Corporate Finance: Three Major Decisions…
• Investment Appraisal (Capital Budgeting) – Which New Projects to invest in?
• Capital Structure (Financing Decision)- How to Finance the new projects – Debt or equity?
• Payout Policy – Dividends, Share Repurchases, Re-investment.
• => Objective: Maximisation of Shareholder Wealth.

Investment Appraisal.
• Objective: Take projects that increase shareholder wealth (Value-adding projects).
• Investment Appraisal Techniques: NPV, IRR, Payback, ARR, Real Options….
• Which one is the Best rule for shareholder wealth maximisation?

Connections in Corporate Finance.
Investment Appraisal: Net Present Value with discount rate (cost of capital) given. Positive NPV increases value of the firm.
Cost of Capital (discount rate): How do companies derive the cost of capital? – CAPM/APT.
Capital Structure and effect on Firm Value and WACC.

• Mutually Exclusive project: firm can only take one (take project with highest positive NPV).Independent project: firm can take as many as it likes (take all positive NPV projects).Consider slide 10: Which project(s) would you take, and what would be the value-added, if projects are a) mutually exclusive, and b) independent?
Mutually Exclusive Versus Independent Projects.

Investment Flexibility, Decision Trees, and Real Options
Decision Trees and Sensitivity Analysis.•Example: From Ross, Westerfield and Jaffe: “Corporate Finance”.
•New Project: Test and Development Phase: Investment $100m.
•0.75 chance of success.
•If successful, Company can invest in full scale production, Investment $1500m.
•Production will occur over next 5 years with the following cashflows.

Now move back to Stage 1.
Invest $100m now to get 75% chance of $1517m one year later?
Expected Payoff = 0.75 *1517 +0.25 *0 = 1138.
NPV of testing at date 0 = -100 + 15.1
1138 = $890
Therefore, the firm should test the project.
Sensitivity Analysis (What-if analysis or Bop analysis)
Examines sensitivity of NPV to changes in underlying assumptions (on revenue, costs and cashflows).

Scenario Analysis- Change several variables together.
Break - even analysis examines variability in forecasts.
It determines the number of sales required to break even.

Real Options
• A new investment appraisal method, analysed by academics in the 1980s
• Existing NPV method: static: one-off decision to take project or ‘throw it away’: once project is taken, committed to it.
• Real Options: recognises flexibility in decision-making.
![Page 23: 1 MN20211: Corporate Finance 2011/12: 1.Revision: Investment Appraisal (NPV). 2.Investment flexibility, Decision trees, Real Options. 3.Revision: Portfolio](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5515e07555034638038b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Real Options.
A digression: Financial Options
A call option gives the holder the right (but not the obligation) to buy shares at some time in the future at an exercise price agreed now.
A put option gives the holder the right (but not the obligation) to sell shares at some time in the future at an exercise price agreed now.
European Option – Exercised only at maturity date.
American Option – Can be exercised at any time up to maturity.
For simplicity, we focus on European Options.

Example:
• Today, you buy a call option on Marks and Spencer’s shares. The call option gives you the right (but not the obligation) to buy MS shares at exercise date (say 31/12/10) at an exercise price given now (say £10).
• At 31/12/10: MS share price becomes £12. Buy at £10: immediately sell at £12: profit £2.
• Or: MS shares become £8 at 31/12/10: rip option up!

Risk free hedge Portfolio: Buy One Share of Stock and write m call options.
uS - mCu = dS – mCd => 24 – 3m = 13.40.
M = 3.53.
By holding one share of stock, and selling 3.53 call options, your payoffs are the same in both states of nature (13.40): Risk free.

Since hedge portfolio is riskless:

1.1 ( 20 – 3.53C) = 13.40.
Therefore, C = 2.21.
This is the current price per call option. The total present value of investment = £12 .19, and the rate of return on investment is
13.40 / 12.19 = 1.1.

Alternative option-pricing method
• Black-Scholes
• Continuous Distribution of share returns (not binomial)
• Continuous time (rather than discrete time).

Real Options
• Just as financial options give the investor the right (but not obligation) to future share investment (flexibility)
• Researchers recognised that investing in projects can be considered as ‘options’ (flexibility).
• “Real Options”: Option to delay, option to expand, option to abandon.
• Real options: dynamic approach (in contrast to static NPV).
![Page 31: 1 MN20211: Corporate Finance 2011/12: 1.Revision: Investment Appraisal (NPV). 2.Investment flexibility, Decision trees, Real Options. 3.Revision: Portfolio](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5515e07555034638038b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Real Options
• Based on the insights, methods and valuation of financial options which give you the right to invest in shares at a later date
• RO: development of NPV to recognise corporation’s flexibility in investing in PROJECTS.
![Page 32: 1 MN20211: Corporate Finance 2011/12: 1.Revision: Investment Appraisal (NPV). 2.Investment flexibility, Decision trees, Real Options. 3.Revision: Portfolio](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5515e07555034638038b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Real Options.
• Real Options recognise flexibility in investment appraisal decision.
• Standard NPV: static; “now or never”.
• Real Option Approach: “Now or Later”.
• -Option to delay, option to expand, option to abandon.
• Analogy with financial options.

Types of Real Option
• Option to Delay (Timing Option).
• Option to Expand (eg R and D).
• Option to Abandon.

Value of a Real Option
• A Project’s Value-added = Standard NPV plus the Real Option Value.
• For given cashflows, standard NPV decreases with risk (why?).
• But Real Option Value increases with risk.
• R and D very risky: => Real Option element may be high.

Option to delay and Competition (Smit and Ankum).
•-Smit and Ankum present a binomial real option model:
•Option to delay increases value (wait to observe market demand)
•But delay invites product market competition: reduces value (lost monopoly advantage).
•cost: Lost cash flows
•Trade-off: when to exercise real option (ie when to delay and when to invest in project).
•Protecting Economic Rent: Innovation, barriers to entry, product differentiation, patents.
•Firm needs too identify extent of competitive advantage.

SECTION 2: Risk and Return/Portfolio Decision/ Cost Of Capital.
The cost of capital = investors’ required return on their investment in a company. It provides the appropriate discount rate in NPV.
Investors are risk averse.
Future share prices (and returns) are risky (volatile).
The higher the risk, the higher the required return.

Relationship between Investor Portfolio
Decision and Firm’s Cost of Capital
• Investors can diversify away all specific risk; therefore, should only be rewarded for holding each firm’s market risk => CAPM.
• CAPM provides the firm’s cost of equity.

Value of the Firm and Capital Structure
Value of the Firm = Value of Debt + Value of Equity = discounted value of future cashflows available to the providers of capital.
(where values refer to market values).
Capital Structure is the amount of debt and equity: It is the way a firm finances its investments.
Unlevered firm = all-equity.
Levered firm = Debt plus equity.
Miller-Modigliani said that it does not matter how you split the cake between debt and equity, the value of the firm is unchanged (Irrelevance Theorem).

Section 4: Optimal Capital Structure, Agency Costs, and Signalling.
Agency costs - manager’s self interested actions. Signalling - related to managerial type.
Debt and Equity can affect Firm Value because:
- Debt increases managers’ share of equity.
-Debt has threat of bankruptcy if manager shirks.
- Debt can reduce free cashflow.
But- Debt - excessive risk taking.

Other Agency Cost Reasons for Optimal Capital structure.
Debt - bankruptcy threat - manager increases effort level. (eg Hart, Dewatripont and Tirole).
Debt reduces free cashflow problem (eg Jensen 1986).

Agency Cost Models – continued.
Effort Level, Debt and bankruptcy (simple example).
Debtholders are hard- if not paid, firm becomes bankrupt, manager loses job- manager does not like this.
Equity holders are soft.

What is Optimal Capital Structure (Value Maximising)?
![Page 78: 1 MN20211: Corporate Finance 2011/12: 1.Revision: Investment Appraisal (NPV). 2.Investment flexibility, Decision trees, Real Options. 3.Revision: Portfolio](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5515e07555034638038b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
78
Firm needs to raise 200, using debt and equity.
Manager only cares about keeping his job. He has a fixed income, not affected by firm value.
a) If debt < 100, low effort. V = 100. Manager keeps job.
b) If debt > 100: low effort, V < D => bankruptcy. Manager loses job.
So, high effort level => V = 500 > D. No bankruptcy => Manager keeps job.
High level of debt => high firm value.
However: trade-off: may be costs of having high debt levels.

Free Cashflow Problem (Jensen 1986).
-Managers have (negative NPV) pet projects.
-Empire Building.
=> Firm Value reducing.
Free Cashflow- Cashflow in excess of that required to fund all NPV projects.
Jensen- benefit of debt in reducing free cashflow.
![Page 80: 1 MN20211: Corporate Finance 2011/12: 1.Revision: Investment Appraisal (NPV). 2.Investment flexibility, Decision trees, Real Options. 3.Revision: Portfolio](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5515e07555034638038b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)

Jensen’s evidence from the oil industry.
After 1973, oil industry generated large free cashflows.
Management wasted money on unnecessary R and D.
also started diversification programs outside the industry.
Evidence- McConnell and Muscerella (1986) – increases in R and D caused decreases in stock price.
Retrenchment- cancellation or delay of ongoing projects.
Empire building Management resists retrenchment.
Takeovers or threat => increase in debt => reduction in free cashflow => increased share price.

81
Jensen predicts:
young firms with lots of good (positive NPV) investment opportunities should have low debt, high free cashflow.
Old stagnant firms with only negative NPV projects should have high debt levels, low free cashflow.
Stultz (1990)- optimal level of debt => enough free cashflow for good projects, but not too much free cashflow for bad projects.

82
Income Rights and Control Rights.
Some researchers (Hart (1982) and (2001), Dewatripont and Tirole (1985)) recognised that securities allocate income rights and control rights.
Debtholders have a fixed first claim on the firm’s income, and have liquidation rights.
Equityholders are residual claimants, and have voting rights.
Class discussion paper: Hart (2001)- What is the optimal allocation of control and income rights between a single investor and a manager?
How effective are control rights when there are different types of investors?
Why do we observe different types of outside investors- what is the optimal contract?

Signalling Models of Capital Structure
Assymetric info: Akerlof’s (1970) Lemons Market.
Akerlof showed that, under assymetric info, only bad things may be traded.
His model- two car dealers: one good, one bad.
Market does not know which is which: 50/50 probability.
Good car (peach) is worth £2000. Bad car (lemon) is worth £1000.
Buyers only prepared to pay average price £1500.
But: Good seller not prepared to sell. Only bad car remains.
Price falls to £1000.
Myers-Majuf (1984) – “securities may be lemons too.”

Pecking Order Theory for Capital Structure => firms prefer to raise funds in this order:
Retained Earnings/ Debt/ Equity.

Evidence on Capital structure and firm value.
Debt Issued - Value Increases.
Equity Issued- Value falls.
However, difficult to analyse, as these capital structure changes may be accompanied by new investment.
More promising - Exchange offers or swaps.
Class discussion paper: Masulis (1980)- Highly significant Announcement effects:
+7.6% for leverage increasing exchange offers.
-5.4% for leverage decreasing exchange offers.

Capital Structure and Product Market Competition.
• Research has recognised that firms’ financial decisions and product market decisions not made in isolation.
• How does competition in the product market affect firms’ debt/equity decisions?
• Limited liability models: Debt softens competition: higher comp => higher debt.
• Predation models: higher competition leads to lower debt. (Why?)

Capital Structure and Takeovers
• Garvey and Hanka:
• Waves of takeovers in US in 1980’s/1990’s.
• Increase in hostile takeovers => increase in debt as a defensive mechanism.
• Decrease in hostile takeovers => decrease in debt as a defensive mechanism.

Early Approach.
• Three Schools of Thought-• Dividends are irrelevant (MM).• Dividends => increase in stock prices
(signalling/agency problems).• Dividends => decrease in Stock Prices (negative
signal: non +ve NPV projects left?).• 2 major hypotheses: Free-cash flow versus
signalling

Example
• A firm is expecting to provide dividends every year-end forever of £10. The cost of equity is 10%.
• We are at year-end, and div is about to be paid. Current market value of equity = 10/0.1 + 10 = £110
• Div is paid. Now, current market value is• V = 10/0.1 = £100.• So on…

Dividend Irrelevance (Miller-Modigliani)
• MM consider conditions under which dividends are irrelevant.
• Investors care about both dividends and capital gains.
• Perfect capital markets:-• No distorting taxes• No transactions costs.• No agency costs or assymetric info.
![Page 104: 1 MN20211: Corporate Finance 2011/12: 1.Revision: Investment Appraisal (NPV). 2.Investment flexibility, Decision trees, Real Options. 3.Revision: Portfolio](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5515e07555034638038b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
104
Dividend Irrelevance (MM): continued
• Intuition: Investors care about total return (dividends plus capital gains).
• Homemade leverage argument
• Source and application of funds argument => MM assumed an optimal investment schedule over time (ie firm invests in all +ve NPV projects each year).

Irrelevance of MM irrelevance (Deangelo and Deangelo)

Irrelevance of MM irrelevance (continued)
• Consider an all-equity firm that is expected to produce residual cashflows of £10 per year for 5 years.
• Cost of equity 10%.
• First scenario: firm pays no dividends for the first 4 years. Pays all of the cashflows as dividends in year 5.
• Now it is expected to pay none of the cashflows in any year: Vo = 0 !

Agency problems
• Conflicts between shareholders and debtholders: risk-shifting: high versus low dividends => high divs => credit rating of debt
• Conflicts between managers and shareholders: Jensen’s FCF, Easterbrook.

Are Dividends Irrelevant?
- Evidence: higher dividends => higher value.
- Dividend irrelevance : freely available capital for reinvestment. - If too much dividend, firm issued new shares.
- If capital not freely available, dividend policy may matter.
C. Dividend Signalling - Miller and Rock (1985).
NCF + NS = I + DIV: Source = Uses.
DIV - NS = NCF - I.
Right hand side = retained earnings. Left hand side - higher dividends can be covered by new shares.
![Page 124: 1 MN20211: Corporate Finance 2011/12: 1.Revision: Investment Appraisal (NPV). 2.Investment flexibility, Decision trees, Real Options. 3.Revision: Portfolio](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5515e07555034638038b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/124.jpg)

Competing Hypotheses.
• Dividend Signalling hypothesis Versus Free Cashflow hypothesis.
• Fuller and Thakor (2002; 2008): Consider asymmetric info model of 3 firms (good, medium, bad) that have negative NPV project available
• Divs used as a) a positive signal of income, and b) a commitment not to take –ve NPV project (Jensen’s FCF argument).
• Both signals in the same direction (both +ve)

Dividend/share repurchase irrelevance
• Misconception (among practitioners) that share repurchasing can ‘create’ value by spreading earnings over fewer shares (Kennon).
• Impossible in perfect world:
• Fairchild (JAF).

137
Dividend/share repurchase irrelevance (continued)
• Fairchild: JAF (2006):
• => popular practitioner’s website argues share repurchases can create value for non-tendering shareholders.
• Basic argument: existing cashflows/assets spread over fewer shares => P !!!
• Financial Alchemy !!!
![Page 138: 1 MN20211: Corporate Finance 2011/12: 1.Revision: Investment Appraisal (NPV). 2.Investment flexibility, Decision trees, Real Options. 3.Revision: Portfolio](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5515e07555034638038b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/138.jpg)

The Example:….
• Kennon (2005): Eggshell Candies Inc
• Mkt value of equity = $5,000,000.
• 100, 000 shares outstanding
• => Price per share = $50.
• Profit this year = £1,000,000.
• Mgt upset: same amount of candy sold this year as last: growth rate 0% !!!

139
Eggshell example (continued)
• Executives want to do something to make shareholders money after the disappointing operating performance:
• => One suggests a share buyback.
• The others immediately agree !
• Company will use this year’s £1,000,000 profit to but stock in itself.
![Page 140: 1 MN20211: Corporate Finance 2011/12: 1.Revision: Investment Appraisal (NPV). 2.Investment flexibility, Decision trees, Real Options. 3.Revision: Portfolio](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5515e07555034638038b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/140.jpg)
140
Eggshell example (continued)
• $1m dollars used to buy 20,000 shares (at $50 per share). Shares destroyed.
• => 80,000 shares remain.• Kennon argues that, instead of each share
being 0.001% (1/100,000) of the firm, it is now .00125% of the company (1/80)
• You wake up to find that P from $50 to $62.50. Magic!

141
Kennon quote
• “When a company reduces the amount of shares outstanding, each of your shares becomes more valuable and represents a greater % of equity in the company … It is possible that someday there may be only 5 shares of the company, each worth one million dollars.”
• Fallacy! CF: no such thing as a free lunch!

Cost of equity will not change: only way to increase value per share is to improve company’s operating performance, or invest in new positive NPV project. Repurchasing shares is a zero NPV proposition (in a PCM).

Long-term effects of repurchase
• See tables in paper:• Share value pre-repurchase = $5,000,000 each
year.• Share value-post repurchase each year =
$4,000,000• Since number of shares reducing, P .by 25%, but
this equals cost of equity.• And is same as investing in zero NPV project.

• In PCM, share repurchasing cannot increase share price (above a zero NPV investment) by merely spreading cashflows over smaller number of shares.
• Further, if passing up positive NPV to repurchase, not optimal!
• Asymmetric info: repurchases => positive signals.• Agency problems: FCF.• Market timing.• Capital structure motives.

Evidence.
• Mgrs think divs reveal more info than repurchases (see Graham and Harvey “Payout policy”.
• Mgrs smooth dividends/repurchases are volatile.
• Dividends paid out of permanent cashflow/repurchases out of temporary cashflow.

Motives for repurchases (Wansley et al, FM: 1989).
• Dividend substitution hypothesis.
• Tax motives.
• Capital structure motives.
• Free cash flow hypothesis.
• Signalling/price support.
• Timing.
• Catering.

Repurchase signalling.
• Price Support hypothesis: Repurchases signal undervaluation (as in dividends).
• But do repurchases provide the same signals as dividends?
![Page 152: 1 MN20211: Corporate Finance 2011/12: 1.Revision: Investment Appraisal (NPV). 2.Investment flexibility, Decision trees, Real Options. 3.Revision: Portfolio](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5515e07555034638038b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/152.jpg)
152
Repurchase signalling: (Chowdhury and Nanda Model: RFS 1994)
• Free-cash flow => distribution as commitment.
• Dividends have tax disadvantage.
• Repurchases lead to large price increase.
• So, firms use repurchases only when sufficient undervaluation.
![Page 153: 1 MN20211: Corporate Finance 2011/12: 1.Revision: Investment Appraisal (NPV). 2.Investment flexibility, Decision trees, Real Options. 3.Revision: Portfolio](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5515e07555034638038b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/153.jpg)

Open market Stock Repurchase Signalling:
McNally, 1999
• Signalling Model of OM repurchases.
• Effect on insiders’ utility.
• If do not repurchase, RA insiders exposed to more risk.
• => Repurchase signals:
• a) Higher earnings and higher risk,
• b) Higher equity stake => higher earnings.

Costless Versus Costly Signalling:Bhattacharya and Dittmar 2003
• Repurchase announcement is not commitment.
• Costly signal: Actual repurchase: separation of good and bad firm.
• Costless (cheap-talk): Announcement without repurchasing. Draws analysts’ attention.
• Only good firm will want this

Lecture 9: Venture Capital/private equity
• Venture capitalists typically supply start-up finance for new entrepreneurs.
• VC’s objective; help to develop the venture over 5 – 7 years, take the firm to IPO, and make large capital gains on their investment.
• In contrast, private equity firms invest in later stage public companies to take them private….

Private Equity.
• PE firms generally buy poorly performing publically listed firms.
• Take them private• Improve them (turn them around).• Hope to float them again for large gains• Our main focus in this course is venture capital,
But will look briefly at PE later.• “Theory of private equity turnarounds” plus PE
leverage article, plus economics of PE articles.

Venture capitalists
• Venture capitalists provide finance to start-up entrepreneurs
• New, innovative, risky, no track-record…• Hence, these Es have difficulty obtaining
finance from banks or stock market• VCs more than just investors• Provide ‘value-adding’ services/effort• Double-sided moral hazard
![Page 164: 1 MN20211: Corporate Finance 2011/12: 1.Revision: Investment Appraisal (NPV). 2.Investment flexibility, Decision trees, Real Options. 3.Revision: Portfolio](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5515e07555034638038b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/164.jpg)

Venture capital process
• Investment appraisal stage: seeking out good entrepreneurs/business plans: VC overconfidence?
• Financial contracting stage: negotiate over cashflow rights and control rights.
• Performance stage: both E and VC exert value-adding effort: double-sided moral hazard.
• Ex post hold-up/renegotiation stage? Double sided moral hazard
• => exit: IPO/trade sale => capital gains (IRR)

VC process (continued)
• VCs invest for 5-7 years.
• VCs invest in a portfolio of companies: anticipate that some will be highly successful, some will not

Optimal equity proposals.
• Found by substituting optimal efforts into payoffs and maximising.
• Depends on relative bargaining power, VC’s value-adding ability, and reputation effect.
• Eg; E may take all of the equity.
• VC may take half of the equity.

Fairness Norms and Self-interest in VC/E Contracting: A Behavioral Game-theoretic
Approach• Existing VC/E Financial Contracting Models
assume narrow self-interest.• Double-sided Agency problems (both E and VC
exert Value-adding Effort) (Casamatta JF 2003, Repullo and Suarez 2004, Fairchild JFR 2004).
• Procedural Justice Theory: Fairness and Trust important.
• No existing behavioral Game theoretic models of VC/E contracting.

My Model:
• VC/E Financial Contracting, combining double-sided Moral Hazard (VC and E shirking incentives) and fairness norms.
• 2 stages: VC and E negotiate financial contract.
• Then both exert value-adding efforts.

How to model fairness? Fairness Norms.
• Fair VCs and Es in society.
• self-interested VCs and Es in society.
• Matching process: one E emerges with a business plan. Approaches one VC at random for finance.
• Players cannot observe each other’s type.

Development of Behavioral Finance I.
• Standard Research in Finance: Assumption: Agents are rational self-interested utility maximisers.
• 1955: Herbert Simon: Bounded Rationality: Humans are not computer-like infinite information processors. Heuristics.
• Economics experiments: Humans are not totally self-interested.

Development III
• BF takes findings from psychology.
• Incorporates human biases into finance.
• Which psychological biases? Potentially infinite.
• Bounded rationality/bounded selfishness/bounded willpower.
• Bounded rationality/emotions/social factors.

Potential biases.
• Overconfidence/optimism • Regret.• Prospect Theory/loss aversion.• Representativeness.• Anchoring.• Gambler’s fallacy.• Availability bias.• Salience….. Etc, etc.

Eg: Disposition Effect:
Sell winners too quickly.
Hold losers too long.
Risk-averse in gains
Risk-seeking in losses

Overconfidence.
• Too much trading in capital markets.
• OC leads to losses?
• But : Kyle => OC traders out survive and outperform well-calibrated traders.
![Page 211: 1 MN20211: Corporate Finance 2011/12: 1.Revision: Investment Appraisal (NPV). 2.Investment flexibility, Decision trees, Real Options. 3.Revision: Portfolio](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5515e07555034638038b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/211.jpg)

Behavioral Corporate Finance.
• Much behavioral research in Financial Markets.
• Not so much in Behavioral CF.
• Relatively new: Behavioral CF and Investment Appraisal/Capital Budgeting/Dividend decisions.
![Page 212: 1 MN20211: Corporate Finance 2011/12: 1.Revision: Investment Appraisal (NPV). 2.Investment flexibility, Decision trees, Real Options. 3.Revision: Portfolio](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5515e07555034638038b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/212.jpg)
212
Forms of Irrationality.
a) Bounded Rationality (eg Mattson and Weibull 2002, Stein 1996).
- Limited information: Information processing has a cost of effort.
- Investors => internet bubble.
b) Behavioural effects of emotions:
-Prospect Theory (Kahneman and Tversky 1997).
- Regret Theory.
- Irrational Commitment to Bad Projects.
- Overconfidence.
C) Catering – investors like types of firms (eg high dividend).
![Page 213: 1 MN20211: Corporate Finance 2011/12: 1.Revision: Investment Appraisal (NPV). 2.Investment flexibility, Decision trees, Real Options. 3.Revision: Portfolio](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5515e07555034638038b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/213.jpg)
213
Bounded rationality (Mattson and Weibull 2002).
-Manager cannot guarantee good outcome with probability of 1.
-Fully rational => can solve a maximisation problem.
-Bounded rationality => implementation mistakes.
-Cost of reducing mistakes.
-Optimal for manager to make some mistakes!
-CEO, does not carefully prepare meetings, motivate and monitor staff => sub-optimal actions by firm.
![Page 214: 1 MN20211: Corporate Finance 2011/12: 1.Revision: Investment Appraisal (NPV). 2.Investment flexibility, Decision trees, Real Options. 3.Revision: Portfolio](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5515e07555034638038b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/214.jpg)
214
Regret theory and prospect theory (Harbaugh 2002).
-Risky decision involving skill and chance.
-manager’s reputation.
Prospect theory: People tend to favour low success probability projects than high success probability projects.
-Low chance of success: failure is common but little reputational damage.
-High chance of success: failure is rare, but more embarrassing.
Regret theory: Failure to take as gamble that wins is as embarrassing as taking a gamble that fails.
=> Prospect + regret theory => attraction for low probability gambles.

215
Irrational Commitment to bad project.
-Standard economic theory – sunk costs should be ignored.
-Therefore- failing project – abandon.
-But: mgrs tend to keep project going- in hope that it will improve.
-Especially if manager controlled initial investment decision.
-More likely to abandon if someone else took initial decision.
![Page 216: 1 MN20211: Corporate Finance 2011/12: 1.Revision: Investment Appraisal (NPV). 2.Investment flexibility, Decision trees, Real Options. 3.Revision: Portfolio](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5515e07555034638038b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/216.jpg)
216
Real Options and behavioral aspects of ability to revise (Joyce 2002).
-Real Options: Flexible project more valuable than an inflexible one.
-However, managers with an opportunity to revise were less satisfied than those with standard fixed NPV.
![Page 217: 1 MN20211: Corporate Finance 2011/12: 1.Revision: Investment Appraisal (NPV). 2.Investment flexibility, Decision trees, Real Options. 3.Revision: Portfolio](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5515e07555034638038b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/217.jpg)
217
Overconfidence and the Capital Structure (Heaton 2002).
-Optimistic manager overestimates good state probability.
-Combines Jensen’s free cashflow with Myers-Majluf Assymetric information.
-Jensen- free cashflow costly – mgrs take –ve NPV projects.
-Myers-Majluf- Free cashflow good – enables mgs to take +ve NPV projects.
-Heaton- Underinvestment-overinvestment trade-off without agency costs or asymmetric info.
![Page 218: 1 MN20211: Corporate Finance 2011/12: 1.Revision: Investment Appraisal (NPV). 2.Investment flexibility, Decision trees, Real Options. 3.Revision: Portfolio](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5515e07555034638038b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/218.jpg)
218
Heaton (continued).
-Mgr optimism – believes that market undervalues equity = Myers-Majluf problem of not taking +ve NPV projects => free cash flow good.
-But : mgr optimism => mgr overvalues the firms investment opportunities => mistakenly taking –ve NPV project => free cash flow bad.
-Prediction: shareholders prefer:
-Cashflow retention when firm has both high optimism and good investments.
- cash flow payouts when firm has high optimism and bad investments.

Rational capital budgeting in an irrational world. (Stein 1996).
-Manager rational, investors over-optimistic.
- share price solely determined by investors.
-How to set hurdle rates for capital budgeting decisions?
- adaptation of CAPM, depending on managerial aims.
- manager may want to maximise time 0 stock price (short-term).
-May want to maximise PV of firm’s future cash flows (long term rational view).

Effect of Managerial overconfidence, asymmetric Info, and moral hazard on Capital Structure Decisions.
Rational Corporate Finance.
-Capital Structure: moral hazard + asymmetric info.
-Debt reduces Moral Hazard Problems
-Debt signals quality.
Behavioral Corporate Finance.
-managerial biases: effects on investment and financing decisions
-Framing, regret theory, loss aversion, bounded rationality.
-OVERCONFIDENCE/OPTIMISM.

Overconfidence/optimism
• Optimism: upward bias in probability of good state.
• Overconfidence: underestimation of asset risk.
• My model =>
• Overconfidence: overestimation of ability.

222
Overconfidence: good or bad?
• Hackbarth (2002): debt decision: OC good.
• Goel and Thakor (2000): OC good: offsets mgr risk aversion.
• Gervais et al (2002), Heaton: investment appraisal, OC bad => negative NPV projects.
• Zacharakis: VC OC bad: wrong firms.

Overconfidence and Debt
• My model: OC => higher mgr’s effort (good).
• But OC bad, leads to excessive debt (see Shefrin), higher financial distress.
• Trade-off.
