CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
A business will have to decide IF it can afford
to purchase ASSETS & what benefit &
Financial Return those Assets will create
As such, Managers have to:
1. PLAN buy the asset
2. MAKE a DECISION is it the right asset
3. CONTROL against that Decision will it give
an actual return as we expect?
What is this?
this
Based on the concept that money received
now is worth more than the same sum
received in one years time or at another time
in the future.
When capital expenditure projects are
evaluated, it is appropriate to decide whether
the investment will make enough profit to
allow for the time value of money as capital
is tied up over time.
Simple Interest:
Interest
Simple interest involves adding interest to an
invested capital sum of money, whereby the
interest that is added each period is added to
the capital sum only and not to the interest
earned in previous periods.
Simple interest formula :FV = PV (1 + rn)

Initial investment
$1,000
Interest year 1 $1,000 x 10% $100
Value end of year 1
$1,100
Interest year 2 $1,100 x 10% $110
Value end of year 2
$1,210
Interest year 3 $1,210 x 10% $121
Value end of year 3

The value at time 0 of a future cash flow,
having taken account of the time value of
money. In investment appraisal, it represents
the maximum an investor would be willing to
invest for a future cash inflow given a
specified required return
Compounding ReRe-cap:
cap
Compounding calculates the future value of a
given sum of money
FV = PV (1 + r)n
where FV = Future Value after n periods
PV = Present or Initial Value
r = Rate of Interest per period
n = Number of periods
Final rere-cap:
cap
Compounding: we move from a present
value to a future value by adding compound
interest each year
Discounting:
Discounting:
Discounting is the reverse of compounding
we start at the future value and work back to
the present value.
PV = FV (1 + r)n
Where:
Where
PV = present value
FV = future value
r = rate of interest
n = number of periods

Decision Criteria:
Criteria
If the investment has a positive NPV then the
project should be accepted (negative rejected).
A positive NPV means that the project will
increase the wealth of the company by the
amount of the NPV at the current cost of
capital
