The document discusses project appraisal, which involves assessing the viability of investment propositions through methods like economic, financial, market, and technical analyses. It outlines the stages of project evaluation, including idea definition, pre-feasibility, feasibility studies, and environmental assessments, emphasizing the importance of a thorough analysis to minimize project failure rates. It also details various financial evaluation methods such as Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and profitability index, alongside critical questions for each assessment stage.

2. Meaning of Project
Appraisal
1
Project Appraisal:
Project Appraisal Meaning : Project appraisal means “the assessment of a
project”. It is made for both proposed (Ex-ante analysis) and executed projects
(Post-ante analysis). For an financial institution project appraisal “is a process
whereby a leading financial institution makes an independent and objective
assessment of the various aspects of an investment proposition for arriving at a
financial decision and is aimed at determining the viability of the project”
Methods of Project Appraisal: Appraisal of a proposed project includes,
Economic Analysis, Financial Analysis, Market Analysis, Technical Feasibility
and Managerial Competence.

3. THE ROLE AND COMPONENTS OF PROJECT APPRAISAL
l. The Role of Project Appraisal
 To stop bad projects
 To prevent good projects from being destroyed
 To determine if components of projects are
consistent
 To assess the sources and magnitudes of risks
 To determine how to reduce risk and efficiently
share risk
2

4. IMPACT OF ANALYSIS
 Quality of analysis has been shown by the World
Bank to be a key determinant of the success of a
project’s performance.
 A proper analysis will cause the project to be
redesigned so that it is less likely to fail
 World Bank experience shows that the probability of
failure for poorly prepared projects within 3 years of
a project’s life is 7 times that of well-prepared
projects
 Poorly prepared projects have 16 times as high a
probability of failure within 5 years as compared to
well-prepared projects

EVALUATION
II. Stages in Project Appraisal and Approval
Why should a project evaluation be done in stages?
A. Idea and Project Definition
B. Pre-Feasibility Study
C. Feasibility and Financing
D. Detailed Design
E. Project Implementation
F. Ex-Post Evaluation
4

6. A. IDEA AND PROJECT DEFINITION
 Sources of Ideas for
Investments:
 Key questions
a. Where is the demand?
b. Is this project
consistent with the
organization’s
expertise, current plans
and strategy for the
future?
5

7. PROJECT DEFINITION
 Project definition is defined broadly to include the
scope and specification of the objectives of the project,
its output, its different stakeholders, its economic and
social benefits, and the data requirements.
 Most of the project’s data requirements are identified in
the pre-feasibility and feasibility stages of the project
where the project’s variables and parameters are
analyzed in detail.
 The data are generally arranged in what we refer to as
“building blocks” because they constitute the
foundation for the different types of analyses.
6

8. B. Pre-Feasibility Study
• Examines overall potential
of project
• Should maintain same
quality of information
across all variables
• Wherever possible should
use secondary information
• Biased information better
than mean values
• Mainly done by the
promoter of the project, also
called as the first look at the
project.
Key questions:
a. Is this project financially and
economically feasible
throughout the project’s
life?
b. What are the key variables?
c. What are the sources of risk?
d. How can the risk be reduced
7

9. C. FEASIBILITY STUDY
 Focus is on improving accuracy of the key
variables
 Alternatives for reducing risk are examined in
detail.
 Some primary data may be needed.
 Also called as the second look to the project and
is usually done by financial institution.
Key questions:
 Is project financially attractive to all interested
parties in activity?
 What is level of uncertainty of key variables?
 Can final decision for approval be taken?

and the reason for the same. Selection of suitable know-how for the said project based
on technical and economic evaluation from available data. Prospective collaborator and
terms of collaborations.

 Requirements of power, water and others including fuel, steam, inert gas etc., and their
specifications.

discharged as such, Effluent treatment suggested

13. BUILDING BLOCK A: TECHNICAL OR ENGINEERING MODULE

 Quantities of inputs by type needed for investment
and operation
 Labor required by type and time
 Input prices and sources of supply

14. MODULE B: FINANCIAL APPRAISAL
Cost of the project and means of financing
Profitability statement
Break even analysis
Fund flow statement
Balance sheet projections
Financial ratios
Sensitivity analysis
13

15. A) COST OF PROJECT
 The major components of cost of project involve land and
building, plant and machinery, equipment for auxiliary services
like transportation, insurance, duty, clearing, loading and
unloading charges etc. It includes consultancy and know how
charges , recurring royalty payment, preliminary expenses
such as cost of incorporation, preparation of feasibility
reports, market surveys, pre operative expenses like-
salary, travelling, start up expenses, mortgage expense incurred
before commencement of commercial production. Provision for
contingencies to meet the unforeseen expenses, price escalation
or other expenses which have been inadvertently omitted like
margin for working capital requirements required to complete
the production cycle, interest during construction period etc.
also a part of capital cost of the project.
14

16. B) PROFITABILITY STATEMENT
 Also known as Income and
Expenditure is prepared after
considering the net sales and
details of direct cost/
expenses.. ECONOMIC
APPRAISAL includes
scrutinizing all items of cost
to ensure that these are
realistic and achievable. The
past trend of performance in
an industry and other
environmental factors
influencing the cost and
revenue items should also be
considered.
15

17. C) BREAK EVEN ANALYSIS
 It helps in knowing the level of output and sales at which the
business enterprise just breaks even i.e. there is no profit-
no loss. Breakeven point in an algebraic equation can be
put as under:-
 BREAK EVEN POINT = TOTAL FIXED COST
(Sales price per unit) - (Variable cost per
unit)
16

18. D) FUND FLOW STATEMENT
 Often described as the statement of movement of funds, it is used
to know where got, where gone of funds. It is derived by
comparing the successive balance sheets on two specified dates
and finding out the net changes in the various items appearing in
the balance sheets. Critical analysis shows various changes in the
sources and application of funds to ultimately give the position of
net funds available with the business for repayment of the loans.
17

19. E) RATIO ANALYSIS
 Analysis of the ratios over a period of time tells about liquidity
position, management stake in the business, capacity to service the
debts etc. E.g.
18
DEBT EQUITY RATIO
DEBT SERVICE
COVERAGE RATIO
CURRENT RATIO

METHODS OF PROJECT
APPRAISAL

26. NET PRESENT VALUE
(NPV)
 Meaning: NPV is equal to the present value of
all future free cash flows less the investment’s
initial outlay. It measures the net value of a
project in today’s dollars.

27. PROFITABILITY INDEX
(BENEFIT-COST RATIO)
 Meaning: PI is the ratio of the present value of the future
free cash flows (FCF) to the initial outlay. It yields the same
accept/reject decision as NPV.
PI = PV of FCF/Initial outlay
.

28. INTERNAL RATE
OF RETURN (IRR)
 Meaning: IRR is the discount rate that equates the present
value of a project’s future net cash flows with the project’s
initial cash outlay.
.

29. THE PAYBACK PERIOD
 Meaning: Number of years needed to recover the
initial cash outlay of a capital budgeting project.
 Decision Rule: Project feasible or desirable if the
payback period is less than or equal to the firm’s
maximum desired payback period. In general,
shorter payback period is preferred while
comparing two projects.
.

30. DISCOUNTED PAYBACK
PERIOD
 The discounted payback period is similar to the traditional
payback period except that it uses discounted free cash flows
rather than actual undiscounted cash flows.
 The discounted payback period is defined as the number of years
needed to recover the initial cash outlay from the discounted free
cash flows.
