3.1.1 Introduction
Classification of investment decisions
Long-term investment decision or capital budgeting and
Short-term decision or Working capital decision.
Expenses comes under capital investment
3.1.2
-------------------------------------------------3.1.1 INTRODUCTION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------The investment decision is the most important of the firm's three
major decisions when it comes to the value creation. Investment decision
relates to the determination of total amount of assets to be held in the firm,
the composition of these assets like the amount of fixed assets, current
assets and the extent of business risk involved by the investors.
The investment decisions can be classified in to two groups: (1) Longterm investment decision or capital budgeting and (2) Short-term decision or
Working capital decision.
In this module the long-term investment decision or capital budgeting is
discussed in detail. The capital budgeting decisions, require comparison of
cost against benefits over a long period. The investment made in capital
assets cannot be recovered in the short run. Such assets will generate
returns ranging from 2 to 20 years or more. Such investment decision
involve a careful consideration of various factors like profitability, safety,
liquidity and solvency etc. a business organisation has to face quite often the
problem of capital investment decisions. Capital investment refers to the
investment in projects whose results would generate revenue or earnings
from alter a year and it will continue for several numbers of years. The
following are the expenses which comes under capital investment are:
a) Replacements of old technology with new technology
ii) Expansion of production activity
iii) Diversification of products due to competition and for growth
iv) Research and Development expenditure
v) Miscellaneous expensed for installation of equipment, pollution control
equipment etc.

Cash inflow is calculated by taking into profits from the project before
depreciation and after Tax.When the cash inflow is uneven then the payback
period is calculated bu cumulative cash inflows and by interpolation, the
exact payback period can be calculated. For example, if the project requires
an initial investment of Rs. 40,000 and the annual cash inflows for 5 years
are Rs. 12,000, Rs, 10,000, Rs. 14,000, Rs. 11,000 and Rs. 9,000
respectively, the pay back period will be calculated as follows:
Year
Cash inflows
(in Rs)
12,000
(in Rs)
12,000
10,000
22,000
14,000
36,000
11,000
47,000
9,000
56,000
From the above table we are clear that in 3 years Rs. 36,000 has been
recovered. Rs. 4,000 is left out of initial investment. In the fourth year the
cash inflow is Rs. 11,000. It means the pay back period is between three to
four years calculated as follows.
Amount to be recovered
Pay back period = 3 years + ------------------------------------Amount available in the next year.
= 3 + 4,000/ 11,000
= 3.33 years.
Advantages of Pay back period
a. The main advantage of this method is that it is simple to
understand and easy to calculate.
b. In this method, as a project with a shorter pay back period is
preferred to the one having a longer pay back period. Hence the
project of loss from quick obsolescence can be overcome from this
method.
c. This method gives an indication to the prospective investors
specifying when their funds are likely to be repaid.
d. This method is suitable when the future is very uncertain.
Disadvantages
a. This method does not take into account the cash inflows earned
after the pay back period and the true profitability of the projects
cannot be correctly assessed.
b. This method ignores the time value of money and does not
consider the magnitude and timing of cash in flows.
ARR =
The determination of cost of capital is not a pre-requisite for the use of this
method and hence it is better than NPV method where the cost of capital
cannot be determined easily.
It provides for uniform ranking of various proposals due to the percentage
rate of return.
Demerits
1. It is difficult to understand and is the most difficult method of evaluation
of investment proposals.
2. This method is based upon the assumption that the earnings are
reinvested at the internal rate of return for the remaining life of the
project, which is not a justified assumption.
3. The results of NPV method and IRR method may differ when the projects
under evaluation differ in their size, life and timings of cash flows.
Discounted Pay back Period Method.
Under this method the draw back of time value of money not
considered in pay back period is considered. Hence this method is
improvement over the pay back period method. Under this method the
project which gives the greatest post pay-back period may be accepted.
Under this method the present values of all cash outflows and inflows are
computed at an appropriate discount rate. The time period at which the
cumulated present value of cash inflows equals th present value of cash
outflows is known as discounted pay back period.
Profitability Index Method or Benefit Cost Ratio
It is also a time-adjusted method of evaluating the investment proposals.
Profitability index also called as Benefit-Cost Ratio or Desirability factor is the
relationship between present value of cash inflows and present value of cash
outflows. Thus
Profitability Index =
The proposal is accepted if the profitability index is more than one and
is rejected in case the PI is less than one.

Sensitivity analysis
Where cash inflows are very sensitive under different circumstances,
more than one forecast of the future cash inflows may be made. These
inflows may be regarded as 'Optimistic', 'Most Likely' and 'Pessimistic'.
Further cash inflows may be discounted to find out the NPV under these
three different situations. If the NPV under the three situations differ widely
it implies that there is a great risk in the project and the investor's decision
to accept or reject a project will depend upon his risk bearing abilities

The NPV calculated above indicate that Project B is more risky as compared
to Project A. at the same time during favorable conditions, it is more
profitable.
Probability Technique
A probability is a relative frequency with which an event may occur in
the future. When future estimates of cash inflows have different probabilities
the expected monetary values may be computed by multiplying cash inflow
with the probability assigned.
Illustration:
The ABC company Limited has given the following possible cash inflows fro
two of their projects X and Y out of which one they wish to undertake
together with their associated probabilities. Both the projects will require an
equal investment of Rs. 5,000.
