Select the best alternative based on future worth method at i = 13%, compounded annually.
Given data
Method = Future worth method - cost dominated cash flow
i = 13%
Manufacturer 1
P = . 70,00,000
C1 = C2 = … = C12 = A = . 6,00,000
n = 12
S = . 5,00,000
Manufacturer 2
P = . 80,00,000
C1 = C2 = … = C12 = A = . 5,00,000
n = 12
S = . 4,00,000

Manufacturer 3
P = . 90,00,000
C1 = C2 = … = C12 = A = . 4,00,000
n = 12
S = . 6,00,000


Formula used
FW(i) = P (F/P, i, n) + A (F/A, i, n) - S
Solution
Manufacturer 1
FW(13%)1    = 70,00,000 (F/P, 13%, 12) + 6,00,000 (F/A, 13%, 12) – 5,00,000
= 70,00,000 (4.335) + 6,00,000 (25.650) – 5,00,000
=  3,03,45,000+ 1,53,90,000 – 5,00,000
FW(13%)1    = . 4,52,35,000
Manufacturer 2
FW(13%)2    = 80,00,000 (F/P, 13%, 12) + 5,00,000 (F/A, 13%, 12) – 4,00,000
= 80,00,000 (4.335) + 5,00,000 (25.650) – 4,00,000
= 3,46,80,000 + 1,28,25,000 – 4,00,000
FW(13%)2    = . 4,71,05,000
Manufacturer 3
FW(13%)3   = 90,00,000 (F/P, 13%, 12) + 4,00,000 (F/A, 13%, 12) – 6,00,000
= 90,00,000 (4.335) + 4,00,000 (25.650) – 6,00,000
= 3,90,15,000 + 1,02,60,000 – 6,00,000
FW(13%)3    = . 4,86,75,000
Result
In future worth method cost dominated cash flow, the alternative which has minimum future worth amount is the best alternative. Therefore Jothi micro castings Ltd plan to buy a muffle furnace from manufacturer 1.
