Capital budgeting aims to allocate resources efficiently to projects that maximize shareholder value.
Net Present Value (NPV) is the most commonly used method for evaluating investment profitability.
The IRR represents the discount rate at which the present value of cash flows equals the initial investment.
The Payback Period method overlooks any cash flows occurring after the payback has been achieved, neglecting long-term profitability.
NPV methodology incorporates the time value of money, making it a reliable measure for evaluating investment opportunities.
The Risk-Adjusted Discount Rate (RADR) is modified to reflect the specific risk level associated with a project.
The company's current share price does not directly affect WACC, which primarily depends on debt-equity proportions and interest rates.
A negative NPV suggests that an investment will not yield profit exceeding the project's cost, indicating poor decision making.
Sensitivity analysis helps in understanding the impact of varying assumptions on investment outcomes.
The hurdle rate represents the minimum return level that projects must meet to be considered for investment.
