CAPITAL BUDGETING
• It is the process of identifying, evaluating, planning, and financing capital investment
projects of an organization.
Capital expenditures
• These are long-term commitments of resources to realize future benefits and budgeting for
them is one of the most important areas of managerial decision.
• Net investment represents the initial cash outlay that is required to obtain future returns or
the net cash outflows to support a capital project.
Net Cash Returns
• The cash returns are the inflows of cash expected from a project reduced by the cash cost
that can be directly attributed to the project.
• Also known as Discount Rate this is the weighted average cost of capital of long-term funds
obtained from different sources.
1. Cost of Debt:
a. Stocked price-based

Bail-out Period
• Also known as book rate of return, simple rate of return, unadjusted rate of return,
financial statement rate of return, measures the capital project’s profitability from
accounting standpoint by relating the required investment to the future annual net
income
𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝐴𝑛𝑛𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒
𝑨𝑹𝑹 =
𝐼𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝐼𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑜𝑟 𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝐼𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡
or, if a cost reduction project is involved, the formula becomes
𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑆𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 − 𝐷𝑒𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑛 𝑛𝑒𝑤 𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑝𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡
𝑨𝑹𝑹 =
𝐼𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝐼𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑜𝑟 𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝐼𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡
Decision rule: If: ARR ≥ Required rate of return; Accept
If: ARR < Required rate of return; Reject
PAYBACK RECIPROCAL
• The excess of the present value of cash inflows generated by the project over the amount of
the initial investment.
• This is the rate which equates the present value of cash inflows to present value of cash
outflows. Simply stated, it is the rate where present value is zero.
Profitability Index
• Profitability index is designed to provide a common basis ranking alternatives that require
difference amounts of investment.

• Preference decisions are made after screening decisions to rank investment proposals
based on their rate return. They are more challenging due to limited funds and potential
foregone profitable opportunities.
• Internal rate of return or the net present value method can be used in making preference
decision.
• The preference rule when using the internal rate of return method to rank competing
investment project is:
“The higher the internal rate of return, the more desirable the project.”
This method is widely used for two main reasons, namely
1. No additional computations need to be made beyond those already performed in making
initial screening decisions.
2. The ranking data are easily understood by management.
Net Present Value Method
• The net present value method ranks equal-sized investment projects, while calculating
profitability index requires dividing cash inflows present value by required investment,
depending on funding requirements.
• The preference rule to rank competing investment projects using the profitability index is
“The higher the profitability index, the more desirable the project.”
This problem may be dealt with using any one of these procedures,
1. The replacement chain method and
2. The equivalent annual annuity method (EAA)
