LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Define capital expenditure decisions and capital budgets.
Evaluate investment opportunities using the following:
Payback Period
Discounted Payback Period
Net Present Value (NPV)
Average Rate of Return
Profitability Index
Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
A capital expenditure is an outlay of funds by the firm that is
expected to produce benefits over a period of time greater
than 1 year.
Companies make capital expenditures for many reasons. Some
reasons for capital expenditures are to:
Exploration
CAPITAL BUDGETING
PROCESS
The capital budgeting process consists of five distinct but
interrelated steps:
a.
Proposal generation. Proposals for new investment projects are
made at all levels within a business organization and are
reviewed by finance personnel.
b.
Review and analysis. Financial Managers perform formal
review and analysis to assess the merits of investment
proposals.
c.
Decision making. Firms typically delegate capital expenditure
decision making on the basis of dollar limits.
d.
Implementation. Following approval, expenditures are made
and projects implemented.
e.
Follow-up. Results are monitored, and actual costs and benefits
are compared with those that were expected.

TECHNIQUES - PAYBACK
The payback period is the amount
of time required for the firm to
recover its initial investment in a
project, as calculated from cash
inflows
For example, if an investment
costs $15,000 and generates
returns of $5,000 per year, it has a
payback period of 3 years.
Question 1
Investment Cost $120,000
generates annual cash flows of
$35,000. What is the payback
period?
Question 2
Investment Cost $120,000 generates
the following cash inflows Yr 1
$35,000, Yr 2 $30,000, Yr 3 30,000
and Yr 4 $45,000. What is the
payback period?
Question
Using the information above
calculate the payback period
and discounted payback period
for projects A and B . The initial
investment is $50,000 and the
discount rate is 5%

TECHNIQUES - ACCOUNTING
RATE OF RETURN
Accounting rate of return (ARR, also known as average rate of return) is
used to estimate the rate of return for an investment project. The higher
the ARR, the more attractive the project is.
ARR = Average Net Income
Average Investment
Example :
An investment of $600,000 is expected to give returns as follows: Year 1 ($50,000), Year
2 ($150,000), Year 3 ($80,000), Year 4 ($20,000).Calculate the average rate of return.
Solution:
Total returns over the four years
= 50,000 + 150,000 + 80,000 + 20,000 = $300,000
Average returns per annum = 300,000 / 4 = $75,000
ARR = 75,000 / 600,000 = 12.5%

Solution
To conclude whether the
proposal should be accepted or
not
the internal rate of return
promised by machine
would be found out first
and then compared to the
companys minimum
required rate of return

Since the useful life of the machine is 10
years, the factor would be found in 10period line or row.
After finding this factor, see the rate of
return written at the top of the column in
which factor 5.650 is written. It is 12%. It
means the internal rate of return promised
by the project is 12%.
According to IRR method, the proposal is
not acceptable because the IRR promised by
the proposal (12%) is less than the minimum
required rate of return (15%).

Basic characteristics of relevant cash flows
Cash (not accounting income) flows
Operating (not financing) flows

CASH FLOWS
Principles that must be adhered to in estimating the cash flows
Ignore sunk costs
Include opportunity costs
Include project-driven changes in working capital net of
spontaneous changes in current liabilities
Include effects of inflation
