This study explored the Fisher separation theorem and capital budgeting decisions of quoted firms on the Nigerian stock exchange. A sample of 60 questionnaires were filled and returned by staffs from particular sectors like manufacturing, health and agriculture.  Descriptive statistics was employed to illustrate the data while the Spearman rank order correlation test was used to determine if a significant relationship exist among the variables. From the estimates, the Net Present Value and Modified Internal Rate of Return are regularly employed by firms in making capital budgeting decisions. Also, when firms employ capital budgeting tools, it creates wealth for both managers and shareholders, providing support for the Fisher’s separation theorem. Finally, a correlation coefficient of 0.827 reflect a positive and linear relationship between capital budgeting decision and Shareholders’ value creation. Thus, an increase in capital budgeting decisions result to an increase in value creation. This outcome is consistent with findings from other economies and previous studies. It thus recommends that firms in the Nigerian environment should ensure they play down on shareholders’ desire for dividends and instead redirect their funds to more investments by employing suitable capital budgeting decisions.

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 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.

This study’s purpose was to link the length of decision-makers’ employment in a firm and their academic qualifications to their choice of capital budgeting methods and of cost of capital techniques. The results show that the net present value (NPV) is more popular than the internal rate of return (IRR) as a capital budgeting technique. Also, irrespective of how long respondents have been employed by a company, they all use a discount rate. However, there is a significant tendency among respondents with postgraduate qualifications to prefer the NPV as a capital budgeting technique. Thus, in South Africa, academic qualifications do play a role in decision-makers’ capital budgeting practices.

Penelitian  ini  bertujuan  untuk  menganalisa kelayakan  dari  rencana investasi yang akan dilaksanakan PT. XXX. Rencana investasi ini berupa pembangunan proyek Palapa Ring Barat dengan total investasi sebesar Rp. 1,000,000,000,000 dengan tingkat bunga sebesar 18% & 30%. Dengan alat analisis Payback Period, Discounted Payback Period, Net Present Value, dan Internal Rate Of Return. Tiga alat analisis tersebut dipakai juga oleh PT. XXX untuk mengukur layak atau tidaknya proyek tersebut. Dari hasil analisis dan rencana proyek Palapa Ring Barat diperoleh Payback Period (PP) 3 tahun 1 bulan dan Discounted Payback Period 4 tahun 5 bulan  dari target PT. XXX yaitu 15 tahun, Net Present Value (NPV) Rp. 1,392,644,795,000 dari target yang di tentukan PT. XXX yang hasilnya positif, Internal Rate Of Return (IRR) 35 % dari 18 % & 30 % yang di targetkan oleh PT. XXX. Dan juga didapatkan hasil Subsidi KPBU dari pemerintah Rp. 1,490,772,000,000 dengan rincian simulasi pembayaran selama 15 Tahun dengan Interest 0 % sebesar Rp. 99,384,800,000 / Tahun.

Abstract The tax rate utilized in capital budgeting studies has a substantial effect on investment performance as estimated by the net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR). Selecting the incorrect federal income tax rate can have a profound effect on investment decisions. Although there is currently considerable discussion in Congress about changing the present tax structure, the consequences of selecting an incorrect tax rate will prevail so long as there is a graduated schedule of any kind.
