Question 4.
• A company is considering a proposal to install a new machine at a cost of Rs. 50,000.
The machine has a life expectancy of 5 years and no salvage value. The tax rate is
35% p.a. Assume the firm uses straight line depreciation and the same is allowed for
tax purposes. The estimated cash flows before depreciation and tax (CFBT) from the
investment are as follows:
• Compute the NPV @ 10% to determine whether the company must make the
investment or not.
Solution
• 1. Calculate the depreciation using SLM
• 2. Arrive at the CFAT (Cash flow before depreciation and after tax)
Year (1) CFBT (2) Depreciation (3) PBT (4) = Tax @ 35% EAT (6) = CFAT (7) =
(2-3) (5) (4-5) (6 +3)
1 10,000 10,000 - - - 10,000

2 10,450 0.826 8,632
3 11,800 0.751 8,862
4 12,250 0.683 8,367
5 16,737.25 0.621 10,393.83
Since NPV is negative, the investment proposal to install a new milling control may be rejected.
Question 5.
• EM Private Ltd. Is evaluating two mutually exclusive proposals for new capital investment. The
following information about the proposal is available. Advise the company which project would
be financially viable using NPV method.
• Calcuation of CFAT

4 44,000 20,000 24,000 12,000 12,000 32,000
• It takes into consideration the time value of money and the risk of future cash
flows through the cost of capital.
• It is useful for ranking and choosing between projects when capital is rationed.
• It measures the ratio between the present value of future cash flows and the
initial investment. It presents a parallel between the costs and profits of a
certain project.
• Formula 1:
• PI = PV of inflows/PV of outflows.
• Formula 2:
Investment = 30,000
NPV = 53,255 - 30,000 = $ 23,255
• From the following data, compute the number of dollars returned for
every dollar invested. Recommend which is the best investment
proposal.
