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.

Corporate finance textbooks state conflicting criteria for capital budgeting projects.  There are three main versions of the criteria, which contradict one another.  Some texts advocate accepting all projects with a positive or zero net present value (equivalently, all projects with internal rate of return exceeding or equaling the required rate of return).  Other texts call for accepting only positive NPV projects and rejecting those with zero NPVs.  Still other texts advocate indifference when NPV is zero.  The texts then are inconsistent with one another in a matter of straightforward theory.  Moreover, a number of textbooks are internally inconsistent, stating rules for the case of NPV equals zero that are at odds with their stated rule for the IRR criterion.  In practical finance, the implications of this theoretical difference will be very limited.  For pedagogy, however, the failure to state theory correctly and clearly can have a greater impact upon learning.

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.

Tujuan Palapa Ring antara lain untuk mengurangi kesenjangan digital antara Indonesia Bagian Barat & Indonesia Bagian Timur serta menyediakan akses telekomunikasi bagi masyarakat dengan tujuan pemerataan akses informasi untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan dan mengurangi kemiskinan. Dalam perancangan jaringan ekstensi, parameter diatas ditambah lagi dengan proyeksi kapasitas jaringan yang dibutuhkan untuk beberapa tahun kedepan. Landing Stations ini terdiri dari 12 Kota Pantai beserta analisa penempatannya yang tidak semuanya sama dengan rekomendasi KMI. Untuk proyeksi kebutuhan kapasitas, didapatkan angka kebutuhan kapasitas untuk masing-masing Landing Stations sampai tahun 2033. 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.

PT Dua Kelinci adalah salah satu industri makanan yang terbesar di Pati yang memiliki daya listrik sebesar 4950 kVA. PT Dua Kelinci perlu melakukan penghematan energi, salah satunya dengan kogenerasi (penggabungan antara listrik dan panas). Penelitian ini dimulai dari pengambilan data berupa kebutuhan listrik dan panas pada proses pembuatan kacang telur menggunakan teknologi kogenerasi Capstone Microturbine C-30 di PT Dua Kelinci. Metode penelitian yang digunakan meliputi analisis teknis dan analisis lingkungan Dari hasil analisis dihasilkan bahwa asumsi pada kondisi awal harus membayar biaya listrik dan panas sebesar Rp 959.784.664,00 sedangkan dengan menggunakan kogenerasi hanya membayar Rp 774.499.669,00 pertahun. Jadi penghematan total sebesar Rp 185.284.995,00 per tahun. Kelebihan penjualan listrik sebesar 103.680 kW (Rp 101.088.000,00), kelebihan penjualan panas sebesar 4,075 TJ/tahun (Rp 255.085.220,00), dan perdagangan emisi gas rumah kaca sebesar 130,88 tonCO2 (Rp 10.470.800,00) yang dapat diasumsikan seperti menanam pohon sebanyak 29 hektar pepohonan. Setelah dilakukan perhitungan Analisis Capital Budgeting diperoleh NPV (Net Present Value) sebesar Rp 107.058.448,00 dan IRR (Internal Rate of Return) sebesar 12,75 % serta PBP (Pay Back Periode) 5,18 tahun sehingga proyek penerapan sistem kogenerasi dengan menggunakan Capstone Microturbine C-30 layak diterima karena nilai NPV lebih besar dari nol dan nilai IRR lebih besar dari tingkat suku bunga bank serta PBP yang dihasilkan sebesar 5,18 tahun. Kata kunci: energi, kogenerasi, capstone microturbine.
