The purpose of this paper is to study capital budgeting in a setting where emphasis is on control over project selection. We construct a model of a multidivisional firm in which there are no constraints on investment and all projects have a positive net present value. Nevertheless, we show that it is optimal for the center to use relative project ranking in determining which projects are to be funded.

Capital budgeting is crucial for firms that have projects to evaluate especially when the projects are mutually exclusive or financing is scarce. The aim of the study is to determining the most widely used methodologies in capital budgeting decisions and their effectiveness. A qualitative research will provide cement sector specific examples in assessing industry projects and compares the methods of Net Present Value, İnternal rate of Return, Pay-back period, discounted pay-back period and MIRR. Each method is briefly discussed and its drawbacks and advantages are mentioned in detail. Other sectors are also examined in terms of capital budgeting. Our preliminary results indicate that net present value method dominates capital budgeting decisions in the sectors under study.

Capital budgeting in practice is intended to conduct an investment analysis of some available investment alternatives, and then determine or choose the most profitable investment. Inappropriateness in determining investment options will result in losses of either real losses or losses due to loss of opportunity to gain an opportunity cost that can actually be realized. The investment analysis will select the available investment opportunities, so that investment can be selected that will provide the greatest benefit of every dollar invested. Capital budgeting techniques can be analyzed by appraisal method of investment as follows: Average Rate of Return, Payback Period , Net Present Value, and Profitability Index.

Flows Over Time

Capital budgeting decisions generally involve the commitment of resources in the current period to secure positive cash flows over time that generate a rate of return in excess of the cost of the funds invested. The most common techniques used to perform this analysis are the Net Present Value (NPV) and the Internal Rate of Return (IRR).Conceptually, these two techniques are substitutable; i.e. the resulting decision from a NPV analysis is identical to the decision from an IRR analysis. In practice, however, the NPV and the IRR can, on occasion, produce conflicting decisions. Specifically, when analyzing mutually exclusive assets the Net Present Value can support one asset while the Internal Rate of Return supports the other. The purpose of this paper is twofold; first, to highlight structural deficiencies in the conventional application of the NPV and the IRR, and second, to demonstrate a procedure to correct for these structural errors.

This study reviews the empirical studies arranged on Pakistani capital market and specifies the pattern of three corporate finance practices.  The subject of corporate finance discusses the various activities performed at firm level such as capital budgeting, capital structure, and dividend payout policy. The capital budgeting technique consists of six methods i.e., net present value, discounted cash flow, payback period, and internal rate of return etc. but Pakistani firms often interested in net present value and internal rate of return for capital investment evaluation. Similarly, the capital structure decision carries the debate on two options of financing i.e., debt financing and equity financing but literature shows that the Pakistani firms generally follow the pecking order theory and prefer more debt financing. Similarly, as for concern dividend payout policy, literature discusses the different theories and determinants but still unable to generalize the dividend payout trend specifically in Pakistani context. Corporate managers and policymakers can use the conclusion for strategic purposes.

Perhaps the most difficult hurdle which companies come across is the selection of the project which is beneficial to the organization in the long-run and also increases the present value of the shareholders. This is where Capital Budgeting comes into play. Capital Budgeting is one of the most important areas of financial management. This paper gives an overview of what capital budgeting is, what different types of techniques comes under capital budgeting and how to represent capital budgeting technique algorithmically. In this paper we also throw some light on what the results of various capital budgeting techniques will be if any banking organization follows these techniques and compare those results. These techniques namely as Payback Period (PP), Average Rate of Return (ARR), Net Present Value (NPV), Profitability Index (PI) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) are used to evaluate projects.
