Non-Discounted Capital Budgeting Techniques
Non-Discounted Capital Budgeting Techniques
Assume that Great Company is planning to spend P60,000 for a machine which will be
depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10-year period. The machine will generate additional
cash revenues of P12,000 a year. Great will not incur additional costs except for depreciation.
Income tax rate is 35%.
Required:
1. Determine the net income after tax.
Example:
a. Elmer Corporation invested P6,854 in a 4-year project. Elmer’s cost of capital is 8%. The
after-tax cash inflows are: Year 1- P2,000; Year 2- P2,200; Year-3- P2,400; Year 4-
P2,600.
b. Elmer Corporation invested P6,854 in a 4-year project. Elmer’s cost of capital is 8%. The
after-tax cash inflows are P2,000.
Profitability Index (PI)
The profitability index is the ratio of the total present value of future cash inflows to the initial
investment. It is used to rank projects in descending order of attractiveness. If the profitability
index is greater than 1, the project is accepted.

b. Elmer Corporation invested P6,854 in a 4-year project. Elmer’s cost of capital is 8%. The
after-tax cash inflows are P2,000.
Example:
Assume that: Initial investment P12,950; estimated life- 10 years; Annual cash inflows- P3,000;
Cost of capital- 12%.
Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR)
Where:
n- number of periods
Example:
A 5-year project with an initial outlay of P18,000 and a cost of capital of 14% will produce an annual cash
return of P5,600. The IRR of the project is 16.8% and the net present value= 0.
