CAPITAL BUDGETING
Solution of Practice Question No. 3:
Synergy Plastics Ltd. is considering a proposal of producing high quality plastic glasses. The necessary equipment to manufacture the glasses would cost Rs. 1 lac and would last 5 years. The tax relevant rate of depreciation is 25 per cent on WDV. There is no other asset in this block. The expected salvage value is Rs. 10,000. The glasses can be sold at Rs. 4 each. Regardless of the level of production, the manufacturer will incur cash cost of Rs. 25,000 each year if the project is undertaken. The overhead costs allocated to this new line would be Rs. 5,000. The variable costs are estimated at Rs. 2 per glass. The manufacturer estimates it will sell about 75,000 glasses per year; the tax rate is 35 per cent. Should the proposed equipment be purchased? Assume 20 per cent is the cost of capital and additional working capital requirement is Rs. 50,000. In the terminating year, no depreciation is to be charged, due to the asset been sold in the year.
Solution:
Initial Cash Outlay: Cost of Equipment = Add: W.C. Required = Initial Cash Outlay (O) = Rs. 1,00,000 Rs. 50,000 Rs. 1,50,000
Annual PBDT: Sales (75,000 4): Less: Variable Cost (75,000 2): Contribution (C): Less: Fixed Cost: Profit Before Dep. & Tax (PBDT):
