Capital Budgeting

Session 10
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:

Year CFBT (Rs.)


1 10,000
2 10,692
3 12,769
4 13,462
5 20,365

• Compute the NPV @ 10% to determine whether the company must make the
investment or not.
Solution
• 1. Calculate the depreciation using SLM

50,000 / 5 = Rs. 10,000 per year of useful life

• 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 10,692 10,000 692 242 450 10,450
3 12,769 10,000 2,769 969 1,800 11,800
4 13,462 10,000 3,462 1,212 2,250 12,250
5 20,365 10,000 10,365 3,627.75 6,737.25 16,737.25
Year CFAT PVIF @ 10% PV of CF
1 10,000 0.909 9,090
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

Total PV of Cash flow = 45,344.83

NPV = 45,344.83 - 50,000 = Rs. - 4,655.17

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.

Method #2
Profitability Index
Profitability index

• The profitability index (PI) is a measure of a project's or


investment's attractiveness.

• The Profitability Index is calculated by dividing the present value of


future expected cash flows by the initial investment amount in the
project.

• A PI greater than 1.0 is deemed as a good investment, with higher


values corresponding to more attractive projects.
Importance of PI

• Profitability index, also known as profit investment ratio and value


investment ratio, is the ratio of payoff to investment of a proposed
project.

• It is a useful tool for ranking projects because it allows you to


quantify the amount of value created per unit of investment.

• PI greater than one indicates that present value of future cash


inflows from the investment is more than the initial investment,
thereby indicating that it will earn profits.
Advantages of using PI
• The profitability index indicates whether an investment would create or destroy
company value.

• 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.

• It is an investment tool that is easy to understand.

• It ascertains the exact rate of return of the project.

• It will take into consideration all cash flows from a project.


Demerits of PI

• The information generated is based on estimates instead of


facts.
• The tool ignores what is called the “sunk cost.”
• It can be difficult to estimate opportunity costs.
• It is difficult to understand interest rate or discount rate.
• It is difficult to calculate profitability index if two projects
having different useful life.
Calculation of PI
• In order to determine which project to pursue, the best formula to use is the Present value
Index.

• PI may be computed using either of the following formulae:

• Formula 1:

• PI = PV of inflows/PV of outflows.

• Formula 2:

• PI = 1+ (Net Present Value / Initial Investment Required)


Interpretation
Example 1

• Calculate the Profitability index of the


project at 10% cost of capital

• Advice Jade Ltd. whether the project must


be accepted or rejected, based on the PI.
Solution

Jade Ltd. may


accept the proposal
since PI is greater
than 1.
Question 1

• PQR Ltd. is considering an investment proposal costing $ 30,000.


Calculate the PI (using formula 2) and determine whether it is worth
investing at 10% cost of capital. The cash flows are are follows:
Solution

Year Cashflow (in ‘000 $) PV factor at 10% PV of Cashflow


1 5 0.909 4.545
2 10 0.826 8.260
3 15 0.751 11.265
4 20 0.683 13.66
5 25 0.621 15.525
Total 53.255

Investment = 30,000
NPV = 53,255 - 30,000 = $ 23,255

Profitability Index = 1 + (NPV/Initial Investment)


PI = 1 + (23,255/30,000)
PI = 1+0.77 = 1.77

The Project may be accepted owing to PI greater than 1.


Question 2

• From the following data, compute the number of dollars returned for
every dollar invested. Recommend which is the best investment
proposal.
