Q.3. Five Star department stores has recently received the findings of a survey that suggest that potential sales
are being lost because many customers dislike having to use the elevator (lift) in the store and prefer to go
across the street to a competitor Moon Store which has and escalator. The elevator was purchased ten
years ago for Rs.560,000 and depreciated to a salvage value of Rs.160,000 ten years from now on the basis
of straight line basis. It can be sold today for Rs.320,000.
The escalator can be purchased for Rs.1,200,000 and would be depreciated using straight line basis to a
salvage value of Rs.400,000 in ten years. In addition, Five Star anticipates that having an escalator rather
than an elevator will increase operating income from sales by Rs.80,000 annually and decrease operating
expenses by Rs.20,000 annually. Income tax rate of Five Star is 25%.
Required;
Marks = 25

present value and profitability Index?
f) What is the replacement decision, if Five Star uses discounting rate of 16% for calculating net
present value and profitability index?
g) Calculate internal rate of return of the replacement decision.
h) Is the replacement proposal acceptable? Discuss qualitative factors in case of not accepting the
proposal when Five Stars required rate of return 10%.
Q.4. Sun Pharma intends to develop a new medicine CURA for diabetic patients. Sun Pharma invested a sum of
Rs.1,100,000 over the past two years. An amount of Rs.225,000 was spent on market research earlier in the
year. Market research suggested the price of Rs.110 per packet and the expected product life cycle of four
years.
Specialized machinery and equipment at a cost of rs.1,500,000 must be purchased to produce the
medicine. This machinery and equipment has an expected life of four years and will have no residual value
at the end of this period having maximum production capacity of 15,000 packets per year. Advertising
expenses are estimated to Rs.250,000 per annum to sell the 15,000 packets of CURA.
Based on the maximum output of 15,000 packets per year, the CURA has the following expected costs per
packet (excluding the advertising costs above);
Rs.

Materials

32.50

Labour

27.50

Overheads

42.50
102.50

Other details;
a) The cost of materials includes Rs.10 for material Zee that is currently in stock and can be used for
this product. The change is based on the original cost of Rs.10 for 100 grams material. Material Zee
is currently used other area of the business and the cost of replacing it is Rs.15 per 100 grams. The
material Zee could easily be sold at a price of Rs.12.500 per 100 grams.
b) The labour cost is the payment to employees that will be directly involved in producing the CURA.
These employees have no work at present and if the CURA is not produced, they will be fired
immediately at a cost of Rs.1,150,000. If, however, the CURA is produced, no redundancy costs will
be incurred at the end of four years.
c) The overheads include depreciation for the new machinery and equipment. The company
depreciates such assets in equal installments over their expected life with nil salvage value. All other
overheads included in the above figure are incurred in production of the CURA.

d) The business has a target capital structure of 50% equity and 50% loan capital. The market cost of
equity is 12% and the market cost of loan capital is 8%. The CURA project has the same level of risk
as that of other projects undertaken if the project is accepted; it will be financed entirely by equity.
However, the level of investment required is very small compared to the size of the business.
e) Ignore taxation.
