Therange of capital budgeting techniques present such as net present value, internal rate of return,the average rate of return, etc. allows in evaluating the project and in turn it can easily knowwhether it is feasible to invest in the proposal or not. In short capital budgeting decisions are most crucial, and they are associated with longterm performance of an enterprise. The present report carried out is based on analysis of differenttechniques such as break even, simulation, sensitivity which can be used in the capital budgetingdecisions. Capital budgeting decisionsIt can be defined as the decision taken by the management of the enterprise to allocatefunds to any particular project with the motive to yield a high rate of return along with anotherform of benefits[ CITATION Bie14 \l 1033 ]. The range of investment decisions takes intoconsideration new product investment, expansion, modernization, etc. The key associated withcapital budgeting decisions involves long term consequences, difficult to reverse and considersthe substantial outlays[ CITATION EDU15 \l 1033 ].

useful life. The minimum rate of return that is required is set by management, and in the majorityof the time, it is regarded as the cost of capital to the business. For instance, any organization is planning to replace its old machines with the newmachine to boost business efficiency. The installation cost will be $8475, and it will reduce thelabor cost by $1500. The useful life of the machine will be ten years, and the rate of return is15%.So, applying the concept of internal rate of return in the present scenario Internal rate of return factor = Net initial investment / Annual cash inflow = 8475/1500= 5.65Initial cost = $8475Annual saving = $1500Project life = 10 yearsParticularsYearAmount of cashflow12% factorPresent valueAnnual cost1-1015005.658475Investment (8475)1.00(8475)Net present value0So, by overall analysis, the proposal will not be accepted as the rate of return derivedfrom the proposal 12% is less than as compared with the minimum rate which is 15%.Net present valueIt is considered to be one of the most famous capital budgeting techniques that allowmanagement in appropriately taking investment decisions. It is the difference between presentvalue of cash inflow and outflow which can be positive, negative or zero. This method usesdiscount cash flow in the analysis which helps in identifying the most appropriate present valueof the project[ CITATION Del13 \l 1033 ]. It allows the evaluation of cash flow forecasts alongwith the weighted average cost of capital. Sensitivity analysis in capital budgeting decisionsSensitivity analysis allows in knowing how much change in an input will influence theoutput of the business. It allows in handling uncertainty associated with the organization and inturn long term performance of the enterprise can be easily managed with the help of this like2
