Capital Budgeting
Capital budgeting involves planning and justifying large
expenditures on long-term projects
CAPITAL BUDGETING
Projects can be classified as:
Replacement
Cost Reduction
Expansion
What is Capital Budgeting?
Is it WORTH it to put money or
“capital” into this project?
Is it WORTH it to use money to buy
this Machine?
Is it WORTH it to put money in
this business?
OBJECTIVES OF CAPITAL BUDGETING:
 To find out the profitable capital expenditure.
 To know whether the replacement of any existing
fixed assets gives more return than earlier.
 To decide whether a specified project is to be
selected or not.
 To find out the quantum of finance required for the
capital expenditure.
 To assess the various sources of finance for capital
expenditure.
 To evaluate the merits of each proposal to decide
which project is best.
IMPORTANCE OF CAPITAL BUDGETING:
 Develop and formulate long-term strategic goals .
 Seek out new investment projects.
 Estimate and forecast future cash flows .
 Facilitate the transfer of information and Control of
Expenditures .
 Creation of Decision .
ADVANTAGES OF CAPITAL BUDGETING:
 Capital budgeting helps a company to understand various risks
involved in an investment opportunity and how these risks affect
the returns of the company.
 It helps the company to estimate which investment option would
yield the best possible return.
 A company can choose a technique/method from various
techniques of capital budgeting to estimate whether it is financially
beneficial to take on a project or not.
 It helps the company to make long-term strategic investments.
 It helps to make an informed decision about an investment taking
into consideration all possible options.
 It offers adequate control on expenditure for projects.
 Also, it allows management to abstain from over investing and
under investing.
DISADVANTAGES OF CAPITAL BUDGETING.
 Most of the times, these techniques are based on the
estimations and assumptions as the future would always
remain uncertain.
 Capital budgeting still remains introspective as the risk factor
and the discounting factor. remains subjective to the
manager’s perception.
 A wrong capital budgeting decision taken can affect the long
term durability of the company and hence it needs to be done
judiciously by professionals who understands the project
well.
 Capital budgeting decisions are for long term and are majorly
irreversible in nature.
CAPITAL BUDGETING PROCESS:
 Project Generation.
 Project Analysis.
 Project Selection.
 Project Evaluation.

TECHNIQUES
PAYBACK PERIOD
In Payback method, no discounting principle is
taken into consideration, only on the basis of
returns the decision is taken. Mostly the project
in which the fastest recovery is observed is
chosen.
Payback Period = years before full recovery + unrecorded amount
at the start of the period
cash flow during the period

Solution:-

Payback = 2 + 100

= 2.33 years
PROJECTB:-
Payback = 3 + 200

= 3.33 years
• It recognises the impact of time value of money.
• Cash inflow to be received at different period of time will be
discounted at a particular discount rate.
• Present values of the cash inflow are compared.
difference between the two will be used for accept or
reject criteria.
Net present value method
• Recognizes the time value of money.
• Considers the cash inflow of the entire project.
• Consistent with the objective of maximizing the welfare of
owners.
DISADVANTAGES
• Difficult to compute.
• Not always reliable as project returns may not always be
constant.

Internal Rate of Return
• Rate at which the sum of discounted cash inflows equals the sum of discounted cash outflows.
• Rate at which the net present value of the investment is zero.
• Called internal rate because it depends mainly on the layout and proceeds associated with the
project and not on any rate determined outside the investment.
Advantages :
• It consider the time value of money
• IRR attempts to find the maximum rate of interest that is benefitial.
Disadvantages :
• Computation of IRR is tedious.
• Inconsistent results. This is especially true in case of mutually exclusive project.
