2 Capital Budgeting IV. Capital Budgeting Data “Capital budgeting refers to the decision-making process that companies follow with regard to which capital-intensive projects they should pursue. Such capital-intensive projects could be anything from opening a new factory to a significant workforce expansion, entering a new market, or the research and development of new products” (Vipond, 2020) Of the 3 possible selections, I chose option 3. The initial investment is $85,000,000 with a straight-line depreciation of 20%, the income tax rate is 20%, and WACC is 9%. B. Recommendation My recommendation is to pursue the investment. My recommendation is based on C. Difference between NPV and IRR “Net present value (NPV)is the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a period of time. By contrast, the internal rate of return (IRR) is a calculation used to estimate the profitability of potential investments” (Gallant, 2022). Both evaluating tools are extremely useful to a company when making decisions on capital budgeting. “If the NPV is negative, then the project or investment is not worth taking because it will be worth less in the future than it is today” (Gallant, 2022)“If a project’s NPV is above zero, then it’s considered to be financially worthwhile” (Gallant, 2022).
