BUDGETING
Richard and Green law - “Capital budgeting is acquiring inputs with long-term return”.
Lyrich - “Capital budgeting consists of planning development of available capital for the purpose of maximizing the long-term
profitability of the concern”.
CAPITAL BUDGETING CONT.
• Capital Budgeting is the process of determining which capital expenditure
project should be accepted amongst various projects and given an allocation
of funds from the firm.
• To evaluate capital budgeting processes, their consistency with the goal of
shareholder wealth maximization is of utmost importance.
• The examples of capital expenditure includes :
• 1. Purchase of fixed assets such as land and building, plant and machinery,
good will, etc.
• 2. The expenditure relating to addition, expansion, improvement and
alteration to the fixed assets.
• 3. The replacement of fixed assets. Research and development project.
TIME VALUE OF MONEY
• Suppose “A” wins a Prize in a contest and he has got two
options.
• A. Receive INR 10,000 now
• OR
• B. Receive INR 10,000 in three years
• Which option should “A” choose?
“A rupee today is worth more than a rupee
tomorrow.”
• 1. Presence of positive rates of inflation which reduce the purchasing power of rupees
through time. Suppose rate of petrol about one year back was Rs. 65 per litre and
now it is Rs. 72 per litre. This may be observed that in this example purchase power of
rupee in terms of petrol purchased has decreased from 1/65 to 1/72.
• 2. A rupee today is worth more today than in the future because of the opportunity
cost of lost earnings — that is, it could have been invested and earned a return
between today and a point in time in the future.
• 3. Thirdly, all future values are in some sense only promises, and contain some
uncertainty about their occurrence. As a result of the risk of default or non-
performance of an investment, a rupee in hand today is worth more than an expected
rupee in the future.
• 4. Finally, human preferences typically involve impatience, or the preference to
consume goods and services now rather than in the future.
Use of Time Value of Money
• 1. Present Value:
• Present value refers to the current worth of a future sum of money or stream of
cash flows given a specified rate of return.
• Present Value of a cash flow is calculated on the basis of formula as given below
• PV = Cash Flow/ (1+r)t
• Here ‘r’ refers to required rate of return and ‘t’ refers to the time period.
• Find Present Value of INR 80,000 to be received after five years when required rate
of return is 10%. Assume in the same example, the rate of return is 15%
• higher the discount rate, the ___ the present value of the future cash flows
• Mr. Abraham owes a total of INR 3,060 which includes 12% interest for three years
he borrowed the money. How much did he originally borrow?
• Future value of a lump sum refers to the value after a
certain period of time at the given rate of interest. It may
be calculated by using the following formula
• FV = CF * (1+r)t OR FV = PV * (1+r)t
2. Future • Where FVt = Future Value after a period t
