Capital Budgeting is done because companies need to make Acceptance/rejection decisions for buying fixed assets etc.
Features of fixed assets :
Investments upfront and returns take a long time.
Risk is long term
Expenses are indivisible and lumpy Ex. If HUL wants to put up a synthetic detergent plant of 50 cr. Rs. -> by spending 25 Cr. Rs., the plant wont be operational at half the capacityS
The Capex decisions are irreversible
Projected P&L :
Less
Sales
Raw Materials
Utilities
Employee Cost
Depreciation
Sales and Distn.
Repair and maintenance + Administrative Exp.
Int. on Working capital
Total Cost
PBT
Tax
PAT
PAT + Depreciation

Cash Inflow, Cash Outflow, NCF – Investment decisions
WACC – Financing decision
Allocated Rent
Cash flows marginal to the decision should be considered. But in case of
