In chapter 1 we identifi ed the three key areas of concern to the financial manager. The first of these involved the question: What fixed assets should we buy? We called this the capital budgeting decision. In this chapter, we begin to deal with the issues that arise in answering this question. | Chapter Outline Chapter 9 Net Present Value and Other Investment Criteria Chapter Organization Net Present Value The Payback Rule The Average Accounting Return The Internal Rate of Return The Profitability Index The Practice of Capital Budgeting Summary and Conclusions CLICK MOUSE OR HIT SPACEBAR TO ADVANCE Irwin/McGraw-Hill copyright © 2002 McGraw-Hill Ryerson, Ltd.

And what does “work” mean? Look at it this way: A “firm” is created when securityholders supply the funds to acquire assets that will be used to produce and sell a good or a service; The market value of the firm is based on the present value of the cash flows it is expected to generate; Additional investments are “good” if the present value of the incremental expected cash flows exceeds their cost; Thus, “good” projects are those which increase firm value - or, put another way, good projects are those projects that have positive NPVs! Moral of the story: Invest only in projects with positive NPVs.
