CAPITAL BUDGETING

Capital budgeting refers to the process we use to make decisions concerning investments in
the longterm assets of the firm. The general idea is that the capital, or long-term funds, raised
by the firms are used to invest in assets that will enable the firm to generate revenues several
years into the future. Often the funds raised to invest in such assets are not unrestricted, or
infinitely available; thus the firm must budget how these funds are invested.

Importance of Capital Budgetingbecause capital budgeting decisions impact the firm for
several years, they must be carefully planned. A bad decision can have a significant effect on
the firms future operations. In addition, the timing of the decisions is important. Many
capital budgeting projects take years to implement. If firms do not plan accordingly, they
might find that the timing of the capital budgeting decision is too late, thus costly with
respect to competition. Decisions that are made too early can also be problematic because
capital budgeting projects generally are very large investments, thus early decisions might
generate unnecessary costs for the firm

Pay Back Period (PBP) : The pay back period (PBP) is the traditional method of capital
budgeting. It is the simplest and perhaps, the most widely used quantitative method for
appraising capital expenditure decision.
