Introduction:

Payback Period: Payback period is the period in which the project recovers its initial cost of the investment. It can be calculated by dividing the initial investment by the annual cash inflow from the project. The formula to calculate the Payback period is as follows:

Payback Period= Initial InvestmentAnnual Cash inflow

Hence, smaller the payback period better it is. A project with the smaller payback period is chosen first in the capital rationing process.

ARR: Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) is the rate of return earned on the investment made in a project. ARR is calculated by dividing the Average Accounting profits by Average Investment.

The formula to calculate ARR is as follows:

ARR= Average Accounting profitsAverage Investment

Hence, higher the ARR better it is. A project with the Higher ARR is chosen first in the capital rationing process.

NPV: Net present value (NPV) is the method to evaluate the project feasibility. This method calculates the present value of cash inflows and outflows, and then calculates the net present value of the investment. A project should be accepted if it has a positive NPV. The formula to calculate the NPV is as follows:

NPV = Present value of cash inflows  Present value of cash out flows

A project should be accepted if it has a positive NPV. Hence, higher the NPV better it is. A project with the Higher NPV is chosen first in the capital rationing process.

Profitability Index: Profitability Index is similar to the NPV method to evaluate a project. It calculates the ratio between the present value cash inflow and present value of cash outflow. A project should be accepted it has a profitability index greater than or equal to 1. The formula to calculate the Profitability Index is a follows:

Profitability index=Present value cash inflowPresent value of cash outflow 

A project should be accepted if it has a PI more than or equal to 1. Hence, higher the NPV better it is. A project with the Higher NPV is chosen first in the capital rationing process.

IRR: Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is the rate at which the NPV of the project is 0 or we can say that IRR is the rate of return at which the project is at breakeven. IRR is calculated using excel or approximation method.

The industrial enterprise "HUANG S.A." purchased a sorting and packaging machine from a foreign company on 1/4/2017 at a cost of €500,000. The useful life of the machine was estimated by the Management at ten (10) years, while the residual value was estimated at zero. For the transportation of the machine from abroad to the company's factory, the amount of €20,000 was paid on 15/4/2017. As the insurance coverage of the machine during transportation was the responsibility of the selling company, HUANG S.A. proceeded to insure the machine from 16/4/2017 to 15/4/2018, paying the amount of €1,200. The delivery took place on 15/4/2017. As adequate ventilation of the multifunction device is essential for its proper operation, the company fitted an air duct on the multifunction device. The cost of the air duct amounted to €2,000 and was paid on 20/4/2017. On 25/4/2017, an external electrician was paid €5,000 for the electrical connection of the device. The company also paid €5,000 to an…
