River County's Capital Budget
River County Capital Budget
Here at River County we have put together a capital budget because we are planning to make several principal achievements for the next year of business in 2012 because we believe that after further evaluation of the investments we have made in 2010 has helped us determine which items are beneficial to the company and the consumer. What we must ask ourselves at River County is "If we continue to purchase these types of items in the future, will the profit to our corporation be larger that the expenditure of the asset?" We realize that these items do vary; however, we are able to see the positives and negatives of these smaller and larger units by not only calculating the different costs and expected years of the product or asset, but to look at the company's averages, as well.
In reference to the excel spreadsheet that our managers have put together based on last year's cost of expenses, we have looked at two possible assets that...
We also have two possible assets that we made a decision to purchase that we bought that are a couple of goods that we currently provide inside our store that was based on sales from last year which are the lawn mowers and activity centers that we advertised and put on the market. As you can see by purchasing the garbage truck and bull dozer, the advantage of these two pricey investments are expected to last at least 10 and 8 years which is a lot more than some of our smaller items that we carry in the store. Even though these two items are a major investment and should be considered carefully, the annual percentage at which these two decline are only at a rate of 20 and 25% which is average according to the calculations. Even after 10 years of owning and operating the garbage truck, the end value of the expense is still $30,000 and can…

Litzenberger and Joy (1975) note that in a decentralized system, quantitative measures are more common for evaluating projects, but they also note that for larger projects there is some degree of centralization. This is the case with Stryker, where the most substantial projects are approved by the Board of Directors. Ang (1986) notes, however, that there can be agency problems where the interests of the division are misaligned with the
Generally speaking, the higher a project's internal rate of return, the more desirable it is to undertake the project. As such, IRR can be used to rank several prospective projects a firm is considering. Assuming all other factors are equal among the various projects, the project with the highest IRR would probably be considered the best and undertaken first." The equation to calculating the internal rate of return is a
When a range of options are presented to management, the capital budgeting process must be used to determine the costs and cash flows associated with each option. However, the capital budgeting process is only as valuable as the inputs and assumptions. If the assumptions are not grounded in reasonable analysis and quality research, the process will not yield a valuable result. If the numbers that are input into the
