Tutorial Financial Model

Chapter 3 discusses financial models for evaluating investments, focusing on the payback period, net present value (NPV), and break-even analysis. It provides formulas for calculating the payback period for both even and uneven cash flows, as well as an example of NPV calculation to assess project viability. Additionally, it introduces the concept of break-even analysis to determine the number of units needed to cover costs.

CHAPTER 3 : Measurable Organizational Value and

the Business Case

TUTORIAL FINANCIAL MODEL

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.

Formula

1. EVEN CASH FLOW


Initial Investment
Payback Period =
Cash Inflow per Period

2. UNEVEN CASH FLOW

In the formula,
B A is the last period with a negative
cumulative cash flow;
Payback Period = A + B is the absolute value of cumulative
cash flow at the end of the period A;
C
C is the total cash flow during the period
after A

Decision Rule

Accept the project only if its payback period is LESS than the target payback
period.

1
EXERCISE PAYBACK PERIOD

Example 1: Even Cash Flows


Company Tenang Enterprise is planning to undertake a project requiring initial
investment of RM105 million. The project is expected to generate RM25 million per
year for 7 years. Calculate the payback period of the project.

Solution
Payback Period = Initial Investment ÷ Annual Cash Flow = RM105M ÷ RM25M = 4.2
years

Example 2: Uneven Cash Flows


Company C is planning to undertake another project requiring initial investment of
RM50 million and is expected to generate RM10 million in Year 1, RM13 million in
Year 2, RM16 million in year 3, RM19 million in Year 4 and RM22 million in Year 5.
Calculate the payback value of the project.

Solution
(cash flows in millions) Cumulative
Year Cash Flow Cash Flow
-50,000,000 / (50,000,000)
0 (50) (50)

1 10 (40)

2 13 (27)
3 (A) 16 (11) (B)
4 19 (C) 8
5 22 30

B
Payback Period = A +
C

A= 3
= 3 + (RM11M (B) ÷ RM19M (C))
= 3 + (RM11M ÷ RM19M)
≈ 3 + 0.58
≈ 3.58 years

2
NET PRESENT VALUE

Net Present Value(NPV) is a formula used to determine the present value of an


investment by the discounted sum of all cash flows received from the project. The
formula for the discounted sum of all cash flows can be rewritten as

Example of Net Present Value

To provide an example of Net Present Value, consider company ZamZam who is


determining whether they should invest in a new project. ZamZam will expect to invest
RM500,000 for the development of their new product. The company estimates that the
first year cash flow will be RM200,000, the second year cash flow will be RM300,000,
and the third year cash flow to be RM200,000. The expected return of 10% is used as
the discount rate.

The following table provides each year's cash flow and the present value of each cash
flow.
Year Cash Flow Present Value
0 -RM500,000 RM500,000
1 RM200,000 RM181,818.18
2 RM300,000 RM247,933.88
3 RM200,000 RM150,262.96

Net Present Value = RM80,015.02


The net present value of this example can be shown in the formula

When solving for the NPV of the formula, this new project would be estimated to be a
valuable venture.

RETURN ON INVESTMENT

BREAK EVEN

Materials (putter head, shaft, grip, etc.) RM 12.00

Labor (0.5 hours at RM9.00/hr) RM 4.50

Overhead (rent, insurance, utilities, taxes, etc.) RM 8.50

Total RM 25.00

If you sell a golf putter for RM30.00 and it costs RM25.00 to make, you have a profit
margin of RM5.00:

Breakeven Point = Initial Investment / Net Profit Margin

= RM100,000 / RM5.00

= 20,000 units
