This class is completely a revisionary class. Still there is scope of asking question through mail about any
lessons given before. Later on we shall be going to complete the assignments.

Problem 1

Using the information given below compute the payback period under (a) Traditional pay Back method
and (b) Discounted Pay back method and comment on the results.

Initial outlay Rs. 80,000

Estimated Life 5 years

Profit after Tax

End of Year 1 Rs. 6,000

2 14,000

3 24,000

4 16,000

5 Nil

Depreciation has been calculated under straight line method. The cost of capital may be taken at 20% p.
a. and the P.V. of Re.1 at 20% p.a. is given below

Year 1 2 3 4 5

P.V. Factor .83 .69 .58 .48 .40

Solution 1

(a) Traditional Pay Back

Year PAT Deprn. Cash Inflows Cumulative Cash Inflows

1 Rs. 6,000 Rs. 16,000 Rs. 22,000 Rs. 22,000

2 Rs.14,000 Rs.16,000 Rs.30,000 Rs.52,000

3 Rs.24,000 Rs.16,000 Rs.40,000 Rs.92,000

4 Rs.16,000 Rs.16,000 Rs.32,000 Rs.1,24,000

5 Nil Rs.16,000 Rs.16,000 Rs.1,40,000


Pay back period = 2 + 28000/40000 yrs. = 2.7 years

(b) Discounted Pay Back Method

Year Cash Inflow Disc Factor Disc Cash Flow Cum Disc Cash Inflow

1 Rs.22,000 .83 Rs.18,260 Rs.18,260

2 Rs.30,000 .69 Rs.20,700 Rs.38,960

3 Rs.40,000 .58 Rs.23,200 Rs. 62,160

4 Rs.32,000 .48 Rs.15,360 Rs.77,520

5 Rs.16,000 .40 Rs.6,400 Rs.83,920

Discounted Pay Back period = 4 + 3,920/6,400 = 4.61 years

TN1 As we have discussed in our class notes that if the discounting factor increases the period of pay
back period will also increase.

Problem 2

The directors of B Ltd are decided to purchase a new machine to replace a machine which has been in
operation in the factory for the last 5 years.

Ignoring interest but considering tax at 5% of net earnings suggest which of the two alternatives should
be preferred. The following are the details

Old machines New machines

Cost of Machines Rs.40,000 Rs.60,000

Life of Machine 10 years 10 years

Machine running hrs per annum 2000 2000

Units per hour 24 36

Wages per running hour 3 5.25

Power per annum 2,000 4,500

Consumables Stores per anum 6000 7500

All other Charges per annum 8,000 9,000

Material Cost per unit 0.50 0.50


Selling price per unit 1.25 1.25

Depreciation will be charged according to straight line

Solution 2

Profitability Statement

Cost of the machine Rs.40,000 Rs.60,000

Life of the machine 10 years 10 years

Output (uts) 48,000 72,000

Sales Rs.60,000 Rs.90,000

Less: Cost of Sales

Dir Mat Rs.24,000 Rs.36,000

Wages Rs.6,000 Rs.10,500

Power Rs.2,000 Rs.4,500

Cons stores Rs.6,000 Rs. 7,500

Other charges Rs.8,000 Rs.9,000

Depr Rs.4,000 Rs.6,000

Rs.50,000 Rs.73,500

Profit before Tax Rs.10,000 Rs.16,500

Tax at 50% Rs. 5,000 Rs. 8,250

Profit after Tax Rs. 5,000 Rs. 8,250

Accounting Rate of Return

Old Mach New Machine

Net Earning/Original Investment Net Earning/Original Investment

5000/40000 x 100 8250/60000 x 100

= 12.5% = 13.75%

Net Earnings/Average Investment


5000/20000 x 100 = 25% 8250/30000 x 100 = 27.5%

Incremental Earning/Incremental Investment

3250/(60000-20000) x 100 = 8%

Assuming that the old asets will be sold at book value i.e. 20,000 .Thus replacement of the old machine
by the new machine ( ignoring interest) is preferable.
