2. Capital is the total investment of the company
and budgeting is the art of building budgets
The large amounts spent for these types of
projects are known as capital expenditures.
Capital budgeting usually involves calculation of
each project’s future accounting profit by period,
the cash flow by period, the present value of
cash flows after considering time value of
money, the number of years it takes for a
project’s cash flow to pay back the initial cash
investment, an assessment of risk, and various
other factors.
3. OBJECTIVES OF CAPITAL
BUDGETING
• To find out the profitable capital expenditure.
• 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 evaluate the merits of each proposal to
decide which project is best.
4. FEATURES OF CAPITAL
BUDGETING
Capital budgeting involves the investment of funds
currently for getting benefits in the future.
Capital expenditure decisions are irreversible.
The long term investment is fixed.
The investments made in the project are determining
the financial condition of business organization in future.
Generally, the future benefits are spread over several
years.
5. LIMITATIONS OF CAPITAL BUDGETING
• The future is uncertain, the presumed cash inflows and
cash outflows may not be true. Therefore, the selection
of profitable project may be wrong.
• Capital budgeting process does not take into
consideration of various non-financial aspects of the
projects .
• It is also not correct to assume that mathematically
exact techniques always produce highly accurate
results.
• Risk of any project cannot be presumed accurately. The
project risk is varying according to the changes made in
the business world.
• In case of urgency, the capital budgeting technique
cannot be applied

9. PAYBACK PERIOD METHOD
Pay-back Period is the time required to recover
the initial investment in a project. It is a
simple additive method for assessing the
worth of a project.
10. NET PRESENT VALUE (NPV):
The net present value method is a discounted cash
flow approach to capital budgeting. The net present
value (NPV) of an investment proposal is the
present value of the proposal’s net cash flows less
the proposal’s initial cash outflow (ICO). In formula
form we have:
NPV=PV OF CASH INFLOWS- PV OF CASH OUTFLOWS
= CF 1 + CF2 + CF3 - CFo
(1+K)1 (1+K)2 (1+K)3
where k is the required rate of return.

12. INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN
• The internal rate of return (IRR) for an
investment proposal is the discount rate that
equates the present value of the expected net
cash flows (CFs) with the initial cash outflow
(ICO). If the initial cash outflow or cost occurs
at time 0, it is represented by that rate, IRR,
such that
IRR= L% + [NPV+ /(NPV+ - NPV-)] x difference in
the discounting rates
