Problems on capital Budgeting from Engineering economics!!!



 1) A business proposal requires an investment of rupees 1 lakh and yields an income of rupees                  1,60,000 after a period of 8 years, the estimated income is before depriciation of assets and after             payment of taxes, calculate the payback period for the proposal?

               PBP= 1,00,000/1,60,000/8= 5 years  ✊✊

2) An investment proposal requires a cash outlet of rupees 10,000 and generates cash inflows of rupees      2000, 4000, 3000 and 5000 in it's first four year of operation respectively. all cash inflows have              been  estimated before depreciation of assets and after payment of all taxes. calculate the payback          period for the proposal?

                                              which is 3.2 years!!!✋                                                                                   

3) A company is considering taking up a project that cause rupees 5,00,000 and yields a profit of rupees     80,000/ year after considering depreciation of equipment at 12% per annum but before payment of         taxes at 50% per annum, determine the payback period for the project?

4) A manufacturing firm produces articles mostly using manual labor in order to improve the                      productivity the firm is considering the purchase of fully automatic equipment, there are two                  alternatives available in the market Machine M and Machine N, the following information is                  available for both alternatives?

In Rupees

Initial investment

Estimated savings in scrap

Estimated savings in Direct wages

Additional cost of maintenance

Additional cost of supervision

Machine M

90,000

5000

60,000

8000

12,000

Machine N

1,80,000

8000

80,000

10,000

18,000


Prepare a statement on which of the two alternatives should the firm purchase based on the payback period?

>>Cash inflow = Net earnings= Total additional savings-Total additional cost

    for Machine M:

ð                [5000+60,000]-[8000+12000]  

ð                45,000 Rs  for Machine M

    for Machine N:

ð              88,000-28,000

ð              60,000

 

Payback period for Machine M=90,000/45,000 => 2 years……And

Payback period for Machine N=1,80,000/60,000 =>3 years

So Machine M is suggested as it has 2 years of Payback period but In Practical case, Machine N as alternative!
