CAPITAL BUDGETING PROCESS IN BMTC
1.1 INTRODUCTION

This study is carried out at the Bangalore metropolitan transport corporation (BMTC), which
serves public by government of Karnataka. It is a government agency that operates the public
transport bus service in Bangalore. The Bangalore metropolitan transport corporation (BMTC) is
presenting their capital budgeting process with a capital budgeting decision. One of its first tasks
is to determine. Whether or not the project will prove to be profitable, the Net Present Value
(NPV), Internal rate of return (IRR), and Payback period (PBP). These methods are the most
common approaches to the preparing a capital budgeting plan.

“Finance is the art and science of managing money. For all activities is necessary, all individuals
and business organization earns or rise money and spend or invest money. Hence, the field is
board. It is the life blood and nerve system of any business organization. Just a circulation of
blood is necessary in the human body to maintain life. Finance is very essential to the business
organization for smooth running of the business.

The definition of finance is the provision of funds or loan supplied to an individual or company.
Often this term is used for the study of economics and how money is controlled. It can also be
defined as the management of funds and capital required by a business and private activities.
Management of finance has also developed into a specialized branch within the financial sector
is carried out by finance managers.

1.1 Meaning of finance management

Finance management is the subject which deals with the financial activities like careful selection
of the source of capital of low cost and judicious use of capital in order to enable a cash
management unit to in the direction of reaching its goals.

1.3 Types of finance

There are mainly two types of finance

1. Personal finance

In the finance decisions may involve paying for education, financing durable goods such as real
estate and cars, buying insurance e.g. Health and property insurance investing and saving for
retirement. Personal financial decisions may also involve paying for loan, or debit obligations.

2. Corporate finance

It is the task of providing the funds for a corporation’s activities corporate finance can easily
categorize in two categories. First one is short term finance which generally involves
balancing risk and profitability, which attempting to maximize an entity’s wealth and the
value of its stock.

1.4 Scope of finance

In the past, a finance function was confined to procurement of funds. The major issue in the
traditional approach to finance function was how resources would best be raised from
combinations of available sources. Therefore, the finance managers, those were exploded to have
through knowledge on their inter related aspects of rising and administrating resources from
outside.

They were:-

 Financial institutional setup and their functions in their capital market.


 Financial instruments used to fund rising.
 Legal and accounting legal aspects.

BISHOP COTTON WOMENS CHRISTIAN COLLEGE Page 3


CAPITAL BUDGETING PROCESS IN BMTC
This approach is narrow in its scope and suffers from several weaknesses. It takes an outside or
supplier view of finance as the emphasis was a fund rising and in the process it ignores firm’s
financial decision making process. It has adopted a long term view of requirements and has not
shown interest in short tern finance. Other aspects of finance discipline in those days were the
focus given on mergers, reorganization and amalgamation etc but it did not consider day to day
issues.

Finance function has undergone significant changes in the recent time. In the modern approach
the scope of finance is wide. It encourages in its scope such as issue as allocation of funds,
financial planning and control, investment funds, besides the functions of acquisitions of funds.

1.5 Financial functions

The important functions are as follows

 Investment decision
It is the most important function. The allocation of capital to various investment proposal
needs to be evaluated involves risk it should evaluate all alternative proposals in the
preparation of capital budgeting.
 Financing
It is the process of acquiring the needed fund when it is needed by the organization at low
cost and at the right time. Identifying both the short requirement and the institutions
through which the fund can be required at responsible terms and contribution in the
essence of finance.
 Dividend decision
When a business firm generates profit Then major issues arises that whether the firm
should distribute all profits or retain them, or distribute a portion and retain the balance
for further usage of business

1.6 “CAPITAL BUDGETING”

Meaning

The term capital budgeting refers to the long term planning for proposed capital outlays or
expenditure for the purpose of maximizing return on investments. The capital expenditure may
be

(1) Cost of mechanization, automation and replacement.


(2) Cost of acquisition of fixed assets. E.g., land, building and machinery etc.
(3) Investment on research and development.
(4) Cost of development and expansion of existing and new projects.

1.7 DEFINITION OF CAPITAL BUDGETING

Capital budget is also known as “investment decision making or capital expenditure decisions”
or “planning capital expenditure” etc. normally such decisions where investment of money and
expected benefits arising there from are spread over more than one year, it includes both rising
of long-term funds as their utilization. Charles T. Hangmen has defined capital budgeting as
“capital their utilization. Charles T. Hangmen has defined capital budgeting as “capital budgeting
is long term. Planning for making and financing proposed capital outlays. “In other words,
capitals budgeting is the decision making process by which a firm evaluates the purchases of
major fixed assets including buildings, machinery and equipment. “Capital budgeting is
concerned with the firm’s formal process for the acquisition and investment of capital.”

BISHOP COTTON WOMENS CHRISTIAN COLLEGE Page 5


CAPITAL BUDGETING PROCESS IN BMTC
1.8 IMPORTANCE OF CAPITAL BUDGETING

Capital budgeting is important because of the following reasons;

1) Capital budgeting decisions involves long-term implication for the firm, and
influence its risk complexion.
2) Capital budgeting involves commitment of large amount of funds.
3) Capital decisions are required to assessment of future events which are uncertain.
4) Wrong sale fore cast may lead to over or under investment of resources.
5) In most cases, capital budgeting decisions are irreversible. This is because it is
very difficult to find a market for the capital goods. The only alternative available
is to scrap the assets, in cur heavy loss.
6) Capital budgeting ensures the selection of right source of finance at the right time.
7) Many firms fail, because they have too much or too little capital equipment.
8) Investment decision taken by individual concern is of national importance
because it determines employment, economic activities and economic growth.

1.9 OBGECTIVES OF CAPITAL BUDGETING

The following are the important objectives of capital budgeting:


1) To ensure the selection of the possible profitable capital projects.
2) To ensure the effective control of capital expenditure in order to achieve by
forecasting the benefits and costs may be measured in terms of each flow.
3) Determining the required quantum takes place as per authorization and sanctions.
4) To ensure maximization of profit by allocating the available investible.

CAPITAL BUDGETING PROCESS IN BMTC
1.10TYPES OF METHODS

1. Pay-back period method: pay-back period is also termed as “pay-out period” or


pay-off period. Payout period method is one of the most popular and widely recognized
traditional methods of evaluating investment proposals. It is defined as the number of
years required to recover the initial investment in full with the help of the stream of
annual cash flows generated by the project.

Advantages of pay-back period method

It is an important guide to investment policy

 It is simple to understand and easy to calculate


 It facilities to determine the liquidly and solvency of a firm
 It helps to measure the profitable internal investment opportunities
 It enables the firm to select an investment which yields a quick return on cash
 It used as a methods of method of running competitive projects
 It ensures reduction of cost of capital expenditure.

Disadvantages of payback period method

 It does not measure the profitability of a project


 It does not value projects of different economic lives
 This method does not consider income beyond the pay-back period
 It does not give proper weight to timing of cash flows
 It does not indicate how to maximize value and ignores the relative profitability of the
project
 It does not consider cost of capital and interest factor which are very important factors in
taking sound investment decisions.

BISHOP COTTON WOMENS CHRISTIAN COLLEGE Page 7


CAPITAL BUDGETING PROCESS IN BMTC
2. Average rate of return method (ARR) or Accounting rate of return
method:

Average rate of return method is also termed as accounting rate of return method. This
method focuses on the average net income generated in a project in relation to the
project’s average investment outlay. This method involves accounting profits not cash
flows and is similar to the performance measure of return on capital employed.

Advantages

 It considers all the years involved in the life of a project rather than only pay-back years.
 It applies accounting profit as a criterion of measurement and not cash flow.

Disadvantages

 It applies profit as a measure of yardstick not cash flow.


 The time value of money is ignored in this method.
 Yearly profit determination may be a difficult task.

3. Internal rate of return method (IRR)


Internal rate of return method is also called as “time adjust rate of return method”. It is
defined as the rate which equates the present value of each cash inflows with the present
value of cash outflows of an investment. In other words, it is the rate at which the net
present value of the investment is zero.
Hangmen and foster define internal rate of return as the rate of interest at which the
present value of expected cash inflows from a project equals the present value of
expected cash outflows of the project.

BISHOP COTTON WOMENS CHRISTIAN COLLEGE Page 8


CAPITAL BUDGETING PROCESS IN BMTC
4. Discounted cash flow method (or) time adjusted method:
Discount cash flow is a method of capital investment appraisal which takes into
account both the overall profitability and also the timing of return. Discounted
cash flow method helps to measure the cash inflow and outflow of a project as if they
occurred at a single point in time so that they can be compared in an appropriate way.
This method recognizes that the use of money has a cost, i.e., interest foregone.
In this method risk can be incorporated into discounted cash flow computations by
adjusting the discount rate or cut off rate.

5. Net present value method (NPV):


This is one of the discounted cash flow techniques which explicitly recognize the
time value of money. In this method all Cash inflows and outflows are converted into
present value (i.e., value at present time) applying an appropriate rate of interest
(usually cost of capital).
In other words, net present value method discount inflows and outflows to their
present value at the appropriate cost of capital and set the present value of cash inflow
against the present value of outflow to calculate net present value. Thus, the net
present value is obtained by subtracting the present value of cash outflows from the
present value of cash flows.

Advantages of net present value method:


 It recognizes the time value of money and is thus scientific in its approach.
 All the cash flows spread over the entire life of the project are used for
calculations.
 It is consistent with the objectives of maximizing the welfare of the owners as it
depicts the positive otherwise present value of the proposals.

BISHOP COTTON WOMENS CHRISTIAN COLLEGE Page 9


CAPITAL BUDGETING PROCESS IN BMTC
Disadvantages

 This method is comparatively difficult to understand or use.


 When the projects in consideration involve different amounts of investment,
the net present value method may not give satisfactory results

6. Profitability index method:


Profitability index is also known as benefit cost ratio. It gives the present value of
future benefits, computed at the required rate of return on the initial investment.
Profitability index may either be gross profitability index or net profitability index.
Net profitability index is the gross profitability index minus one.

Advantages of profitability index:


 It duly recognizes the time value of money.
 For calculations when compared with internal rate of return method it requires
less time.
 It helps in ranking the project for investment decisions.
 As this method is capable of calculating incremental benefit cost ratio, it can
be used to choose between mutually exclusive projects.

The classification of capital budgeting projects is as follows

(1) Replacement projects:-


If a piece of equipment is out dated or hinders efficient production, company’s usually
tends to avoid over analyzing whether to replace the order equipment. This type of
project is usually carried out without detailed Analysis.

BISHOP COTTON WOMENS CHRISTIAN COLLEGE Page 10


CAPITAL BUDGETING PROCESS IN BMTC
(2) Expansion projects:-

These projects expand the volume of the business product lines and more uncertainties of
sales forecasts should be considered. Very detailed analyses are usually involved in this
instance.

(3) Mandatory projects:-


These types of projects are required by the government, an insurance company, or some
other agency. These projects are usually related to safety or the environment and are
typically not revenue generating. Capital budgeting decisions are typically made to reach
the objective at the lowest cost to the company.
(4) New products and services:-
New products and services require more complex decision making processes, and careful
capital budgeting decisions are necessary.

Steps of capital budgeting process


The capital budgeting process involves generation of investment proposals, estimation of
cash flows for the proposals, evaluation of cash flows, selection of projects based on
acceptance criterion, and finally the continual revaluation of investment after their
acceptance. The steps involved in capital budgeting process are as follows.
(1) Project generation
(2) Project evaluation
(3) Project selection
(4) Project execution
(5) Significance and presentation

Capital budget decisions are among the most crucial business decision. A number of
factors are responsible for capital budget decisions. Care must be taken while making
capital budget decisions influence all the departments of the company such as production,
marketing, personal etc.

BISHOP COTTON WOMENS CHRISTIAN COLLEGE Page 11


CAPITAL BUDGETING PROCESS IN BMTC
1.11 Principles of capital budgeting:

Capital expenditure decision should be taken on the basis of the following factors:

1. Creative search profitable opportunities:

The first stage is the conception of the profits making idea. Profitable investments should
be sought to supplement existing proposals.

2. Long range capital planning:

A flexible program of a company’s expected future development over long period of time
should be prepared.

3. Short range capital planning:

This is for short period. It indicates its sect oral demand for funds to stimulate alternative
proposals before the aggregate demand for the funds finalized.

4. Measurement of project work:

The economic growth of a project to a company is evaluated at this stage. The project is
ranked with other projects.

5. Screening and selection:

The project is examined on the basis of selection criteria, such as the supply and cost of
capital, expected returns, alternative investment opportunities.

6. Control and authorized outlays:

Outlays should be controlled in an order to avoid costly delays and cost over runs.

BISHOP COTTON WOMENS CHRISTIAN COLLEGE Page 12


CAPITAL BUDGETING PROCESS IN BMTC
7. Post mortem:

The ex-post routines of a completed investment project should be re-valuated in order to


verify exact conformity with extant projections.

8. Retirement and proposals:

The expiry of the cycle in the life of the project is marked at this stage.

9. Forms and procedure:

This involves the preparation of reports necessary for any capital expenditure
programmed.

10. Authorization:

Since capital expenditure budget does not contain detailed expenditure, it is essential that
before any individual projects relating to capital areas are started, the expenditure should
be specifically authorized.

According to James M. Coram (1999 ) capital budget request down 22% from fiscal
year country executive Charles I. Esker sent the country council an austere 563 million capital is
sure to provoke debate in two areas: public education and road resurfacing. The budget proposal
is the smallest request Mr. Esker has made during his three year term $18 million or $ 22%
below the country’s capital budget of a year ago. This article says that council members have
agreed to get a bonding idea from other members present in council. Mr. Esker told the council
that his trimming of the school board request is part of his overall plan to reduce the cost of
building, furnishing and operating all country’s facilities.

According to Gaudy A. Epstein (2004) as promised Gov. parries N Glendenning


released a $ 1.26 billion capital yesterday that is largely devoted to an ambitious binge of
building public school and colleges and environmental projects such as buying open space.

This article conveys that the release of the capital budget caps a weak of record construction
spending proposals from the governor last week the governor announced a record of $ 2.7 billion
in transportation projects, including two projects to be paid for in the general state fund.

According to Laurence D. Booth (1989) this article discusses the relative merits of
different capital budgeting techniques used by MNC is. The purpose is to show that APV
method, which has recently gained popularity, can cause incorrect choices to be made between
competing projects unless the NPV is already determined. The author calculating projects NPV
correctly.

CAPITAL BUDGETING PROCESS IN BMTC
According to Mao (1993) survey of capital budgeting major differences was a
manager viewing risk as semi variance of EPs and their reluctance to use IRR/NPV. Asked the
managers for their main objective, financial management they didn’t always “maximize share
value “, but it was implicit in all their answers. The goal of maximizing share value is treated
into translated into operating targets of growth and stability in the earnings stream. This article
states that the real difficulty is the search for a reliable probability distribution of cash flows to
base the decision upon. Thus, the author also again states that relatively slow acceptance of IRR
and NPV criteria of companies.

According to Gilman (1982) a survey of capital budgeting techniques used by


major U.S firms study confirms trend of increasing use of more sophisticated analysis tools. It
was surveyed on 1976 of 268 major company’s yields 103 responses on capital budgeting
procedures and techniques capital rationing and handling of risk.

This article conveys that project definition and cash flow estimation viewed as both most
difficult and most important part of the process. 71% of firms incorporate explicit consideration
of risk into their analysis with 43% increases minimum rate of return to do so.

According to Schell (1985) survey and analysis of capital budgeting methods trend
toward use of more sophisticated capital budgeting techniques continues. If this trend toward use
of more sophisticated capital budgeting techniques continues. If this trend were true i.e. if
business were becoming “smarter” at making investment decisions’ then one would presume an
increase in productivity. Caters paribus effects on productivity were week, then it places doubt
on the importance of the techniques to begin with.

This article states that most popular capital budgeting technique was payback. Most firms used
multiple methods 86% used IRR or NPV or both. The 86% figure is an increase over prior
survey. Risk analysis is also becoming more sophisticated

BISHOP COTTON WOMENS CHRISTIAN COLLEGE Page 18


CAPITAL BUDGETING PROCESS IN BMTC
According to Harris (1990)Asymmetric Information, institutes and intra firm
resource a location provides rational for allocating resources via transfer pricing is an
asymmetric information principal agent features an environment of asymmetric information
between division managers and top management, where preference differ .This article conveys
that cost minimization result show” That certain types to transfer pricing schemes are optimal
“The schemes depend on whether production of the central resource is capacity bounds. If not
capacity bound, Then the optimal process is for each division to choose transfer froze a schedule
announced by a head quarters

According to Stanley (2000) survey of multinational capital budgeting. Survey of


multinational firms affirms trend of greater capital budgeting. U.S multinational firms appear to
be moving toward a more normative approach to the capital budgeting decision making process
the gap between the prescribed and the actual continues to narrow. This article suggests that
stock holder wealth maximization mentioned as the primary goal of the firm. Further
sophistication is also evidenced by the fact that the internal rate of return is the primary method
of evaluation for 65% of the respondents. “Larger firms appear to use more advanced techniques.

According to Ross (2001) capital budgeting practices of twelve manufacturers’


smaller projects are subject to high the facto hurdle rates. Capital rationing not a rational scheme
for focusing effort on the most profitable investment opportunities. The practice oat most firms is
thus to keep both the financial analysis of smaller project, and the process of communicating this
analysis to decision markers.

This article concludes that the importance of asking how capital budgeting practices differs at the
plant, division, investment committee, and CEO and board levels.

BISHOP COTTON WOMENS CHRISTIAN COLLEGE Page 19


CAPITAL BUDGETING PROCESS IN BMTC
According to Tagore (1972) Allocating capital among a firms division. Most firms
use budgets as only one part of their capital allocation system. Most large firms use a hybrid
capital allocation system compromising hurdle rates, budgets, and occasional full information
analysis. Capital budgeting or rationing may be driven by external factors. This article concludes
that the hybrid process as iterative management sets preliminary divisional budget targets, as a
first step, based on strategic considerations.

Firms then distinguish between large and small projects and investment in new or existing
business.

According to Harris (1988) the capital budgeting process provides theory for
internal capital allocation processes. Model features an agency environment in which division
managers have private information and a desire for greater investment. The article conveys that
as audit decline, the initial spending limits decline and the allocation process becomes more
flexible. As investment opportunities improve initial spending limits decline, but approval of
requests becomes more likely and comprise allocations increase.

According to Revive (1933) capital budgeting and delegation investigates the


delegation of capital allocation decisions. The optimal scheme is similar in an aggregate capital
spending limit now the manager can request additional capital depending on audit costs. If costs
are low he can request one of two larger capital amounts. This article concludes that the main
result on delegation follows from the assumption that the division managers marginal utility for
capital is increasing with project productivity.

According to Clark (1923) capital budgeting, political risk and prudence uses
absolute prudence to rank politically risky international investment alternatives. In international
capital budgeting with both project and political risk associated good times is preferred risk
associated with bad times using the concept of absolute prudence, otherwise equivalent
investment can be ranked according to which possible outcomes are affected by the political risk.
This article concludes that absolute prudence measures the propensity to prepare and for earn
oneself in the face of uncertainty in contrast to risk aversion.

According to Ravi (1933) capital budgeting and delegation investigates the


delegation of capital allocation decisions. The optimal scheme is similar in an aggregate capital
spending limit now the manager can request additional capital depending on audit cists. If costs
are low he can request one of two larger capital amounts. This article concludes that the main
result on delegation follows from the assumption that the division managers marginal utility for
capital is increasing with project productivity.

According to Clark (1923) capital budgeting, political risk and prudence uses
absolute prudence to rank politically risky international investment alternatives. In international
capital budgeting with both project and political risk associated good times is preferred to

According to Prather, Larry. J (1984) capital budgeting practices of small
business Capital budgeting decisions also known as capital investment or capital expenditure
decisions remain critical to the success of any firm. Brigham and ehrhardt argue that sound
capital budgeting decisions are vital to a firms must make. This article states that our survey
covered a variety of discounted cash flow and other traditional techniques and also examined the
incidence and treatment of capital rationing.

According to Shiminchen (2004) management compensation and pay back method


in capital budgeting while discounted cash flow techniques, such as net present value are the
primary normative models of capital budgeting recommended by finance theory our survey
suggests that one of the so called naïve methods the pay back criterion is widely used in practice.
This article states that the study finds out direct links between management compensation and
the use of payback.

According to cooper William D, Morgan Robert G, Ragman Alonzo,


Smith Margaret has done a study to assess the current level capital budgeting sophistication
in corporate America. A survey questionnaire was sent to the CFOs of the fortune 500
companies. They received response from 113 companies having a response rate of 23%. As per
the result of their study, the most popular backup technique is the PBP (23%), which is slightly
more popular than the IRR and the NPV (21%). Many firms use a team approach to evaluate
capital projects. The largest number of their respondents believes that project definition and cash
flow estimation is the most important and difficult stage of the capital budgeting process.
Majority of the firms used cut off rate between 10% and 15%. The most popular method of
handling risk in the capital budgeting process identified by 33% of the respondents was to
increase the required rate of return of cost of capital.

According to lord Beverley R. and Boyd Jenifer R. surveyed half of the New
Zealand local authorities to find out how they undertook capital budgeting. This study was later
extended to all New Zealand local authorities. Results of the two surveys show that 75% of local
authorities use cost-benefit analysis and NPV in financially evaluating capital investments.
However, compared to studies of the private sector, there is a greater focus on qualitative aspects
of decision-making. Post-audits were also highly used, but with a focus on quantitative
information.

KSRTC and 5.5 per cent for the BMTC
