The document contains two investment analysis questions. The first question asks to calculate the net present value (NPV) of two mutually exclusive projects, A and B, which have different cash outlay, running expenses, salvage values, and tax rates over their eight year life. The second question provides details on a proposed car television manufacturing project for Television Ltd, including costs, sales projections, tax rates, and asks to calculate the project NPV using a 14% target rate over its seven year life. Both questions are solved in sections 10.2 and 10.4 of the referenced book.

TUTORIAL - CASH FLOW FOR INVESTMENT ANALYSIS

1. A company is faced with the problem of choosing between two mutually exclusive
projects. Project A requires a cash outlay of Rs 1,00,000 and cash running expenses of
Rs 35,000 per year. On the other hand, project B will cost Rs 1,50,000 and require cash
running expenses of Rs 20,000 per year. Both the machines have an eight year life.
Project A has a Rs 4000 salvage value and project B has Rs 14,000 salvage value. The
company tax rate is 50% and has a 10% required rate of return. Assume depreciation
on straight line basis and no tax on salvage value of assets. Compute the NPV using
incremental cash flows.

televisions. The project would involve cost of plant of Rs 500 lakh, installation cost of Rs
100 lakh and working capital of Rs 125 lakh. The annual capacity of the plant is to
manufacture 22000 sets. The price per set in the first year would be Rs 12,000. The
variable cost to sales ratio is expected to be 65%. The fixed cost per annum would be
Rs 300 lakh excluding depreciation. The company would have to incur promotion
expenditure of Rs 120 lakh in the first year. Written down depreciation rate is 25%.
Working capital requirement is estimated to be 25% of the sales .The company expects
