Capital Budgeting
Ques: A company has to select one of the following two projects:
Project A Project B
Cost 22,000 20,0000
Cash Inflows:
Year1 12,000 2,000
Year 2 4,000 2,000
Year 3 2,000 4,000
Year 4 10,000 20,000
Using the Internal Rate of Return methods suggest which Preferable is.
Solution:
Project A
= 28,000 /4 = 7000
The factor thus calculated will be located in table II below. This would give the estimated
rate of return to be applied discounting the cash for the internal rate of returns. In this of
project A the rate comes to 10% while in case of project B it comes to15%.
Project A
The present value at 10% comes to Rs. 22,544. The initial investment is Rs. 22,000. Interest
rate of return may be taken approximately at 10%.
In the case more exactness is required another trial which is slightly higher than 10%(since at
this rate the present value is more than initial investment) may be taken. Taking a rate of 12%
the following results would emerge.
IRR=Base factor + Positive net present value/Difference in positive and Negative net
present value *DP
DP = 2%
10%+544/544-(-312)*2%
10%+544/856*2
10%+1.27
=11.27%
Project B
IRR= 10%+134/134-(2676)*5*
Thus, internal rate of return in project ‘A’ is higher as compared to project ‘B’. Therefore
project ‘A’ is preferable.
