There are three general categories of capital budget scenarios: replacement, expansion, and investment in a NewCo. Describe the overall decision-making context for each. How do they draw on similar
The overall process of creating a capital budget proposal has a lot of similarities to writing a business plan for a start-up company. Describe three aspects of the similarities between a budget
In analysis, some focus seems to be on the need for NPV equations to be applied to projects that are mutually exclusive. But in practice we find that the lines are blurred in capital budgeting.
In capital budgeting, a distinction has been made regarding the process of "assessment" as being distinctively different than "evaluation." What is the difference and why is it important?
If bond money tends to be the least expensive cost of capital, why do we bother with the WACC in project analysis? It seems like the cost of equity is hard to estimate, and maybe we are just guessing
In developing a capital budgeting portfolio, there are times when a project with a lower return is squeezed in to the budget but a higher-return project is excluded. How can this be fair? Wouldn't
In ranking projects with the NPV criterion, there are situations where a short-term high cost of capital project is more favorable than a long-term low cost of capital project. Does this make sense?
