    The Course Outline

    The Focus of the Entire Course


    This course would be conducted in such a manner so as to ensure that the focus is more on
    practical aspects of CAPEX activity rather than on theories and academic inputs. In other words,
    the course has been specially designed to be highly practically oriented in order to ensure that the
    students undergoing this course would be well equipped to handle any real life CAPEX situation on
    their own which they may encounter in their career at a later date.
    It needs to be remembered that CAPEX is an elective course in the domain of Corporate Finance.
    Now, in general, any elective course in the domain of Corporate Finance would invariably have
    very strong interfaces with Accounting, Costing and Basic Financial Management Concepts
    (CAPEX being no exception to this general rule). Those students who would opt for this course with
    the hope of obtaining high quality academic inputs would be utterly disappointed because that is
    certainly NOT the focus area of the CAPEX Course AT ALL. CAPEX (as a course) would
    essentially focus on “Project Finance in Practice”. In other words, a majority of the concepts dealt
    with in this particular course might had already been covered in various core courses with your
    batch and this course would ONLY ensure that the students become adequately and appropriately
    equipped to put those concepts into practice in an effective manner after developing a reasonable
    degree of appreciation about the practical realities encompassing the commercial world.

    Course Objectives
    a) To provide necessary inputs to students in form of concepts, theories and financial
    management tools and techniques related to capital expenditure decisions.
    b) To aid the students in developing an integrated approach to capital expenditure
    decision making process primarily emphasizing on sound concepts and their
    managerial implications.
    c) To focus heavily on the practical and financial aspects of capital expenditure
    decisions, which would equip the students to apply their skills and knowledge
    effectively in the future while dealing with capital expenditure decisions.
    d) To provide necessary inputs on various facets of working capital management
    practices essentially stressing on the concepts of dynamics of working capital,
    estimating working capital requirements and working capital financing policies.
    Study Material

    The course material (to be distributed in class from time to time) comprises theories,
    practical problems (wherever applicable) and case studies. It may be noted that the
    topics covered in various sections of the handouts may be considered as the syllabus of
    the above elective course for all practical purposes. Although the CAPEX handouts
    (along with the handwritten exercise book where you may be maintaining the class
    notes) would finally translate into pretty exhaustive course material by their very nature,
    the students may still be advised to refer to the following suggested readings (as and
    when the need arises).

    Suggested Readings
    A) Brealey & Myers (Principles of Corporate Finance) (Relevant Portions Only)
    B) Van Horne (Financial Management & Policy) (Relevant Portions Only)
    C) Prasanna Chandra (Projects) (Relevant Portions Only)

    Important Note (Additional Points)

     The CAPEX Assignment (comprising the Take Home Assignment)


    would be highly demanding by its very nature and this Group
    Project would promise substantial learning value provided the
    same is sincerely and methodically done by students.

     The take home assignment (namely “Developing a Complete


    Project Report”) would be based on a real life CAPEX Problem
    and once this Project Report is submitted to the concerned faculty
    member, the same would be followed by an individual viva-voce
    exercise of the concerned group members. The evaluation of this
    component would only be released once the viva-voce exercise is
    adequately and appropriately conducted by the concerned faculty
    member. Hence, it may be noted that, so far this particular
    assignment is concerned, the faculty may do differential grading
    among the students pertaining to the same group provided the
    performance in the viva-voce calls for such differential grading.

     The assignment pertaining to the CAPEX course would be pretty


    time consuming. In general, each CAPEX student would have to
    devote 50 hours (approximately) time for developing and creating
    the PROJECT REPORT.
