Investment Opportunities for ALLCURE INC. - Feasibility Study

The report analyses two revenue earning opportunities i.e. T-REC and P-REC based on quantitative and qualitative parameters. The quantitative analysis has been carried out on four parameters - Discounted Payback period, Net Present Value, Internal Rate of Return, and Profitability Index. The qualitative analysis of the two projects has been carried out based on litigation, penalty & moral impact of the project on the future prospect of the company. The report recommends T-REC as a better alternative based on critical aspects of the sector and the impact on human body.

Analysis of
Investment
opportunities for
ALLCURE INC.

Executive Summary
In the said report, there has been analysis of investment proposal at the disposal of
ALLCURE Inc. The two proposals has been analysed based on quantitative and
qualitative parameter to understand the feasibility of project on financial, social and
other areas. The quantitative parameter of analysing the project has been highlighted
here in below:
(a) Net Present Value;
(b) Profitability Index;
(c) Internal Rate of Return;
(d) Discounted Payback Period
Further, the parameters for analysing qualitative aspect of the project includes
litigation, penalty & moral impact of the project on the future prospect of the
company.
On the basis of above analysis, it has been understood that P-REC is feasible on
quantitative front while T-REC is feasible on qualitative front and hence a
conservative view has been taken to safeguard the future interest of the company by
choosing proposal T-REC and further testing P-REC before official launch.

Introduction
ALL Cure Inc. has incurred expenditure on Research and development of medicine for
years and is now proposing to explore two revenue earning opportunities i.e. T-REC
and P-REC. The analysis in this report deals with feasibility study of the aforesaid
project based on quantitative and qualitative parameters. Further, P- REC has side
impact and shall result in long term disease while T –REC is much more stable>
Findings
4.1 Quantitative Findings on the basis (P-REC & T-REC)
The assumptions that have been undertaken for carrying out the analysis presented in
the Appendix of the report have been highlighted here in under:
(a) Expenses incurred in training human resource has been treated as capital
expenditure which is non –depreciable and no tax deduction shall be available on
the same;
(b) The life of both the proposal is 8 years and the assets are assumed to be disposed
at the end of eight years;
(c) The cost incurred towards renovation is treated as Capital Expenditure and the
same is tax depreciable for analysis purpose.
(d) Any loss or gain on disposal of asset after completion of 8 years has been taken
into consideration for analysis;
(e) Realisation of Working capital on completion of project;
(f) Expenditure incurred on Research and Development has been considered as sunk
cost and not tax deductible.
The quantitative analysis has been carried on four parameters. The parameter chosen
for analysis has been enumerated here-in-under:
Discounted Payback period:
This capital budgeting tool analyse the time period to breakeven the investment made
initially while recognising the concept of time value of money. Further, in layman
terms it means that time period which shall be required by the company to recollect
the initial outlay made by discounting the cash flows to present value. (Anon., 2018)
Net Present Value:
It is a significant methods under capital budgeting under it the discounted cash flow
computed is reduced by initial outlay to understand the feasibility of the project. If the
said computation is positive, the project is feasible and if negative, the project shall

not be carried out. The rate for discounting shall be such, which shall satisfy the need
of return of financers of the project or the existing capital structure of the company.
(InvestingAnswers, Inc, 2018)
Internal Rate of Return:
In this method of capital budgeting, the rate of return of the project is computed by
extrapolating and interpolating of the discounting factor in manner that provides a
particular rate at which the present value of cash flows is equal to the cash outlay
made at beginning stage of the product. In short, IRR is the rate of return at which the
present value of inflow is equal to outflow. (Accounting For Management, 2018)
Profitability Index
Under the said quantitative analysis, the present value of cash flows is divided by
outflows. If the said computation is greater than one than the project is feasible,
otherwise the same should be dropped. (Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd., 2018)
A brief synopsis of the comparison of P-REC and T-REC based on the above
parameter has been detailed here in under:
Sl No Particular P-REC T-REC
1 Discounted Pay Back period @18% 5.251532 7.024696201
2 Discounted Pay Back period @24% 6.473792 Never Paid off
3 Net Present Value @18% 1153831 220793.9465
4 Net Present Value @24% 427363.3 -234538.2196
5 Internal Rate of Return 28% 22%
6 Profitability Index @18% 1.40 1.08
7 Profitability Index @24% 1.15 0.92
On perusal of the above table, it may be inferred that P-REC is feasible under all the
parameter except discounted payback period as the same exceeds 5 years, while under
other parameters the said project is standing up to the needs and expectation of
financers of capital structure.
Further, w.r.t T-REC it may be seen that the project is not feasible @24% discount
and the discounted payback period of the project is greater than 5 Years. However, if
the weighted average cost of capital of the project is less than 22% than the project
shall be accepted.

4.2 Qualitative Findings
The qualitative analysis of the two projects has been carried out here in below:
(a) P-REC is an under tested product with undetectable long-term hazard that may
develop in the body of individual who may consume the same. The product is
under a nascent test and may be subject to certification during consideration by
national testing bodies;
(b) If P-REC is implemented, there may be litigation and dispute in future on account
of side impact of the product and shall tarnish the image and future long term
prospects of the proposed company;
(c) Pharmaceutical Sector has been prone to litigation, disputes and bans risk.
Accordingly, launching a 100% untested product with knowledge of failure can
be very risky;
(d) Launching of P-REC may hamper the long term continuity of the organisation is
the said product turns out to be a major failure of the company on account of long
term issues in the product.
(e) Considering T-REC, it shall be pertinent to note is traditional product and is
clinically safe and tested. Further, the side of the product is not available at the
disposal of the company and it is presumed that this shall be safe .However,
(f) T-REC in addition to above shall be less prone to litigation and disputes.
However, T-REC shall hit by a major setback if new and innovative version is
launched by competitor, the above observation may not hold true.
Recommendation and Justifications
Based on above, it shall be recommended to directors and other KMP of All Cure Inc.
to go for investing in T-REC as the said product is clinically safe to launch and same
is feasible at Weighted Average Cost of Capital less than 22%. Further, launching P-
REC is in grafted with major issue that the same may have failure in the future, as the
product is not 100% clinically tested. However, the project has return in the short run
greater than 24% WACC.
Detail Comparison and Further Recommendation
A differentiation of two projects based on various parameters has been presented here
in below:
Sl No Particular P-REC T-REC
1 Discounted Pay Back period @18% 5.251532 7.024696201
2 Discounted Pay Back period @24% 6.473792 Never Paid off
3 Net Present Value @18% 1153831 220793.9465

Sl No Particular P-REC T-REC
4 Net Present Value @24% 427363.3 -234538.2196
5 Internal Rate of Return 28% 22%
6 Profitability Index @18% 1.40 1.08
7 Profitability Index @24% 1.15 0.92
Thus, based on quantitative analysis, it may be concluded that project P-REC shall be
better compared to T-REC. However, considering the qualitative aspect of the project
T-REC is a better alternative and company should test P-REC for more years before
launching in the market.
Conclusion
Thus on the basis of above deliberations it shall be safe to conclude that company
should opt for T-REC based on critical aspect of the sector and the impact on human
body.
