Analysis and Techniques of

Capital Budgeting
Capital Budgeting
• Capital budgeting is the process of taking long term investment
decisions whose benefits are expected over series of years.

• Example:
(1) Setting up of factories.
(2) Installing a machinery.
(3) Increase in production capacity.
Why are CB decisions are important?
(1) Long term growth and effects
(2) Large amount of funds involved
(3) Risk involved
(4) Irreversible decisions.
Types of CB decisions
(I) On the basis of firm’s existence

A. Replacement decisions
 Replacing fixed assets due to expiry of its economic life.
B. Modernisation decisions
 Replacing fixed assets due to its technological obsolescence.
C. Expansion decisions
 Increasing existing production capacity.
D. Diversification decisions
 Commencing new product/service lines.
Types of CB decisions…….continued
(II) On the basis of decision situation

A. Mutually Exclusive Decisions

 Firm is considering the purchase of machine A or machine B.
B. Accept – Reject Decisions
Project A, B and C are generating returns of 20 %, 18 % and 14 %
respectively. If firm’s minimum rate of requirement is 15 %, then it will
select Project A and Project B.
C. Contingent decisions/Complimentary decisions
If a company accepts a proposal to set up a factory in remote area, then it
may have to invest in building other infrastructure like houses for
employees, roads etc.

 Average rate of return
• Average rate of return means average annual yield on project.

• Average rate of return = Annual average earning after taxes *100

Average Investment

where,
Average Investment = ½ (Original cost – Salvage Value) + Salvage Value+ Working Capital

Rule:
Accept the project if ARR is greater than and equal to minimum acceptable rate of
return.

• Payback period is the number of years required to recover the cost of
project.

In case of Equal Annual Cash Inflows

Payback period = Initial Cash Outflows

Annual Cash Inflow
Q1. Calculate payback period:

 We have studied two non
discounting capital budgeting
techniques: ARR and Payback
Period.
Lets study discounting techniques. Present value
factor table will be used.
Discounted Payback Period
• It is the period within which the entire cost of the project is expected
to be completely recovered by way of discounted cash inflows.
Q1. Calculate discounted payback period:

Net Present Value
• It is very important capital budgeting technique.
• It is defined as the difference between present value of cash inflow
and present value of cash outflow.
NPV = PVCI-PVCO
where, NPV is Net present value of project.
PVCI = Present value of Cash Inflow
PVCO= Present value of cash outflow.

Analysis: If NPV is +, we will accept the project.

If NPV is -, we will reject the project.
If NPV = 0, we may accept or reject the project.
Q1. Calculate the Net present value of
project if
Cost of project is Rs.75,000

5 2,80,000
Profitability Index
• It is defined as the ratio of present value of cash inflow and present
value of cash outflow.
PI = PVCI
PVCO
where, PI is Profitability Index.
PVCI = Present value of Cash Inflow
PVCO= Present value of cash outflow.

Analysis: If PI > 1, we will accept the project.

If PI < 1, we will reject the project.
If PI = 1, we may accept or reject the project.

project:

Calculate :
(1) Payback period
(2) NPV
(3) PI
(4) Discounted Payback Period.
Internal Rate of Return
• Internal rate of return is the rate which equates present value of cash inflow
with present value of cash outflow associated with the project.

• Internal rate of return is the rate at which NPV is zero.

• Internal rate of return is the rate of return earned on the initial investments
made in the project.

• Accept the project. If IRR > Cost of capital.

• IRR = L + NPV L * (H-L)

NPVL-NPVH
• IRR = L + NPV L * (H-L)
NPVL-NPVH

Where,
L = Lower Discounting rate
H= Higher discounting rate
NPVL = Net present value at lower discounting rate
NPVH = Net present value at higher discounting rate
IRR = Internal rate of return

Higher the discounting rate, Lower will be the NPV.
