To discuss:
Risk in the capital budgeting project and determination of the breakeven
Introduction:
Capital budgeting is defined as the process of the business which determines and evaluates significant investments and expenses which are large in nature. These expenses and investments consists of projects such as starting a new venture or investment in long time instruments. The prospective projects cash in and outflows are assessed to evaluate the significant returns generated.
