Document Summary

We studied how firms evaluate expenditures on long-lived resources using the tools of capital budgeting. These capital budgeting techniques help organizations determine how much and which type of capacity to acquire. Most of these techniques take into account not only the amount of cash flows but also the timing of cash flows. Using a reasonable and realistic estimate of life expectancy is important, as the estimate significantly influences the profitability of the investment. The salvage value is the residual value from selling the asset at the end of its useful life. Operating cash inflows come in the form of revenue increases or cost reductions. Operating cash outflows typically include increases in variable costs and increases in controllable fixed costs. The cost of capital is the opportunity cost of foregone monetary returns. The cost of capital is higher for riskier projects and can be difficult to estimate.
