He has created a report that will go to the board of directors monthly. This will give an NPV estimation to the cash flows produced and expected by each investment, and CFO plans to use this as a signaling device on the performance of all investments. This, he claims, will introduce rigour into the whole use of capital process. The Chairman ventured the opinion that this approach was a receipt for disaster.

That is, when the economy does well, so too do airlines. Inrecent years, the airline industry has found itself with too many seats and too few passengers.

Several airlines such as Continental, America West, Eastern, andTrans World Airlines, have filed for Chapter 11Bankruptcy. Some have fully recovered, while others havebeen forced to liquidate (Chapter7). Narrowing profit margins have prompted airlines to develop creativesurvival tactics.

Most firms generate cash inflows every day, not just once at the end of the year. In capital budgeting, should we recognize this fact by estimating daily project cash flows and then using them in the analysis? If we do not, are our results biased? If so, would the NPV be biased up or down? Explain.arrow_forward
