Whether new project should be undertaken. Capital Budgeting: Decision related to the investment for the long run is called capital budgeting. Capital budgeting includes the investment in the heavy machinery and information technology. Net Present Value (NPV): The net present value is differential amount between the net cash inflow from future investments and net cash outflow in the form of cost that the company has to pay at present as initial cost of the investment.

Capital Budgeting:
Decision related to the investment for the long run is called capital budgeting. Capital budgeting includes the investment in the heavy machinery and information technology.
Net Present Value (NPV):
The net present value is differential amount between the net cash inflow from future investments and net cash outflow in the form of cost that the company has to pay at present as initial cost of the investment.

Summary Introduction
To determine:Internal rate of return.
Internal rate of return (IRR)
The internal rate of return is that discounting rate of capital budgeting in which the NPV of the cash flow of the project comes equal to zero.

Summary Introduction
To explain: Interpretation of profitability index
Profitability index:
Profitability index shows whether a project is worth following or not by dividing net present value cash inflow from initial investment.
