Table 2 presents the summary of the computed variables relevant to the
cost and return analysis of the Combined Grinder-Pelletizer Machine.
Fixed Cost
Depreciation, Php/y 2395.50
Interest on Investment, Php/y 548.97
Repair and Maintenance, Php/y 1597.00
Tax and Insurance, Php/y 1916.40
Total Fixed Cost 6457.87
It can be viewed from the table above that the total or gross benefits that
can be acquired from utilizing the Combined Grinder-Pelletizer machine is higher
than the total cost it needs for an annual operation. This implies that the said
machine is profitable if the benefits are acquired through pelleting and rental
services, and marketing of customized pellet feeds.
Table 3 shows the annual costs and benefits of the Combined Grinder-
Pelletizer Machine during its working years (6 years) and its relation to the payback
period needed to receive the investment cost spent for the construction of the said
machine.
The table above shows that the lowest net benefit that can be received is
during the first year of operation of the Combined Grinder-Pelletizer in which there
is a higher total cost of operation due to the initial investment of the machine.
Moreover, a salvage value can also be received once the useful life of the machine
ends. With these, the machined offers a 0.093 payback period in terms of years.
This means that in about 1.1 month or 34 days, the machine is expected to
get a return of 15,970 Php, which is equal to the investment cost of the machine.
On the other hand, Table 4 presents the breakeven point in utilizing the
Combined Grinder-Pelletizer Machine.
It could be gleaned from the table above the variables and calculations
necessary to determine the breakeven point of the machine. In this case, the
breakeven point of the Combined Grinder-Pelletizer Machine is 422.89 kg/y. This
indicates that the machine can pay the initial losses of its operation once it
produced 422.89 kg of pellets and service annually. This point also indicates the
starting point in which the machine can make profit without losses.
It can be realized from the table above that the cash flow statement is a
simpler version of a cost and return analysis as it is composed on only three parts
such as cash inflow, cash outflow, and net benefit, without list of detailed
particulars. However, the depreciation and interest on investment are not
considered in this analysis as it will be taken cared of discount factor which is often
incorporated in this table.
Table 6 presents the discounted cash flow statement based on the previous
table and discount factor of 12% in the Philippines.
The discounted cash flow statement above presents the present value of
the money that the machine will make in the future. It could be gleaned from the
table that with the discount factor, the present value of the future income is getting
lower as the years progress. This could imply that the purchasing power of the
money that will be acquired in the future tend to decrease every year.
Using the data presented in Table 6, other methods of project appraisal can
be utilized, such as:
1,870,003.08 Php
BCR =
1,171,462.06 Php
𝐁𝐂𝐑 = 𝟏.60
The positive and high net present value (NPV) indicates that the number of
benefits that will be acquired in the future through this operation still have value in
the present time, which makes it also valuable in the future. Then, the benefit-cost
ratio (BCR) computed which is greater than 1 implies that the benefits that the
machine offers is greater than the overall cost it will require. Lastly, the internal
rate of return (IRR) which is evidently higher than the discount factor implies that
the machine has a high investment opportunity as it can generate more that what
will be invested in it.
The low payback period and breakeven point, and high net benefits, benefit-
cost ratio, net present value, and internal rate of return is a positive indication of
the potential of Combined Grinder-Pelletizer in gaining profit in the market as
discussed in previous sections.
However, there are several factors that can influence the economic
performance of the machine – inflation for example. In relation to this, Table 8 and
Figure 1 shows a sensitivity analysis in which these factors are incorporated to the
inputs for the cost and return analysis. Specifically, a margin of 20% was applied
both positively and negatively on the said data.
To determine how well the machine will perform towards these changes,
the margin is only incorporated in the inputs under costs. Thus, the operational
costs of the machine will increase, but the benefits that can be received will remain
the same.
VALUES
It can be seen from the figure and table that the highest IRR, BCR, NPV,
and Net Benefits occurred when there is a 20% decrease in the operational costs
of the Combined Grinder-Pelletizer Machine. Hence, lower operational costs are
beneficial for the machine economically.
In contrary, the highest PBP and BPE occurred when the operational costs
are increased by 20%. This increase, especially in terms of BPE, is not ideal for
the machine as it will take a longer time before it can recover from its investment
cost.
V. Conclusion
In light of the presented discussion, the low value of payback period and
breakeven point indicates that the Combined Grinder-Pelletizer Machine can
quickly recover the investment cost spent in the beginning. On the other hand, the
high Net Benefits in Cost and Return Analysis and the Benefit Cost-Ratio above 1
shows the potential of the Combined Grinder-Pelletizer machine to generate
benefits and/or income despite the simultaneous investment to operational costs.
Then, the elevated level of Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return opens
an investment opportunity for the machine as it indicates the machine’s capability
to gain more than what is invested on it.
Lastly, the sensitivity analysis also helped in determining the extent of the
Combined Grinder-Pelletizer Machine’s potential in the economic aspect. In this
analysis, the impact of a simple change in one rate, price, or input to the overall
performance of the product or service can be observed. Through this, necessary
actions can be planned accordingly to either minimize these impacts or use it for
the economic advantage of the machine.
