CAPITAL #UD.ETIN.
The term Capital Budgeting refers to long term planning for proposed capital outlay and their financial. It includes raising long-term funds and their utilization. It may e defined as a firm!s formal process of ac"uisition and in#estment of capital. Capital udgeting may also e defined as $The decision ma%ing process y &hich a firm e#aluates the purchase of ma'or fi(ed assets). It in#ol#es firm!s decision to in#est its current funds for addition* disposition* modification and replacement of fi(ed assets. It deals e(clusi#ely &ith in#estment proposals* &hich is essentially long-term pro'ects and is concerned &ith the allocation of firm!s scarce financial resources among the a#aila le mar%et opportunities. +ome of the e(amples of Capital ,(penditure are ? Cost of ac"uisition of permanent assets as land and uildings. ? Cost of addition* e(pansion* impro#ement or alteration in the fi(ed assets. ? -./ pro'ect cost* etc.*

De*initions9
$Capital Budgeting is long term planning for ma%ing and financing proposed capital outlays). T.12-34-,,3

$Capital udgeting is concerned &ith allocation of the firm!s scarce financial resources among the a#aila le mar%et opportunities. The consideration of in#estment opportunities in#ol#es the comparison of the e(pected future streams of earnings from a pro'ect &ith immediate and su se"uent streams of e(penditure for it). In any gro&ing concern* capital udgeting is more or less a continuous process and it is carried out y different functional areas of

management such as production* mar%eting* engineering* financial management etc. all the rele#ant functional departments play a crucial role in the capital udgeting decision are considered. The role of a finance manager in the capital udgeting asically lies in the process of critically and in-depth analysis and e#aluation of #arious alternati#e proposals* and then to select one out of them. 5s already stated* the asic o 'ecti#es of financial management is to ma(imize the &ealth of the share holders* therefore the o 'ecti#es of capital udgeting is to select those long term in#estment pro'ects that are e(pected to ma%e ma(imum contri ution to the &ealth of the shareholders in the long run.

The first rail&ay on Indian su -continent ran o#er a stretch of 21 miles from Bom ay to Thane. The idea of a rail&ay to connect Bom ay &ith Thane* @alyan and &ith the Thal and Bhore 4hats inclines first occurred to Ar. 4eorge Clar%* the chief engineer of the Bom ay 4o#ernment* during a #isit to Bhandup in 1743. The formal inauguration ceremony &as performed on 10th 5pril 1753B <hen 14 rail&ay carriage carrying a out 4?? guests left Bori Bunder at 3C3? pm $amidst the loud applause of a #ast multitude and to the salute of 21 guns). The first passenger train steamed out of 1o&rah station destined for 1oogly a distance of 24 miles* on 15th 5ugust* opened to pu lic traffic* inaugurating the eginning of rail&ay transport on the ,astern side of the su -continent. In south the first line &as opened on 1st 'uly* 1750 y the Aadras -ail&ay company. It ran et&een #eyasarpandy and <ala'ah road 95rcot:* a

distance of 03 miles. In the north a length of 11> miles of line &as laid from 5llaha ad to @anpur on 3rd march 1>5>. The first section from 1athras -oad to Aathura Cantonment &as opened to traffic on 1>th 2cto er* 1765.

ASSU+PTION IN CAPITAL #UD.ETIN.9
The capital udgeting decision process is a multi-faceted and analytical process. 5 num er of assumptions are re"uired to e made. These

assumptions constitute a general set of condition &ithin &hich the

financial aspects of different proposals are to e e#aluated. +ome of these assumptions areC 1.Certainity <ith -espect To Cost 5nd BenefitsC it is #ery difficult to estimate the cost and enefits of a proposal eyond 2-3 years in future. 1o&e#er* for a capital udgeting decision* it is assumed that the estimate of cost and enefits are reasona ly accurate and certain. 2.8rofit Aoti#eC 5nother assumption is that the capital udgeting

decisions are ta%en &ith a primary moti#e of increasing the profit of the firm. 3o other moti#e or goal influences the decision of the finance manager. 3.3o Capital -ationing C The capital Budgeting decision in the present chapter assume that there is no scarcity of capital. It assumes that a proposal &ill e accepted or re'ected in the strength of its merits alone. The proposal &ill not e considered in com ination &ith other proposals to the ma(imum utilization of a#aila le funds.

PAY #AC- PERIOD +ETHOD
The pay ac% come times called as payout or pay off period method represents the period in &hich total in#estment in permanent assets pay ac% itself. This method is ased on the principle that e#ery capital

e(penditure pays itself ac% &ith in a certain period out of the additional earnings generated from the capital assets. Decision r$"e9

? It does not ta%e into account the cash inflo&s earned after the pay ac% period and hence the true profita ility of the pro'ect cannot e correctly assessed. ? This method ignores the time #alue of the money and does not consider the magnitude and timing of cash inflo&s. ?

It is difficult to determine the minimum accepta le pay ac% period* &hich is su 'ecti#e decision. ? It treats each assets indi#idual in isolation &ith other assets* &hich is not feasi le in real practice.

ACCOUNTIN. RATE OF RETURN +ETHOD
This method ta%es into account the earnings from the in#estment o#er the &hole life. It is %no&n as a#erage rate of return method ecause under this method the concept of accounting profit 938 after ta( and depreciation: is used rather than cash inflo&s. 5ccording to this method* #arious pro'ects are ran%ed in order of the rate of earnings or rate of return.

This method cannot e applied to a situation &here in#estment in pro'ect is to e made in parts.

NET PRESENT VALUE +ETHOD
The 38M method is a modern method of e#aluating in#estment proposals. This method ta%es in to consideration the time #alue of money and attempts to calculate the return on in#estments y introducing time

element. The net present #alues of all inflo&s and outflo&s of cash during the entire life of the pro'ect is determined separately for each year y

INTERPRETATION9
The small margin of difference 9-s.761:is accounted y the error in

interpolation of the rate of the return. It &ill e seen that at the discount

rate of 21.41G* the pro'ect has reco#ered the original cost in full 9col.5:* a part from paying off interest at the same rate

FINDIN.S
? It is estimated that a capital re"uirements of 2 la%hs of crores is re"uired to complete the thousands of included in e(isting pro'ects. pro'ects already

67

? 5ctual realization of rate of return pro'ected in at the time of pro'ect appraisal &ill depend on timely completion of pro'ect &ith out any time o#er run and cost o#er run.

? The financing of -ail&ays pro'ects is organized at Indian -ail&ay le#el unli%e 8u lic +ector Hnits D8ri#ate companies &ere in Ban% Einance in#ol#ed.

CONCLUSION
? The 38M method follo&ed on -ail&ays is satisfactory.

6>

? The I-- method &or%ed to e#aluate the -ail&ay pro'ects is ased on /iscounted Cash Elo& Techni"ue.

? In this method* the unit Cost <or%ed out y traffic costing department of -ail&ay is adopted. The unit costs are updated continuously i.e.* e#ery year after closure of Einancial 5ccounts of -ail&ays.

? In the t&o pro'ects selected for studying the methods of financial e#aluation of -ail&ays pro'ects it is seen the rate of return is estimated 16G to 22G.
