X ltd issue ₹ 50000 8% debentures at par, at premium 10%, at a discount

10%. The tax rate is 50%. Compute the cost of debt capital.

SOLUTION:

At par :

Kd = I (1 - T) I = ₹4000

NP T = 0.5

NP = 50000

= 4000 (1- 0.5)

50000

= 4%

At Premium :

Kd = I (1 - T) I = ₹4000

NP T = 0.5

NP = 50000 x 10% = 5000 + 50000=55,000

= 4000 (1-0.5)

55000

= 3.6%

At Discount :

Kd = I (1 - T) I = ₹4000

NP T = 0.5

NP = 50000 x 10% = 5000 - 50000=45,000

= 4000 (1-0.5)

CAPITAL BUDGETING

Capital budgeting is the process of making investment decisions in long term assets. It is the process of deciding whether or not to invest in a particular project as all the investment possibilities may not be rewarding.

Process of Capital Budgeting

  • Idea Generation

The most important step of the capital budgeting process is generating good investment ideas. These investment ideas can come from a number of sources like the senior management, any department or functional area, employees, or sources outside the company.

  • Planning Capital Budget

An entity must give priority to profitable projects as per the timing of the project’s cash flows, available company resources, and a company’s overall strategies. The projects that look promising individually may be undesirable strategically. Thus, prioritizing and scheduling projects is important because of the financial and other resource issues.

  • Monitoring and Conducting a Post Audit

It is important for a manager to follow up or track all the capital budgeting decisions. He should compare actual with projected results and give reasons as to why projections did not match with actual performance. Therefore, a systematic post-audit is essential in order.

TECHNIQUES OF CAPITAL BUDGETING

Capital budgeting techniques are the methods to evaluate an investment proposal in order to help the company decide upon the desirability of such a proposal. These techniques are categorized into two heads : traditional methods and discounted cash flow methods. 

  • Traditional Methods

Traditional methods determine the desirability of an investment project based on its useful life and expected returns. Furthermore, these methods do not take into account the concept of time value of money.

  • Pay Back Period Method

Payback period refers to the number of years it takes to recover the initial cost of an investment. Therefore, it is a measure of liquidity for a firm. Thus, if an entity has liquidity issues, in such a case, shorter a project’s payback period, better it is for the firm. 

  • Average Rate of Return Method (ARR)

Under ARR method, the profitability of an investment proposal can be determined by dividing average income after taxes by average investment, which is average book value after depreciation
