What is Capital Budgeting?

Analysis of potential projects.

Long-term decisions; involve large


expenditures.

Very important to firm’s future


Definition of Capital Budgeting

“ Capital budgeting is the planning


process used to determine whether a
firm's long term investments such as
new machinery, replacement
machinery, new plants, new products,
and research development projects
are worth pursuing.
Steps in Capital Budgeting

Estimate
 cash flows (inflows & outflows).

Assess risk
 of cash flows.

Determine
 r = WACC for project.

Evaluate
 cash flows.
What is the difference between independent
and mutually exclusive projects?
Projects are:
independent, if the cash flows of one are unaffected by the acceptance
of the other.
mutually exclusive, if the cash flows of one can be adversely impacted
by the acceptance of the other.
What is the Payback period?

Payback period is the time duration


required to recoup the investment
committed to a project.

Business enterprises following payback


period use "stipulated payback period",
which acts as a standard for screening the
project.
Strengths of Payback

1. Provides an indication of a project’s


risk and liquidity.

2. Easy to calculate and understand.


Weaknesses of Payback

1. Ignores the TVM.

2. Ignores CFs occurring after the


payback period.
Computation Of Payback Period

When the cash inflows are uniform the formula for


payback period is cash outflow divided by annual cash
inflow

When the cash inflows are uneven, the cumulative


cash inflows are to be arrived at and then the payback
period has to be calculated through interpolation.
Average rate of return

ARR is also known as the accounting rate of


return method.

Based upon accounting information rather


than cash flows.
Net Present Value (NPV)

Net present value of an investment/project is the


difference between present value of cash inflows and
cash outflows.

The present values of cash flows are obtained at a


discount rate equivalent to the cost of capital.
Internal Rate Of return

“The internal rate of return (IRR) is


defined as the discount rate that gives
a net present value (NPV) of zero. It
is a commonly used measure of
investment efficiency.”
Profitability Index

Profitability ratio is otherwise referred to as Benefit/Cost


ratio. This is an extention of the Net Present Value Method.
This is relative valuation index and hence is comparable
across different types of projects requiring different quantum
of initial investments.

Profitability index (PI) is the ratio of sent value of cash


inflows to the present value of cash outflows. The present
values of cash flows are obtained at a discount rate equivalent
