Explain four problematic situations that will make determining incremental cash flows difficult.
The following are very difficult to determine
1. Sunk Cost: How to determine whether the cost is a sunk cost or the project itself started that time
2. Opportunity Cost: A land purchased few years ago can be rented or sold
3. Cannibalization or Complimentarity: The project eating into or benefiting other projects
4. Allocated Costs or Overheads: In case of shared resources how to allocate costs

When firms make capital budgeting decisions, they should concern themselves with incremental cash flows, not net income, when evaluating projects. To determine the incremental cash flows associated with a capital project, an analyst should include all of the following except: The project's financing costs The project's depreciation expense Changes in net working capital associated with the project The project's fixed-asset expenditures O Indirect cash flows often affect a firm's capital budgeting decisions. However, some of these indirect cash flows are...
