Initial question:
In what types of situations would capital budgeting decisions be made solely on the
basis of project’s net present value (NPV)? Identify potential reasons that might drive
higher NPV for a given project. Substantiate your response by providing an example to
explain your thought process.
Reply to This:
Capital budgeting decisions are made with the objective of increasing the value of
the firm. (Heaton,2002) Capital investment assists with the analyzation of
business opportunities that will help determine whether a project should be
accepted or rejected.Net present value is one of many capital budgeting methods
used to evaluate potential physical asset projects in which a company might want
to invest. Usually, these capital investment projects are significant in terms of
scope and money, such as purchasing an expensive set of assembly-line equipment
or constructing a new building.Net present value uses discounted cash flows in the
analysis, which makes the net present value more precise than of any of the
capital budgeting methods as it considers both the risk and time variables. A net
present value analysis involves several variables and assumptions and evaluates
the cash flows forecasted to be delivered by a project by discounting them back to
the present using information that includes the time span of the project (t) and
the firm’s weighted average cost of capital (i). If the result is positive, then the
firm should invest in the project. If contrary, the firm should not invest in the
project.
