Capital Budgeting Decision Measurement Methods
Prior to deciding on which long-term project/investment is most
suitable, a company is going to analyze different options by
considering various capital budgeting decision measurement
methods. Some of these measurement methods include but not
limited to payback period, discounted payment period, net present
value, and internal rate of return. If you have a business and would
like to invest in equipment that costs $1,000,000, which
measurement method would you choose and why?
