The Management of
Godavari identified that Kakinada, Vijayawada and Hyderabad are the potential areas to set up the plant. Fixed
costs per year and the variable costs per unit at each of the three locations is given below.
The product is expected to be sold at Rs.1050 and the existing demand for heaters in the market is 600 units per year. Calculate
the likely profit at cash of the location and determine the location that is the most profitable to the company.
Solution
We calculate the total costs ( sum of the fixed and variable costs) at each of the three locations when 600 units of goods are sold.
= Rs. 3,95,000
Total cost at Vijayawada = Rs. 2,50,000 + (285 x 600)
= Rs. 4,21,000
= Rs. 4,59,000
Therefore, the profits of the company if they were set up in the given locations would be as follows.
= Rs. 2,35,000
= Rs. 2,09,000
= Rs. 1,71,000
From the above calculations, it is clear that Kakinada is the most profitable location to set up the new plant for producing 600
units per year.
3. Factor Rating Technique
The factor rating technique is based on the ranking of various weighted factors that influence the choice of location. Factor
rating is used to evaluate alternative locations. The advantages are:
• It helps managers decide why one location or site is better than another
• It helps in bringing diverse location considerations into the evaluation process.
• It fosters consistency of judgment about location alternatives
The following are the steps involved in this method:
Moreover, evaluation should be more qualitative as the information required to make these decisions is often incomplete, and
prediction of future conditions difficult.
4. Indigo Glass Manufacturing Ltd. is evaluating two locations A and B for setting up of its new plant. Following are
the factors and corresponding weights assigned by the management of Indigo.
Based on the data given below, determine the location that is most suitable for setting up of a new plant.
Factor Factor Rating Location A Location B
Production cost 5 7 8
Labour availability 4 7 6
Proximity to customers 3 8 7
Availability of facilities 2 6 9
Tax advantage 2 5 2
Solution
Now, we calculate the product of factor rating and score of each location for each factor.
The sum of the scores obtained by each of the locations is calculated, and the location with the highest score is then selected.
Production cost 5 7 x 5 = 35 8 x 5 = 40
Labor availability 4 7 x 4 = 28 6 x 4 = 24
Proximity to customers 3 8 x 3 = 24 7 x 3 = 21
Availability of facilities 2 6 x 2 = 12 9 x 2 = 18
Therefore, the location A should be selected for setting up of a new plant as the total score of location A (i.e. 133) is higher than
the score of location B (i.e. 127).

COST MANAGEMENT, ESTIMATING AND COST CONTROL
A project budget is to be developed right at the early stage of a project. Normally this requires breakdown of activities and associated
costs of each activity per unit time and cumulative costs per time period. This data can then be used to draw a graphic budget profile.
The profile of the cumulative budget over time period results in what we call S-Curve.
An export oriented project is being set up near Delhi for producing high-tech medical equipment. The total estimate cost as well as the
budget cost of the project is Rs.2640 lacs. Your project estimator has furnished you with the following summarized time and cost
estimates for this project, on the basis of individual work packages.

Kwality Laboratories is a bulk drug manufacturing company which had purchased land of 4 hectares at Rs. 15 lakhs at Belapur MIDC.
Site development expenses were Rs.6 lakhs. They have applied for a term loan to IDBI. They are eligible for a State subsidy of 15% on
fixed capital investment. Debt-equity should be 2:1. A contingency provision is required to be made on buildings at 5% and on plant &
machinery at 10%. The various details of the project are given as under:
Project details Rs. Lakhs
Land 15.00
Site Development 6.00
Plant & Machinery 191.00
Buildings 50.00
Other fixed assets 40.00
Preliminary Expenses 32.00
Pre-operative expenses 30.00
Working Capital Margin 26.00
Answer:
Contingency at 5% on building cost of Rs. 50.00 = Rs.2.50 Lakhs
Contingency on P&M at 10% on Rs. 191.00 Lakhs = Rs.19.10 Lakhs
Hence total contingency is Rs.2.50 + 19.10 = Rs.21.60 Lakhs
State subsidy on fixed investment of Rs.323.60 lakhs at 15% = Rs.48.50 Lakhs.

TOTAL Project Cost 411.60
Since the debt-equity ratio prescribed for this project is 2:1,
term loans from financial institutions would be Rs.411.60 x 2/3 = Rs.274.40 lakhs.
The balance Rs.137.20 lakhs will be equity. As there is a state subsidy of Rs.48.50 lakhs which is a part of the equity, the
promoters would have to bring Rs.88.70 lakhs as their contribution for the project.
MEANS OF FINANCE
Once the cost of the project has been estimated, the next logical step is to find how best to finance it. The means of finance and the
financing mix chosen are bound to have a far reaching effect on the profitability and also the risk associated with the project.
Therefore, all the available avenues should be evaluated and the means and pattern of financing should be fixed carefully. The
financing pattern of the companies mentioned in the previous section is given below:

Sales Estimation
For products which are manufactured in the country, the basis of assuming a selling price is the pricing pattern laid down by the
government, if the products’ price is controlled by the governments or the current market price and price trends in the past. For
products which are not manufactured in the country and are being imported, the landed cost of a similar imported product is assumed
to be the selling price.
The selling price for Mini Garments was estimated to be Rs 250, Rs.190 and Rs.130 per piece of pant, shirt and kidswear. At 100%
capacity utilization, the project is estimated (as shown in table below) to produce 1,14,000 pieces of pants, 1,06,875 pieces of shirts and
1,28,250 pieces of kids wear (excluding 5% rejected material). Rejected material is expected to be sold at Rs.125, Rs.85 and Rs.65 per
piece of Pants, Shirts and Kidswear respectively. The sales realization at 50%, 60% and 80% capacity per pieces of pants, shirts and
kidswear levels is given in the table below.
The following points have to be borne in mind while estimating working results or profits:
i. The unit is assumed to sell all that it produces. That is, production is considered to be equal to sales and hence no adjustment is
necessary for opening or closing stock.
ii. Adjustments are not made for inflation. That is, projections of revenues and costs are made at today’s prices. It is assumed that
the impact of inflation on revenues will be offset by that on costs.
iii. Sales are generally estimated net of excise duty while commission paid to salesmen is shown as an expense in the income
statement.
The capacity of Mini Garments Limited at 100% levels was estimated to be 1,14,000, 1,06,875 and 1,28,250 pieces
per annum of pants, shirts, and kidswear respectively determined as follows:
Capacities at 100% levels
Its capacity utilization was estimated to be 50%, and 60% during 1st and 2nd years and 80% from 3rd year onwards.

10.00 The project cost of Rs.2,043 lakh is proposed to be financed using a combination of equity share capital, treated as subsidy. The
company proposes to maintain a debt-equity ratio of 1.57:1
10.3 The project is eligible for a state government subsidy of Rs.15 Lakh.
11. Profitability
11.01 The major assumptions underlying the estimates of cost of production and profitability are given below:
i. The installed capacity of the plant would be 14,000 tpa of glazed ceramic floor and wall tiles. The selling price was estimated to
be Rs.81.092 lakh per 1,000 tonnes.
iii. Requirement of raw material at full capacity utilization has been estimated at Rs.200 Lakh.
iv. The cost of packing material at full capacity utilization has been estimated at Rs.4 Lakh.
viii. Wages including benefits, during the III year has been estimated at Rs.28 Lakh. Escalation of 5% every year has been
considered.
x. Depreciation, for the purpose of projections, has been provided on straight line basis at 3%, 11% and 3.34% on buildings,
plant and machinery and miscellaneous fixed assets.
xi. Interest payable on term loan has been considered as 14% and on bank borrowings at 18%. Term loan is repayable in 16
equal half-yearly instalments from the beginning of the 3rd year from the sanction of loan amount.
xii. Salaries during III year has been estimated at Rs.11 Lakh and an escalation of 5% every year has been assumed.
xiii. Dividends of 20% are assumed to be payable from the third year.
xiv. Estimates of margin money for working capital are based on 2 months provision for raw materials, 1 month stock of packing
materials, 7 days stock of work-in-progress, 1 month stock of finished goods, 2 months provision of debtors, 1 month
provision of working expenses. Bank finance for working capital required has been assumed to be 75% for raw materials,
packing materials, finished goods and debtors. For work-in-progress, bank finance has been assumed to be 60%.
xv. Number of working days have been assumed to be 300 and shifts/day to be 2.
