CAPTIAL & CAPTIAL BUDGETING
Types & Sources
Capital:
Wealth, which is created over a period of time to spend it.
(Or)

Fixed Capital:
- It is used in acquiring Long-term assets such as
- Land & Buildings,
- Plant & Machinery,

Working Capital:
- Working capital is the flash & blood of the business.
- It makes a company to work.
Features of working Capital:
- Short life span- Cash, Stock, Debtors.

- Liquidity- Cash.
- Amount of working capital: Depends size, nature of business.
- Utilized for payment of current expenses.
Ex:
- Wages,
- Salaries,

- Other Expenses.
Components of Working Capital: Current Assets-Current Liability.
Ex:

- TV, Motor Cycle etc.
- Short-term finance (Less than 1 year).
Ex:
- Bank over credit,

CAPITAL BUDGETING
Capital Budgeting:
“According to ‘Charles T Horngren’, the Long-term planning to make and finance proposed capital outlays”.
Capital budgeting decisions:
- Construction of new building or renovation of existing old building.
- Purchasing of technology from a foreign country.
- Building a production facility.
- To buy a new track.
- Sponsoring a local football or cricket team.
- Building a bridge.
- Buying an airline.
- Making a new product (Producing a new product).
- Starting a new business.http://www.btechbunks.com/
- Expansion of Plant & Machinery equipments.
- Advertising the company products.
- Labor agreements.
Why is Capital Budgeting necessary?
- Projects that reduce the costs.
- Projects that Increase the revenues (income).
Estimation of cash inflows & outflows:
- Cash inflows = Cash receipts.
- Cash outflows = Cash going out of business.
- It may be calculated for a particular project (or) for the whole business for one year (or) series of years.
Ex:
Problem: Suppose an asset costing Rs.25, 000 has 5 years of life and is expected to yield Rs.20, 000; 30,000; 35,000; 30,000; 25,000. Its operating cash expenses are 40% of the estimated revenues of each year. The asset is subjected to 30% of income tax. The company is subjected to 30% of income tax. Estimate the cash inflows for 1 to 5 years.
Solution:
Depreciation = 25,000/5 = 5,000/-

Long term investments proposals involve large cash outlays while evaluating capital budgeting proposals, the following steps are considered:
- Generating investment proposals.
- Estimating cash flows for the proposals.
- Evaluating cash flows.
- Selection of projects.
- Monitoring & re-evaluating, on a continuous basis the investment projects, once they are accepted.
Kinds of Capital budgeting decisions:
- Replacement = to replace worn out or obsolete fixed assets.
- Expansion = to add capacity to existing product.
- Research & Development = where technology is rapidly changing, large sums need to be spent on research & development for investing on new products.
- Diversification = to reduce the risk of failure by operating in more than one market.
- Others = miscellaneous proposals.
Methods of Capital Budgeting:
These can be classified as follows,
- Traditional methods:
- Payback Period.
- Accounting rate of return method (A.R.R.).
- Discounted cash flow methods:
- Internal rate of return method (I.R.R.).
- Net present value method (N.V.P.).
Payback Method:
- Under this method, the decision to accept or reject a proposal is based on its payback period. It means the original cost is recovered.
- It is calculated by:
Payback Period = (cost of the project)/ (annual cash inflows)
- The shorter is the payback period. The better is the project in terms of paying back the original investment.
- The companies favor this method. The earlier the original investment is recovered.
Problem 1:
The cost of project is 50,000/- , the annual cash inflows for the next 4 years are 25,000/-. What is the payback period for the project?
Solution:
Payback Period = (cost of the project)/ (annual cash inflows)
=50,000/25,000
=2 Years.
Problem 2:
The cost of a project is 50,000/-, which has an expected life of 5 years. The cash inflows for next 5 years are 24,000; 26,000; 20,000; 17,000; 16,000/-. Determine payback period, cash inflows& cumulative cash inflows for the project?

- Note: The original investment can be recovered by the end of second year is pay back period.
Advantages:
- Easy to calculate & understand.
- Liquidity is emphasized.
- Reliable technique in volatile business.
Disadvantages:
- Post-payback earnings ignored:http://www.btechbunks.com/
This method ignores earnings after the payback period.
It ignores the total life of the project & total profitability of investment.
- Emphasized (by choosing only cash inflows) liquidity is over-emphasized.
- Timing of cash flows ignored. This method does not consider the timing of cash flows. All the cash flows are given equal weight age.
Accounting rate of return (ARR) Method:
Problem 1: ARR:-
A firm is considering two projects each with an initial investment of 20,000/- & a life of 4 years. The following is the list of estimated cash inflows after taxes.

Determine ARR on:
- Average capital.
- Original capital employed.
Solution:
- ARR on Average Capital:
- On Original Investment:
Proposal 1
|
Proposal 2
|
Proposal 3
|
(12,500/10,000)*100= 125%
|
(12,500/10,000)*100= 125%
|
(12,500/10,000)*100= 125%
|
Proposal 1
|
Proposal 2
|
Proposal 3
|
(12,500/2000)*100=62.5%
|
(12,500/2000)*100=62.5%
|
(12,500/2000)*100=62.5%
|
ARR gives equal priority to all the proposals through the t imings of the cash flows is different.
