Nature of Capital Budgeting:
1-Capital budgeting decisions involve the exchange of current funds for the benefits
to be achieved in the future.
2- The future benefits are expected to be realized over a series of years.
3-The funds are invested in non-flexible and long-term activities.
4-They have a long-term and significant effect on the profitability of the concern.
5-They involve, generally, huge funds.
6-They are irreversible decisions.
7- They are “strategic” investment decisions, involving large sums of money, a major
departure.

Factors affecting capital budgeting Decisions
1. Risk and Uncertainty
Companies need to consider the risks associated
with the investment and the uncertainties involved
in estimating future cash flows.
2. Capital Constraints
the limitations on the amount of available capital for
investment. Companies must balance their capital
needs with their available resources, including equity,
debt, and retained earnings

3-It does not use the concept of the required rate of return.
Advantages:
1-Considers the reinvestment of future cash flows
2-Accounts for the time value of money
3-Provides a measure of the investment’s profitability
Disadvantage:
1-Requires accurate estimates of future cash flows and reinvestment rates
2-Can be complex and time-consuming to calculate
3-May not be appropriate for investments with uneven cash flows
4. Profitability Index (PI):
The Profitability Index (PI) method technique is used to evaluate investment
opportunities by calculating the ratio of the present value of cash inflows to
the initial investment cost.
Formula: PI = PV of Expected Cash Inflows / Initial Investment
Where
PV = Present Value Initial Investment = Total cost of the investment
Expected Cash Inflows = Future cash inflows discounted to their present
value

5. Capital Rationing
The capital rationing method of capital budgeting is not based on a single
formula like the other methods. Instead, it involves setting a fixed budget for
capital investments and then selecting the combination of projects that
maximizes the overall value of the firm within that budget constraint.
Therefore, the capital rationing method involves a complex decision-making
process that considers multiple factors such as project profitability, risk, and
liquidity. The decision-making process often involves using quantitative and
qualitative criteria to evaluate each project’s potential impact on the firm’s
financial performance.
Advantages
Enables a company to prioritize investments based on available funds
Helps avoid over-committing to investments
Encourages better financial management
Example: if a company has Disadvantage:
$1,000,000 in available funds and May limit a company’s ability to pursue all profitable investments
two potential investments with May result in missed opportunities
total costs of $800,000 and Can be difficult to determine the optimal allocation of capital.
$1,200,000, the company would
have to choose between the two
investments based on the
availability of capital.
