The document discusses capital budgeting, which involves planning long-term investments and uses various methods such as payback period, net present value (NPV), and internal rate of return (IRR) to evaluate project profitability. It differentiates between mutually exclusive and independent projects, elaborates on financing methods, and explains important concepts like profitability index and cost of capital. The document includes illustrations and examples to demonstrate calculations for each method, helping businesses assess investment decisions.

2. 1. Capital Budgeting
• Capital budgeting (or investment appraisal) is the
planning process used to determine whether a
business organization’s long term investments
such as new machinery, replacement machinery,
new plants, new products, and research &
development projects are worth pursuing. It is
budget for major capital, or investment,
expenditures.
• Methods: Payback, Discounted Payback, Net
Present value, Profitability Index, Internal Rate of
Return

3. 2. Independent vs Mutually Exclusive
Projects
Mutually Exclusive Projects
While selecting the most attractive project from among the alternative projects, the
acceptance of one project automatically entails the exclusion of other alternatives.
Independent Projects
The decision regarding any one project has no effect on the decision to accept or
reject another project

4. 3.Payback Period (Conventional)
If the annual receipts are not uniform, the payback period is at that period,
where cumulative cash flows equals zero (using a graph)
Payback period is calculated by dividing the initial payment (Cost) by annual
receipts, if the annual receipts are uniform
The time (years) a Project will take to pay back its cost (initial Investment) is
called the Payback Period, which is a method of project screening.

14. 5. Net Present Value
(Net Present Worth)
• The net present value (NPV) of a time series of
cash flows, both incoming and outgoing, is
defined as the sum of the present values (PVs) of
the individual cash flows.
• In the case when all future cash flows are
incoming and the only outflow of cash is the
initial cost, the NPV is simply the PV of future
cash flows minus the purchase price (which is its
own PV).
• Each cash inflow/outflow is discounted back to its
present value (PV). Then they are summed.

16. Business Decision based on NPV
Value of NPV Meaning Business Decisions
NPV > 0
The investment would add value to the
firm
The project may be accepted
NPV < 0
The investment would subtract value
from the firm
The project should be rejected
NPV = 0
The investment would neither gain nor
lose value for the firm
We should be indifferent in the decision
whether to accept or reject the project.

17. Illustration Question: 1
A corporation must decide whether to introduce a
new product line. The new product will have
startup costs, operational costs, and incoming
cash flows over six years. This project will have an
immediate (n=0) cash outflow of SR 100,000
(which might include machinery, and employee
training costs). Other cash outflows for years 1–6
are expected to be SR 5,000 per year. Cash
inflows are expected to be SR 30,000 each for
years 1–6. There are no cash flows expected after
year 6. The required rate of return is 10%.
Calculate the NPV.

19. Conclusion for the Problem
• Since the NPV is greater than zero, it would be
better to invest in the project than to do
nothing, and the corporation should invest in
this project if there is no mutually exclusive
alternative with a higher NPV.

20. Illustration Question: 2
Tiger Machine Tool Company is considering acquiring a new
metal-cutting machine. The required initial investment of
SR 76,000 and the projected cash benefits over the
project’s 4 year life are as follows. You have been asked by
the CEO of the company to evaluate the economic merit of
acquisition. The interest rate is 12% .

22. 6. Profitability Index
• Profitability index (PI) is the ratio of payoff to
investment of a proposed project.
• It is a useful tool for ranking projects because
it allows you to quantify the amount of value
created per unit of investment.

23. Calculation of Profitability Index

The Cash Flow calculated does not include the investment made in the project
A profitability index of 1 indicates breakeven
Rules for selection or rejection of a project:
•If PI > 1 then accept the project
•If PI < 1 then reject the project

24. Illustration Question-1

2 12000
3 10000
4 9000
5 6000
Question: One business man wanted to invest SR
40,000 and the life of the machines is 5 years.
Based on the following information calculate the
NPV at 10% and PI of the project.

25. Solution
Year Cash flow Present value (SR)
1 18000/(1+0.10)1 16363
2 12000/(1+0.10)2 9917
3 10000/(1+0.10)3 7519
4 9000/(1+0.10)4 6147
5 6000/(1+0.10)5 3727
Total Present Value 43673

26. Solution (Continues)
Total present value = 43673
Investment = 40000
NPV = Total present value – Investment
= 43673 – 40000 = 3673
PI = Total Present Value/ Initial Investment
= 43673 / 40000
= 1.091
Since the value of PI is >1, accept the project

27. 7. Internal Rate of Return
• The internal rate of return (IRR) is a rate of return used
in capital budgeting to measure and compare the
profitability of investments.
• The term internal refers to the fact that its calculation
does not incorporate environmental factors (e.g., the
interest rate or inflation).
• The internal rate of return on an investment or project
is the "annualized effective compounded return of
rate" or discount rate that makes the Net Present Value
(NPV) of all cash flows (both positive and negative)
from a particular investment equal to zero.

28. Internal Rate of Return (Continues)
• The IRR of an investment is the Discount Rate at
which the Net Present Value of costs (negative
cash flows) of the investment equals the Net
Present value of the benefits (positive cash flows)
of the investment.
• It is a commonly used as a measure of investment
efficiency.
• The higher a project's internal rate of return, the
more desirable it is to undertake the project.

29. Calculation of IRR
Given the period (n), cash flow (Cn) total number of
periods (N) and the net present value (NPV), the internal
rate of return (r) is given by in:

34. 8. Methods of Financing
Sources of financing
1. Equity financing 2. Debt financing
Source of financing is considered after the
selection of an investment project

35. Equity Financing
Investment Banker
1. Investment banker will buy the issue from the Company at a discounted price (included in
flotation cost) and determine the market price to sell it to public
Issuing Common Stocks
Flotation Cost is involved: Includes Investment Banker’s fees, lawyer's fees, Accountants’ costs,
etc.
Equity Financing includes
1. Use of retained earnings or paid to
stockholders
2. Issuing stocks (common)

36. Debt Financing
Bond Financing
Interest is paid annually and the principal amount is
repaid when the bond matures
Debt financing includes
1. Short-term borrowing
from banks
2. Sale of long-term bonds
(fixed period)

37. 9. Capital Structure
Example: A debt ratio of 0.4 indicates that 40% of the
capital is borrowed and remaining from the equity
It shows the percentage of total Capital provided by
borrowed funds
The ratio of total debt to total capital is called as debt ratio
or Capital Structure

38. Major Factor affecting Capital
Structure Policy of a Company
1. Capital Structure policy involves the trade-off
between risk and return (The optimal capital
structure make a balance between business risks
and expected future earnings).
2. Major reason for using debt is that, interest is a
deductible expense for business operations.
3. Financial flexibility – The ability to raise capital
on reasonable terms from the financial market.

39. 10. Cost of Capital
Cost of Debt
Debt financing includes term loans and bonds
Since interest payments on both are
deductible, the effective cost will be reduced
Cost of Equity
It involves an Opportunity Cost between
retaining or to share with stockholders
Investors (People) are looking for Cash
dividends & gains from rise in share prices
Most Companies finance major portion of their Capital Budget with long-
term debt (Bonds) and may use Preferred Stock as a source of Capital
