CHAPTER 1 CAPITAL BUDGETING PART 1
Q.1 A company proposes to install a machine involving a capital cost of Rs. 3,60,000.
The life of the machines is 5 years and its salvage value at the end of the life is Nil. The
machine will produce the net operating income after depreciation of Rs. 68,000 per
annum. The company’s tax rate is 45%. The present value factors for 5 years are as
under:
Discounting Rate 14% 15% 16% 17% 18%
Cumulative Factors 3.43 3.35 3.27 3.20 3.13
You are required to calculate the internal rate of return of the proposal:
Solution:
Computation of Cash Inflow
A. Net operating income Per annum 68,000
B. Less: Tax @ 45% (30,600)
C. Profit after tax 37,400
D. Add: Depreciation (Rs. 3,60,000/ 5 years) 72,000
E. Cash inflow p.a. 1,09,400
The IRR of the investments can be found as follows:
NPV = - Rs. 3,60,000 + Rs. 1,09,400 (PVAF5,r) =0
𝑅𝑠.3,60,000
Or, PAVF5r (cumulative factors) = 𝑅𝑠.1,09,400 = 3.29
Computation of internal Rate of return
A. Discounting rate 15% 16%
B. Cumulative factors 3.35 3.27
C. Total cash inflow 3,66,490 3,57,738
(Rs. 1,09,400×3,350) (Rs.1,09,400×3.27)
D. Initial Outlay (Rs.) 3,60,000 3,60,000
E. NPV (Rs) [C – D] 6,490 (2,262)
6,490
IRR = 15% +[6,490+2,262] = 15% + 0.74% = 15.74%
Alternatives Method
𝑃𝑉𝐴𝐹 𝑎𝑡 𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒−𝑃𝑎𝑦𝑏𝑎𝑐𝑘 𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑑
IRR = Lower Rate + 𝑃𝑉𝐴𝐹 𝑎𝑡 𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒−𝑃𝑉𝐴𝐹 𝑎𝑡 ℎ𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒
3.35−3.29
= 15% + 3.35−3.27 = 15.75%.
Q.2 A company is considering the proposals of takings up a new projects which
requires an investments of Rs. 400 lakhs on machinery and other assets. The projects is
expected to yield the followings earnings (before depreciation and taxes) over the
next five years.
Year 1 2 3 4 5
Earnings (Rs.in lakhs) 160 160 180 180 150
The cost of raising the additional capital is 12% and assets have to be
depreciation at 20% on Written Down value bases. The scrap value at the end of the
five years. Period may be taken as zero income tax applicable to the company is 50%.
Required: Calculate the net present value of the project and advise the
managements to take appropriate decision. Also calculate the internal Rate of
Return of the project.

Recommendation: Company should accept the projects at 12% since NPV is potive.
(ii)Calculation of internal Rate of Return (IRR)
1,607
IRR = 14% + 1,607+386 × (16% − 14%)
IRR = 14% + 1.61% = 15.61%.
