Some Problems with their Solutions

Problem No. 1

For the below table, the cash outlay of $10,000 requires for each project. If the standard pay back period is 5 years, then which project should be accepted?

Year Project X ($) Project Y ($) Project Z ($)

1 2500 4000 1000

2 2500 3000 2000

3 2500 2000 3000

4 2500 1000 4000

Solution:

In the above table, all three projects have recovered their capital investment of $10,000 within the duration of 4 years. It has been found that Project X follows constant cash inflows whereas the project Y shows continuous decrease in their cash inflows. Considering the fact of Project Z, it shows gradual increase of cash flow every year.

Here, the project X shows the constant return point of view in every year. Thus, it is recommended.

Problem No. 2

A company has two projects with a tax rate of 50%. From the below table, the data will highlightits statistics.

Cash Inflows (Profit before Depreciation and Tax)

Year Project A Project B

$ $

0 15,000 15,000

1 4,200 4,200

2 4,800 4,500

3 7,000 4,000

4 8,000 5,000

5 2,000 10,000

Determine the depreciation rate on straight line basis using pay back period as criterion.

Solution:

For Project A:

(–) Add Cash Cumulative

Year Profit Depreciation PAD Tax PAT Depreciation InflowsCash Inflows

$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $

1 4200 3000 1200 600 600 3000 3600 3600

2 4800 3000 1800 900 900 3000 3900 7500

3 7000 3000 4000 2000 2000 3000 5000 12500

4 8000 3000 4000 2000 2000 3000 5000 17500

5 2000 3000 –1000 – 3000 2000 19500

Where,

PAD = Profit After Depreciation

PAT = Profit After Tax

Pay back period = 3 years and 6 months

Result:

Investment is $15,000

Capital Recovered in first three years is $12,500

During 4^th year, balance of $2500 is recovered

1^st Year 3,600

2^nd Year 3,900

3^rd Year 5,000

12,500

Balance 2,500

15,000

12 months/ 5,000 x 2,500 = How many months?

Thus, the time taken to recover the amount of $2,500 will be 6 months.

Hence, pay back period = 3 years 6 months

Project B

Similarly,

5 1000 3000 7000 7000 3500 3000 6500 21350

Note:

If necessary, then cumulative cash inflows should be prepared.

Here, Pay back period = 4 years and 8days

Result:

Investment is $15,000

Capital Recovered is $15,000

1^st Year 3,600

2^nd Year 3,750

3^rd Year 3,500

4^th Year 4,000

14,850

Balance 150

15,000

Time taken to recover the amount of $150 = 8days

For recovery of amount $6,500 in the 5^th Year, time required = 365 days

For recovery of amount $15 in the 5^th Year, time required = 8 days

Depreciation Project A Project B

Cost/ Life 15000/ 5 15000/ 5

= $3,000 = $3,000

Problem No. 3:

From the information given below, you have to determine the pay back period using:

Traditional pay back method
Discounted pay back method

Initial Outlay Estimated Life 5 Years $80,000

Profit After Tax Year 1 $6,000

End of the Years 2 $14,000

3 $24,000

4 $16,000

5 NIL

Take the cost of capital 20% per annum and PV of Re. 1 at this rate. Calculate depreciation under straight line method.

Year 1 2 3 4 5

p/v factor .83 .69 .58 .48 .40

Solution:

Before Add Profit Depreciation p/v factor present

Year PAT Depreciation but after tax at 20% value

$ $ $ $ $

1 6,000 +16,000 = 22,000 .83 18,260

2 14,000 +16,000 = 30,000 .69 20,700

3 24,000 +16,000 = 40,000 .58 23,200

4 6,000 +16,000 = 22,000 .48 15,360

5 NIL +16,000 = 16,000 .40 6,400

Total present value = 83,920

Less : Initial Investment = 80,000

Net Present Value = 3,920

Traditional pay back method:

1^st Year $22,000

2^nd Year $30,000

Amount recovered for 2 years $52,000

Balance $28,000

$80,000

3^rd Year profit is $40,000, but we require $28,000 to meet the original investment of $80,000

Hence, it can be written as,

12 months/ 40,000 x 28,000 = How many months?

= 2 years 8 months

Discounted pay back method:

1^st Year $18,260

2^nd Year $20,700

3^rd Year $23,200

4^th Year $15,360

Balance $77,520

Project Cost $2,480

$80,000

In the 5^th year, the cash inflow is $6,400, but for $2,480 to meet the original investment of $80,000

Hence, it can be written as,

12 months/ 6,400 x 2,480 = How many months?

= 4 years 4 months

Note:

Cost/ Life = 80,000/ 5

= 16,000

Problem No. 4:

Two competing proposals require an equal investment of $50,000. It is expected to produce net cash flows based on the following data:

Year Project I Project II p/v at 10% per annum

$ $ $

1 25,000 10,000 .909

4 NIL 25,000 .683

5 12,000 8,000 .621

6 6,000 4,000 .564

Determine the project proposals using discounted cash flow methods. Tell us which one to choose and why.

Solution:

5 12,000 8,000

6 6,000 4,000

a) Finding pay back period using traditional method:

Project I

1^st Year $25,000

2^nd Year $15,000

3^rd Year $10,000

$50,000

Here, pay back period is 3 years.

Project II

1^st Year $10,000

2^nd Year $12,000

3^rd Year $18,000

$40,000

Balance $10,000

$50,000

Here, pay back period can be obtained by,

2/ 25,000 x 10,000 = 4 years

Thus, as per the traditional method, Project I will be recommended because of its shorter pay back period.

Discounted cash flow method:

For Project I:

4 25,000 .683 17,075

5 8,000 .621 4,968

6 4,000 .564 2,256

Total Present Value = $56,819

Less : Original Cost = $50,000

Net Present Value = $6,819

Criteria pay back period for Project II is 3years 4 months

Note:

If considering the pay back period, then Project I is recommended. But, if considering the NPV, then Project II is recommended. This is because of surplus value in Project II i.e., $6,819.

Project 5:

Calculate the pay back period for a project whose cost is $5,00,000. It yields annual profit of $80,000 after its depreciation at 12% per annum before tax rate of 50%.

Solution:

Pay back period = Original Cost/ Annual Cash Inflows

Initial Investment = $5,00,000

Cash inflows = Profit after tax plus Depreciation

Profit Before Tax 80,000

Less: Tax 50% 40,000

Profit After Tax 40,000

Add: Depreciation 60,000

Annual Cash Inflows 1,00,000

Hence, Pay back period = 5,00,000/ 1,00,000

= 5 years

Note:

Depreciation = 5,00,000 x 12/ 100

= 60,000

We know that,

Rate of Return on Original Investment = Return/ Original Investment

Return represents the Average Return, it should be calculated by;

Total Return/ Number of Years = 2,00,000/ 5

= $40,000

Thus,

Rate of Return on Original Investment = 40,000/ 2,00,000 x 100

= 20%

Rate of return on average investment method

Return = Average Investment x 100

Where,

Return = $40,000

Average Investment = Original Investment/ 2

= 2,00,000/ 2

= 1,00,000

Hence, Rate of Return on Average Investment = 40,000/ 1,00,000x 100

= 40%

4 80,000 0.683 54,670

5 60,000 0.621 37,260

Total Present Value = $3,08,130

Initial Investment = $2,00,000

Net Present Value = 1,08,130

Net present value index method

Total present value of cash inflows = Total present value of cash outflows

= 3,08,130/ 2,00,000

=1.541

Hence,

1.541 x 100 = 154.1%

Internal rate of return method

As the annual cash inflows are not uniform, we will apply the formula,

Rate of Return, F = I/ C

Where,

F = Factor to be located

I = Initial Investment

C = Average Annual Cash Inflow

Hence,

F = 2,00,000/ 80,000

= 2.5

Showed in Table no. II, at this rate of return for 5 years is 28%

Now, discounted cash flow at 28% cost of capital

Year Cash Inflows Discount Factor Discounted Cash at 28% Inflows

1 90,000 0.781 70,290

2 90,000 0.610 54,900

3 80,000 0.477 38,160

4 80,000 0.373 29,840

5 60,000 0.291 17,460

Total Present Value = $2,10,650

Less: Initial Investment= $2,00,000

Excess Present Value = 10,650

Note:

As the present value if higher on $10,650, we will apply higher discount rate at 30% cost of capital.

Now, discounted cash flow at 30% cost of capital

Year Cash Inflows Discount Factor Discounted Cash at 30% Inflows

1 90,000 0.769 69,210

2 90,000 0.592 53,280

3 80,000 0.455 36,400

4 80,000 0.350 28,000

5 60,000 0.269 16,140

Total Present Value = $2,03,030

Less: Initial Investment= $2,00,000

Excess Present Value = 3,030

Note:

Thus, the excess present value comes $3,030 at 30% cost of capital. The internal rate of return will be then slightly greater than 30%. Moreover, small changes will not affect in huge level in the organization. Hence, for this case, the internal rate of return will be more or less than 30%.

Result and Decision:

With the investigation of project by applying all the techniques, it shows that new project seems to be attractive.

Problem No. 11

Working:

Accounting Rate of Return:

Return on original investment:

Average Net Earnings/ Original Investment

= 5,000/ 40,000 x 100 and 8,250/ 60,000

= 12.3% 13.75%

Return on Average Investment Method:

Return/ Average Investment x 100

= 5,000/ 20,000 x 100 and 8,250/ 30,000

= 25% 27.5%

Return on Incremental Investment:

Incremental Earnings/ Incremental Investment x 100

= 3,250/ 20,000 x 100 and 3,250/ 40,000 x 100

= 16.25% 8%

Note:

Incremental Earning = 6250 – 5000 = $1,250

Incremental Investment = 60,000 – 40,000 = $20,000

Result:

It is thus recommended to replace the old machine by a new one.

Problem No. 12

Calculate the pay back period. For a project, the annual cash inflow is of $20,000 for 7 years for its initial cost of $1,00,000.
