2. CAPITAL BUDGETING
 Capital
Budgeting is the process of long
range planning involving investment of
funds in long term activities whose benefits
are expected over a series of years.
 It is a continuous process and is carried out
by different functional areas of
management such as production,
marketing, etc.

DECISIONS
Examples of capital budgeting decisions:
 Decisions
related to setting up of factories
 Decisions related to installing a machinery
 Decisions relating to creating additional
capacity to manufacture a part which at
present is purchased from outside.

4. WHY ARE THESE DECISIONS
IMPORTANT ?
 Affects
long term growth: These decisions
affect the rate and direction of long term growth
of the enterprise.
 Involves large amount of funds: These
decisions are planned after careful evaluation of
various projects.
 Involves high risk and uncertainty:
These decisions involve risk and uncertainty
associated with the future cash flow of the
project. The rate of earning may fluctuate and
the firm may become more risky.

 Irreversible
decision by nature: These
decisions once taken are not easily reversible
without incurring heavy losses. The firm will
incur heavy losses if long term assets are
scrapped on reversing the investment
decisions.
