Definitions of terms:
CAPITAL BUDGETING - also known as Capital Expenditure Planning, deals with the
allocation of capital among alternative investment opportunities.
Two types of investment decisions:
a.
b.
PAYBACK PERIOD - is the length of time requires recovering the initial investment from the
incremental cash benefitss after tax. The conventional payback period does not consider the time
value of money while the discounted payback period gives due allowance for the time value of
money.
ACCOUNTING RATE OF RETURN - is defined as the average annual net income from the project
divided by the average (or initial) investment in the project. The net income is net of depreciation
and income taxes.
NET PRESENT VALUE - the present value of the future net cash inflow from the project minus
the initial investment. This is the presedsnt value of the net cash inflows (outflows) discounted at
a specified interest rate.
TIME - ADJUSTED RATE OF RETURN (Internal or Discounted Rate of Return) - This is the rate
of interest which would make the present value of the future cash flows from the project equal to
the initial investment.
PROFITABILITY INDEX - it is computed by dividing the present value of cash flows by the initial
investment. Profitability index is used in comparing the net present values of different projects to
make the comparison more meaningful.
OPPORTUNITY COST - it is the foregone benefits that could be derived from other possible
alternatives by choosing another alternative.
Accounting Rate of Return - Average Annual Net Income of Project (Net of Tax) divided by
Average ( or Initial ) Investment in the project
or ARR

EXAMPLE PROBLEM 2:
The Hatton Company is planning to spend P60,000 for a machine which will be depreciated
on a straight-line basis over ten-year period. The machine will generate additional cash revenues
of P12,000 a year. Hatton will incur additional costs except for depreciation. The income tax rate
is 35%.

EXAMPLE PROBLEM 3:
Mayweather Company acquired an asset at a cost of P46,600. It had an estimated life of ten
years. Annual after tax cash benefits are estimated at P10,000 at the end of each year. The
following amounts appear in the interest table for the present value of an annuity of P1 at year-end
for ten years:
16% - 4.83
18% - 4.49
20% - 4.19
REQUIRED:
Determine the maximum interest rate (time-adjusted rate of return) that could be paid for the
capital employed over the life of this asset without loss, on this project.
4.66
Step 2 - Determine the Exact (true) Time-adjusted Rate of Return by interpolation since 4.66 is
between 16% and 18%. Pick the high factor at 16% as base.

EXAMPLE PROBLEM 4:
Cotley Company is considering to buy a new machine which cost P50,000. It will be a
labor saving investment which will reduce payroll by P13,500 per year. Its useful life is 8 years
and will have a zero salvage value. A minimum desired rate of return of 48% is used for capital
investment decisions. Information on present value factors is as follows:
Present value of P1 for 8 years at 18%
Present value of annuity of P1 for 8 periods

P
55,053

Note: The present value of an annuity of P1 for 8 periods is used because the cash flows
(savings) per year are assumed to be uniform for 8 years.
DECISION RULE:
Accept the investment proposal if NPV is positive or zero and reject if NPV is negative.

EXAMPLE PROBLEM 5:
The Cotto Company is considering the replacement of Machine A with Machine B that will
cost P160,000 and will result in annual savings of P40,000 before income taxes because of the
expected increase in operating efficiency. Machine B has an estimated useful life of 10 years
and salvage value of P10,000. Machine A has a book value of P16,000 ands a disposal value of
P20,000 now. Straight-line depreciation is used and the company has an average income tax
rate of 35%. The minimum desired rate of return on this investment is 20%. The present value
of an ordinary annuity of P1 in arrears for 10 periods at 20% is 4.192. The present value of P1 for
10 periods at 20% is 0.162.
