    you take the classified section of a newspaper or search ads in topjobs and see what's the main requirement that employers are looking for any financial or management related job.

    guys i have few questions.

    To this date i thought C.O.C rate is to cover inflation but our last lesson was about calculating NPV when there is an inflation for investment appraisal. I'm bit confused here.
    If C.O.C rate is about interest rate does that mean in every NPV calculation it is assume that all investments are taken as loans or borrowings?

    why it take different rate for inflation if (interest C.O.C is 10% and inflation is 5% why can't we take 15% straight away and do the calculations.)

    Loss on disposal is a non-cash item so why is it deducted when calculating NPV with taxation for investment appraisal?

    "The group company makes enough profits so that they can realize tax savings through losses"

    Does it mean it good to earn losses? In here also why it take cash saving as cash inflow. The company didn't receive money from anyone it already exist in it.

    There are two types of cashflows...Real cashflows and nominal cashflows....One is adjusted for inflation and the other one is not...

    COC comprises of inflation, the risk of undertaking the project as wells as the opportunity cost (You could have placed a FD rather than investing in the project)

    By calculating NPV you determine whether it's worthwhile undertaking the project..Whatever the capital you infuse needs to be recovered including interest + return. If not the project will have a negative NPV and will be abandoned..

    Loss on disposal is a relevant cost with regard to the project..

    more explanation is needed for your last question ..

    Thank you for your explanation FD and opportunity cost I've forgotten about it.

    so does depreciation but i think we don't deduct it. (correct me if i'm wrong) But why this cash doesn't go out from the business.
    more explanation is needed for your last question ..

    Here is the question

    A company is evaluating an investment of $20000. The investment qualify for tax depreciation at 20% reducing balance method. The asset can be sold for 15,000 at the end of the 3rd year. corporate tax rate is 30% and taxes are paid in 2 installments that is half of the tax in the year it arises and the balance in the following year.
    The project is expected to generate net cash flows of 3000,10000, and 15000 in the next 3 years. The group company makes enough profits so that they can realize tax savings through losses using coc of 10% Evaluate the investment?

    we were taught to take tax savings as cash inflow? my problem is the company didn't receive money from any external party. They made a loss and because of that the amount they should pay as tax was reduced. i don't see any inflow of cash:nerd:

    yes that's right..you need to take tax savings as cash inflows..you can be benefited by this tax savings because you undertook the project..so it's relevant and you need to consider it when arriving at the NPV...In some instances tax losses can be carried forward or set off against other profit making projects...that's an assumption that you'll have to make..

    normal depreciation is not considered in NPVs...Basically there are two types of depreciations..One is Accounting deprecation and the other one is tax deprecation..the difference between these two multiplied by the corporate tax rate is your differed tax asset or liability...

    so in the above question you have been given the tax depreciation rate as 20%..so this is relevant cash inflow interms of the project and the company can deduct this amount from the total tax liability when paying taxes to inland revenue....

    after completing top cima within 4 years time you need to apply for the membership. Current membership fee is 240 pounds and cima passed finalist fee is 220 (not sure about the exact figures,check the CIMA site). There's no annual fee and only the annual membership fee.

    if you dont pay this CIMA will remove your name from the members list and your name will be taken off from the website. You no longer will be able to use ACMA,CGMA. (if you are a passed finalist and did not pay the subscription fee, you won't be able to apply for the membership).

    In most cases, companies pay your CIMA annual membership fee in Sri Lanka. So you dont need to worry. Finish CIMA and start working soon.

    Good luck.
