk costs A sunk cost is an item generated by the project, independently of the decision of moving forward with it or not; a classical example are the costs associated with several studies conducted in the project analysis (market research, product conception, etc.) that will always be incurred by the firm whatever final decision regarding the project; in these cases, the associated (sunk) costs shouldn´t be included in the project evaluation.
  3. The finite life the project will run for a given period. The more common criteria to establish this time horizon is the economic life of the major component of the investment, but other criteria may be used according to the project’s characteristics (for instance, a concession period).
  4. Asset disposals assuming that the project has a finite life, the sale of assets and realization of working capital balances will have to occur at the end of the project, being its final cash flows. The value of the sale of assets should, though, be estimated. Usually, and adopting a conservative view, assets disposals will be carried out in the year after the last operating cash flow occurs (or operational activity is completed.
  5. Nominal vs. real prices Project data can be prepared assuming a zero inflation (real prices) or considering a given scenario for the evolution of prices (and their impact in the project outputs and inputs); the latter is more common, while the former is more used in projects developed in countries with high and especially unpredictable inflation. The real prices approach creates an additional difficulty in the valuation process regarding the calculation of the discount rate: this needs to be established taking into account the theoretical zero inflation scenarios.
