Long term Decision Making
By
Prof. Suku Thomas Samuel
Department of Management
Capital Investment Process
The steps for capital investment process are as follows:
1. Identify Objectives
2. Search of Investment opportunities
3. Identify states of nature
4. List possible outcomes
5. Measure payoffs
6. Select investment projects
7. Obtain authorisation & implement projects
8. Review capital investment decisions
Time value of Money
The time value of money (TVM) is the concept that a sum of money is
worth more now than the same sum will be at a future date due to its
earnings potential in the interim.
1. Future value of money
2. Present value of money
Investment appraisal
Investment appraisal
There are four widely used appraisal methods:
1. Payback period.
2. Accounting Rate of Return (ARR)
3. Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
4. Net Present Value (NPV)
Payback Period
The payback period is the time a project will take to pay back the
money spent on it.
It is based on expected cash flows and provides a measure of liquidity
and risk (the quicker that an investor can recover the initial investment
the quicker they can reinvest it elsewhere and the lower the risk of this
particular investment).
This is the time which elapses until the invested capital is recovered. It
considers cash flows only.
Payback Period
The advantages of payback period are as follows:
i. Simplicity
ii. Improving investment conditions
iii. Payback favours projects with a quick return
iv. Cash flows
The disadvantages of payback period are as follows:
i. Project returns may be ignored
ii. Time value of money
iii. Lack of objectivity
Accounting rate of return (ARR)
The ARR method calculates a percentage return provided by the
accounting profits of the project.
The ‘average annual profit’ is after depreciation.
Net cash flow is normally equivalent to ‘profit before depreciation’.
The ARR for a project may be compared with the company's target
return and if higher the project should be accepted.
Faced with a choice of mutually-exclusive investments, the project with
the highest ARR should be chosen
Accounting rate of return (ARR)
The advantages of ARR are as follows:
i. Simple to understand: It is easily understood and easily calculated.
ii. Widely used and accepted.
iii. Considers the whole life of the project.
The disadvantages of ARR are as follows:
i. Ignores the time value of money.
ii. Not a measure of absolute profitability.
iii. Does not consider cash flows.
Internal Rate of Return
Internal rate of return is a method of calculating an investment’s rate of
return.
When calculating IRR, expected cash flows for a project or investment
are given and the NPV equals zero.
Once the internal rate of return is determined, it is typically compared to
a company’s hurdle rate or cost of capital.
Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
The advantages of IRR are as follows:
i. Considers the time value of money.
ii. Simple to interpret.
iii. Method to rank projects for profitability.
The disadvantages IRR are as follows:
i. Provides an incomplete picture of the future.
ii. Does not account for reinvestments.
Net Present Value (NPV)
Net Present Value (NPV) is the value of all future cash flows.
The cash flow can be positive or negative.
Form of intrinsic valuation and is used extensively across finance.
Helps to determine how much an investment, project, or any series of
cash flows is worth.
Net Present Value (NPV)
The advantages of NPV are as follows:
i. Considers the time value of money.
ii. Helps to compare mutually exclusive projects.
iii. Helps quick decision making process.
The disadvantages NPV are as follows:
i. Cannot be used to compare projects of different sizes.
ii. Does not consider any hidden costs, sunk costs etc.
Capital Rationing
Capital rationing occurs when insufficient funds are available to
undertake all beneficial projects.
Strategy used by companies or investors to limit the number of projects
they take on at a time.
Capital rationing is the process through which companies decide how to
allocate their capital among different projects, given that their resources
are not limitless.
Hard capital rationing refers to restraints put on a company by outside
entities, such as banks or other lenders.
Soft capital rationing results from a company's own policies relating to
how it wants to use its capital.
PAYBACK PERIOD
• Duration required to recover amount spent in an
investment.
• Traditional & simple technique for application.
• Has two scenarios: even cash flow & uneven cash flow.
I. Even cash flow: Applied when the cash inflow is even
throughout the years
PBP =
Intial Investment
Annual cash flow
Uneven cash flow: Applied when the cash inflow is uneven
throughout the years
PBP = Year before the recovery of investment + Additional cash flow for
recover of investment
Actual Cashflow received
PAYBACK PERIOD – Uneven Cashflow
PAYBACK PERIOD - Question
Karnataka Soap factory is planning to buy a soap moulding machine for
expansion. The management has identified 2 mutually exclusive machines
which requires an investment of Rs 1,00,000 each. The following are the
cash flows expected:
Year Bhakti Shakti
1 30,000 25,000
2 30,000 25,000
3 30,000 25,000
4 30,000 25,000
5 30,000 25,000
PAYBACK PERIOD - Question
The canteen is planning to invest in automated beverage vending machine,
the management of the canteen has identified 2 machines – Ben & Zen,
each costing Rs 30,000. The following are the estimated profits:
Year 1 2 3 4 5
Ben 10,000 10,000 4,000 6,000 8,000
Zen 8,000 10,000 10,000 6,000 7,000
NET PRESENT VALUE (NPV)
Air Waves corporation is planning to in two technology solutions that
are available: 4G & 5G, costing Rs 5,00,000 & Rs 6,00,000
respectively. The estimated profits are expected to be as follows:
Year 4G 5G PV
1 1,50,000 50,000 0.909
2 2,00,000 1,50,000 0.826
3 2,50,000 2,00,000 0.751
4 1,50,000 3,00,000 0.683
5 1,00,000 2,00,000 0.620
Profitability Index
The initial investment of a project is Rs 1,00,000. The cash
flows generated by the company for 4 years are Rs 40,000;
Rs 30,000; Rs 50,000 and Rs 20,000. Calculate PI at 10%
rate of discount.
