This paper exposes that the technique economic value added (EVA) can contribute to measure other aspects involved in financial decisions for associative groups omitted in traditional indicators of project evaluation, net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) such as i) evaluation of the productive activity of the associated strategies popular and solidarity economy ii) quantifying the profitability generated by the implementation of the project, iii) identifying the main impacts generated by implementing the creation of the company and iv) the identification of the economic value added. This tool permits the employment of probabilistic scenarios, in order to simulate changes in the input parameters for determining when the EVA tends to zero, making a comparative analysis with the NPV. It is used to calculate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) market financial returns because you cannot get or inefficient conduct the study by estimating the beta for the CAPM method because Ecuador has not data from the stock exchange. -
Capital Budgeting Model and Sensitivity Analysis of the Project Feasibility in Vietnam for the Period of 2019-2037
International Journal of Business, Economics and Law, Vol. 17, Issue 2 (December) ISSN 2289-1552 2018 CAPITAL BUDGETING MODEL AND SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF THE PROJECT FEASIBILITY IN VIETNAM FOR THE PERIOD OF 2019-2037 Dini Mentari Wiwiek Mardawiyah Daryanto ABSTRACT Oil and gas sector has long been a major pillar of the economics of Indonesia before the fall in oil prices in 2013. In 2016, this sector contributed USD 23.7 Billion to the country’s GDP, or about 3.3 % of the country’s economy. However, the total of oil and gas production declined around 4.41% per year since 2007, and the sharpest decline was in 2013. This situation gave impact to the performance of the industry, especially to the government revenues. The purpose of this study is to measure the feasibility of oil and gas industry investment project as an option to generate other revenue stream in a foreign country, Vietnam, for the period of 2019 – 2037. Capital Budgeting Model indicators: Payback Period, Return on Investment (ROI), Net Present Value (NPV), NPV Index, Discounted Payback Period, and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) were used to analyze the data, and sensitivity analysis. The calculation shows that the capital budgeting indicators fulfilled the standard required. This study will be beneficial for the investor to explore other revenue stream opportunity to generate higher return. Keywords: Capital budgeting model, net present value, internal rate of returns, project feasibility, other revenue 1. INTRODUCTION The oil and gas industry, both in Indonesia and globally, has experienced dramatic volatility. Global political-economic situations are believed to drive the sensitivity of oil prices. -

White and Morgan R Miles This paper sets forth a capital budgeting technique that is both theoretically correct and sensitive to the special financing needs of the small business. This technique involves evaluating cash flows and determining if they are sufficient to meet the loan payment schedule. A sufficient amount of cash flow must remain after debt obligations are met to compensate the equity investment. Net operating cash flows are discounted at the cost of equity while the tax shield firom interest and depreciation is discounted at the cost of debt. I. -

Capital Budgeting Decisions and Risk Management of Firms in the United Arab Emirates
26 Capital budgeting decisions and risk management of firms in the United Arab Emirates Ann Gloghienette Perez Faculty of Business Administration, Higher Colleges of Technology, United Arab Emirates [email protected] and Francis Amagoh College of Social Sciences, KIMEP University, Almaty [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: This paper investigates the risk management factors that affect the capital budgeting decisions of firms in the United Arab Emirates. Primary data were collected from questionnaires sent to a sample of 150 firms (101 responded, a response rate of 67.3%). Correlation analysis assessed the relationships between the risk management factors and capital budgeting. Six risk management factors (keep good financial records; profitability index; number of employees; diversified portfolios; finance manager’s years of experience; and sound financial forecasts) were found to have significant relationships to capital budgeting. Two risk management factors (adequate insurance, and asset value of the company) were found to have no such significant relationship. JEL codes: G31, M1, M4 Keywords: Capital budgeting, risk management, decision making, correlation analysis, United Arab Emirates 1. Introduction When preparing budgets for capital projects, managers have to strategically balance the risks involved if they are to earn required returns. According to Singh, Jain, & Yadav (2012), a capital budget is a plan for investing in long-term assets, such as buildings, machinery, bridges, and stadiums. Capital budgeting decisions involve determining potential long-term investment projects that require significant funds. Risk management tries to ensure that the incomes from such projects are high enough to justify the investments. To minimize an investment’s exposure to risks, managers engage in practices such as diversifying their portfolios and using sound forecasting techniques. -

How Do Cfos Make Capital Budgeting and Capital Structure
HOW DO CFOS MAKE by John Graham and Campbell Harvey, CAPITAL BUDGETING Duke University* AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE DECISIONS? e recently conducted a comprehensive survey that analyzed the current practice of corporate finance, with particular focus on the W areas of capital budgeting and capital structure. The survey results enabled us to identify aspects of corporate practice that are consistent with finance theory, as well as aspects that are hard to reconcile with what we teach in our business schools today. In presenting these results, we hope that some practitioners will find it worthwhile to observe how other companies operate and perhaps modify their own practices. It may also be useful for finance academics to consider differences between theory and practice as a reason to revisit the theory. We solicited responses from approximately 4,440 companies and received 392 completed surveys, representing a wide variety of firms and industries.1 The survey contained nearly 100 questions and explored both capital budgeting and capital structure decisions in depth. The responses to these questions enabled us to explore whether and how these corporate policies are interrelated. For example, we investigated whether companies that made more aggressive use of debt financing also tended to use more sophisticated capital budgeting techniques, perhaps because of their greater need for discipline and precision in the corporate investment process. More generally, the design of our survey allowed for a richer under- standing of corporate decision-making by analyzing the CFOs’ responses in the context of various company characteristics, such as size, P/E ratio, leverage, credit rating, dividend policy, and industry. -
Capital Budgeting
MODULE 6: CAPITAL BUDGETING Prepared by Pamela Peterson Drake O U T L I N E 1. Introduction 2. Learning outcomes 3. Module tasks 4. Module overview and discussion 1. Introduction As you are seeing throughout your study of finance, financial managers make decisions regarding the benefits and costs associated with an investment. An important part of decision making within a business enterprise is that which involves long-lived projects. The purpose of this module is to introduce you to the decision-making process for long-lived projects, which we refer to as capital projects. Without capital projects, which include replacement projects, new products, expansions, and acquisitions, a business enterprise will not continue to grow. The capital budgeting process requires estimating cash flows and then applying techniques that help the financial manager evaluate the benefits and costs of the investment project. In general, a company should invest in projects that enhance owners’ wealth. Therefore, the financial manager must use those techniques that will help in identifying the projects that will add value. The challenges that we face in capital budgeting are many: estimating incremental cash flows from a project, incorporating risk, and selecting among the many projects that are available. In this module, we focus on the method of estimating cash flows, techniques that we can apply to these cash flows, and how risk may be incorporated into the decision process. 2. Learning outcomes LO6.1 Explain the objective of capital budgeting and relate this to the objective of the firm. LO6.2 Differentiate between mutually exclusive projects and independent projects. -

A Fresh Look at Economic Value Added: Empirical Study of the Fortune Five-Hundred Companies Adnan M
The Journal of Applied Business Research Volume 18, Number 2 A Fresh Look At Economic Value Added: Empirical Study Of The Fortune Five-Hundred Companies Adnan M. Abdeen, (Email: [email protected]), California State University, Los Angeles G. Timothy Haight, (Email: [email protected]), California State University, Los Angeles Abstract Rapid and complex changes in the economic and business environment are posing serious challenges to today’s business executives. Meeting these challenges requires effective measures for control and performance evaluation. This article focuses on the uses, benefits and limitations of economic value added (EVA) as a value creation measure. Calculation of this trendy measure is complicated because of the many adjustments needed to convert the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) based income to economic income. The article compares the performance of EVA user companies with non-user Fortune 500 companies for the years 1997 and 1998. It shows that users performance means profits as percentage of revenues, assets, and stockholders’ equity were higher than the means of non-users. However, the means for 1998 earnings per share (EPS), EPS change from 1997 and EPS growth for the years 1988-1998 were lower for the EVA user companies. EVA will become less popular in its use as an instrument of control and performance evaluation. Therefore, the conclusion of this research is not in support of EVA use as a measure of value creation to stockholders. Introduction he economic and business environments have changed dramatically during the last few years. Business executives are faced with an increasingly competitive and complex environment. The need for creative T leadership to handle the new developments in global business, technology, mergers, E-commerce and in- novations is accelerating. -
