Capital Budgeting Essentials

Call 1-800-358-6389 This self-paced online course examines the decisions that every organization must consider, the most effective way to spend their capital to continue operations, innovate, and grow. Capital budgeting is a systematic process used to determine how capital – a limited resource – is allocated to projects that maximize the value of the organization.

When it comes to deciding which new projects to invest in, organizations rely on quantitative tools such as net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), profitability index (PI), and discounted payback period (DPBP) measures to assess which projects to undertake through the capital budgeting process. No organization can claim to have an infinite amount of capital for funding projects. Capital rationing is a fact of organizational life, requiring decision makers to make difficult choices between promising investments. When deciding which projects to accept, an organization must not only perform a quantitative assessment to choose the most profitable projects, but also assess a variety of qualitative factors to analyze the impact and feasibility of each project.
