Q. 4 Your company is trying to decide whether to outsource its packing operations or continue to
do it in-house. The current packing machine would not do anymore; it either has to be sold or
thoroughly fixed up. Following two alternatives are available for packing operations:
! Annual in-house packing (excluding depreciation) costs are estimated to be Rs.40 million.
! Outsourcing the packing will cost Rs.50 million per year.
Other details about the two alternatives are as under:
! The company's tax rate is 34%.
! The tax written down value (WDV) of the machine is Rs.30 million, but its market value is
Rs.10 million only.
Doing the packing in-house requires an investment of Rs.20 million to fix up the existing
packing machine. For tax purposes this amount will be added in WDV and depreciated
annually at the rate of 10% of WDV. Given this investment, the machine will be good for
another five years but have no salvage value after 5 years. No tax depreciation will be
allowed in year-5 and WDV at the end of year-4 will be allowed as tax loss on disposal.

The relevant discount rate is 12%.
Required:
(a) Calculate Net Present Value (NPV) for the following options:
(i) In-house packing. 14
(ii) Outsourcing. 04
(b) (i) Advise better option and briefly state reasons thereof. 01
(ii) Briefly state other factors that should be considered while opting best option. 01
