INTRODUCTION
In the modern world, all the activities are concerned with the economic activities are
very particular to earning profit through any venture or activities. The entire business
activities are directly related with making profit, a business concern needs finance to meet
all the requirements in economic world. Any kind of business activity depends on the
finance. Hence it is regarded as “The life blood of business enterprise”. It is the backbone of
every business employed in all business activities.
Financial management is the managerial activity which is concerned with the
planning and controlling and of the firm’s financial resources. The subject of financial
management is of immense interest to both academicians and practicing managers. It is of
great interest to academicians because the subject is still developing, and there are still
certain areas where controversies exist for which no unanimous solutions have been reached
as yet. Practicing managers are interested in this subject because among the most crucial
decisions of the firm are those which relate to finance, and an understanding of the theory
of financial management provides them with conceptual and analytical insights to make
those decisions skillfully.
The modern thinking in financial management accords a far greater. Importance to
management in decision-making and formulation of policy financial management
occupies key position in top management and plays a dynamic role in solving complex
management problems. They are now responsible for shaping the fortunes of the enterprise
and are involved in allocation of capital.

Nature of financial management
Financial management is that managerial activity which is concerned with the
planning and controlling of the financial resources. Though it was a branch of economics till
1890, as a separate activity or discipline it is of recent origin still, it has no unique body of
knowledge of his own and draws heavily on economics for its theoretical concept even
today. Business finance may further sub-divide into various categories personal finance,
partnership finance and corporation or company finance as separate activity or discipline it
is of recent origin.
Financial in the modern world is the life of the business economy. We cannot imagine a
business without finance because it is actual point of all business activities.
Finance function has not unique body it is part of economics, accounting
marketing, production and quantitative methods.

Management of the firm’s financial structure
Traditional approach
The traditional approach of the scope of the financial management refers to its
subjects matter. The scope of the finance function was treated by the traditional approach
in the narrow sense of procurement of funds by corporate enterprise to meet their
financing needs are as follows.
The institutional agreement is in the form of financial institution. Which comprise
the organization of the capital market? The financial instruments are through which the
funds are raised from the capital market and the related aspects of practices and the
procedural aspects of capital markets. The legal and accounting relationship is between a
firm and its sources of funds. The coverage of corporations, finance was therefore
conceived to describe the rapidly evolving complex of capital markets institutions
instruments and practices. The first argument against the traditional approach was based
on its emphasis on issues relating to the procedural of funds by corporate enterprises. The
second ground of criticism of the traditional treatment was that the focus was on financing
problem of corporate enterprises.
5
Modern approach
The modern approach views the term financial management in a broad sense and
provides a conceptual and analytical framework for financial decision making.
According to it, the finance function covers both acquisitions of fund as well as their
allocations. Thus apart from the issues involved in acquiring external funds, the main concern
of financial management is the efficient and wise allocation of funds to various as an defined
in a broad sense, it is viewed as an integral part of overall management.
The financial experts today are of the view that finance is an integral part of the
overall management rather than mere mobilization of the funds. The finance manager,
under this concept, has to see that the company maintains sufficient funds to carry out the
plans. At the same time, he has also to ensure a wise application of funds in the productive
purposes. Thus the present day finance manager is required to consider all the financial
activities of planning, organizing, raising, allocating and controlling of funds.
The modern approach view the term financial management in a broad sense
and provides a conceptual and analytical framework for financial decision making. According
to it, the financefunction covers both acquisitions of funds as well as their allocation.
Profit maximization
Wealth maximization

Profit maximization
The main objective of any business enterprise is maximization of profits. Each
company raises its finance by way of issue of shares to public. Investors purchase these
shares in the hope of getting maximum profits from the company as dividend. It is possible
only where the company’s goal to earn “profit” can beyond in two senses.
As an owner-oriented concept.
Operational concept.
As owner – oriented concept it refers to the amount and share of national which is
paid to the owners of business I.e., those who supply capital. It is an operational concept and
signifies economic efficiency.
Higher profits are the parameters of its efficiency on all fronts that is production,
salesand management. A few replace the concept of profit maximization to fair profits means
general
rate of profit earned by similar is to safeguard the economic interest of persons who directly
or indirectly connected with the company that is shareholders, creditors and employees the all
such interested parties must get the maximum return for their contributions. That is
possible only when the company earns higher profits or sufficient profits to discharge its
obligations to them. Therefore, the goal of maximization of profits said to be the best criteria
of the decision-making.
Thus, the retinal behind maximization of profits is simple because profits are the test
of economic efficiency. It is a measuring rod by which the economic performance of the
company can be judged.
Profits lead to efficient allocation of resources.
It ensures maximum social welfare
Favorable arguments for profit maximization
The following important points are in support of the profit maximization objectives of
thebusiness concern
Main aim is earning profit.
Profit is the parameter of the business operation.
Profit reduces risk of the business concern.
Profit is the main source of finance.
Profitability meets the social needs also.

8
Unfavorable arguments for profit maximization
The following important points are against are the objectives of profit maximization
Profit maximization leads to exploiting workers and consumers.
Profit maximization creates immoral practices such as corrupts practice, unfair
tradepractices, etc.
Profit maximization objectives leads to inequalities among the stake holders
such ascustomers, suppliers, public shareholders, etc.
Wealth maximization
The worth of a course of action can similarly be judged in terms of the value of the
benefits it produces less the cost of undertakings.
The wealth maximization objective is consistent with the objectives of maximization
of owner’s economic welfare that is their welfare the wealth of owners of company is
reflected by the market value of company shares. Thus the fundamental principle of the
company is to maximize the value of its shares on the basis of day to day fluctuations of the
market price.
9
Favorable arguments for wealth maximization
Wealth maximization is superior to the maximization because the main aim of
thebusiness concern is to improve the value or wealth off the share holders.
Wealth maximization considers the comparison of the value to cost associated
withbusiness operation. It provides extract value of the business concern.
Wealth maximization considers both time and risk of the business concern.
Wealth maximization provides efficient allocation of resources.
It ensures the economic interest of the society.

Major areas of finance functions
A firm performs finance functions simultaneously and continuously in the normal
course of the presences. They do not occur in sequence. Finance functions call for skillful
planning, control and executors of a firm’s activity.
1. Investment Decision
It relates to the allocation of capital are involve to decision to commit funds to long-
term assets which would yield benefits in future. It is one very significant aspect is the task of
measuring the prospective profitability of new investments future benefits are difficult to
measure and cannot be predicted with continuity because of the uncertain future capital
budgeting involves risk
2. Financing decision
Broadly a finance manager must declare when, where and how to acquire funds to
meet the firms investments needs. The finance manager must strive to obtain the best
financing mix or optimum capital structure of this firm. The use of debt affects the return and
rise of shareholders.It may increase the return of the equity funds. A proper balance will have
to be struck between rises and retain.
3. Dividend decision
The finance manager must decide whether the firm should distribute all profits or
certain term or distribute a portion and retain the balance.
The dividend policy should be determined in terms of its impact on the market
value of the firms share. Thus, shareholders are indifferent to the firm’s dividend policy the
finance manager must decide to the optimum dividend payout ratio.
4. Liquidity decision
Along with terms of funds current assets should also be managed efficiently for
safeguarding the firm against the dangerous of ill liquidity and insolvency. An investment in
current assets affects the firm profitability, liquidity and risk. In order to ensure that neither
insufficient nor unnecessary funds are invested finance manager develops some techniques of
managing current assets.
11
NEED FOR THE STUDY
Capital Budgeting decisions are those decisions that involve current out lays in
return for a stream of benefits in the future years .The capital budgeting decision are often
said to be the most important part of the corporate financial management. Any decision that
requires the use of recourses is a capital budgeting decision; thus the capital budgeting
decision effect the profitability of a firms for long period, therefore the importance of these
decisions is obliviously. Even single wrong decision by firm may endanger the existence of
the firms as profitable firms.
The most important features if capital budgeting decisions and which makes the
capital budgeting so significant is that these decisions have long term effect on the risk
and return composition of the firm. These designs effete the future position of the firms to a
considerable extent as capital budgeting have long term implication and consequences.
The capital budgeting decision effect the capacity and strength of firms of face
the competition .a firm may lose competitiveness if decision to modernize is delayed or not
rightly taken.

CHAPTER-2
INDUSTRY PROFILE.
17
INDUSTRY PROFILE
In the most general sense of the word, cement is a binder, a substance that sets and
hardens independently, and can bind other materials together. The word "cement" traces to
the Romans, who used the term opus caementicium to describe masonry resembling modern
concrete that was made from crushed rock with burnt lime as binder. The volcanic ash and
pulverized brick additives that were added to the burnt lime to obtain a hydraulic binder were
later referred to as cementum, cimentum,
cäment and cement.Cement used in construction is characterized as hydraulic or non-hydraulic.
Hydraulic cements (e.g., Portland cement) harden because of hydration, chemical
reactions that occur independently of the mixture's water content. They can harden even
underwater or when constantly exposed to wet weather. The chemical reaction that results
when the anhydrous cement powder is mixed with water produces hydrates that are not water-
soluble.
Non-hydraulic cements (e.g., lime and gypsum plaster) must be kept dry in order to
retain their strength.

CEMENT INDUSTRY IN INDIA
Introduction
Cement is a key infrastructure industry. It has been decontrolled from price and
distribution on 1st March, 1989 and deli censed on 25th July, 1991. However, the
performance of the industry and prices of cement are monitored regularly. The constraints
faced by the industry are reviewed in the Infrastructure Coordination Committee meetings
held in the Cabinet Secretariat under the Chairmanship of Secretary (Coordination). Its
performance is also reviewed by the Cabinet Committee on Infrastructure.
India, being the second largest cement producer in the world after China.With the
government of India giving boost to various infrastructure projects, housing facilities and
road networks, the cement industry in India is currently growing at an enviable pace. More
growth in the Indian cement industry is expected in the coming years. It is also predicted that
the cement production in India would rise to 236.16 MT in FY11. It's also expected to rise to
262.61 MT in FY12.
Industry Background
The history of the cement industry in India dates back to the 1889 when a Kolkata-
based company started manufacturing cement from Argillaceous. But the industry started
getting the organized shape in the early 1900s. In 1914, India Cement Company Ltd was
established in Porbandar with a capacity of 10,000 tons and production of 1000 installed. The
World War I gave the first initial thrust to the cement industry in India and the industry
started growing at a fast rate in terms of production, manufacturing units, and installed
capacity. This stage was referred to as the Nascent Stage of Indian Cement Company. In
1927, Concrete Association of India was set up to create public awareness on the utility of
cement as well as to propagate cement consumption.
The cement industry in India saw the price and distribution control system in the year
1956, established to ensure fair price model for consumers as well as manufacturers. Later in
1977, government authorized new manufacturing units (as well as existing units going for
capacity enhancement) to put a higher price tag for their products. A couple of years later,
government introduced a three-tier pricing system with different pricing on cement produced
in high, medium and low cost plants
19
Major Players in Indian Cement Industry
There are a number of players prevailing in the cement industry in India. However,
there are around 20 big names that account for more than 70% of the total cement production
in India. The total installed capacity is distributed over around 129 plants, owned by 54 major
companies across the nation.
Following are some of the major names in the Indian cement industry:
Company Production Installed Capacity
ACC 17,902 18,640
Gujarat Ambuja 15,094 14,860
Ultratech 13,707 17,000
Grasim 14,649 14,115
India Cements 8,434 8,810
JK Group 6,174 6,680
Jaypee Group 6,316 6,531
Century 6,636 6,300
Madras Cements 4,550 5,470
Technology Up-gradation
Cement industry in India is currently going through a technological change as a lot of
up gradation and assimilation is taking place. Currently, almost 93% of the total capacity is
based entirely on the modern dry process, which is considered as more environment-friendly.
Only the rest 7% uses old wet and semi-dry process technology. There is also a huge scope of
waste heat recovery in the cement plants, which lead to reduction in the emission level and
hence improves the environment.
Total production
Major players in cement production are Ambuja cement, Aditya Cement, J K Cement
and L & T cement. India’s cement industry has witnessed tremendous growth on the back of
continuously rising demand from the housing sector, increased activity in infrastructure, and
20
construction boom, according to RNCOS’ latest research report titled, ‘Indian Cement
IndustryForecast to 2012’.
The country’s cement production is projected to grow at a compound annual growth
rate (CAGR) of around 12 per cent during 2020-21 - 2021-22 to reach 303 million metric
tonnes (MMT), as per the RNCOS research report.
India is the second largest cement producing country with 137 large and 365 mini
cement plants. The large plants employ 120,000 people, according to a recent report on
the Indian cement industry published by Cement Manufacturers Association (CMA). Cement
production in the country is expected to increase to 315-320 million tonne (MT) by end of
this financial year from the current 300 MT.
The cement production touched 14.50 MT, while the cement dispatches’ quantity was
registered at 14.28 MT during April 2011, as per provisional data released by Cement
Manufacturer’s Association (CMA).
Government Initiatives
The cement industry is pushing for increased use of cement in highway and road
construction. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has planned to invest US$ 354
billion in road infrastructure by 2012.
Housing, infrastructure projects and the nascent trend of concrete roads would
continue to accelerate the consumption of cement.
Increased infrastructure spending has been a key focus area. Finance Minister Pranab
Mukherjee has proposed to earmark US$ 47 billion for infrastructure development during
2011- 12.
The infrastructure sector has received an impetus in the form of increased funds and
tax related incentives offered to attract investors for tapping the infrastructure opportunities
around the country. Introduction of tax free bonds, creation of infrastructure debt funds,
formulating a comprehensive policy for developing public private partnership projects are
some announcements which will give a fillip to the infrastructure sector which is the
backbone of any economy.
New Investments
After exceeding the projected cement production of 290 MT, the Cement
Manufacturers Association (CMA) is targeting a production increase up to 320 MT by the
year end.

STRENGTHS
• State of the art plant
Bharathi cement corporation Limited has set up most modern cement plant with state
of the art technology at Nallalingayapalli, Kamalapuram mandal, Kadapa district of Andhra
Pradesh.
This area is known for its superior quality Narzi lime stone deposits , possessing high
lime content that gives high early strength and ultimate long term strength. Another
characteristic feature of this lime stone is low alkali, magnesia and low chloride contents
which are highly desirable parameters for concrete durability.
The state of the art technology adopted at the plant consists of Vertical Roller mill of
LOESCHE, Germany for grinding of cement to achieve the optimum fineness, and controlled
particle size distribution of cement particles
• German Technology
The Bharathi Cement plant has the most advanced Vertical Roller Mill (Type 63.3)
from LOESCHE, Germany. This mill has a capacity of producing 360 tons per hour and is
equipped
25
with a 6,700 KW gear box. The mill is designed to produce a range of high quality cements
such as Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), Portland Pozzolona Cement (PPC), Pozzolona
Slag Cement (PSC) and Ground slag at varying fineness. It has a rated capacity of 360tph
OPC at 3000 Blaine and 300tph of ground slag at 4000 Blaine
• Homogenized mining
• Online process control
• Exclusive R&D facility for continuous product improvement
VRM Cement mill-The largest in the world
Loesche vertical roller mills are the most efficient mills in the world and achieve very
high throughputs. They are extremely maintenance friendly. Service tasks can be carried out
quickly. Downtimes are reduced to a minimum.
The Loesche grinding principle combines a horizontal grinding table with large
tapered roller under hydro pneumatic loading- the best possible compromise between output
and wear. The product quality can be enhanced by altering the classifier speed. All Loesche
mills can be started with grinding rollers raised. Metal to metal contact between grinding
parts does not occur.Their quiet, smooth operation is appreciated.
In Bharathi Cement the most advanced vertical roller mill from Loesche, Germany
has been commissioned. The mill has a capacity of producing 360 MT/hour and is equipped
with 6,700 Kw gearbox. The mill is designed to produce a range of high quality cements such
as Ordinary Portland Cement, Portland Pozzolana Cement, Portland Slag cement and ground
slag at varying fineness. It has a rated capacity of 360 tph opc at 3000 Blaine and 300 tph of
Ground slag at 4000 Blaine. The high flexibility of the system enables to produce cements of
6 different types from the same mill. Switching from one product to other can be done within
minutes.
• Robotic Labs
A typical QCX/RoboLab configuration consists of a standard industrial robot placed
in the centre of a circular arrangement of sample preparation and analytical equipment.
Samples normally arrive automatically from the connected automatic sample transport
system, but may also be entered via operator sample conveyors or special input/output
magazines.
QCX/RoboLab offers a very high flexibility in terms of the number and types of
equipment handled by the robot. Supported, fully automated preparation & analysis
disciplines
26
relevant to the cement industry include powder or fused bead preparation for X-ray analysis,
particle sizing by laser or by conventional sieving, colour analysis, Carbon/Sulphur/Moisture
combustion analysis, physical testing and collection of shift/daily composites. For the typical
cement lab project a throughput capacity of 10-20 samples will apply; but higher numbers in
one robot cell are achievable.
The QCX computer integrates the system components. It identifies incoming samples,
downloads the relevant sample-handling specification and controls all intelligent devices in
the configuration. Sequence control includes priority handling, intelligent handling of
equipment failure situations and much more.
QCX/RoboLab (and QCX/Auto Prep) provides high quality in sample preparation
and analysis. Quality not only meets the performance of 'the very best lab technician', but is
highly consistent over time. Thus, there are no fluctuations from shift to shift in analytical
levels due to small differences in the practical procedures undertaken by human operators.
• Tamper-Proof Packing
When cement bags are dumped on the ground, the impact causes cement to spill out
of the bag. This causes considerable loss, considering that some projects require thousands of
bags, but you incur no such loss with Bharathi Cement.
Bharathi Cement is packed in fully imported, tamper-proof PP laminated bags, which
do not allow the minutest of cement particles to spill. This ensures accurate weight and also
eliminates any possibility of pilferage. This technique of packaging is also eco-friendly.
The cement religiously processed and produced is packed in specially designed
imported polypropylene bags which are dust proof and tamper proof. This special package
ensures full quantity (i.e. 50Kg net) cement in every bag and chances of adulteration are
totally eliminated.
Products
Bharathi Cement produces a range of cements with distinctly superior quality.
Produced with the finest raw materials, using cutting-edge German technology and packed in
tamper-proofbags, Bharathi Cements are the ultimate in quality.
• OPC 53 Grade

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
CAPITAL BUDGETING
Capital budgeting is a required managerial tool. One duty of a financial manager is to
choose investments with satisfactory cash flows and rates of return. Therefore, a financial
manager must be able to decide whether an investment is worth undertaking and be able to
choose intelligently between two or more alternatives. To do this, a sound procedure to
evaluate, compare, and select projects is needed. This procedure is called capital budgeting.
Many formal methods are used in capital budgeting, including the techniques such as
Definitions:
According To Charles T Horngren, “capital budgeting is long – term planning for
makingand financing proposed capital outlays”.
31
OBJECTIVES OF CAPITAL BUDGETING
It determines the capital projects which work can be started during the budget period
aftertaking into account their urgent and the expected rate of return on each project.
It estimates the expenditure that would have to be incurred on capital, projects
approvedby the management together with the source from which the required
Founds would be obtained.
It restricts the capital expenditure on projects within authorized limits.
A business organization has to face quite the problem of capital investment decisions
capital investment refers to investment in projects whose results would be available only after
a year. The investments in these projects are a quite heavy and to be made immediately but
the returns will be available only after a period to time’s following are same of the case’s
where heavy capital investment may be necessary.
Replacements
Expansion
A firm nay has to expand its productions capacity on account of high demand for its
products as inadequate production capacity. This will need additional capital investment.
Diversification
A business may like to reduce its risk by operating in several markets rather than in a
single market .In such an ever, capital investment may become necessary for purchase of new
machinery and facilities to handle the new products.
32
Miscellaneous
A firm may have to invest money in project which do not directly helps in achieving;
profit. For example installation of pollutions control equipment many by necessary on
account oflegal requirement. Thus founds will be required for such purposes also.
Capital budgeting decisions are among the most crucial and critical business
decisions; special care should be taken in making these decisions on account of the following
reasons.
The firms will feel the effects capital budgeting decision over at long period and wither
fore they have a decisive influence on the rate and directions for the growth of the firm.
Irreversible decisions
In most cases capital budgeting decisions are irreversible this is because it is very
difficult to find a market for the capital assets
The capital budgeting decisions require assessment of future events, which are uncertain
.It, is really a default risk to estimate the probable future event the probable benefit and
costsaccurately in quantitative term because of economic political social and technologic
factors
The various steps involved in capital budgeting process depend upon large number of factors
such as size of the concern, nature of projects, their numbers, complexities and diversities and
so on. The following five steps are involved in the process of capital budgeting.
Project generation
Project evaluation
33
Project selection
Project execution
Follow-up
Project Generation
Project Evaluation
This process deals with judging the suitability of a project by applying various
criteria. Thus the process of project evaluation involves estimating the costs and benefits in
terms of cash flows, and selecting an appropriate criterion for judging the desirability of the
projects.
Project Selection
This step deals with screening and selecting the projects. Usually, projects under
consideration can be screened at various levels of management. But the final approval of
them should be given by the top management.
Project Execution
After the projects are selected, the funds are to be allocated for them. Such a formal
plan for the allocation of fund is known as capital budget. The top management or executive
committee should ensure that funds are spent as per the allocation made in the capital
budgets.
Follow-up
Follow-up deals with comparison of actual performance with the budgeted data.
Thiswill ensure better forecasting and also help in sharpening the technique of forecasting.
It is a many sides activity, it includes searching for new and more profitable
investment proposals investigating engineering and marketing considerations to predict the
consequences of accepting the investment and making economic analysis to determine the
34
profit potential of eachinvestment proposal, its basic features can be summarized as follows.
35
Potentiality of making large anticipated profits i.e., the possibility of anticipating
futureprofits.
Involves high degree of risk. A high degree of risk is involved since future is uncertain.
Involves relatively long period between outlay and anticipated returns. There is a
longgap between cash out flow and future cash flows.
On the basis of the above discussion it can be concluded that capital budgeting
consists in planning the development of available capital for the purpose of maximizing the
long term profitability of the firm.
36
Investment decisions generally include expansion, acquisition, modernization and
replacement of the long term assets. Decision like the change in the methods of sales
distribution, or an advertisement campaign or an research and development programme have
long –term implications for the firm’s expenditures and benefit, and therefore, they should
alsobe evaluated as investment decisions.
The following are the features of investment decisions:
Capital budgeting decisions involve the exchange of current funds for the benefits
to beachieved in future.
The future benefits are expected to be realized over a series of years
The funds are invested in non-flexible and long term activities.
They are irreversible decisions.
A relatively high degree of risk;
Relatively long time period between initial outlay and anticipated returns.
Growth: the effect of investment decisions extend into the future and have to be
endured for a longer period than the consequences of the current operating
expenditure. A wrong decision can prove disastrous for the continued survival of the
firm; unwanted or unprofitable expansion of assets will result in heavy operating costs
to the firm. On the other hand, inadequate investment in assets would make it difficult
for the firm tocompete successfully and maintain its market share.
Risk: a long-term commitment of funds may also change the risk complexity of the
firm. If the adoption of an investment increases average gain but causes frequent
fluctuationsin its earnings, the firm will become more risky.
37
Funding: investment decisions generally involve large amount of funds which make it
imperative for the firm to plan its investment programmes very carefully and make an
advance arrangement for procuring finances internally or externally.
Complexity: investment decisions are among the firm’s most difficult decisions. It is
really a complex problem to correctly estimate the future cash flow of an investment.
The uncertainty in cash flow is caused by economic, political, social and technological
forces.
There are several methods for evaluating and ranking the capital investment
proposals. In case of all these methods the main emphasis is on the return which will be
derived on the capital invested in the projects.
Traditional methods:
38
Initial investment
Payback period =
Annual cash inflow
The payback period can be used as criteria to accept or reject an investment proposal.
A project whose actual payback period is more than what has been predetermined by the
management will be straight away rejected. While taking into account the reciprocal cost will
be the maximum acceptable payback period.
Advantages
Disadvantages
It fails to consider the period over which an investment is likely to fetch incomes.
It ignores the value of money.
This method does not take into consideration the cash flows beyond the payback period.
The amount of average net profit after taxes and “Average Investment” are calculated as
39
Total net profit after taxes
A. Average net profit after tax =
No. of years
Advantages
Disadvantages
This method is like payback period method, ignores the time value of money.
This method cannot be applied to a situation where investment in a project is to
make inparts.
40
Discounted cash flow techniques
The equation for calculating NPV in case of conventional cash flows can be put as
follows.
A1 A2 A3 An
NPV = + + + .............. + C
1 2 3 n
(1+r) (1+r) (1+r) (1+r)
Where
NPV = Net present value, A1, A2, A3 ................. An = Annual cash inflows.
(Or)
NPV = present value of cash inflow - present value of cash outflow.
41
Accept or reject criteria
Net present value be used as an “accepted or rejection” in case the NPV is positive,
the project should be accepted. However, if the NPV is negative the project should be
rejected. Symbolically represents
Disadvantages
It may not give good results while comparing project with unequal lives and investment.
It is not easy to determine an appropriate discount rate.
As compared to the traditional methods the net present value method is more
difficult tounderstand.
2. Profitability Index
Profitability index is one of the methods of evaluating the investment proposal. It is
also called as benefit cost ratio and measures the relationship between present values of cash
out flows and cash inflows. Thus, it can be calculated by using formula.
42
Accept or reject criteria
The proposal is accepted if the profitability index is more than one and rejected in case the
profitability index is less than one. In case of mutually exclusive projects and capital
rationing situation projects are ranked in orders of their profitability index and accepted.
Advantages:
Disadvantages
It involves more calculations than the traditional methods and hence it is very
difficult tounderstand.
In some cases of mutually exclusive nature, P.I is interior to N.P.V method.
(Or)
So at IRR
Cash in flows
=1
Cash out flows
Relationship between Payback period& Rate of Return by using PBP we can find the IRR
.we follow “Two Methods” to find the IRR.
43
When Fixed Annuity of Cash Inflows.
In the case of Mixed Stream.
We can choose the Fixed Annuity of cash flows method.
IRR=r-(PBP-DFr/DFrl-
DFrh)*rWhere
R= rate of return
of higher rate
(Or)
Where
LR = lower rate of
returns
HR = higher rate of
return
Internal rate of return is the maximum rate of interest, which an organization can
afford to pay on the capital invested in a project would qualify to be accepted of IRR
exceeds the cut off rate. While evaluating two or more projects, a project giving the higher
rate of return would be preferred. This is because the higher the rate of return, the more
profitable is the investment.
