Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capital budgeting is one of the most important areas of financial management. There are several techniques commonly used to evaluate capital budgeting projects namely the payback period, accounting rate of return, present value and internal rate of return and profitability index. Recent studies highlight that financial managers worldwide favor methods such as the internal rate of return (IRR) or non-discounted payback period (PP) models over the net present value (NPV), which is the model academics consider superior. In particular this research focused on small, medium and large businesses and investigated a number of variables and associations relating to capital budgeting practices in businesses in the Western Cape province of South Africa. The results revealed that payback period, followed by net present value, appears to be the most used method across the different sizes and sectors of business. It was also found that 64% of businesses surveyed used only one technique, while 32% of the respondents used between two to three different types of techniques to evaluate capital budgeting decisions. The findings show that the more complicated methods such as IRR and NPV are most favored by the large businesses as compared to the small businesses. The majority of the respondents believed that project definition was the most important stage in the capital budgeting process. Implementation stage appeared to be the most difficult stage for the manufacturing sector whereas Project definition, Analysis and selection and Implementation were generally rated as being the difficult stages by the retail sector. Project definition and Analysis and selection were found to be the most difficult stages by the service sector. Most businesses used the cost of bank loan as a basis in capital budgeting and more than two thirds of respondents used non-quantitative techniques to consider risk when making a decision on investing in fixed assets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by authors of established texts in this area, this book is a companion volume to the classic The Capital Budgeting Decision. Exploring this key topic in corporate finance the authors examine the complexities of capital budgeting as well as the opportunities to improve the decision process where risk and time are important elements. Containing ‘Global Aspects’ sections that cover cross-border decision-making, this book also emphasizes the application of capital budgeting techniques to a variety of issues, including the hugely significant ‘buy versus lease’ decision that cost corporations billions each year. It gives in-depth coverage to: real options - the value of a project must take into consideration the flexibility that it provides management, acknowledging the option of making decisions in the future when more information is available decomposing cash flows - a project consists of many series of cash flows and each series deserves its own specific risk-adjusted discount rate. Decomposing the cash flows of an investment highlights the fact that while managers are generally aware that divisions and projects have different risks, too often they neglect the fact that the cash flow components may also have different risks, with severe consequences on the quality of the decision-making. Designed to assist those making business decisions at all levels, this volume is essential reading for all those working in or studying capital budgeting.

Download or read book Capital Budgeting Practices written by Thabani Sibanda and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main focus of this study is the analysis of the capital budgeting practices and techniques implemented by companies listed on the Alternative Exchange (Alt X) of the Johannesburg Securities Exchange (JSE). Dayananda, Iron, Harrison, Herbohn and Rowland (2002) explain that capital budgeting is the process through which companies assess various sizeable investments, both tangible and intangible, to determine the most viable investment projects for the company. Dayananda et al. (2002) further explain that viable investment projects are ventures that correspond with the company's objective of maximising shareholder wealth. Therefore, the capital budgeting process used by a company is very influential to its long-term sustainability. Ryan and Ryan (2002) add that an effective capital budgeting process employs appropriate measures and accurate techniques that ensure the company invests only in the most lucrative proposed projects. This study commences by presenting a general introduction into the research conducted, offering background insight that explains the need for a study of this nature. The research problem that was identified is discussed, followed by the purpose statement of the study and a definition of all the research objectives that guide the study. Furthermore, the academic value and intended contribution of the study as well as its practical benefits are disclosed. The introductory chapter also consists of the delimitations of the study and the key concepts covered in this study. In order to provide a complete analysis of the capital budgeting practices employed by the companies listed on the Alt X, a comprehensive literature review was conducted. This highlighted the importance of capital budgeting as well as the capital budgeting behaviour of large firms in South Africa and internationally. What emerged from this research was that the capital budgeting practices and techniques implemented by large companies generally tend to align with the recommendations of financial theory which advocates the use of discounted cash flow techniques and a discount rate that accounts for all sources of funds available to the company. The literature review also assesses studies conducted on the capital budgeting practices of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), the category under which Alt X listed companies fall. Findings from those studies reveal that SMEs traditionally employ inferior capital budgeting techniques in comparison to their - iii - larger counterparts and use no formal procedures to calculate an acceptable rate of return required from proposed investment projects. The theoretical background gained from the literature review is complimented by an empirical analysis which investigates the actual capital budgeting behaviour of the SMEs listed on the Alt X. Companies included in the study were from all seven sectors represented on the Alt X and selection was limited only to those with an active primary listing on this board. A web-based survey comprising of 28 questions was formulated using Survey Monkey Software to collect and analyse responses. The survey was divided into sections which included questions about respondent demographics, company profiles, capital budgeting practices implemented, capital rationing and the use of discount rates. The survey remained active for a period of eight weeks to allow sufficient time for all respondents invited to participate. A total of 15 responses were obtained from this process when the survey was closed to further responses. The research design, methodology and techniques that guided this study are also disclosed in this dissertation. The final part of this dissertation contains research findings obtained from analysing the primary data gathered through the survey. These findings are analysed and interpreted in isolation, by relating them to findings from comparable studies of the same population as well as to similar studies conducted both locally and internationally. Finally, this dissertation concludes by summarising all research findings derived from the literature review and the empirical study. It also presents recommendations and areas for further study that could be of academic and practical value to the field of finance.
