Question 1
Payback period
Payback period is the time in which the initial cash outflow of an investment is
expected to be recovered from the cash inflows generated by the investment. It is
one of the simplest investment appraisal techniques. Payback period as a tool of
analysis is often used because it is easy to apply and easy to understand for most
individuals, regardless of academic training or field of endeavor. When used
carefully or to compare similar investments, it can be quite useful. As a stand-alone
tool to compare an investment to "doing nothing," payback period has no explicit
criteria for decision-making.
The payback method should not be used as the sole criterion for approval of a
capital investment. Instead, consider using the net present value and internal rate of
return methods to incorporate the time value of money and more complex cash
flows, and use throughput to see if the investment will actually boost overall
corporate profitability. There are also other considerations in a capital investment
decision, such as whether the same asset model should be purchased in volume to
reduce maintenance costs, and whether lower-cost and lower-capacity units would
make more sense than an expensive "monument" asset.

With limited capital budget $3.0 million project B and Project C should be
accepted, hence Project A and Project B are mutually exclusive. Project B has
2.014 years at 15% discount factor and 2.582 years 21% discount factor and
project C has 4.446 years payback period at 15 % and 5.274 years payback period
at 21% discount factor. Project D has higher payback period compare project B and
life of project also higher then Project B and if project B and project C accepted
capital budget also fulfill that is 3.0 million.

Question 2
Equivalent annual annuity (EAA)
Equivalent annual annuity (EAA) is an approach used in capital budgeting to
choose between mutually exclusive projects with unequal useful lives. It assumes
that the projects are annuities, calculates net present value for each project, and
then finds annual cash flows that when discounted at the relevant discount rate for
the life of the relevant project, would equal the net present value. When used to
compare projects with unequal, the one with the higher EAA should be selected.
The equivalent annual annuity formula uses the annuity payment formula for when
present value is given. Net present value replaces present value to give relevance to
the use of the equivalent annual annuity formula. A simple net present value
analysis of the two alternatives will miss the point that the investment. The
equivalent annual annuity is the appropriate tool for this problem.
Egret printing and Publication Company has four different projects, project A and
B have same life of the project and project C and D have unequal project life to
equal comparisons of the project EAA is useful measure with unequal project life.
IRR and NPV are not effective measure to compare for different life of the project
company should have to calculate EAA for effective calculation.

generally found on the printing industry:

Payback period and IRR of project B has higher than industry average but at NPV
project B has less than industry average. If we consider payback period and IRR
project B is good project but according to NPV Project is not higher return than
industry average. So, Hill claim is no sufficient to prove that Project B will
generate a return higher than industry average because NPV is the best measure of
return of project.
Question 5
Patrick hill join the company in 1986 as a vice president of finance in his father in
laws company. He was responsible for managing the internal as well as external
financial operation of the company and has been trying to change the company
policy of not using any debt financing. At the moment the company has an internal
fund of approximately 3 million available for investment. With this amount
company will only be able to invest in either project A and C or projects B and C
i.e. without using debt financing company is losing the opportunity to invest in
project D.
As NPV of all projects are positive it would be highly profitable for the company,
if it could invest in all the projects. But for this they would have to acquire 1
million as long term debt. Acquiring the long term debt would change the capital
structure and cost of capital reducing it from 15% to 12% only.
Investing in project D is important as it upgrades the service provided by the
company.
Egret purchases a local video text services that had been operating locally for
several years. It is included as an extra-charge feature on the local cable television
system, and over one half of the systems subscriber pay for the video text service.
The upgrade would make it possible to update the information presented on the
screen much more quickly and would increase the reliability significantly.
Although the NPV of project D is positive, So in this case, project D will also
profitable if Belford brothers invest from debt financing..

If the Belford agrees to Hills proposal to use a modest amount of debt finance the
project this year then Capital structure will change to 25% debt and 75% equity.
This will overall decrease the cost of capital to 13.5%. Now, using this capital
structure, the Belford family has to bear a comparatively a lower cost of capital
which in turn will increase the net value of the projects. As per this capital
structure, proposed by hill, projects A, C and D stands best to invest in.

Question 8.
Project C is best according to the NPV analysis
Based on the NPV analysis we came to know :
1. project with higher NPV is better
2. In case of independent project, having Higher positive NPV project should
be selected
3. In case of mutually exclusive, project with highest NPV is selected.
Profitability index of A&C and B&C ranked first and second respectively
Project C handled in the case earlier is valid because project C cannot be chosen
without choosing either Projects A or B.
Question 9
Capital budgeting is extremely important section for any project because the
decisions made here, involves the future cash flows. In the evaluation stage, the
capital budgeting evaluations are made to measure the payback period or the time
it requires to recoup. Only the quantitative data is likely to result in overlooking
important aspects of decisions. Such as: issues related to financing the project and
availability of capital to the project.
No, using only quantitative factors for capital making decisions is not enough to
make efficient decisions. Although using quantitative factors for decision making
is important, qualitative factors may outweigh the quantitative factors in making a
decision. For example, a large manufacturer of medical devices recently invested
several million dollars in a small start-up medical device firm. When asked about
the NPV analysis, the manager responsible for the investment indicated that a
certain project was deemed unprofitable looking at its NPV. However, the
technology they were using for manufacturing was of great strategic importance.
This is an example of qualitative factors (strategic importance to the company)
outweighing quantitative factors (negative NPV). The following qualitative factors
should be considered while making capital budgeting decisions:
It doesnt represent the annual decline in value of asset.
It doesnt measure the value of asset.
It doesnt generate sufficient cash flow to measure payback period.
So, In theory we should be more concerned with measuring the risk subjectively or
judgmentally rather than quantitatively. Therefore, the Quantitative measures alone
are not sufficient for evaluating firms performance.
Quantitative factors can only be measured in numeric terms. Whereas, Qualitative
measures is judgment based. It involves:
Some preliminary quantitative analysis and judgments.
It plays an important role in the overall capital budgeting.
