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.
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
Solution 1
Year Cash Inflow Disc Factor Disc Cash Flow Cum Disc Cash Inflow
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
Solution 2
Profitability Statement
Rs.50,000 Rs.73,500
= 12.5% = 13.75%
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.
