What is capital planning?
Capital planning helps you answer these questions: can we afford to buy that new product? Replace that machine? Invest in that new technology? Capital planning is the budget created to match a company’s long-term plans and investments. As a budget for major expenditures, often the capital plan indicates whether these plans are viable.
While all are not considered equal, formal capital planning methods include: net present value, modified/internal rate of return, accounting rate of return, payback period, profitability index, equivalent annuity and real options analysis.
