Mean: It is the essential element that affect the business it is the average amount of the sales and profit that reflect the business. In this case company increase the sales and when the sale is going above that mean the profit of the company also increase that time and profit is increase that the company can invest the more amount in the business. When the total amount of sale can be added and divide in the year in the year of 5 year the company can generate the 50800 profit for the sales amount of that period is and the amount of mean is 10160 in the company.

Mode: In this table we can present the mode is nil because there are not a amount which are repeated in the term of sales and profit some time company can increase and decrease the value but not repeated.

Median: It is the value that determined by the company for the average and estimated amount which are not affect the company. In this case company increase the profit it is not regular at the time the company give the transaction and also it determined the variance related to the affected business. In this method company have a 53000 median value that they described on the affection that relate to the value which company can generate the maximum profit(Wu and Pagell, 2011).

Correlation: it is term of relate to the relation between profit and sales when the company increase the sales that the profit may be increase that time there are two type of relation that create that timer and also maintain by the company. it is the coefficient measure of the degree change in the values and it also reflected by the company for acquiring the behaviour of the c company that can motivate to the positive ways negative value mean it reflects the association of high value of one with the another values and relate to the low to others. It varies from the +1 and -1 it is the close indicate the+1 high degree of cross relation and -1 indicate the low correlation and it may described the company are present the +1 it means there are good relation of the company in the sales and profit both term in the researcher context.

Quartile, percentiles: In the simple term it defined the highest amount of money that the person are invested for his welfare the researcher can take the help and take decision according that preferences are generated the determined the demand and position of the market through the demand of single product in the consumers preferences. It is the defining the range and which value is occurred and lower the value is 25% and the upper population is 25% of the total population in the decision process. In this case the company can generate the value 4000,45000,50800 it described the conducted by the research that the value is also increased the last above and it is beneficial to the company for generating the preference of the business.

Coefficient: It refers to the equation that determined the valuers and described the mathematical position and determination of the variance and it may be related to the multifunctional of values in the term of variance that affected by the company for determined the value and affected by the company in this variance help to the company for de terminated the values related to the satisfaction and variance that affected the value in the term of positive and negative term that are occurred that maintained by the other satisfaction of the company that regard maintain the flow of the company(Melé, 2010).

Table: Calculation of payback period method

Interpretation: Payback period indicate the time period with in which project can recover invested amount. It can be seen from the above table investment value is very high which is 1, 90,000. On the other hand, there is low value of cash flows (Jung and Seo., 2010). Thus, these cash flows are not sufficient to cover initial investment amount.

Table: Calculation of ARR

Interpretation: ARR indicate the average return that a project can earn on the invested amount. ARR of project is 31.84% which can be considered well because on average basis firms normally earn this rate of return on their project on this parameter. Hence, on the basis of this parameter it can be said that this project is not viable for the firm. The main advantage of this method is that it indicates average performance that can be given by the project.

Table: Calculation of NPV

Interpretation: Net present value method is a technique in which present value of the cash flows of the firm is computed. Then present value of all cash flows are added and from same value of initial investment are deducted in order to compute net present value of the project. Value of NPV may be positive or negative. If value of NPV is positive then project is assumed viable for the firm. But if NPV of the project become negative then that project is assumed nonviable for the firm.

IRR

9.94%

Table: Calculation of IRR

Interpretation: IRR indicate the actual return that can be earned by the firm on the project. IRR of this project is very low which 9.94% is. Hence, on this basis project cannot be assumed viable for the firm. The main advantage of this method is that it give clear overview of the return that can be given by the project (What is IRR and how is it computed, 2016). But the main limitation of this method is that it use concept of present value and it is very difficult to compute accurate percentage of weighted average cost of capital by anticipation market return. Means that it is very difficult to anticipate actual return the stock market can give to investors. If wrong anticipation is made then wrong value of weighted average cost of capital will come in existence and IRR will show wrong percentage return on the invested amount(Milovic and Milovic, 2012).

Meaning of Capital Budgeting: it is the process used by the company for evaluate and ranking the potential investment and income expenses. It includes the purchase of new equipment and construction of building. Capital budgeting help to Blackfriars Restaurant identifying the considering value of money, initial cash investment and also relate to the future decision and investing decision in the business.

Techniques of capital budgeting

  • payback period
  • Discounted payback period
  • Net present value
  • Internal rate of return
  • Profitability rate of return

Payback period: It is defined the number of year required to recover the orignal cas and investing money in the future. It measures the time in which the initial cash flow is returned by the project not in present lower cash flow is preferred by the company.

Formulas- Pay back period = Cash outlay (investment) / annual cash inflow

Discounted payback period: It is calculated through the life of assets it include the depreciation of the company for the assets It takes place when the interest factor and return after the payback period.

Net present value (NPV): The present value of the cash inflow are compared to the original investment which are made initial cost of investment. The higher NP V is preferred by the investment give the return for positive manner. It recognises the time value of money. Its calculation are the related present value of flow, used the cost of capital in the discounting rate and also find out the cash outflow.

Formulas- NPV = PVB -PVC
                  PVB = present value of benefits
                  PVC = present value of cost

Internal rate of return (IRR)L: It is rate calculate the cash inflow and cash outflow of an investment. It is also known as the internal rate of return It also depends on the solely on the outlay and proceed with the associated project and also determined the project areas.
5.Accounting rate of return (ARR) It described the percentages of earning of the project in the investment. This method take place for the economic life of project through the concept of earning It is not consistent with the firm the objective of maximising the firm values of the share of the market may be increase and decrease the criteria(Ho and Dey, 2010).

Formulas- ARR = Average income / Average investment

Profitability index (PI): It is the ratio that the present value of future required to initial return to the initial cash outflow it relates to present value of cash inflow and outlay of initial cash.

Formulas- PI = Present value cash inflow / Initial cash outlay

Conclusion

On the basis of this report it is the conclude that the manager must used the tactical data for taking the decision I the business that they are satisfied manager. The project must not be selected the randomly and merely by looking at the project evaluation techniques can be used by the on the basis of parameter and due to this reason by using this method most project can be easily selected by the firm.
