17. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Financial analysis seeks to ascertain whether the proposed project will be
financially viable in the sense of being able to meet the burden of servicing debt
and whether the proposed project will satisfy the return expectations of those who
provide the capital. The aspects which have to be looked into while conducting
financial appraisal are:
 Investment outlay & cost of project.
 Means of financing
 Project profitability
 Break-even-point
 Cash flows of the project
 Investment worthwhileness judged in terms of various criteria of merit
 Projected financial position
REJVI AHMED, Feasibility Study, Pentagon, Dept. of Mechanical
Engineering. IUBAT

18. "Investment outlay" refers to the financial resources committed to an investment.
The “cost of project” represents the total of all items of outlay associated with a project which are
supported by long-term funds. The major cost elements of a project are the following:
 Land and site development
 Buildings and civil works
 Plant and machinery
 Technical know-how and engineering fees
 Fixed assets
 Preliminary and capital issue expenses
 Margin money for working capital
 Initial cash losses

INVESTMENT OUTLAY & COST OF PROJECT

19. MEANS OF FINANCING
Means by which a budget deficit is financed or a surplus is used. Means of financing are not included in the budget
totals. The primary means of financing is borrowing from the public. In general, the cumulative amount borrowed
from the public (debt held by the public) will increase if there is a deficit and decrease if there is a surplus, although
other factors can affect the amount that the government must borrow. Those factors, known as other means of
financing, include reductions (or increases) in the government's cash balances, changes in outstanding checks,
changes in accrued interest costs included in the budget but not yet paid, and cash flows reflected in credit
financing accounts.
To meet the cost of project the following means of finance are available:
 Share capital
 Term loans
 Debenture capital
 Deferred credit
 Incentive sources
 Miscellaneous sources REJVI AHMED, Feasibility Study, Pentagon, Dept. of Mechanical

20. PROJECT PROFITABILITY
The Project Profitability report is used to monitor the planned and
real cost related to a project.
• Project Profitability is the state or condition of a project to describe the
yielding of a financial profit or gain from that project. It is a measure of
project operational efficiency in terms of financial benefits. As a rule, it
is calculated by the cost-income ratio.
• Estimation is the major activity that ensures project profitability. Through
estimating project parameters (such as cost, performance and time) it is
possible to determine how the project is changed and to explore current
status of project benefits.

21. BREAK EVEN POINT
• Definition At this point the income of the business exactly equals its expenditure. If
production is enhanced beyond this level, profit shall accrue to the business and if it
is decreased from this level, loss shall be suffered by the business.
The break even point is :-
 The point where the gains equal the losses.
 The point defines when an investment will generate a positive return.
 The point where sales or revenues equal expenses.
 The point where total costs equal total revenues.
 There is no profit made or loss incurred at the break even point.
 It is the lower limit of profit when prices are set and margins are determined.
REJVI AHMED, Feasibility Study, Pentagon, Dept. of Mechanical
Engineering. IUBAT
21

22. • Formula
Break even point
= (Fixed cost) / (Contribution per unit)
Where,
Contribution = Selling cost – Variable cost
Fixed Cost = Contribution - profit

23. CASH FLOWS OF THE PROJECT
When beginning capital-budgeting analysis, it is important to determine a
project's cash flows. These cash flows can be segmented as follows:
1. Initial Investment Outlay
These are the costs that are needed to start the project, such as new
equipment, installation, etc.
2. Operating Cash Flow over a Project's Life
This is the additional cash flow a new project generates.
3. Terminal-Year Cash Flow
This is the final cash flow, both the inflows and outflows, at the end of the
project's life; For example, potential salvage value at the end of a
machine's life.

24. PROJECTED FINANCIAL POSITION
• Projected Financial Statements is summary of various
component projections of revenues and expenses for the
budget period. They indicate the expected net income for
the period.
• Projected Financial Statements are an important tool in
determining the overall performance of a company. They
include the balance sheet, income statement and cash
flow statements to indicate the company performance.

25

26. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
The technical analysis of a project idea can be scrutinized in
detail to evaluate its technical feasibility. Technical analysis
distinct from commercial, financial, economic and
managerial feasibility .Technical feasibility is one of the first
studies that must be conducted after a project has been
identified. In large engineering projects consulting agencies
that have large staffs of engineers and technicians conduct
technical studies dealing with the projects.
REJVI AHMED, Feasibility Study, Pentagon, Dept. of Mechanical
Engineering. IUBAT
26

27. PURPOSE
• To ensure that the project is technically feasible in the sense that all the
inputs required to set up the project are available.
• To facilitate the most optimal formulation of the project in terms of
technology, size, location and so on.
• Choose best alternative

29. LOCATION AND SITE
A thorough & comparative analysis for each potential location
should be made to determine the most ideal side.
It has to consider to following factors:
The accessibility to, & availability of, raw material sources.
The availability of cheap or moderately priced utilities such as
power, water or fuel.
The combine cost of transporting raw materials & fuel to the site.
The proximity to distributing outlets.
The availability of skilled & unskilled labor.
Maps & charts of the proposed site must be included.
REJVI AHMED, Feasibility Study, Pentagon, Dept. of Mechanical
Engineering. IUBAT

30. PLANT SIZE
Determination of an optimum plant size is critical to the success
of a project.
A plant represents sunk costs and any under utilisation of its
capacity means either reduced profits or, for levels below the
Break-Even Point, losses.
It is therefore normally better to build a plant having a capacity
that is likely to be fully utilized quickly, rather than to go in for a
large capacity in the fond hope of a growing share of the market.
 The best possible size of plant is recommended after analysing
the availability, economics, and practicability of different size
options REJVI AHMED, Feasibility Study, Pentagon, Dept. of Mechanical
Engineering. IUBAT
30

31. TECHNOLOGY
Technology is a critical aspect of technical analysis of
any project. So it must be analyze effectively.
For example, a technology which has proven itself in
cold climates may fail in tropical climate.
Technology’s Cost of acquisition, installation, repairs
and maintenance should be analysed properly.
A technology is considered appropriate only if it is
assessed to be satisfactory and relevant
REJVI AHMED, Feasibility Study, Pentagon, Dept. of Mechanical
Engineering. IUBAT
31

32. LAYOUT
The layout should be clearly depicted through diagrams &
descriptions.
 A good layout is characterized by:
Minimum material handling.
Effective space utilization.
 Smooth work flow.
Safe & conductive working area for the workers.
 Safety and sanitation facilities &
Flexibility of arrangements.

36. INFRASTRUCTURAL FACILITIES
Availability and characteristics of roads, bridges, railway facilities
(like station, yards), air transportation, waterways, ports, etc
depending upon their relevance to the assessed requirements of the
project at both implementation and operation stages need to be
studied
A large part of the land area is normally required to be reserved for
service roads, storm water mains, railways, over-ground or
overhead gas, steam, and air pipelines, water reservoirs, and even
harbours for certain large-scale industrial projects.
A detailed study of all such requirements, and of their implications
in terms of time, resources, and approximate costs is necessary to
avoid surprises later on.

37. MANPOWER
The availability in needed numbers, of manpower of
requisite skills where and when required, has to be studied.
manpower covers both the project implementation and the
operation (& maintenance) phases.
In case imparting of training is also involved, timely
availability, and costs, of the training facilities have also to
be assessed.

44. OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY
• Operational feasibility determines if the human resources are available to
operate the system once it has been installed
• Users that do not want a new system may prevent it from becoming operationally
feasible
• Is a measure of how well a proposed system solves the problems, and takes
advantages of the opportunities identified during scope definition and how it
satisfies the requirements identified in the requirements analysis phase of system
development.

45. THE ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS TO HELP IN TESTING
THE OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY OF A SYSTEM
• Does management support the project?
• Are the users not happy with current business practices?
• Will it reduce the time (operation) considerably
• Have the users been involved in the planning and development of the
project?
• Will the proposed system really benefit the organization?
• Does the overall response increase?

science of ecology, which is the study of how living things and the
environment do their thing.
• issues like preserving rain forests, saving endangered species, and
keeping drinking water safe, you're interested in ecological issues.
Ecological things have to do with how plants and animals relate to
each other, in good and bad ways, in specific environments — from
the impact of floods on river insects to how smog harms humans. Just
about anything people do has an ecological impact — for better or
worse.
