Nature of Investment
Decisions The investment decisions of a firm are generally
known as the capital budgeting, or capitalexpenditure decisions.
The firms investment decisions would generallyinclude expansion,acquisition,modernisationand replacement of the long-term assets. Sale of adivision or business (divestment) is also as aninvestment decision.
Decisions like the change in the methods of salesdistribution, or an advertisement campaign or aresearch and development programme havelong-term implications for the firms expenditures andbenefits, and therefore, they should also beevaluated as investment decisions.

Features of Long-term
Investment Decisions
The exchange of current funds for
future benefits. The funds are invested in long-term
assets (more than 1 year).
The future benefits will occur to thefirm over a series of years.

Types of Investment Decisions
One classification is as follows: Expansion of existing business
Expansion of new business Replacement and modernisation
Yet another useful way to classifyinvestments is as follows: Mutually exclusive investments Independent investments
Contingent investments

Investment Evaluation Criteria
Three steps are involved in the
evaluation of an investment: Estimation of cash flows
Estimation of the required rate of return(the opportunity cost of capital)
Application of a decision rule for makingthe choice

Investment Decision Rule It should maximise the shareholders wealth.
It should consider all cash flows to determinethe true profitability of the project.
It should provide for an objective andunambiguous way of separating good projects
from bad projects. It should help ranking of projects according to
their true profitability.

Investment Decision Rule It should recognise the fact that bigger cash
flows are preferable to smaller ones and early
cash flows are preferable to later ones.
It should help to choose among mutuallyexclusive projects that project which maximisesthe shareholders wealth.
It should be a criterion which is applicable toany conceivable investment projectindependent of others.

Net Present Value Method Cash flows of the investment project
should be forecasted based on realistic
assumptions.
Appropriate discount rate should be
identified to discount the forecasted cashflows. The appropriate discount rate isthe projects opportunity cost of capital.

Net Present Value Method Present value of cash flows should be
calculated using the opportunity cost of capital
as the discount rate.
The project should be accepted if NPV ispositive (i.e., NPV > 0).

expected to generate year-end cash inflows of Rs900, Rs 800, Rs 700, Rs 600 and Rs 500 in years 1

Internal Rate of Return
Method The internal rate of return (IRR) is the rate that
equates the investment outlay with the present valueof cash inflow received over a long period. This alsoimplies that the rate of return is the discount ratewhich makes NPV = 0.

Calculation of IRR Uneven Cash Flows: Calculating IRR
by Trial and Error The approach is to select any discount rate to
compute the present value of cash inflows. If thecalculated present value of the expected cash inflowis lower than the present value of cash outflows, alower rate should be tried. On the other hand, a
higher value should be tried if the present value ofinflows is higher than the present value of outflows.This process will be repeated unless the net presentvalue becomes zero.

Rs 20,000 and provide annual cash inflow ofRs 5,430 for 6 years.

Acceptance Rule
Accept the project when r > k.

The initial cash outlay of a project is Rs 100,000 and itcan generate cash inflow of Rs 40,000, Rs 30,000, Rs50,000 and Rs 20,000 in year 1 through 4. Assume a 10per cent rate of discount. The PV of cash inflows at 10

Acceptance Rule
The following are the PI acceptance rules:
Accept the project when PI is greater than one.PI > 1
Reject the project when PI is less than one.PI < 1
May accept the project when PI is equal to one.
PI = 1 The project with positive NPV will have PI greater
than one. PI less than 1 means that the projects NPVis negative.

28/49
Evaluation of PI Method It recognises the time value of money. It is consistent with the shareholder value
maximisation principle. A project with PI greater thanone will have positive NPV and if accepted, it willincrease shareholders wealth.
In the PI method, since the present value of cashinflows is divided by the initial cash outflow, it is arelative measure of a projects profitability.
Like NPV method, PI criterion also requirescalculation of cash flows and estimate of the discountrate. In practice, estimation of cash flows anddiscount rate pose problems.

Payback Payback is the number of years required to recover the original
cash outlay invested in a project.
If the project generates constant annual cash inflows, the payback
period can be computed by dividing cash outlay by the annualcash inflow. That is:
Assume that a project requires an outlay of Rs 50,000 and yieldsannual cash inflow of Rs 12,500 for 7 years. The payback periodfor the project is:

Payback
Unequal cash flows In case of unequal cashinflows, the payback period can be found out by
adding up the cash inflows until the total is equal tothe initial cash outlay.
Suppose that a project requires a cash outlay of Rs20,000, and generates cash inflows of Rs
8,000; Rs 7,000; Rs 4,000; and Rs 3,000 during thenext 4 years. What is the projects payback?
3 years + 12 (1,000/3,000) months
3 years + 4 months

Acceptance Rule The project would be accepted if its payback period
is less than the maximum or standard paybackperiod set by management.
As a ranking method, it gives highest ranking to theproject, which has the shortest payback period andlowest ranking to the project with highest payback
period.

Serious limitations: Cash flows after payback Cash flows ignored Cash flow patterns Administrative difficulties Inconsistent with shareholder value

Payback Reciprocal and the
Rate of Return The reciprocal of payback will be a close
approximation of the internal rate of return if
the following two conditions are satisfied:
The life of the project is large or at least twice thepayback period.
The project generates equal annual cash inflows.

Discounted Payback Period
The discounted payback period is the number ofperiods taken in recovering the investment outlay onthe present value basis.
The discounted payback period still fails to consider the
cash flows occurring after the payback period.

Accounting Rate of Return
Method The accounting rate of return is the ratio of the average
after-tax profit divided by the average investment. The
average investment would be equal to half of theoriginal investment if it were depreciated constantly.
A variation of the ARR method is to divide averageearnings after taxes by the original cost of the projectinstead of the average cost.

Acceptance Rule This method will accept all those projects whose ARR
is higher than the minimum rate established by themanagement and reject those projects which haveARR less than the minimum rate.
This method would rank a project as number one if ithas highest ARR and lowest rank would be assigned
to the project with lowest ARR.

Conventional and Non-
conventional Cash Flows A conventional investment has cash flows the pattern of
an initial cash outlay followed by cash inflows.Conventional projects have only one change in the sign
of cash flows; for example, the initial outflow followed byinflows, i.e., + + +.
A non-conventional investment, on the other hand, hascash outflows mingled with cash inflows throughout thelife of the project. Non-conventional investments havemore than one change in the signs of cash flows; forexample, + + + ++ +.

Case of Ranking Mutually
Exclusive Projects Investment projects are said to be mutually exclusive
when only one investment could be accepted andothers would have to be excluded.
Two independent projects may also be mutuallyexclusive if a financial constraint is imposed.
The NPV and IRR rules give conflicting ranking to theprojects under the following conditions: The cash flow pattern of the projects may differ. That is, the
cash flows of one project may increase over time, while thoseof others may decrease or vice-versa.
The cash outlays of the projects may differ.
The projects may have different expected lives.

Reinvestment Assumption
The IRR method is assumed to imply that
the cash flows generated by the projectcan be reinvested at its internal rate ofreturn, whereas the NPV method isthought to assume that the cash flows
are reinvested at the opportunity cost ofcapital.

Varying Opportunity Cost of
Capital There is no problem in using NPV method
when the opportunity cost of capital varies
over time.
If the opportunity cost of capital varies over
time, the use of the IRR rule createsproblems, as there is not a unique benchmarkopportunity cost of capital to compare withIRR.
