A refinery company is looking to set out a refinery unit is backward areas to be sold by
central government. The central government is selling the refinery in 3 zones; east, west
and north at Rs.200 million each which will have estimated life of 5, 4 and 3 years
respectively.
The company proposes to finance the project by raising a 5 year 8% loan. Since this
investment is more risky, the project must yield a return of 10%. The anticipated Cash
flow after tax of the three projects is as follows:
a. Payback period, Accounting rate of return, NPV, IRR and PI and recommend which zone
of refinery the company should purchase. (NPV 76.44,19.37 and (-18.99); ARR 38%,
17.5%, 3.3%; IRR 21%,15%,3%, PI 1.38,1.09,.90).
b. Discuss the merits and demerits of each of the methods.
c. How would you decide the project when each of the methods gives conflicting results?
REQD:
Find out the NPV of the project at the current tax rate. 26.69 Lakhs
Would your decision change if the tax incentive is withdrawn & the regular rate
of 40% is applicable? -5.31lakhs.
Calculate the IRR under both the tax rate (13.74%, 11.63%)
The PBT is given, deduct tax at respective rate and then add back the depreciation ( You know
that it does not involve cash flow) . The Cash flow after tax is now 409.53 lakh with 28% and
378.53 for 40% tax. Now find out the present value of the salvage value (It happens at the end
of 8 years so you have to discount the value PVIF at 12% for 8 years. Then you will get
present value of cash inflows and calculate NPV.
1. A firm in the automobile component industry wants to consider two mutually exclusive
technology to produce a component. Option A cost 1600lakh and B, 1850 lakh. 8 years
cash flow are given in the table. For A, the current cost of capital of 13% is apprioate but
for B, the management like to use 15% because of the risk involved. Find out
NPV of option A and B (57.21 and 47.42 respectively)
IRR of option A and B (14.42%, 16%)
Which to consider with both the rules.
