CHAPTER: 2 FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

A. Meaning and types of financial statements B. Techniques of financial analysis C.


Limitations of financial analysis D. Practical problems

Meaning of Financial Statements:


Financial statements are the summary of the accounting process, which provides
useful information to both internal and external parties.

Definition of Financial Statements:


John N. Nyer defined as “Financial statements provide a summary of the accounting
of a business enterprise, the balance-sheet reflecting the assets, liabilities and capital as on a
certain data and the income statement showing the results of operations during a certain
period”.
Financial statements generally consist of two important statements:
(i) The income statement or profit and loss account.
(ii) Balance sheet or the position statement.
A part from that, the business concern also prepares some of the other parts of
statements, which are very useful to the internal purpose such as:
(i) Statement of changes in owner’s equity.
(ii) Statement of changes in financial position.

Income Statement
 Income statement is also called as profit and loss account, which reflects the
operational position of the firm during a particular period. Normally it consists of one
accounting year.
 Income statement helps to ascertain the gross profit and net profit of the concern.
Gross profit is determined by preparation of trading or manufacturing a/c and net
profit is determined by preparation of profit and loss account.

Balance Sheet Statement


 Position statement is also called as balance sheet, which reflects the financial position
of the firm at the end of the financial year.

6
 Position statement helps to ascertain and understand the total assets, liabilities and
capital of the firm. One can understand the strength and weakness of the concern with
the help of the position statement.

Statement of Changes in Owner’s Equity


 It is also called as statement of retained earnings. This statement provides information
about the changes or position of owner’s equity in the company. How the retained
earnings are employed in the business concern. Nowadays, preparation of this
statement is not popular and nobody is going to prepare the separate statement of
changes in owner’s equity.

Statement of Changes in Financial Position


 Income statement and position statement shows only about the position of the finance,
hence it can’t measure the actual position of the financial statement.
 Statement of changes in financial position helps to understand the changes in financial
position from one period to another period.
 Statement of changes in financial position involves two important areas such as fund
flow statement which involves the changes in working capital position and cash flow
statement which involves the changes in cash position.

TYPES OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS


Analysis of financial statement may be broadly classified into two important types on
the basis of material used and methods of operations.

1. Based on Material Used


Based on the material used, financial statement analysis may be classified into two
major types such as External analysis and internal analysis.

A. External Analysis
 Outsiders of the business concern do normally external analyses but they are indirectly
involved in the business concern such as investors, creditors, government
organizations and other credit agencies.

7
 External analysis is very much useful to understand the financial and operational
position of the business concern.
 External analysis mainly depends on the published financial statement of the concern.
This analysis provides only limited information about the business concern.

B. Internal Analysis
 The company itself does disclose some of the valuable information to the business
concern in this type of analysis.
 This analysis is used to understand the operational performances of each and every
department and unit of the business concern.
 Internal analysis helps to take decisions regarding achieving the goals of the business
concern.

2. Based on Method of Operation


Based on the methods of operation, financial statement analysis may be classified into
two major types such as horizontal analysis and vertical analysis.

A. Horizontal Analysis
 Under the horizontal analysis, financial statements are compared with several years
and based on that, a firm may take decisions.
 Normally, the current year’s figures are compared with the base year (base year is
consider as 100) and how the financial information are changed from one year to
another.
 This analysis is also called as dynamic analysis.

B. Vertical Analysis
 Under the vertical analysis, financial statements measure the quantities relationship of
the various items in the financial statement on a particular period.
 It is also called as static analysis, because, this analysis helps to determine the
relationship with various items appeared in the financial statement.

LIMITATIONS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS:

Analysis of financial statements helps to ascertain the strength and weakness of the
business concern, but at the same time it suffers from the following limitations.
1. It analyses what has happened till date and does not reflect the future.
2. It ignores price level changes.
3. Financial analysis takes into consideration only monetary matters, qualitative aspects are
ignored.
4. The conclusions of the analysis is based on the correctness of the financial statements.
5. Analysis is a means to an end and not the end itself.
6. As there is variation in accounting practices followed by different firms a valid comparison
of their financial analysis is not possible.

TECHNIQUES OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS:


Financial statement analysis is interpreted mainly to determine the financial and
operational performance of the business concern. A number of methods or techniques are

8
used to analyse the financial statement of the business concern. The following are the
common methods or techniques, which are widely used by the business concern.
1. Comparative Statement Analysis
A. Comparative Income Statement Analysis
B. Comparative Balance Sheet Statement Analysis
2. Trend Analysis
3. Common Size Analysis
4. Fund Flow Statement
5. Cash Flow Statement
6. Ratio Analysis

COMPARATIVE STATEMENT ANALYSIS

Comparative statement analysis is an analysis of financial statement at different period


of time. This statement helps to understand the comparative position of financial and
operational performance at different period of time.
Comparative financial statements again classified into two major parts such as
comparative balance sheet analysis and comparative profit and loss account analysis.

1. Comparative Balance Sheet Analysis


 Comparative balance sheet analysis concentrates only the balance sheet of the concern
at different period of time.
 Under this analysis the balance sheets are compared with previous year’s figures or
one-year balance sheet figures are compared with other years.
 Comparative balance sheet analysis may be horizontal or vertical basis. This type of
analysis helps to understand the real financial position of the concern as well as how
the assets, liabilities and capitals are placed during a particular period.

2. Comparative Profit and Loss Account Analysis


 Another comparative financial statement analysis is comparative profit and loss
account analysis.
 Under this analysis, only profit and loss account is taken to compare with previous
year’s figure or compare within the statement.
 This analysis helps to understand the operational performance of the business concern
in a given period. It may be analyzed on horizontal basis or vertical basis.

TREND ANALYSIS

 Trend analysis is a statistical method used in analyzing financial statements to


understand the trend in the components of the statements over a period of time.
 The financial statements may be analysed by computing trends of series of
information.
 Trend analysis helps to understand the trend relationship with various items, which
appear in the financial statements.
 Each component of the base year is expressed as 100%

Practical Problem: 1
From the following information, you are required to prepare a trend analysis taking 1998 as
the base year:
Particulars 1998 1999 2000 2001
Rs. Rs. Rs. Rs.
Hotel premises 2,000 2,400 2,800 2,400

Sundry debtors 800 1,200 2,000 3,200
Closing stock 1,600 2,400 3,600 4,000

Solution:

Rs. Rs. Rs. Rs. % % % %
Hotel premises 2,000 2,400 2,800 2,400 100 120 140 120
Kitchen equipment 4,000 4,800 4,800 5,600 100 120 120 140
Cash in hand 400 480 800 440 100 120 200 110

Closing stock 1,600 2,400 3,600 4,000 100 150 225 250
The base year is assumed to be 1998, and hence the entire statement of 1998 is expressed as
100%. Therefore, the percentage of Hotel Premises for 1990 is:
If Rs. 2,000 is 100%
Therfore Rs. 2,400 is ?
Percentage of Hotel Premises for 1999 = 2,400 X 100 = 120 %
2,000

Similarly, the percentage of Hotel Premises for 2000 is:


If Rs. 2,000 is 100%
Therfore Rs. 2,800 is ?
Percentage of Hotel Premises for 1999 = 2,800 X 100 = 140 %
2,000

All other percentages can be calculated accordingly.

COMMON SIZE ANALYSIS

 The common size statement represents the relationship of different items of a financial
statement with some common item by expressing each item as a percentage of the
common item.
 In the income statements, the sales figure is taken as basis and all other figures are
expressed as percentage of sales.
 Similarly, in the balance sheet the total assets and liabilities is taken as taken as base
and all other figures are expressed as percentage of this total.

Practical problems

MEANING:
Ratio is an expression of one number in relation to another. Ratio analysis is the
process of determining and interpreting the numerical relationship between figures of
financial statements.

DEFINITION:
Kennedy and Mc Millan “the relationship of an item to another expressed in simple
mathematical form is known as a ratio”

OBJECTIVES:

The objectives of using ratios are to test the profitability, financial position (liquidity
and solvency) and the operating efficiency of a concern.

ADVANTAGES OF RATIO ANALYSIS:


Ratio analysis is an important technique in financial analysis. It is a means for judging
the financial soundness of the concern. The advantages of accounting ratios are as follows:
1. It is a useful device for analysing the financial statements.
2. It simplifies, summarizes the accounting figures to make it understandable.
3. It helps in financial forecasting.
4. It facilitates interfirm and intrafirm comparisons.
Ratio analysis is useful in finding the strength and weakness of a business concern. After
identifying the weakness, the ratios are also helpful in determining the causes of the
weakness.

20
CLASSIFICATION OF RATIOS

The classification of ratios on the basis of purpose is as follows:


Ratios

Liquidity Solvency Profitability Activity

(Turnover)

1. Current Ratio 1. Debt-Equity Ratio 1. Gross Profit Ratio 1. Capital Turnover Ratio
2. Liquid Ratio 2. Proprietory Ratio 2. Net Profit Ratio 2. Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio
3. Absolute Liquid Ratio 3. Operating Profit Ratio 3. Stock Turnover Ratio
4.. Operating Ratio 4. Debtors Turnover Ratio
5. Creditors Turnover Ratio

I. LIQUIDITY RATIOS
Liquidity Ratios measure the firms’ ability to pay off current dues i.e.,repayable
within a year. Liquidity ratios are otherwise called as Short Term Solvency Ratios. The
important liquidity ratios are
1. Current Ratio
2. Liquid Ratio
3. Absolute Liquid Ratio

1. CURRENT RATIO
This ratio is used to assess the firm’s ability to meet its current liabilities. The
relationship of current assets to current liabilities is known as current ratio. The ratio is
calculated as:

Current Assests
Current Ratio =
Current Liabilities

Current Assets are those assets, which are easily convertible into cash within one
year. This includes cash in hand, cash at bank, sundry debtors, bills receivable, short term
investment or marketable securities, stock and prepaid expenses.
Current Liabilities are those liabilities which are payable within one year. This
includes bank overdraft, sundry creditors, bills payable and outstanding expenses.

2. LIQUID RATIO
This ratio is used to assess the firm’s short term liquidity. The relationship of liquid
assets to current liabilities is known as liquid ratio. It is otherwise called as Quick ratio or

21
Acid Test ratio. The ratio is calculated as:

Liquid Ratio = Liquid Assets


Current Liabilities

Liquid assets means current assets less stock and prepaid expenses.

3. ABSOLUTE LIQUID RATIO


It is a modified form of liquid ratio. The relationship of absolute liquid assets to liquid
liabilities is known as absolute liquid ratio. This ratio is also called as ‘Super Quick Ratio’.
The ratio is calculated as:
Absolute Liquid Assets
Absolute Liquid Ratio =
Liquid Liabilities
Absolute liquid assets means cash, bank and short term investments.
Liquid liabilities means current liabilities less bank overdraft.

II. SOLVENCY RATIOS


Solvency refers to the firms ability to meet its long term indebtedness. Solvency ratio
studies the firms ability to meet its long term obligations. The following are the important
solvency ratios:
1. Debt-Equity Ratio
2. Proprietory Ratio
1. DEBT EQUITY RATIO
This ratio helps to ascertain the soundness of the long term financial position of the
concern. It indicates the proportion between total long term debt and shareholders funds. This
also indicates the extent to which the firm depends upon outsiders for its existence. The ratio
is calculated as:

Total long term Dept


Debt-Equity Ratio =
Shareholders funds

Total long term debt includes Debentures, long term loans from banks and financial
institutions. Shareholders funds includes Equity share capital, Preference share capital,
Reserves and surplus.

2. PROPRIETORY RATIO
This ratio shows the relationship between proprietors or shareholders funds and total
tangible assets. The ratio is calculated as:
Shere holders funds (Propreitors funds)
Proprietory Ratio =
Total tangible assets

Tangible assets will include all assets except goodwill, preliminary expenses etc.
(Note : All solvency ratios are expressed as a proportion.)
22
III. PROFITABILITY RATIOS
Efficiency of a business is measured by profitability. Profitability ratio measures the
profit earning capacity of the business concern. The important profitability ratios are
discussed below:
1. Gross Profit Ratio
2. Net Profit Ratio
3. Operating Profit Ratio
4. Operating Ratio
1. GROSS PROFIT RATIO
This ratio indicates the efficiency of trading activities. The relationship of Gross profit
to Sales is known as gross profit ratio. The ratio is calculated as:
Gross Profit
Gross Profit Ratio = x 100
Sales
Gross profit is taken from the Trading Account of a business concern.
Otherwise Gross profit can be calculated by deducting cost of goods sold from sales.
Sales means Net sales.
Gross Profit = Sales –– Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold = Opening Stock + Purchases –– Closing Stock
(or)
Sales –– Gross Profit

2. NET PROFIT RATIO


This ratio determines the overall efficiency of the business. The relationship of
Net profit to Sales is known as net profit ratio. The ratio is calculated as:

Net Profit
Net Profit Ratio = x 100
Sales

Net profit is taken from the Profit and Loss account of the business concern or the
gross profit of the concern less administration expenses, selling and distribution expenses and
financial expenses.

3. OPERATING PROFIT RATIO


This ratio is an indicator of the operational efficiency of the management. It
establishes the relationship between Operating profit and Sales. The ratio is calculated as:

Operating Profit
Operating Profit Ratio = x 100
Sales

Where operating profit is Net profit + Non-operating expenses – Non-operating income.


Where, Non-operating expenses are interest on loan and loss on sale of assets.
Non-operating income are dividend, interest received and profit on sale of asset. (or)
23
Operating profit = Gross profit – Operating expenses.
Operating expenses include administration, selling and distribution expenses.
Financial expenses like interest on loan are excluded for this purpose.

4. OPERATING RATIO
This ratio determines the operating efficiency of the business concern. Operating
ratio measures the amount of expenditure inurred in production, sales and distribution of
output. The relationship between Operating cost to Sales is known as Operating Ratio. The
ratio is calculated as:

Cost of goods sold+ Operating expenses


Operating Ratio = x 100
sales
(Note: All profitability ratios will be expressed in terms of percentage.)

IV. ACTIVITY RATIOS


Activity ratios indicate the performance of the business. The performance of a
business is judged with its sales (turnover) or cost of goods sold. These ratios arethus referred
to as turnover ratios. A few important activity ratios are discussed below:
1. Capital turnover ratio
2. Fixed assets turnover ratio
3. Stock turnover ratio
4. Debtors turnover ratio
5. Creditors turnover ratio

1. CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIO


This shows the number of times the capital has been rotated in the process of carrying
on business. Efficient utilisation of capital would lead to higher profitability. The relationship
between Sales and Capital employed is known as Capital Turnover Ratio. The ratio is
calculated as:
Sales
Capital Turnover Ratio =
Capital Employed

Where Sales means Sales less sales returns and Capital employed refers to total long
term funds of the business concern i.e., Equity share capital, Preference share capital,
Reserves and surplus and Long term borrowed funds.

2. FIXED ASSETS TURNOVER RATIO


This shows how best the fixed assets are being utilised in the business concern. The
relationship between Sales and Fixed assets is known as Fixed assets turnover ratio. The
ratio is calculated as:
Sales
Fixed assets turnover Ratio =
Fixed Assets

Fixed assets means Fixed assets less depreciation.


24
3. STOCK TURNOVER RATIO
This ratio is otherwise called as inventory turnover ratio. It indicates whether stock
has been efficiently used or not. It establishes a relationship between the cost of goods sold
during a particular period and the average amount of stock in the concern. The ratio is
calculated as:
Cost of goods sold
Stock turnover Ratio =
Average stock

Opening stock + closing stock


Average stock =
2
If information to calculate average stock is not given then closing stock may be taken
as average stock.

4. DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO


This establishes the relationship between credit sales and average accounts receivable.
Debtors turnover ratio indicates the efficiency of the business concern towards the collection
of amount due from debtors. The ratio is calculated as:
Credit Sales
Debtors turnover Ratio =
Average Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable includes sundry debtors and bills receivable.


Opening (debtors + bills receivable)
Average Accounts Receivable =
+ Closing (debtors + bills receivable)
2
In case credit sales is not given, total sales can be taken as credit sales

5. CREDITORS TURNOVER RATIO:


This establishes the relationship between credit purchases and average accounts
payable. Creditors turnover ratio indicates the period in which the payments are made to
creditors. The ratio is calculated as:

Credit Purchases
Creditors turnover Ratio =
Average Accounts payable

Accounts payable include sundry creditors and bills payable.

Opening (creditors + bills payable)


Average Accounts Receivable =
+ Closing (creditors + bills payable)
2

25
In case credit purchases is not given total purchases can be taken as credit purchases.
(Note: All turnover ratios will be expressed in terms of times.)

VI FINANCIAL RATIOS

A company can finance its assets either with equity or debt. Financing through debt
involves risk because debt legally obligates the company to pat interest and to repay the
principal as promised. Equity financing does not obligate the company to any anything, but
dividends are paid.
1. Debt to assets ratio
2. Long term debt to assets ratio
3. Debt to equity ratio

1. Debt to assets ratio:


Debt to assets ratio indicates the proportion of assets that are financed with debt (both short –
term and long- term debt):
Total debt
Total debt to assets ratio= __________
Total Assets

2. Long term debt to assets ratio


Long term debt to assets ratio indicates the proportions of the company’s assets that are
financed with long- term debt.

Long term debt to assets ratio = _______________
Total Assets

3. Debt to equity ratio


Debt to equity indicates the relative uses of debt and equity as sources of capital to
finance the company’s assets, evaluated using book values of the capital sources.

DUPONT ANALYSIS
DuPont Analysis (also known as the DuPont identity, Du Pont equation, DuPont
Model or the DuPont method) is an expression which breaks ROE (return on equity) into
three parts.
The name comes from the DuPont Corporation that started using this formula in the
1920s. DuPont explosives salesman Donaldson Brown invented this formula in an internal
efficiency report in 1912.
DEFINITION
DuPont analysis is a model widely used in financial ratio analysis to designate the
ability of a company to increase its return on equity ratio (ROE). The model breaks down
ROE ratio into three components: profit margin, asset turnover, and financial leverage.
FORMULA
The DuPont model is expressed as follows:

ROE = Profit margin × Asset Turnover × Financial Leverage


Or
Net Income Net Sales Total Assets
ROE = × ×
Net Sales Total Assets Total Shareholders’ Equity

OBJECTIVE:
The goal of DuPont analysis isn’t to calculate ROE but to identify factors affecting it.
If investors are not satisfied with the current ROE ratio, management can analyze what
problems caused its current value and attempt to solve them.
DUPONT MODEL INTERPRETATION
DuPont analysis breaks down return on equity into three major components to determine the
impact of each of them.
 Profit margin. This ratio reflects a company’s strength in generating profit from each
dollar of sales.
 Asset turnover. This ratio measures how efficiently a company uses its assets to
generate sales.
 Financial leverage or equity multiplier. This ratio shows the extent to which a
company uses debt financing. The greater the value of a ratio, the greater the risk and
uncertainly of expected ROE.

To Net Profit 80,000

2,19,000 2,19,000

Solution:

(a) Gross Profit Ratio = Gross Profit ÷ Sales × 100

= 2,01,000 ÷ 5,60,000 × 100 = 35.89%

(b) Net Profit Ratio = Net Profit ÷ Sales × 100

= 80,000 ÷ 5,60,000 × 100 = 14.28%


(c) Operating Ratio = Cost of sales + operating expenses ÷ sales × 100

(i) Cost of sales = Sales – Gross Profit

Cost of sales = 5,60,000 – 2,01,000

= 3,59,000

So Operating Ratio = Cost of sale + operating expenses ÷ Sales × 100

= 3,59,000 + 1,09,000 ÷ 5,60,000 × 100


32
= 4,68,000 ÷ 5,60,000 × 100

= 83.57 %

(Operating expenses = Administrative expenses and Selling & marketing exp.)

(d) Administrative expenses = Administrative expenses ÷ Sales × 100

= 20,000 ÷ 5,60,000 × 100

= 3.57 %

Equity = Equity Share (Shareholders fund) + Retained Earnings

= 70,000
2,80,00 + 1,60,000

= 70,000
3,40,000

= 0.20

(d) Proprietary Ratio = Equity Share (Shareholders Fund) ÷ Total Assets

Equity Share = 2,80,000, Retained earnings = 60,000.

Total Equity = 3,40,000.

= 3,40,000 = 0.66
5,15,000

(e) Stock Turnover Ratio = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average Stock

Net Sales Less Gross Profit = Cost of sales

= 9,50,000 – 6,38,500 = 3,11,500

Average Stock = Opening Stock + Closing stock ÷ 2

= 80,000 + 1,19,000 ÷ 2

= 99,500

Stock Turnover Ratio = Cost of sale ÷ Average Stock

= 3,11,500 ÷ 99,500

= 3.14

(f) Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio = Cost of goods sold ÷ Fixed Assets

= 3,11,500 ÷ 3,50,000 = 0.89

(g) Net Profit Ratio = Net Profit ÷ Net Sales x 100

= 3,89,000 ÷ 9,50,000 x 100

= 41%

Bills Payable 30,000 Cash 20,000
Taxes Payable 20,000
2,44,000 2,44,000
Solution:

(a) Current Ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities

Inventory + Debtors + Cash + Short term Investment


= Bills Payable + Taxes Payable

= 1,00,000 + 60,000 + 20,000 + 24,000

30,000 + 20,000

= 2,04,000 = 4.08
50,000

(b) Acid Test / Quick Ratio = Quick Assets ÷ Current Liabilities

Quick assets includes all current assets items except inventories and prepaid expenses

= Debtors + Short term investment + Cash = 60,000 + 24,000 + 20,000

Bills payable + Taxes payable 30,000 + 20,000

= 1,04,000 = 2.08
50,000

36
(c) Debtors Turnover Ratio = Credit Sales ÷ Average Debtors

Average Debtors = Opening value + Closing value ÷ 2

= 60,000 + 40,000 ÷ 2 = 1,00,000 ÷ 2 = 50,000

Credit sales = 2,40,000

Debtors Turnover Ratio = 2,40,000 = 4.08


50,000

(d) Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average Inventory

Cost of goods sold = Opening stock + Purchases – Closing stock

= 80,000 + 1,20,000 – 1,00,000 = 1,00,000

Average Inventory = Stock in beginning + Stock at end ÷ 2

= 80,000 + 1,00,000 ÷ 2

= 90,000

So Inventory Turnover Ratio = 1,00,000 ÷ 90,000

= 1.1
(e) Total debts to Shareholder’s equity =

Mortgage loan + Bills payable + Taxes payable


= Equity Share Capital + Preference Capital + Retained Earnings (Profit & Loss)

FUNDS FLOW STATEMENT


Funds flow statement is one of the important tools, which is used in many ways. It helps to
understand the changes in the financial position of a business enterprise between the beginning and
ending financial statement dates. It is also called as statement of sources and uses of funds.

Definition of Funds Flow Stataement:


Smith and Brown defines as, "Funds Flow Statement is prepared to indicate in summary form,
changes occurring in items of financial position between two different balance sheet dates."
Institute of Cost and Works Accounts of India, funds flow statement is defined as “a statement
prospective or retrospective, setting out the sources and application of the funds of an enterprise. The
purpose of the statement is to indicate clearly the requirement of funds and how they are proposed to be
raised and the efficient utilization and application of the same”.

Uses / advantages of Fund Flow Statement :


1. Fund flow statement helps the management in the assessment of long range forecasts of a cash
requirements and availability of liquid resources. The manager can judge the quality of management
decisions.
2. With the help of Fund Flow Statement, the investors are able to measure as to how the company has
utilized the funds supplied by them and its financial strength. Also, the investors can judge the
company’s capacity to generate funds from operations.
3. It serves as effective tools to the Management for economic analysis as it supplies additional
information which can not be provided by financial statement based on historical data.
4. Fund flow statement explains the relationship between changes in working capital and net profits.
5. Fund flow statement helps the management in making planning process of a company. It is also
useful in assessing the resources available and the manner of utilization of the resources.
6. It explains the financial consequences of business activities. It also provides explicit and clean
answer to questions regarding liquid and solvency position of the company.
7. Fund Flow Statement provides clues to the creditors and financial institutions as to the ability of a
company to use funds effectively in the best interest of the investors, creditors and owners of the
company.

Limitations of Fund Flow Statements


1. It should not be overlooked that Fund Statements ignore non-cash transactions, therefore it is
considered as cruder device than the financial statement.
2. Fund Flow Statements merely rearrange a part of the information contained in financial statements.
They do not serve as original evidence of financial status.
3. Though changes in cash resources are more significant, they are not highlighted by Fund Statements
except being shown by them as a part of working capital.
4. As Fund Flow Statements are prepared from information provided by financial statements, they are
essentially historical in nature.

40
PROCEDURES FOR PREPARING FUNDS FLOW STATEMENT
The preparation of a funds flow statement consists of three steps
1. Schedule of changes in working capital which shows whether there is increase in working
capital or decrease in working capital.
2. Funds from operation or adjusted profit and loss account which exhibits funds from operation
3. Funds flow statement reveals the sources and uses of funds

I. The preparation of Statement of Schedule of Changes in Working Capital is as follows.

Effects of Fund Flow on Working Capital


 Increase in the current year current assets than previous year - Increase in Working Capital
 Decrease in the current year current assets than previous year -Decrease in Working Capital
 Increase in the current year current liabilities than previous year - Decrease in Working Capital
 Decrease in the current year current liabilities than previous year - Increase in Working Capital

1. Adequate funds have to be ensured.


2. Financial Planning helps in ensuring a reasonable balance between outflow and inflow of funds
so that stability is maintained.
3. Financial Planning ensures that the suppliers of funds are easily investing in companies which
exercise financial planning.
4. Financial Planning helps in making growth and expansion programmes which helps in long-run
survival of the company.
5. Financial Planning reduces uncertainties with regards to changing market trends which can be
faced easily through enough funds.
6. Financial Planning helps in reducing the uncertainties which can be a hindrance to growth of the
company. This helps in ensuring stability an d profitability in concern.

Process of Financial Planning

 Preparation of sales conjecture (assumption) .


 Decide the number of funds – fixed and working capital.
 Conclude the expected benefits and profile ts to decide the number of funds that can be provided
through internal sources.
 This causes us to evaluate the requirement from external sources.
 Recognize the conceivable sources and set up the money spending plans consolidating these
variables.

CAPITALIZATION
MEANING OF CAPITAL
The term capital refers to the total investment of the company in terms of money, and assets. It is also
called as total wealth of the company.
The capital requirements of the business concern may be classified into two categories:
(a) Fixed capital
(b) Working capital.

Fixed Capital
Fixed capital is the capital, which is needed for meeting the permanent or long-term purpose of the
business concern. Fixed capital is required mainly for the purpose of meeting capital expenditure of the
business concern and it is used over a long period. It is the amount invested in various fixed or
permanent assets, which are necessary for a business concern.
Definition of Fixed Capital
According to the definition of Hoagland, “Fixed capital is comparatively easily defined to include land,
building, machinery and other assets having a relatively permanent existence”.

Character of Fixed Capital


● Fixed capital is used to acquire the fixed assets of the business concern.
● Fixed capital meets the capital expenditure of the business concern.
● Fixed capital normally consists of long period.
● Fixed capital expenditure is of nonrecurring nature.
● Fixed capital can be raised only with the help of long-term sources of finance.
Working Capital
Working capital is the capital which is needed to meet the day-to-day transaction of the business
concern. It may cross working capital and net working capital. Normally working capital consists of
various compositions of current assets such as inventories, bills, receivable, debtors, cash, and bank
balance and prepaid expenses.
According to the definition of Bonneville, “any acquisition of funds which increases the current
assets increase the Working Capital also for they are one and the same”.
Working capital is needed to meet the following purpose:
● Purchase of raw material
● Payment of wages to workers
● Payment of day-to-day expenses
● Maintenance expenditure etc.

54
CAPITALIZATION: Meaning
Capitalization refers to the process of determining the quantum of funds that a firm needs to run
its business. Capitalization is only the par value of share capital and debenture and it does not include
reserve and surplus.

Definition of Capitalization
According to Guthman and Dougall, “capitalization is the sum of the par value of stocks and bonds
outstanding”.
According to Arhur. S. Dewing, “capitalization is the sum total of the par value of all shares”.

TYPES OF CAPITALIZATION
Capitalization may be classified into the following three important types based on its nature:
• Over Capitalization
• Under Capitalization
• Water Capitalization
1. Over Capitalization
Over capitalization refers to the company which possesses an excess of capital in relation to its
activity level and requirements. In simple means, over capitalization is more capital than actually
required and the funds are not properly used.
According to Bonneville, Dewey and Kelly, over capitalization means, “when a business is unable
to earn fair rate on its outstanding securities”.
Example
A company is earning a sum of Rs. 50,000 and the rate of return expected is 10%. This company will be
said to be properly capitalized. Suppose the capital investment of the company is Rs. 60,000, it will be
over capitalization to the extent of Rs. 1,00,000. The new rate of earning would be:
50,000/60,000×100=8.33%
When the company has over capitalization, the rate of earnings will be reduced from 10% to 8.33%.
Causes of Over Capitalization
Over capitalization arise due to the following important causes:
• Over issue of capital by the company.
• Borrowing large amount of capital at a higher rate of interest.
• Excessive payment for acquisition of goodwill.
2. High rate of taxation.
3. Under estimation of capitalization rate.
Effects of Over Capitalization
Over capitalization leads to the following important effects:
• Reduce the rate of earning capacity of the shares.
• Difficulties in obtaining necessary capital to the business concern.
• It leads to fall in the market price of the shares.
• It creates problems on re-organization.
55
• It leads under or misutilisation of available resources.
Remedies for Over Capitalization
Over capitalization can be reduced with the help of effective management and systematic design of the
capital structure. The following are the major steps to reduce over capitalization.
• Efficient management can reduce over capitalization.
• Redemption of preference share capital which consists of high rate of dividend.
• Reorganization of equity share capital.
• Reduction of debt capital.
2. Under Capitalization
Under capitalization is the opposite concept of over capitalization and it will occur when the company’s
actual capitalization is lower than the capitalization as warranted by its earning capacity. Under
capitalization is not the so called inadequate capital.
Under capitalization can be defined by Gerstenberg, “a corporation may be under capitalized when
the rate of profit is exceptionally high in the same industry”.
Hoagland defined under capitalization as “an excess of true assets value over the aggregate of
stocks and bonds outstanding”.
Causes of Under Capitalization
Under capitalization arises due to the following important causes:
• Under estimation of capital requirements.
• Under estimation of initial and future earnings.
• Maintaining high standards of efficiency.
Effects of Under Capitalization
Under Capitalization leads certain effects in the company and its shareholders.
• It leads to manipulate the market value of shares.
• It increases the marketability of the shares.
xi Consumers feel that they are exploited by the company.
xii It leads to high competition.
Remedies of Under Capitalization
Under Capitalization may be corrected by taking the following remedial measures:
= Under capitalization can be compensated with the help of fresh issue of shares.
= Increasing the par value of share may help to reduce under capitalization.
= Under capitalization may be corrected by the issue of bonus shares to the existing shareholders.
= Reducing the dividend per share by way of splitting up of shares.

3. Watered Capitalization
If the stock or capital of the company is not mentioned by assets of equivalent value, it is called as
watered stock. In simple words, watered capital means that the realizable value of assets of the company
is less than its book value.
According to Hoagland’s definition, “A stock is said to be watered when its true value is less than
its book value.”

56
Causes of Watered Capital
Generally watered capital arises at the time of incorporation of a company but it also arises during the
life time of the business. The following are the main causes of watered capital:
1. Acquiring the assets of the company at high price.
2. Adopting ineffective depreciation policy.
3. Worthless intangible assets are purchased at higher price.

A. Meaning of Capital Structure B. Factors determining capital structure C. Point of


indifference D. Practical problems

Meaning of Capital Structure


Capital structure refers to the kinds of securities and the proportionate amounts that make up
capitalization. It is the mix of different sources of long-term sources such as equity shares, preference
shares, debentures, long-term loans and retained earnings.
The term capital structure refers to the relationship between the various long-term source financing
such as equity capital, preference share capital and debt capital.

Definition of Capital Structure


According to the definition of Presana Chandra, “The composition of a firm’s financing consists
of equity, preference, and debt”.
According to the definition of R.H. Wessel, “The long term sources of fund employed in a
business enterprise”.

FINANCIAL STRUCTURE
The term financial structure is different from the capital structure. Financial structure shows the pattern
total financing. It measures the extent to which total funds are available to finance the total assets of the
business.
Financial Structure = Total liabilities
Or
Financial Structure = Capital Structure + Current liabilities.

57
The following points indicate the difference between the financial structure and capital structure.

Financial Structures Capital Structures

1. It includes both long-term and short-term sources of 1. It includes only the long-term sources
funds
2. It means the entire liabilities side of the balance sheet. 2. It means only the long-term liabilities of
the company.

3. Financial structures consist of all sources of capital. 3. It consists of equity, preference and
retained earning capital.
4. It will not be more important while determining the 4. It is one of the major determinations of
value of the firm. the value of the firm.

POINT OF INDIFFERENCE:
The cost indifference point analysis tool determines the point at which there is no difference in
cost between two alternative methods. Used to compare two strategies, this analysis can be used to
decide between different cost structures or selling prices.

Example
From the following information, calculate the capitalization, capital structure and financial structures.

Equity share capital 50,000 Fixed assets 25,000
Preference share capital 5,000 Good will 10,000

OPTIMUM CAPITAL STRUCTURE


Optimum capital structure is the capital structure at which the weighted average cost of capital is
minimum and thereby the value of the firm is maximum.
Optimum capital structure may be defined as the capital structure or combination of debt and equity,
that leads to the maximum value of the firm.
Objectives of Capital Structure
Decision of capital structure aims at the following two important objectives:
1. Maximize the value of the firm.
2. Minimize the overall cost of capital.
Forms of Capital Structure
Capital structure pattern varies from company to company and the availability of finance. Normally the
following forms of capital structure are popular in practice.
• Equity shares only.
• Equity and preference shares only.
• Equity and Debentures only.
• Equity shares, preference shares and debentures.

FACTORS DETERMINING CAPITAL STRUCTURE


The following factors are considered while deciding the capital structure of the firm.

1. Leverage
It is the basic and important factor, which affect the capital structure. It uses the fixed cost financing
such as debt, equity and preference share capital. It is closely related to the overall cost of capital.
2. Cost of Capital
Cost of capital constitutes the major part for deciding the capital structure of a firm. Normally long- term
finance such as equity and debt consist of fixed cost while mobilization. When the cost of capital
increases, value of the firm will also decrease. Hence the firm must take careful steps to reduce the cost
of capital.

59
(a) Nature of the business: Use of fixed interest/dividend bearing finance depends upon the nature
of the business. If the business consists of long period of operation, it will apply for equity than
debt, and it will reduce the cost of capital.
(b) Size of the company: It also affects the capital structure of a firm. If the firm belongs to large
scale, it can manage the financial requirements with the help of internal sources. But if it is small
size, they will go for external finance. It consists of high cost of capital.
(c) Legal requirements: Legal requirements are also one of the considerations while dividing the
capital structure of a firm. For example, banking companies are restricted to raise funds from
some sources.
(d) Requirement of investors: In order to collect funds from different type of investors, it will be
appropriate for the companies to issue different sources of securities.

3. Government policy
Promoter contribution is fixed by the company Act. It restricts to mobilize large, long-term funds
from external sources. Hence the company must consider government policy regarding the capital
structure.

CHAPTER: 8 WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

A. Concept of working capital B. Factors determining working capital needs C. Over trading
and under trading

DEFINITION OF WORKING CAPITAL


According to the definition of Shubin, “Working Capital is the amount of funds necessary to
cover the cost of operating the enterprises”.
According to Weston and Brigham, “Working capital generally stands for excess of current assets
over current liabilities. Working capital management therefore refers to all aspects of the administration
of both current assets and current liabilities”.

CONCEPT OF WORKING CAPITAL


Working capital can be classified or understood with the help of the following two important concepts.

60
1. Gross Working Capital
Gross Working Capital is the general concept which determines the working capital concept.
Thus, the gross working capital is the capital invested in total current assets of the business concern.
Gross Working Capital is simply called as the total current assets of the concern.
Gross Working Capital = Current Assets
2. Net Working Capital
Net Working Capital is the specific concept, which, considers both current assets and current liability of
the concern. Net Working Capital is the excess of current assets over the current liability of the concern
during a particular period. If the current assets exceed the current liabilities it is said to be positive
working capital; it is reverse, it is said to be Negative working capital.
Net Working Capital = Current Asset – Current Liabilities

COMPONENT OF WORKING CAPITAL


Working capital constitutes various current assets and current liabilities. This can be illustrated by the
following chart.

FACTORS DETERMINING WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS


1) Nature of Business : The quantum of Working Capital required by a business organisation is
related to the type and nature of its business activities. Public utilities (like railway companies) require
less Working Capital as they sell services on cash basis only. But a trading organisation requires
proportionately larger amount of Working Capital as it has to carry large inventories and allow credit to
customers.
2) Size of Business : It is an important factor for determining the proportion of Working Capital.
If the size of the business organisation in big, it require more Working Capital. On the other hand, small
scale organisation requires less amount of Working Capital.
61
3) Production Policies : Production policies of a business organisation exert considerable
influence on the requirement of Working Capital. But production policies depend on the nature of
product. The level of production, decides the investment in current assets which in turn decides the
quantum of working capital required.
4) Terms of Purchase and Sale : A business organisation making purchases of goods on credit
and selling the goods on cash terms would require less Working Capital whereas an organisation selling
the goods on credit basis would require more Working Capital. If the payment is to be made in advance
to suppliers, then large amount of Working Capital would be required.
5) Dividend Policies : Dividend policies of a business organisation also influence the
requirement of Working Capital. If a business is following a liberal dividend policy, it requires high
Working Capital to pay cash dividends where as a firm following a conservative dividend policy will
require less amount of Working Capital.
6) Seasonal Variations : In case of seasonal industries like Sugar, Oil mills etc. More Working
Capital is required during peak seasons as compared to slack seasons.
8) Business Cycle : Business expands during the period of prosperity and declines during the
period of depression. More Working Capital is required during the period of prosperity and less
Working Capital is required during the period of depression.
9) Change in Technology : Changes in Technology as regards production have impact on the
need of Working Capital. A firm using labour oriented technology will require more Working Capital to
pay labour wages regularly.
10) Inflation : During inflation a business concern requires more Working Capital to pay for raw
materials, labour and other expenses. This may be compensated to some extent later due to possible rise
in the selling price.

IMPORTANCE OF WORKING CAPITAL

a) Enables a company to meet its obligations.


b) Ensures the credit standing of a company.
c) Facilitates obtaining Credit from banks without any difficulty.
d) Ensures solvency of a company.
e) Enables a company to make prompt payments to its creditors and thereby take advantage of cash and
quantity discounts offered by them.
f) Improves the prospects of prosperity and progress of a company.
g) Enables an organisation to tide over difficult periods successfully.

OVER TRADING :

A company which is under-capitalized will try to do too much with the limited amount of capital
which it has. For example it may not maintain proper stock of stock. Also it may not extend much credit
to customers and may insist only on cash basis sales. It may also not pay the creditors on time.

UNDER TRADING :

Under-trading is the reverse of over-trading. It means keeping funds idle and not using them
properly. This is due to the under employment of assets of the business, leading to the fall of sales and
results in financial crises. This makes the business unable to meet its commitments and ultimately leads
to forced liquidation. Under trading is an aspect of over-capitalization and leads to low profit.

CHAPTER: 9 BASICS OF CAPITAL BUDGETING

A. Importance of Capital Budgeting B. Capital Budgeting appraising methods C. Payback period


D. Average rate of return E. Net Present Value F. Profitability index G. Internal rate of return
H. Practical problems

Capital Budgeting
The word Capital refers to be the total investment of a company of firm in money, tangible and
intangible assets. Whereas budgeting defined by the “Rowland and William” it may be said to be the art
of building budgets. Budgets are a blue print of a plan and action expressed in quantities and manners.
The examples of capital expenditure:
1. Purchase of fixed assets such as land and building, plant and machinery, good will, etc.
2. The expenditure relating to addition, expansion, improvement and alteration to the fixed assets.
3. The replacement of fixed assets.
4. Research and development project.

Definitions
According to the definition of Charles T. Hrongreen, “capital budgeting is a long-term planning for
making and financing proposed capital out lays.
According to the definition of Richard and Green law, “capital budgeting is acquiring inputs with
long-term return”.

Need and Importance of Capital Budgeting


1. Huge investments: Capital budgeting requires huge investments of funds, but the available
funds are limited, therefore the firm before investing projects, plan are control its capital
expenditure.
2. Long-term: Capital expenditure is long-term in nature or permanent in nature. Therefore
financial risks involved in the investment decision are more. If higher risks are involved, it needs
careful planning of capital budgeting.
3. Irreversible: The capital investment decisions are irreversible, are not changed back. Once the
decision is taken for purchasing a permanent asset, it is very difficult to dispose off those assets
without involving huge losses.
4. Long-term effect: Capital budgeting not only reduces the cost but also increases the revenue in
long-term and will bring significant changes in the profit of the company by avoiding over or
more investment or under investment. Over investments leads to be unable to utilize assets or
over utilization of fixed assets. Therefore before making the investment, it is required carefully
planning and analysis of the project thoroughly.

METHODS OF CAPITAL BUDGETING OF EVALUATION


By matching the available resources and projects it can be invested. The funds available are always
living funds. There are many considerations taken for investment decision process such as environment
and economic conditions.
63
The methods of evaluations are classified as follows:
(A) Traditional methods (or Non-discount methods)
(i) Pay-back Period Methods
(ii) Average (Accounts) Rate of Return
(B) Modern methods (or Discount methods)
(i) Net Present Value Method
(ii) Internal Rate of Return Method
(iii) Profitability Index Method

1. PAY-BACK PERIOD METHODS

Pay-back period is the time required to recover the initial investment in a project.
(It is one of the non-discounted cash flow methods of capital budgeting).

Pay – back period = Initial investment


Annual Cash inflows

Annual Cash inflows is always before depreciation and after tax

Merits of Pay-back method


The following are the important merits of the pay-back method:
1. It is easy to calculate and simple to understand.
2. Pay-back method provides further improvement over the accounting rate return.
3. Pay-back method reduces the possibility of loss on account of obsolescence.
Demerits
1. It ignores the time value of money.
2. It ignores all cash inflows after the pay-back period.
3. It is one of the misleading evaluations of capital budgeting.
Accept /Reject criteria
If the actual pay-back period is less than the predetermined pay-back period, the project would be
accepted. If not, it would be rejected.
Practical Problem: 1
Project cost is Rs. 30,000 and the cash inflows are Rs. 10,000, the life of the project is 5 years. Calculate
the pay-back period.
Pay – back period = Initial investment
Annual Cash inflows

Rs. 30,000
Pay – back period = = 3 Years
Rs. 10,000

The actual pay-back period is (3 years) less than the predetermined pay-back period (5 year), the
project would be accepted.

64
Practical Problem: 2
From the following particulars, compute Payback period.

Cash outflow Rs. 1,00,000


Annual cash inflow Rs. 25,000
(After tax before depreciation)
Estimate Life 6 years

Pay – back period = Initial investment


Annual Cash inflows

Pay – back period = Rs. 1,00,000 = 4 Years


Rs. 25,000

The actual pay-back period is (4 years) less than the predetermined pay-back period (6 year), the
project would be accepted.

Practical Problem: 3
Certain projects require an initial cash outflow of Rs. 25,000. The cash inflows for 6 years are Rs. 5,000,
Rs. 8,000, Rs. 10,000, Rs. 12,000, Rs. 7,000 and Rs. 3,000.
Solution

Year Cash Inflows (Rs.) Cumulative Cash Inflows (Rs.)


1 5,000 5,000
2 8,000 13,000
3 10,000 23,000
4 12,000 35,000
5 7,000 42,000
6 3,000 45,000

The above calculation shows that in 3 years Rs. 23,000 has been recovered Rs. 2,000, is balance out
of cash outflow. In the 4th year the cash inflow is Rs. 12,000. It means the pay-back period is three to
four years, calculated as follows
Pay-back period = 3 years+2000/12000×12 months
= 3 years 2 months.
The actual pay-back period is (3 years 2 months) less than the predetermined pay-back period (6
year), the project would be accepted.

Practical Problem: 4 25.11.2013


There are two projects A & B. Each project require an investment of Rs. 2,00,000/-. Rank these projects
according to the ‘Pay Back Period’ method on the basis of the following information:

65
PROFIT/ INFLOWS OF CASH
Years Project A Project B
1 10,000 20,000
2 20,000 40,000
3 40,000 60,000
4 50,000 80,000
5 80,000 -

Years Project A Cumulative Project B Cumulative


Cash Inflows (Rs.) Cash Inflows Cash Inflows Cash Inflows
(Rs.) (Rs.) (Rs.)
1 10,000 10,000 20,000 20,000
2 20,000 30,000 40,000 60,000
3 40,000 70,000 60,000 1,20,000
4 50,000 1,20,000 80,000 2,00,000
5 80,000 2,00,000 0 2,00,000

Project A :
The above calculation shows that in 5th years Rs. 2,00,000 has been recovered. Therefore Pay-
back period for Project A is 5 years.

Project B
The above calculation shows that in 4th years Rs. 2,00,000 has been recovered. Therefore Pay-
back period for Project B is 4 years.

Hence the pay - back period of Project B is less than Project A. Therefore Project B would be
accepted.
Practical Problem: 5 21.11.2016
A project cost Rs.25,000/-. The net profits before depreciation and tax, and tax rate 20% for the five
years. Following are the expected cash flows to be:

Years Project A
1 5,000
2 6,000
3 7,000
4 8,000
5 10,000
You are required to calculate payback period.

Years Cash inflow Cash inflow Cumulative Cash


after tax Inflows (Rs.)
1 5,000 4,000 4,000
2 6,000 4,800 8,800
3 7,000 5,600 14,400
4 8,000 6,400 20,800
5 10,000 8,000 28,800

The above calculation shows that in 4 years Rs. 20,800 has been recovered, Rs. 4,200 is balance out
66
of cash outflow. In the 5th year the cash inflow is Rs. 8,000. It means the pay-back period is four to five
years, calculated as follows
Pay-back period = 4 years+4,200/8000×12 months
= 4 years 6 months.

2. ACCOUNTING RATE OF RETURN OR AVERAGE RATE OF RETURN (ARR)


Average rate of return means the average rate of return or profit taken for considering the project
evaluation. This method is one of the traditional methods for evaluating the project proposals:

Merits
1. It is easy to calculate and simple to understand.
2. It is based on the accounting information rather than cash inflow.
3. It is not based on the time value of money.
4. It considers the total benefits associated with the project.
Demerits
1. It ignores the time value of money.
2. It ignores the reinvestment potential of a project.
3. Different methods are used for accounting profit. So, it leads to some difficulties in the
calculation of the project.
Accept/Reject criteria
If the actual accounting rate of return is more than the predetermined required rate of return, the project
would be accepted. If not it would be rejected.

ARR = Annual Average net earnings X 100


Original investment

Practical Problem: 6
A company is considering investment of Rs. 10,00,000 in a project. The following are the income
forecasts, after depreciation and tax:
1st year loss Rs. 1,00,000 4th year profit Rs. 2,00,000
nd
2 year profit Rs.3,00,000 5th year profit Rs. 2,00,000
rd
3 year profit Rs.4,00,000
Calculate the Average rate of return.

Solution:

ARR = Annual Average net earnings X 100


Original investment

Annual Average net earnings = -1,00,000 + 3,00,000 + 4,00,000 + 2,00,000 + 2,00,000


5
67
= 10,00,000 = Rs. 2,00,000
5
ARR = 2,00,000 X 100 = 20 %
10,00,000

3. NET PRESENT VALUE


Net present value method is one of the modern methods for evaluating the project proposals. In
this method cash inflows are considered with the time value of the money. Net present value describes
as the summation of the present value of cash inflow and present value of cash outflow. Net present
value is the difference between the total present value of future cash inflows and the total present value
of future cash outflows.

Merits
1. It recognizes the time value of money.
2. It considers the total benefits arising out of the proposal.
3. It is the best method for the selection of mutually exclusive projects.
4. It helps to achieve the maximization of shareholders’ wealth.
Demerits
1. It is difficult to understand and calculate.
2. It needs the discount factors for calculation of present values.
3. It is not suitable for the projects having different effective lives.
Accept/Reject criteria
If the present value of cash inflows is more than the present value of cash outflows, it would be
accepted. If not, it would be rejected.

Practical problem: 8 21.11.2015


From the following data, calculate the „Net Present Value‟ of two projects viz. X&Y and suggest which
of the two projects should be accepted assuming a discount rate of 10%:
Sl. Particulars Project X (Rs.) Project Y (Rs.)
No.
1 Initial Investment 50,000/- 60,000/-
2 Estimated Life 5 years 5 years
3 Scrap Value 1,000/- 1,000/-

The profits before depreciation and after taxes (cash flows) are as follows:
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5
Rs. Rs. Rs. Rs. Rs.
Project x 10,000 15,000 10,000 15,000 10,000
Project y 10,000 15,000 15,000 15,000 15,000

Present value at 10% of Re.1/- is as under:


Year 1 2 3 4 5 6
Factor 0.909 0.826 0.751 0.683 0.621 0.564

Scrap Value 1,000 2,000 0.621 621 1,242
Total present value 46,066 56,962
Initial investments 50,000 60,000
Net present value 3,934 3,038

Project X should be selected as net present value of project X is higher than project Y.

4. INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN


Internal rate of return is time adjusted technique and covers the disadvantages of the traditional
techniques. In other words it is a rate at which discount cash flows to zero. It is expected by the
following ratio:
Factor to be located = Investment initial
Cash inflow
Merits
1. It consider the time value of money.
2. It takes into account the total cash inflow and outflow.
3. It does not use the concept of the required rate of return.
4. It gives the approximate/nearest rate of return.
Demerits
1. It involves complicated computational method.
2. It produces multiple rates which may be confusing for taking decisions.
3. It is assume that all intermediate cash flows are reinvested at the internal rate of return.

Accept/Reject criteria
If the present value of the sum total of the compounded reinvested cash flows is greater than the present
value of the outflows, the proposed project is accepted. If not it would be rejected.

Practical problem: 8
A project costs Rs. 80,000 and is estimated to generate cash inflow of Rs. 20,000 for a period of 5 years.
Ascertain the internal rate of return (IRR).

Factor to be located = Investment initial


Cash inflow

70
F = I
C

F = 80,000
20,000
= 4

Factor of 4 should be located in annuity table II in the line of 5 years.


The discounting percentage is somewhere between 8 % and 6 %.
3.993 present value of annuity of Re. 1 8 %.
4.212 present value of annuity of Re. 1 6 %.
Since 3.993 is very near to 4.
IRR may be taken as 8 %.

5. PROBABILITY INDEX (P.I)


Probability technique refers to the each event of future happenings are assigned with relative
frequency probability. Probability means the likelihood of future event. The cash inflows of the future
years further discounted with the probability. The higher present value may be accepted.

Capital Rationing
In the rationing the company has only limited investment the projects are selected according to
the profitability. The project has selected the combination of proposal that will yield the greatest
portability.

Probability index = Present Value (present value of cash Inflows)


Initial Investment (present value of cash outflows)

Practical problem: 9
Rank the following projects in the order of their desirability according to the Net Present Value Method:

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5


Rs. Rs. Rs. Rs. Rs.
Project x 5,000 10,000 10,000 3,000 2,000
Project y 20,000 10,000 5,000 3,000 2,000

Initial investment:
Project A - `20000
Project B - `30000
Discount rate 10%

Present value `1/- @10% (discount factor) using present value tables:
Year 1 2 3 4 5 6
Factor 0.909 0.826 0.751 0.683 0.621 0.564

Solution:

Cash Inflows Present Present Value of Net Cash


Value of Rs. Inflow
Year Project X Rs. Project Y Rs. 1 @ 10% Project X Rs. Project Y Rs.
1 5,000 20,000 0.909 4,545 18,180
2 10,000 10,000 0.826 8,260 8,260
3 10,000 5,000 0.751 7,510 3,755

5 2,000 2,000 0.621 1,242 1,242

Total present value 23,606 33,486


Initial investments 20,000 30,000
Net present value 3,606 3,486

Project X

Probability index = 23,606 = 1.18


20,000

Project Y

Probability index = 33,486 = 1.12


30,000

Project X should be selected, as P.I project X is higher than project Y.
