Frequently asked questions
What is capital budgeting?
Capital budgeting is the process of evaluating and selecting long-term investment projects to
allocate a company's capital effectively. It involves analysing expected cash flows, costs and
returns to decide whether a project is worth pursuing, using metrics such as NPV, IRR and
payback period.
What are the key investment metrics for capital budgeting?
The key metrics include Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Modified
Internal Rate of Return (MIRR), Accounting Rate of Return (ARR), Payback Period, Profitability
Index (PI) and Equivalent Annual Annuity (EAA). These help assess profitability, risk and the
time to recover invested capital.
Why is capital budgeting useful?
Capital budgeting provides a structured, quantitative framework for comparing investment
opportunities, helping businesses allocate scarce capital to the projects most likely to
create value. It reduces reliance on intuition, highlights risks and returns, and supports
transparent, defensible decision-making.
