Measuring Investments

Measuring Investment – (Returns Measurement)

First Principles

Ø  Invest in projects that yield a return greater than the minimum acceptable hurdle rate.

Ø  The hurdle rate should be higher for riskier projects and reflect the financing mix used - owners’ funds (equity) or borrowed money (debt)

Ø  Returns on projects should be measured based on cash flows generated and the timing of these cash flows; they should also consider both positive and negative side effects of these projects.

Ø  Choose a financing mix that minimizes the hurdle rate and matches the assets being financed.

Ø  The form of returns - dividends and stock buybacks - will depend upon the stockholders’ characteristics.
