Nature
Capital Budgeting is the process of evaluating and selecting long-term investments that are consistent with the goal of shareholders (owners) wealth maximisation. Capital Expenditure is an outlay of funds that is expected to produce benefits over a period of time exceeding one year.

Such types of decisions are subject to less risk as the potential cash saving can be estimated better from the past production and cost data.

Data Requirement
The data requirement for capital budgeting are after tax cash outflows and cash inflows. Besides, they should be incremental in that they are directly attributable to the proposed investment project. The existing fixed costs, therefore, are ignored. In brief, incremental after-tax cash flows are the only relevant cashflows in the analysis of new investment projects.

Determination of Relevant
Cash flows
The data requirement for capital budgeting are cash flows, that is, outflows and inflows. Their computation depends on the nature of the proposal. The investment in new capital projects can be categorised into 1) 2) 3) Single proposal Re-placement proposal Mutually exclusive proposals
9-10
Single Proposal
In the case of single/independent investment proposal, cash outflows primarily consist of (1) Purchase cost of the new plant and machinery (2) Its installation costs (3) Working capital requirement to support production and sales (in the case of revenue expanding proposals/release of working capital in cost reduction proposals. The cash inflows after taxes (CFAT) are computed by adding depreciation (D) to the projected earnings after taxes (EAT) from the proposal. In the terminal year of the project, apart from operating CFAT, the cash inflows include salvage value (if any, net of removal costs), recovery of working capital and tax advantage\taxes paid on short-term capital loss\gain on sale of machine.

Example 1 An iron ore company is considering investing in a new processing facility. The company extracts ore from an open pit mine. During a year, 1,00,000 tonnes of ore is extracted. If the output from the extraction process is sold immediately upon removal of dirt, rocks and other impurities, a price of Rs 1,000 per ton of ore can be obtained. The company has estimated that its extraction costs amount to 70 per cent of the net realisable value of the ore. As an alternative to selling all the ore at Rs 1,000 per tonne, it is possible to process further 25 per cent of the output. The additional cash cost of further processing would be Rs 100 per ton. The proposed ore would yield 80 per cent final output, and can be sold at Rs 1,600 per ton. For additional processing, the company would have to instal equipment costing Rs.100 lakh. The equipment is subject to 25 per cent depreciation per annum on reducing balance (WDV -written down value ) basis/method. It is expected to have useful life of 5 years. Additional working capital requirement is estimated at Rs.10 lakh. The companys cut-off rate for such investments is 15 per cent. Corporate tax rate is 35 per cent. Assuming there is no other plant and machinery subject to 25 per cent depreciation, should the company instal the equipment if (a) the expected salvage is Rs 10 lakh and (b) there would be no salvage value at the end of year 5.

Example 2 Royal Industries Ltd is considering the replacement of one of its moulding machines. The existing machine is in good operating condition, but is smaller than required if the firm is to expand its operations. It is 4 years old, has a current salvage value of Rs 2,00,000 and a remaining life of 6 years. The machine was initially purchased for Rs 10 lakh and is being depreciated at 25 per cent on the basis of written down value method. The new machine will cost Rs 15 lakh and will be subject to the same method as well as the same rate of depreciation. It is expected to have a useful life of 6 years, salvage value of Rs 1,50,000 at the sixth year end. The management anticipates that with the expanded operations, there will be a need of an additional net working capital of Rs 1 lakh. The new machine will allow the firm to expand current operations and thereby increase annual revenues by Rs 5,00,000; variable cost to volume ratio is 30 per cent. Fixed costs (excluding depreciation) are likely to remain unchanged. The corporate tax rate is 35 per cent. Its cost of capital is 10 per cent. The company has several machines in the block of 25 per cent depreciation. Should the company replace its existing machine? What course of action would you suggest, if there is no salvage value?

Example 3 A company is considering two mutually exclusive proposals, X and Y. Proposal X will require the purchase of machine X, for Rs 1,50,000 with no salvage value but an increase in the level of working capital to the tune of Rs 50,000 over its life. The project will generate additional sales of Rs 1,30,000 and require cash expenses of Rs 30,000 in each of the 5 years of its life. Proposal Y will require the purchase of machine Y for Rs 2,50,000 with no salvage value and additional working capital of Rs 70,000. The project is expected to generate additional sales of Rs 2,00,000 with cash expenses aggregating Rs 50,000. Both the machines are subject to written down value method of depreciation at the rate of 25 per cent. Assuming the company does not have any other asset in the block of 25 per cent; has 12 per cent cost of capital and is subject to 35 per cent tax, advise which machine it should purchase? What course of action would you suggest if Machine X and Machine Y have salvage values of Rs 10,000 and Rs 25,000 respectively?

Example 6 In Example 4 we would accept the proposals of purchasing machines A and B as their net present values are positive. The positive NPV of machine A is Rs 13,520 (Rs 69,645 Rs 56,125) and that of B is Rs 15,396 (Rs 71,521 Rs 56,125). In Example 4, if we incorporate cash outflows of Rs 25,000 at the end of the third year in respect of overhauling of the machine, we shall find the proposals to purchase either of the machines are unacceptable as their net present values are negative. The negative NPV of machine A is Rs 6,255 (Rs 69,645 Rs 74,900 (56125+25000*.751)) and of machine B is Rs 3,379 (Rs 71,521 Rs 74,900). As a decision criterion, this method can also be used to make a choice between mutually exclusive projects. On the basis of the NPV method, the various proposals would be ranked in order of the net present values. The project with the highest NPV would be assigned the first rank, followed by others in the descending order. If, in our example, a choice is to be made between machine A and machine B on the basis of the NPV method, machine B having larger NPV (Rs 15,396) would be preferred to machine A (NPV being Rs 13,520).

Determine actual IRR by interpolation. This can be done either directly using Equation 1 or indirectly by finding present values of annuity (Equation 2). IRR = r Where PB DFr DFrL - DFrH (Equation 1)
PB = Pay back period DFr = Discount factor for interest rate r. DFrL = Discount factor for lower interest rate DFrH = Discount factor for higher interest rate. r = Either of the two interest rates used in the formula PVco PVCFAT PV r (Equation 2)
Alternatively, IRR = r -
Where PVCO = Present value of cash outlay PVCFAT = Present value of cash inflows (DFr x annuity) r = Either of the two interest rates used in the formula r = Difference in interest rates PV = Difference in calculated present values of inflows
9-49
Example 7 A project costs Rs 36,000 and is expected to generate cash inflows of Rs 11,200 annually for 5 years. Calculate the IRR of the project. Solution (1) The pay back period is 3.214 (Rs 36,000/Rs 11,200) (2) According to Table A-2, discount factors closest to 3.214 for 5 years are 3.274 (16 per cent rate of interest) and 3.199 (17 per cent rate of interest). The actual value of IRR which lies between 16 per cent and 17 per cent can, now, be determined using Equations 1 and 2. Substituting the values in Equation 1 we get: IRR =16- [(3.2143.274)/(3.274-3.199)] = 16.8 per cent. Alternatively (starting with the higher rate), IRR = 17 3.199)/(3.274-3.199)] = 16.8 per cent.

Instead of using the direct method, we may find the actual IRR by applying the interpolation formula to the present values of cash inflows and outflows (Equation 2). Here, again, it is immaterial whether we start with the lower or the higher rate. PVCFAT (0.16) PVCFAT (0.17) = Rs 11,200 3.274 = Rs 36,668.8 = Rs 11,200 3.199 = Rs 35,828.8 IRR = 16 Alternatively (starting with the higher rate), IRR = r IRR = 17 36,000 36,668.8 36,668.8 35,828.8 1 = 16.8 %
1 = 16.8 %

Example 8 When PI is greater than, equal to or less than 1, the net present value is greater than, equal to or less than zero respectively. In other words, the NPV will be positive when the PI is greater than 1; will be negative when the PI is less than one. Thus, the NPV and PI approaches give the same results regarding the investment proposals. The selection of projects with the PI method can also be done on the basis of ranking. The highest rank will be given to the project with the highest PI, followed by others in the same order. In Example 4 (Table 3) of machine A and B, the PI would be 1.24 for machine A and 1.27 for machine B: PI (Machine A) = PI (Machine B) = Rs 69,645 Rs 56,125 Rs 71,521 Rs 56,125 = 1.24 = 1.27
Since the PI for both the machines is greater than 1, both the machines are acceptable.

With the liberalisation and opening up the coal sector to private firms, the Board of Directors of Coal India Ltd have decided to undertake a feasibility study for semi-mechanisation of Domanhill Colliery by introducing side dump and load (SDL) machine. With the introduction of the SDL machine, the following changes in the operating parameters are forecast:
Increase in projected sales revenue by 25 per cent due to faster speed of work; Decrease in direct labour cost by 5 per cent resulting from ban on new recruitments; Fifteen per cent increase in administrative and selling expenses to support increased semi-mechanised production and sale; 10 per cent increase in fixed cost on account of setting up of additional maintenance facility; Increase in variable expenses, 50 per cent, as a result of additional electricity consumption; Loss in terms of disturbance charge due to opposition, strike and lockout: year 9, Rs 2 crore, year 10 Rs 0.80 crore and year 11, Rs 0.30 crore; The semi-mechanisation would require acquisition of 20 machines at a cost of Rs 1 crore each. An additional Rs 2 crore would have to be spent on creation of additional facility like transformer, special cables and installation of the machines. The machines including the additional facility created would be depreciated over a five year period on the basis of written down value method @ 25 per cent. At the end of 5 years, they are expected to be sold at Rs 2 crore. The colliery does not have other machines in the block of 25 per cent.

MINI CASE

(Net Present Value) Choolah Chimney Ltd (CCL) is a leading manufacturer of items used in kitchens such as gas stoves, electric chimneys, ovens and so on. It has grown significantly under the CEO Vivek Razdans dynamic leadership. In line with his belief to enhance competitiveness by using research and development for launching innovative products in the market, the CCL has recently developed a zero Maintenance Electric Chimney (known as Zimney) which is ideally suited for Indian cooking. The research and development cost of Zimney amounts to Rs 20,00,000. To gauge the market prospects for Zimney, a market survey was conducted by Bazar Gyani, the V.P., Marketing, at an estimated cost of Rs 5,00,000. The results of the survey were very positive showing a significant demand for Zimney. The survey report also indicated that Zimney could capture 8 per cent of the current market size of 1,00,000 units of gas electric chimney. Considering the growth of satellite towns/cities and residential colonies, the market is expected to grow at 2 per cent annually. The VP, Marketing suggested to the CEO that a market penetration pricing strategy would be most suitable and Zimney should be priced at Rs 5,000 per unit in the initial year of the launch. The price could be raised in subsequent years by 5 per cent annually. The marketing and administrative costs are expected to be Rs 4,00,000 per year.

The CCL is presently using 6 machines acquired 3 years ago at a cost of Rs 10,00,000 each, having a useful life of 7 years, with no salvage value. These machines are currently being used for manufacturing other types of chimneys. They could be sold for Rs 2,00,000 per machine with a removal cost of Rs 30,000 for each. The machine to manufacture Zimney is available in that market for Rs 1,00,00,000 with a useful life of 4 years and salvage value of Rs 10,00,000. It can produce other types of chimneys also. The new machine, being state of the art technology would improve the productivity of the workers as well reduce the unit variable cost of manufacture to Rs 600, which would increase by 5 per cent annually. Exhibit 1 summarises the labour cost with the existing machine and the new equipment.

The maintenance costs currently amount to 1,00,000 per year (existing machine). They would total Rs 70,000 with the new equipment. The net working capital required to start production of Zimney would be Rs 60,00,000. The policy of CCL is to pay five months salary as compensation in case of layoff of employees. Required Should the CCL launch the Zimney. Assume the following: (i) Tax, 35 per cent (ii) Required rate of return, 14 per cent and (iii) Straight line depreciation for the tax purposes.
