- 3. 1. Introduction: 1.1 Development projects impose a series of costs and benefits on recipient communities or countries. 1.2 Those costs and benefits can be social, environmental, or economic in nature, but may often involve all three. 1.3 Irrigation projects may facilitate the growing of cash crops in one locality, but cause water shortages, and hence economic, social and environmental pressures in another locality.
- 4. 2. Definition: Project 2.1 A Project is a set of interrelated investment activities to attain certain specific objectives by utilizing limited resources within a particular period of time. Investment Activities Specific objective Limited Resources A particular Period of time
- 5. 3. Projects types: Projects are: 3.1 Type ‘x’ : Self financing projects i.e. projects which earn revenue through sale of output (goods & services). These are called directly productive projects, i.e.. Industrial Projects. 3.2 Type “y” : In directly productive but non-revenue earning projects, i.e., projects which give rise to tangible output, benefit of which do not accrue directly to projects themselves but to other parties Example: Irrigation Projects, Roads, Bridge etc. 3.3 Type “z ” : Service Sector Projects Projects which do not give rise to tangible output but provide service benefits to the society. Example: School, College, Hospital, Training Institute.
- 6. 4. Projects Cycle 4.1 There tends to be a natural sequence in the way projects are planned and carried out and this sequence has come to be known as ‘ the Project Cycle’. 4.2 Project Cycle Covers following stages: Project Identification. Project Preparation & Analysis Project Approval / Negotiation Project Appraisal Project Implementation & Monitoring Project Evaluation & Follow-up Analysis. 4.3 A Project generally goes through all these phases sequentially from identification to evaluation & follow-up. This sequence has come to be termed or referred to as “Project Cycle”
- 7. 4.4 Project Cycle Identification Evaluation Preparation Implementation & Monitoring Appraisal Approval
- 8. 5. Project Appraisal 5.1 Project Appraisal involves the comparison of costs and benefits. If benefits exceeds costs, the project could be considered for acceptance Otherwise, it is not. 5.2 The basic principle in appraisal / CBA is for potential acceptance of a project. 5.3 Project Appraisal means a pre-investment analysis of a project to determine whether the project should be implemented or not.
- 9. 6. Objectives of Project Appraisal 6.1 Project Appraisal is necessitated because the resources or means are limited as compared to the needs of the society. 6.2 As a result, any investment undertaken implies depriving other projects resources. 6.3 Hence, it is very important to appraise each project before investment decision so that scarce resources are utilized in the best possible ways. 6.4 In other words, before allocation of resources for a particular project, the decision making authority must convince itself that the proposed project is the best and most economical way of achieving the desired objective (in terms of socio-economic benefits). 6.5 For this and for ensuring economic use of resources, we have to appraise each project very minutely from different angles.
- 10. 6. Objectives of Project Appraisal 6.6 A Project Appraisal involves detailed pre-investment analysis of market & technical feasibility, financial soundness, economic desirability and, finally, measuring its investment worth. 6.7 The task aims mainly at ensuring that scarce resources are put to most effective use. 6.8 It requires the combined efforts of a team of persons from various disciplines such as engineers, financial analysts , economists, etc . working in close co-ordination .
- 11. 7. Scope of Project Appraisal 7.1 Market Feasibility study. 7.2 Technical Feasibility / viability. 7.3 Financial Soundness. 7.4 Management and Organizational Aspects / Managerial Soundness. 7.5 Economic viability / Appraisal. 7.6 Environmental Appraisal / Viability.
- 12. 7.1 Market Feasibility Whether does a sufficient demand exist? b) In case of import substitution , whether the domestic cost of production is less than the cost of import.
- 13. 7.2 Technical Appraisal Availability of inputs at reasonable cost. Consistency & soundness of engineering design. Economics of scale in production. Appropriate technology & alternative ways of production. Advantageous location of the project. Maintenance & Repairs. Provision for expansion. Balancing of equipment
- 14. 7.3 Financial Soundness Exhaustive & realistic cost estimation Sound capital structure : Fund Source Provision for working capital requirement Generation of sufficient cash flows to cover debt-service liability. Generation of adequate profit. Safety margin. Break- Even Point Pay back period. Pay back period: Pay back period is a measure of Project’s Capital recovery. It is defined as the length of time it takes to recover the initial investment of a Project.
- 15. 7.4 Managerial Soundness Experience of the top managerial personnel in the line. Expertise and ability of supervisory staff. Balance between supervisory staff and workers Clarity of job description, responsibility and accountability.
- 16. 7.5 Environmental Aspects The environmental impacts include – Ecological : Fisheries, Tree Plantation, Wet Land / Wet Land Habitats, Forests. Physico- Chemical : Flood Control & Drainage Erosion, Drainage, Congestion / Water Logging, Obstruction to waste water Flow, Soil Fertility, Early Flooding. c. Human Interest : Areas of Settlements, Agricultural Lands, Navigation / Boat Communication, irrigation Facilities, Landscape, Land values.
- 17. 7.6 Measurement of Investment Worthiness What benefit does the project promise for its sponsors or owners? What benefit does the project promise for the national economy? c. The satisfactory answers to these questions provide the prime test of a project’s acceptability.
- 18. 8. Methods of Calculating Profit Worthiness. 8.1 Net Present Value = NPV 8.2 Benefit Cost Ratio = B/C Ratio 8.3 Internal Rate of Return = IRR
- 19. 8.1 Formula for: i) NPV = Discounted Total Benefits – Discounted Total costs. 2.2 Formula: ii) B/C Ratio = Discounted Total Benefits Discounted Total costs
- 20. 8.3 Formula for IRR: NPV iii) IRR = LRD + LRD x ( HRD – LRD ) NPV - NPV LRD HRD Where, LRD = Lower Rate of Discount at which NPV is positive; HRD = Higher Rate of Discount at which NPV is negative; NPV = Net Present value at the Lower Rate of Discount; LRD NPV = Net Present value at the Higher Rate of Discount. HRD What is IRR? IRR = Internal Rate of Return is that rate of discount that makes/ reduces the Net Present Value (NPV) of a project is to Zero.
- 21. NPV = DTB – DTC NPV at 15% = 365.44 – 337.04 = 28.40 B/C at 15% = 365.44 337.04 = 1.08 NPV at 25% = 312.32 – 317.12 = - 4.8 IRR = 15 + 28.4 × (25 -15) 28.4 – (- 4.8) = 15 + 28.4 × 10 28.4 + 4.8 = 15 + 28.4 × 10 33.2 = 15 + 8.55 = 23.55 IRR = 23.55% 9.

- 22. 10. Acceptability Criteria 10.1 NPV (Net Present Value) if NPV > 0 ACCEPT if NPV < 0 REJECT if NPV = 0 AMBIGUOUS 10.2 BCR (Benefit Cost Ratio) if BCR > I ACCEPT if BCR < I REJECT if BCR = I AMBIGUOUS 10.3 IRR (Internal Rate of Return) if IRR > r ACCEPT if IRR < r REJECT if IRR = r AMBIGUOUS\ r = MARKET RATE OF INTEREST
- 23. 11. The basic difference between Financial Appraisal &Economic Appraisal
- 24. 12. Types of Project Appraisal 12.1 Financial / Commercial Appraisal 12.2 Economic Appraisal 12.3 Technical Appraisal 12.4 Social Appraisal.
- 25. 13. Conclusion: 13.1 It involves comparison of costs and benefits. 13.2 Objectives of a project Appraisal are needed because of limited resources, allocation of resources, investment analysis, etc. 13.3 It involves Market, Technical, Financial, Management, Economic and Environment Feasibilities. 13.4 It entails measurement of investment worthiness. 13.5 Methods of calculation of profit worthiness is highly essential. 13.6 Acceptability criteria are needed. 13.7 Differences between Financial and Economic Analysis's and required. 13.8 Finally, a project is appraised for investment.
- 26. 14. Farewell Call: 14.1 There is a widespread concern that adverse environmental effects of economic activities will seriously affect both the present and the future welfare of people in less developed countries, and that the present project appraisal practices do not adequately address the issues. 14.2 It is necessary to use the idea of sustainable development in project appraisal with the help of cost-benefit analysis methodology.
