Definitions
A cut-off rate for the allocation of capital to investment of projects. It is the rate of return on a project that will leave unchanged the market price of the stock. Is the minimum required rate of earnings or the cut-off rate of capital expenditures. The rate of return the firm requires from investment in order to increase the value of the firm in the market price.

D1
Kr = + G NP or MP Where D1 is expected dividend at the end of the year G is Rate of growth
To make adjustment in the cost of retained earnings for tax and cost of purchasing new securities the following formula is adopted. Kr = (D/NP + G) (1-t)(1-b) or Kr = Ke(1-t)(1-b) Where Ke is rate of return available to shareholders. b is cost of purchasing new securities or brokerage costs. A firms return available to shareholders is 15%, the average tax rate of shareholders is 40% and it is expected that 2% is brokerage costs. What is the cost of retained earnings.
Cost of Equity
It refers to the maximum rate of return that the company must earn on equity finance in order to maintain the present market price of the stock. Dividend yield method: Ke = D/NP or MP Dividend yield plus growth method: Ke = (D1/NP + G) = Do(1+g)/NP+G

Assignment of Weights
Book value Weights assigned on the basis of values found on the balance sheet. The book value of the source of fund divided by the book value of total funds. Merits: 1. Simple in calculation. 2. Book values provide a usable base, when firm is not listed or security are not actively traded. 3. Analysis of capital structure i.e.,D-E ratio Demerits: 1. No relationship between book values and present economic value of various sources of capital. 2. Book value proportions are not consistent with the concept of cost of capital.
Assignment of Weights
Market value: Weights assigned on the basis of market value of the component of capital. Market value of the component of capital divided by the market value of all components of capital. Merits: 1. Values are closely approximate the actual amount to be received from their sale, representing the true value of the investors. 2. Prevailing market prices are taken into account. Demerits: 1. Very difficult to determine the market values because of frequent fluctuations. 2. Equity capital gets greater importance. 3. If the market value of the share is higher than the book value, WACC would be overstated and vice-versa.

financing plans. Fails in achieving the wealth maximization objective in the long run.
Importance CAPM
It provides a bench mark for evaluating various investments. It helps us to make an informed guess about the return that can be expected from an asset that has not yet been traded in the market.
Assumptions
Investors have same information about securities. Security returns are normally distributed. There are no restrictions on investments. Investors can borrow and lend freely at a riskless rate of interest. The market is perfect i.e., no taxes, no transaction costs, securities are completely divisible and market is competitive. Investors have homogeneous expectations. Investors seek to maximize the expected utility of their portfolios over a single period planning horizon.
CAPM
The premium for risk is the difference between market return from a diversified portfolio and the risk-free rate of return ie., beta co-efficient. Ke = Rf + (Rm Rf) Where Ke refers to Cost of equity capital (Rm Rf) refers to market risk premium refers to Beta co-efficient of the firms portfolio.
Problems
1. You are given the following facts about a firm: Risk-free rate of return is 11%. Beta co-efficient of the firm is 1.25. Compute the cost of equity capital using CAPM assuming a market return of 15% next year. What would be the cost of equity if beta rises to 1.75. The Capital Ltd. wishes to calculate its cost of equity capital using CAPM. Companys analyst found that its risk-free rate of return equals to 12%, beta equals 1.7 and the return on market portfolio equals to 14.5%.

Investment Decisions
Capital budgeting is the process of making investment decisions in capital expenditures. It is that expenditure incurred at one point of time whereas benefits of expenditure are realised at different points of time in future. It is concerned with the allocation of the firms scarce financial resources among the available market opportunities.
National importance.
PAY-BACK PERIOD
This method throws light on the length of the period by which the entire investment would be recouped from out of the future cash flows. Cash flow means net profit after tax before depreciation. Advantages: Simple to understand and easy to calculate. A project with a shorter pay-back period is preferred to the one having a longer pay-back period. This method is suited to a firm which has shortage of cash.
Disadvantages
It does not take into account the cash inflows earned after the pay-back period and hence true profitability of the projects cannot be correctly assessed. Ignores the time value of money. It does not take into consideration the cost of capital. It treats each asset individually in isolation with other assets. Cash outlay of the project PB = Annual Cash inflows
Problems
1. There are two projects X and Y. Each project requires an investment of Rs. 20,000. You are required rank these projects according to PB method. The following are the net profit before depreciation and after tax of the two projects for their respective years. Project X Rs.1000, Rs.2000, Rs.4000, Rs. 5000 and Rs.8000. Project Y, Rs.2000, Rs.4000, Rs.6000, Rs.8000. Calculate discounted pay-back period from the following information: Cost of project Rs.6 Lacs, Life of project 5 years. Annual Cash inflow Rs.2 Lacs, Cut off rate 10%.
2.
Merits / Demerits
Merits: This method is fairly a simple calculation of averages. This method takes calculations of average rate of return for the entire life of the project by taking the terminal salvage / scrap value. Demerits: Does not take into account time value of money. It does not take into account the quickness or the rapidity with which the investment is recouped.
Problems
1. A project requires an investment of Rs.5 Lacs and has a scrap value of Rs.20,000 after five years. It is expected to yield profits after depreciation and taxes during the five years amounting to Rs.40,000, Rs.60,000, Rs.70,000, Rs.50,000 and Rs.20,000. Calculate the average rate of return on the investment. Calculate the average rate of return for projects A and B from the following:
Project B Investments (Rs.) 20,000 30,000 Expected Life (Years) 4 5 Projected net income after tax and depreciation: Years 1 2,000 3,000 2 1,500 3,000 3 1,500 2,000 4 1,000 1,000 5 1,000 If the required rate of return is 12%, which project should be undertaken? Project A
2.
Demerits More difficult to understand and operate. While comparing projects with unequal investment of funds, NPV may not give good results. It is not easy to determine the appropriate discount rate.
Problems
1. No project is acceptable unless the yield is 10%. Cash inflows of a certain project along with cash outflows are give below: Years 0 1 2 3 4 5 Outflows Rs. 1,50,000 30,000 Inflows Rs. 20,000 30,000 60,000 80,000 30,000
The salvage value at the end of the fifth year is Rs.40,000. Calculate NPV.
2. A company is considering investment in a project that costs Rs.2 Lacs. The project has an expected life of five years and zero salvage value. The company uses straight line method of depreciation. The companys rate of tax is 40%. The estimated earnings before depreciation and before tax from the project are Rs.70,000, 80,000, 1,20,000, 90,000 and 60,000 respectively. You are required to calculate the net present value at 10% and advise the company.
Steps
Determine the future net cash flows during the entire economic life of the project. Net cash inflows are estimated future profits before depreciation but after taxes. Determine rate of discount at which the PV of cash inflows is equal to PV of cash outflows. a) When annual cash flows are equal: Calculate PV factor = Initial outlay / annual cash flow Refer PV annuity tables and find out the rate at which the calculated PV factor is equal to the PV given in the table.
Steps
b) When annual cash flows are unequal over the life of the asset.
Prepare the cash flow table using an arbitrary assumed discount rate to discount the net cash flow to the PV. Find out the NPV by deducing the PV of total cash flows. If NPV is positive, apply higher rate of discount. If higher discount rate still gives a positive NPV increase the discount rate further until NPV becomes negative. If the NPV is negative at this higher rate, the IRR must be between these two rates.
Merits / Demerits
Merits: It takes into account time value of money. It considers the profitability of the projects over its entire life. It provides for uniform ranking of various proposals. It is method which ensures reliable technique of capital budgeting. Demerits: It is difficult to understand. It is difficult method of evaluation of investment proposals. This method assumes that the earnings are reinvested in the project, which is not justified.
Problems
1. A company is considering an investment proposal to purchase a machine costing Rs.2,50,000. The machine has life expectancy of five years and has no salvage value. The companys tax rate is 40%. The firm uses straight line method of depreciation. The estimated cash flows before tax after depreciation are as follows: Rs.60,000, 70,000, 90,000, 1,00,000 and 1,50,000. Calculate pay-back period, average rate of return, NPV and profitability index at 10% discount rate.
2. A company has investment opportunity costing Rs.40,000 with the following expected net cash flow after taxes and before depreciation. Year 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Net Cash flow (Rs.) 7,000 7,000 7,000 7,000 7,000 8,000 10,000 15,000 10,000 4,000
Using 10% as the cost of capital, determine the following: Pay-back period, NPV and PI at 10% discount factor, IRR with the help of 10% and 15% discount factor.
3.
A company can make either of two investments at the beginning of 2012. Assuming required rate of return @ 10% per annum. Evaluate the investment proposals under pay-back period, NPV, IRR, PI and discounted pay-back period. The forecast particulars are given below: Proposal A Proposal B Cost of Investment (Rs.) 20,000 28,000 Life (Years) 4 5 Scrap Value Nil Nil Net Income (after dep & tax) Rs. End of 2012 500 Nil End of 2013 2,000 3,400 End of 2014 3,500 3,400 End of 2015 2,500 3,400 End of 2016 3,400 It is estimated that each of the alternative proposals will require additional networking capital of Rs.2,000 which will be received back in full after the expiry of each project life. Depreciation is provided under straight line method. The present value of Re.1 to be received at the end of each year, at 10% and 14% may be utilized.

Point of Indifference
Refers to that EBIT, level at which EPS remains the same irrespective of different alternatives of debt-equity mix.
At this level of EBIT, the rate of return on capital employed is equal to the cost of debt and this is also known as breakeven level of EBIT for alternative financial plans.

Honest company ltd has the choice for raising an additional sum of Rs.20 lakhs either by raising a 10% debt or by issue of additional equity shares of Rs.100 each at par. The existing capital structure of the company consists of 2,00,000 equity shares of Rs100 each and no debt. At what level of earnings before interest and tax after the new funds are raised, would earnings per share be the same whether new funds are raised either by raising debt or issue of equity shares. tax rate 30 percent.
Traditional approach
Compromise approach Proper debt equity mix leads to a optimum capital structure. The overall cost of capital decreases up to a certain point, remains more or less unchanged for moderate increase in debt thereafter; and increases beyond a certain point.
Assumptions
There are no corporate taxes. There is a perfect market. Investors act rationally. The expected earnings of all firms have identical risk characteristics. The cut-off point of investment in a firm is capitalisation rate. All earnings are distributed to the shareholders. Risk to investors depends upon the random fluctuations of the expected earnings and the possibility that the actual value of the variables.
Theory of relevance-MM
When the corporate taxes are assumed to exist the value of firm will increase or the cost of capital will decrease with the use of debt on account of deductibility of interest charges.
Optimal capital structure can be achieved by maximising the debt mix in the equity of a firm.

Theory of Relevance
Assumptions
There are perfect capital markets. Investors behave rationally. Information about the company is available to all without any cost. There are no floatation and transaction costs. No investor is large enough to effect the market price of shares. There are either no taxes or there are no differences in the tax rates applicable to dividends and capital gains. The firm has a rigid investment policy.

Problem
Carewell ltd., the rate of capitalisation rate is 10%.It has outstanding 5,000 shares selling at Rs.100 each. The firm is contemplating the declaration of dividend of Rs.6 per share at the end of the current financial year. The company expects to have a net income of Rs 50,000 and has a proposal for making new investments of Rs.1,00,000. Show that under the MMhypothesis, the payment of dividend does not affect the value of the firm.
Theory of Relevance
Walters approach Dividend decisions are relevant and affect the value of the firm. The relationship between the IRR earned by the firm and its cost of capital is very significant in determining the dividend policy to sub serve the ultimate goal of maximising the wealth of the shareholders. Assumptions: The investments are financed through retained earnings only and the firm does not use external sources of funds. Earnings and dividends do not change while determining the value. The IRR and the cost of capital of the firm are constant. The firm has a very long life.
Walters formula
Market price of a share: D+r/k ( E D ) k Where D is dividend per share. r is IRR. k is cost of capital or capitalisation rate. E is EPS.
Gordons approach
The value of a rupee of dividend income is more than the value of a rupee of capital gain. Uncertainty of future and the shareholders discount future dividends at a higher rate. The market value of a share is equal to the present value of future stream of dividends. Market price of share: E (1- b ) k- br
