Explanation of Solution

Capital budgeting: Capital budgeting is a process by which the management can plan and evaluate the investment proposal of plant assets. The capital budgeting decision is crucial for the long-run financial health of a business enterprise, because the large amount of funds is committed for long period of time, at the same time the capital budgeting decisions are difficult to reverse once the funds have been committed.

Capital-budgeting decisions are as follows:

  1. a. They are Long-term in nature (it affect profitability and cash flows for many years into the future), and
  2. b. Capital-budgeting involves considerable amounts of investment funds (capital).

Due to these characteristics, the formal models that focus on discounted after-tax cash flows are required for the purposes of investment-analysis.
