CHAPTER- I
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The term Capital Budgeting refers to long term planning for proposed capital outlay and their
financing. It includes raising long-term funds and their utilization. It may be defined as a firm’s
formal process of acquisition and investment of capital.
Capital Budgeting May also be defined as “The decision making process by which a firm
evaluates the purchase of major fixed assets. It involves firm’s decision to invest its current funds
for addition, disposition, modification and replacement of fixed assets.
It deals exclusively with investment proposals, which an essentially long term projects
and is concerned with the allocation of firm’s scarce financial resources among the available
market opportunities.
In any growing concern, capital budgeting is more or less a continuous process and it is
carried out by different functional areas of management such as production, marketing,
engineering, financial management etc. All the relevant functional departments play a crucial
role in the capital budgeting decision process of any organization, yet for the time being, only the
financial aspects of capital budgeting decision are considered.
The role of a finance manager in the capital budgeting basically lies in the process of
critically and in-depth analysis and evaluation of various alternative proposals and then to select
one out of these. As already stated, the basic objectives of financial management is to maximize
the wealth of the share holders, therefore the objectives of capital budgeting is to select those
long term investment projects that are expected to make maximum contribution to the wealth of
the shareholders in the long run.

“Capital budgeting is concerned with allocation of the firm’s scarce financial resources
among the available market opportunities. The consideration of investment opportunities
involves the comparison of the expected future streams of earnings from a project with
immediate and subsequent streams of expenditures for it”. Antle, R.; Eppen, G
“Capital budgeting is the process by which a company determines whether projects (such
as investing in R&D, opening a new branch, replacing a machine) are worth pursuing. A project
is worth pursuing if it increases the value of the company”.Clark, Ephraim;
“Capital budgeting is the process in which a business determines and evaluates potential
expenses or investments that are large in nature. These expenditures and investments include
projects such as building a new plant or investing in a long-term venture”.
Lawrence J; Forrester, J
“Capital budgeting, or investment appraisal, is the planning process used to determine
whether an organization's long term investments such as new machinery, replacement of
machinery, new plants, new products, and research development projects are worth the funding
of cash through the firm's capitalization structure (debt, equity or retained earnings). It is the
process of allocating resources for major capital, or investment, expenditures.”
Soft drinks trace their history back to the mineral waters found in natural springs. Ancient
societies believed that bathing in natural springs and/or drinking mineral waters could cure many
diseases. Early scientists who studied mineral waters included JābiribnHayyān, Alkindus,
Rhazes, Paracelsus, Robert Boyle, Friedrich Hoffmann, Antoine Laurent Lavoisier, Hermann
Bereave, William Browning, Gabriel F. Venal, Joseph Black, and David MacBride.
The earliest soft drinks were sherbets developed by Arabic chemists and originally served
in the medieval Near East. "Alkaline Substances", "A kind of Saltwort" from which soda is
obtained, probably from Arabic sowed, the name of a variety of saltwort exported from North
Africa to Sicily in the Middle Ages, related to sawed "black," the color of the plant. These were
juiced soft drinks made of crushed fruit, herbs, or flowers. From around 1265, a popular drink
known as Dandelion & Burdock appeared in England, made from fermented dandelion
(Taraxacumofficial) and burdock (Actiumlapper) roots, and is naturally carbonated. The drink
(similar to sarsaparilla) is still available today, but is made with flavorings and carbonated water,
since the safrole in the original recipe was found to be carcinogenic.
The first marketed soft drinks (non-carbonated) in the Western world appeared in the
17th century. They were made from water and lemon juice sweetened with honey. In 1676, the
Compagnie des Limonadiers of Paris was granted a monopoly for the sale of lemonade soft
drinks. Vendors carried tanks of lemonade on their backs and dispensed cups of the soft drink to
thirsty Parisians.
CARBONATED DRINKS:
In late 18th century, scientists made important progress in replicating naturally
carbonated mineral waters. In 1767, EnglishmanJoseph Priestley first discovered a method of
infusing water with carbon dioxide to make carbonated water when he suspended a bowl of
distilled water above a beer vat at a local brewery in Leeds, England. His invention of carbonated
water, (also known as soda water), is the major and defining component of most soft drinks.
Priestley found water thus treated had a pleasant taste, and he offered it to friends as a refreshing
drink. In 1772, Priestley published a paper entitled Impregnating Water with Fixed Air in which
he describes dripping oil of vitriol (or sulfuric acid as it is now called) onto chalk to produce
carbon dioxide gas, and encouraging the gas to dissolve into an agitated bowl of water.
Another Englishman, John Mervin Nooth, improved Priestley's design and sold his apparatus for
commercial use in pharmacies. Swedish chemist Torbern Bergman invented a generating
apparatus that made carbonated water from chalk by the use of sulfuric acid. Bergman's
apparatus allowed imitation mineral water to be produced in large amounts. Swedish chemist
Jöns Jacob Berzelius started to add flavors (spices, juices and wine) to carbonated water in the
late 18th century.
PRODUCTION
SOFT DRINK PRODUCTION:
Soft drinks are made either by mixing dry ingredients and/or fresh ingredients (e.g. lemons,
oranges, etc.) with water. Production of soft drinks can be done at factories, or at home.
Soft drinks can be made at home by mixing either a syrup or dry ingredients with carbonated
water. Carbonated water is made using a home carbonation system or by dropping dry ice into
water. Syrups are commercially sold by companies such as Soda-Club.
INGREDIENT QUALITY:
Of most importance is that the ingredient meets the agreed specification on all major
parameters. This is not only the functional parameter, i.e. the level of the major constituent, but
the level of impurities, the microbiological status and physical parameters such as color, particle
size, etc.
SOFT DRINK PACKAGING:
U.S. containers in 2008. Various sizes from 8-67.6 US fl oz (237 ml -2 l) shown in can,
glass and plastic bottles.
In the United States, soft drinks are sold in 3, 2, 1.5, 1 liter, 500 ml, 8, 12, 20 and 24 U.S.
fluid ounce plastic bottles, 12 U.S. fluid ounce cans, and short eight-ounce cans. Some Coca-
Cola products can be purchased in 8 and 12 U.S. fluid ounce glass bottles. Jones Soda and
Orange Crush are sold in 16 U.S. fluid ounce (1 U.S. pint) glass bottles. Cans are packaged in a
variety of quantities such as six packs, 12 packs and cases of 24, 36 and 360. With the advent of
energy drinks sold in eight-ounce cans in the US, some soft drinks are now sold in similarly
sized cans. It is also common for carbonated soft drinks to be served as fountain drinks in which
carbonation is added to a concentrate immediately prior to serving.
In Europe, soft drinks are typically sold in 2, 1.5, 1 litre, 500 ml plastic or 330 ml glass
bottles; aluminium cans are traditionally sized in 330 ml, although 250 ml slim cans have
become popular since the introduction of canned energy drinks and 355 ml variants of the slim
cans have been introduced by Red Bull more recently. Cans and bottles often come in packs of
six or four. Several countries have standard recyclable packaging with a container deposit,
typically ranging from € 0.15 to 0.25. The bottles are smelted, or cleaned and refilled; cans are
crushed and sold as scrap alluminium.
In Australia, soft drinks are usually sold in 375 ml cans or glass or plastic bottles. Bottles
are usually 390 ml, 600 ml, 1.25 or 2 litres. However, 1.5 litre bottles have more recently been
used by the the Coca-Cola Company. South Australia is the only state to offer a container
recycling scheme, recently having lifted the deposit from 5 cents to 10 cents. This scheme is also
done in the Philippines; people usually buy glass bottles and return them in exchange for a small
amount of money.
In Canada, soft drinks are sold in cans of 236 ml, 355 ml, 473 ml, and bottles of 591 ml,
710 ml, 1 l, 1.89 l, and 2 l. The odd sizes are due to being the metric near-equivalents to 8, 12,
16, 20, 24 and 64 U.S. fluid ounces. This allows bottlers to use the same-sized containers as in
the U.S. market. This is an example of a wider phenomenon in North America. Brands of more
international soft drinks such as Fanta and Red Bull are more likely to come in round-figure
capacities.
In India, soft drinks are available in 200 ml and 300 ml glass bottles, 250 ml and 330 ml
cans, and 600 ml, 1.25 l, 1.5 l and 2 l plastic bottles.
HEALTH EFFECT:
The consumption of sugar-sweetened soft drinks is associated with obesitytype 2
diabetes, dental cavities, and low nutrient levels. Experimental studies tend to support a causal
role for sugar-sweetened soft drinks in these ailments, [10][11] though this is challenged by other
researchers. "Sugar-sweetened" includes drinks that use High-fructose corn syrup, as well as
those using sucrose.
Many soft drinks contain ingredients that are themselves sources of concern: caffeine is
linked to anxiety and sleep disruption when consumed in excess, and the health effects of high-
fructose corn syrup and artificial sweeteners remain controversial. Sodium benzoate has been
investigated as a possible cause of DNA damage and hyperactivity. Other substances have
negative health effects, but are present in such small quantities that they are unlikely to pose any
substantial health risk. Benzene belongs to this category: the amount of benzene in soft drinks is
small enough that it is unlikely to pose a health risk.
In 1998, the Center for Science in the Public Interest published a report titled Liquid
Candy: How Soft Drinks are Harming Americans' Health. The report examined statistics relating
to the soaring consumption of soft drinks, particularly by children, and the consequent health
ramifications, including tooth decay, nutritional depletion, obesity, type-2 (formerly known as
"adult-onset") diabetes, and heart disease. It also reviewed soft drink marketing and made
various recommendations aimed at reducing soft drink consumption.
There have been a handful of published reports describing individuals with severe
hypokalemia (low potassium levels) related to chronic extreme consumption (4-10 L/day) of
colas.
NUTRITIONAL VALUE:
Unless fortified, they also contain little to no vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein, or other
essential nutrients. Soft drinks may also displace other healthier choices in people's diets, such as
water, milk, fruit juice, and vegetable juice.

SOFT DRINKS WITNESSES’ HEALTHY GROWTH IN INDIA
Soft drinks recorded robust double digit off-trade value growth in 2009, which was
higher than that witnessed in 2008. Bottled water and fruit/vegetable juice continued to grow
strongly as more consumers turned to these products in the search of healthier options.
Carbonates also witnessed good sales growth as the long summer helped to fuel sales. Energy
drinks has witnessed a slowdown in sales growth as its is a premium priced product type and
therefore not considered a necessity. Importantly, more consumers refrained from spending on
non-essential items in the wake of the economic downturn.
MANUFACTURERS DIVERSIFY ON A HEALTH AND WELLNESS PLATFORM
Manufacturers continued to focus on health and wellness products in 2009, introducing
green tea versions of powder concentrates and RTD tea. There were also a number of launches in
terms of new products and flavours in fruit/vegetable juice. The only new product launch in
carbonates was Grappo Fizz by Parle Agro Pvt Ltd. Non-cola carbonates performed very well as
these products are perceived by consumers to be less of a health threat than cola carbonates.
Even in niche categories like energy drinks, sugar-free versions were introduced as
manufacturers try to attract health conscious and diabetic consumers.
COCA-COLA INDIA CONTINUES TO LEAD SOFT DRINKS
Coca-Cola India Pvt Ltd continued to lead soft drinks in 2009, followed by PepsiCo India
Holdings Pvt Ltd in off-trade value terms. The launch of Nimbooz by 7-Up (PepsiCo India)
helped the company retain its leading position in the terms of off-trade value sales. Coca-Cola
India and PepsiCo India continued to invest in soft drinks in India. However, domestic players
such as Parle Agro, Parle Bisleri Ltd and Dabur India Ltd continued to provide tough
competition to the leading multinationals. One competitive edge that domestic players hold is
that unlike Coca-Cola India and PepsiCo India the bulk of their business does not come from
carbonates, but instead from fruit/vegetable juice and bottled water, which are recording much
more dynamic volume and value growth. Thus, while the leading multinationals retained their
leading positions in off-trade value terms, they continued to record slight off-trade value share
reductions in 2009, while these leading domestic players grew their shares.
MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY:
CORPORATE AREA
The major concept of management philosophy is to remain in the beverage industry and not
diversify into other areas. The management believes in investing in non capital-intensive areas.
In fact, the beverage industry requires little capital, and produces maximum returns. The returns
from the foreign markets are tapped to the most.
FINANCIAL AREA
The corporate objectives are to increase the shareowners value. The management believes
that in increasing the shareholders value it requires consistent growth in financial results
complemented by effective use of the cash flow.
MARKETING AREA
Here the management is committed to superior market place execution. This is achieved
by decentralized operating structure that places the responsibilities, authority and the
accountability as close to the customer and consumer as possible.
THE BRAND
Coca-cola consistently ranks in the world’s most valuable brands. The brand value is
about $39billion.This is the greatest heritage of the company. As far as the branch management

CHAPTER- II
2.1REVIEW OF LITERATURE
CAPITAL BUDGETING:
An efficient allocation of capital is the most important finance function in modern times.
It involves decisions to commit firm’s funds to long-term assets. Such decisions are tend to
determine the value of company / firm by influencing its growth, profitability & risk.
Capital budgeting decisions are related to allocation of investible funds to different long-
term assets. They have long-term implications and affect the future growth and profitability of
the firm.
However, in all cases the decisions have a long-term impact on the performance of the
Organization. Even a single wrong decision may in danger the existence of the firm as a
profitable entity.
3. Irreversible nature:
The capital expenditure decisions are of irreversible nature. Once, the decision for
acquiring a permanent asset is taken, it becomes very difficult to impose of these assets without
incurring heavy losses.
6. National Importance:
Investment decision tough taken by individual concern is of national importance because
it determines employment, economic activities and economic growth.
2. Time Element: The implications of a Capital Budgeting decision are scattered over a long
period. The cost and benefits of a decision may occur at different point of time. The cost of a
project is incurred immediately. However, the investment is recovered over a number of years.
The future benefits have to be adjusted to make them comparable with the cost. Longer the time
period involved, greater would be the uncertainty.
1. Certainty with Respect to Cost and Benefits: It is very difficult to estimate the cost
and benefits of a proposal beyond 2-3 years in future. However, for a capital budgeting decision,
it is assumed that the estimate of cost and benefits are reasonably accurate and certain.
2. Profit Motive: Another assumption is that the capital budgeting decisions are taken with a
primary motive of increasing the profit of the firm. No other motive or goal influences the
decision of the finance manager.
3. No Capital Rationing: The Capital Budgeting decision in the present chapter assumes
that there is no scarcity of capital. It assumes that a proposal will be accepted or rejected in the
strength of its merits alone. The proposal will not be considered in combination with other
proposals to the maximum utilization of available funds.
CAPITAL BUDGETING:
Every capital budgeting decision is a specific decision in the situation, for a given firm
and with given parameters and therefore, almost infinite number of types of forms of capital
budgeting decisions may occur. Even if the same decision being considered by the same firm at
two different points of time, the decision considerations may change as a result of change in any
of the variables. However, the different types of capital budgeting decision undertaken from
time to time by different firms can be classified on a number of dimensions. Some projects
affect other projects of the firm is considering and analyzing. At the other extreme, some
proposals are pre-requisite for other projects. The project may also be classified as revenue
generating or cost reducing projects can be categorized as a follows:
From the point of view of firm’s existence the capital budgeting decision may be taken
by a newly incorporated firm or by an already existing firm.
New Firm: A newly incorporated firm may be required to take different decision such
as selection of a plant to be installed, capacity utilization at initial stages to set up or not
simultaneously the ancillary unity etc.,
Existing Firm:
A firm which already exists may be required to take various decisions from time to time meet the
challenge of competition of changing environment. These decisions may be:
Diversification:
Sometimes, the firm may be interested to diversify into new product lines, new markets,
production of spares parts etc., in such a case, the finance manager is required to evaluate not
only the marginal cost and benefits, but also the effect of diversification on the existing market
share and profitability. Both the expansion and diversification decisions may be also be known
as revenue increasing decisions.
A large number of investment proposals compete for these limited funds, the firm must
therefore ration them. The firm allocates funds to projects in a Manner that it maximizes long
run returns; this rationing refers to a situation in which a firm ahs more acceptance investment
than it can finance. It is concerned with the selection of group investment proposals acceptable.
Under the accept–reject decision capital rationing employees ranking of the acceptable
investment projects. The project can be ranked on the basis of predetermined criterion such as
the rate of return. The project is ranked in the descending order of the rate of return.
The capital budgeting process begins with the identification of investment proposals.
The proposal about potential investment opportunities may originate either from top
management or from any officer of the organization. The departmental head analysis various
proposals in the light of the corporate strategies and submits the suitable proposals to the capital
expenditure planning.
SCREENING PROPOSALS:
The expenditure planning committee screens the various proposals received from
different departments. The committee reviews these proposals from various angles to ensure
that these are in accordance with the corporate strategies or selection criterion of the firm and
also do not lead departmental imbalances.
FIXING PRIORITIES:
After evaluating various proposals, the unprofitable uneconomical proposal may be
rejected and it may not be possible for the firm to invest immediately in all the acceptable
proposals due to limitation of funds. Therefore, it essential to rank the project / proposals after
considering urgency, risk and profitability involved in there
IMPLEMENTING PROPOSALS:
Preparation of a capital expenditure budget and incorporation of particular Proposals in
the budget doesn’t itself authorize to go ahead with the implementation of the project.
In a study of the capital budgeting practices of fourteen medium to large size companies
in India, it was found that almost all companies used by back.
With pay back and / or other techniques, about 2/3 rd of companies used IRR and about
2/5th NPV. IRR S found to be second most popular method.
Pay back gained significance because of is simplicity to use & understand its emphasis on
the early recovery of investment & focus on risk.
It was found that 1/3rd of companies always insisted on computation of pay back for all
projects, 1/3rd for majority of projects & remaining for some of the projects.
Reasons for secondary of DCF techniques in India included difficulty in understanding &
using threes techniques, lack of qualified professionals & unwillingness of top
management to use DCF techniques.
One large manufacturing and marketing organization mentioned that conditions of its
business were such that DCF techniques were not needed.
Yet another company stated that replacement projects were very frequent in the company,
and it was not considered necessary to use DCF techniques for evaluating such projects.
Techniques in India included difficulty in understanding & using threes techniques, lack
of qualified professionals & unwillingness of top management to use DCF techniques.

DETERMINATION OF IRR
a) When annual cash flows are equal over the life of the asset.
b) When the annual cash flows are unequal over the life of the asset:
ADVANTAGES:
It takes into account, the time value of money and can be applied in situation with even
and even cash flows.
It considers the profitability of the projects for its entire economic life.
The determination of cost of capital is not a pre-requisite for the use of this method.
It provide for uniform ranking of proposals due to the percentage rate of return.
This method is also compatible with the objective of maximum profitability.
DISADVANTAGES:
Yet another time-adjusted method of evaluating the investment proposals is the benefit
cost (B/C) ratio of profitability index PI. It is benefit cost ratio. It is ratio of present value of
future net cash inflows at the required rate of return, to the initial cash outflow of the investment.
Acceptance Rule:
Accept if PI>1
Reject if PI<1
May accept if PI = 1
PV of cash outflows
Initial Outlay
ADVANTAGES:
Unlike net present value, the profitability index method is used to rank the projects even
when the costs of the projects differ significantly.
It recognizes the time value of money and is suitable to apply in situation with uniform
cash outflow and uneven cash inflows.
It takes into account the earnings over the entire life of the project and gives the true view
of the profitable of the investment. Takes into consideration the objectives of maximum
profitability.
DISADVANTAGES:
It may not give good results while comparing projects with unequal lives as the projects
having higher NPV but have a longer life spam may not be as desirable as a projects having
somewhat lesser NPV achieved in a much shorter span of life of the asset.
One of the top concerns of any person or organization investing a large amount of money
would be the time by which the money will come back. The concern making the investment
would want that at least the capital invested is recovered for the proposal’s cumulative cash
flows to be equal to its cash outflows. In other words, the payback period is the length of time
required to recover the initial cost of the project. The payback period is usually stated in terms of
number of years. It can also be stated as the period required for a proposal to ‘break even’ on its
net investment.
The payback period is the number of years it takes the firm to recover its original
investment by net returns before depreciation, but after taxes.
If project generates constant annual cash inflows, the payback period is completed as
follows:
In case of unequal cash inflows, the payback period can be computed by calculating the
cumulative cash inflow and checking whether the values are recovered to the original outlay
and taking the remaining amount and apply the formulae i.e.,
ACCEPTANCE RULE:
Accept if calculated value is less than standard fixed by management otherwise reject it.
If the payback period calculated for a project is less than the maximum payback period
set up by the company it can be accepted.
As a ranking method it gives highest rank to a project which has lowest payback period,
and lowest rank to a project with highest payback period.
ADVANTAGES:
It does not take into account the cash inflows earned after the payback period and
hence the true profitability of the project cannot be correctly assessed.
This method ignores the time value of the money and does not consider the
magnitude and timing of cash inflows.
It does not take into account the cost of capital, which is very important in making
sound investment decision.
It is difficult to determine the minimum acceptable payback period, which is
subjective decision.
It treats each assets individual in isolation with other assets, which is not feasible
in real practice.
Average Investment
ACCEPTANCE RULE:
Accept if calculated rate is higher than minimum rate established by the management.
It can reject the projects with an ARR lower than the expected rate of return.
This method can also help the management to rank the proposals on the basis of ARR.
A highest rank will be given to a project with highest ARR, whereas a lowest rank to a
project with lowers ARR.
ADVANTAGES:
It uses the entire earnings of a project in calculating rate of return and hence gives
a true view of profitability.
As this method is based upon accounting profit, it can be readily calculated from
the financial data.
DISADVANTAGES:

3.1 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH
Research Methodology is a way to find out the result of a given problem on a specific
matter or problem that is also referred as research problem. In Methodology, researcher uses
different criteria for solving/searching the given research problem. Different sources use
different type of methods for solving the problem.
The process used to collect information and data for the purpose of making business
decisions. The methodology may include publication research, interviews, surveys and other
research techniques, and could include both present and historical information.
"In the broadest sense of the word, the definition of research includes any gathering of
data, information and facts for the advancement of knowledge."
