COURSE OVERVIEW
All businesses make investment decisions either short term or long term. Good consideration and attention must be paid when it comes to long term capital budgeting decisions, where a business or an individual is thinking of investing in a Non Current Asset, large or small, or even staring a new project.
Such decisions should not just depend on gut feeling or mere wishes of the decision maker rather these should be supported by rational calculations to see the financial impact of the decisions on individual’s or organization’s wealth.
This course is designed to help individuals to master the skills needed to evaluate the investment decisions which we call capital budgeting in business.
Average duration of each lecture is approximately twenty minutes in order to explain the topic and do few questions / examples to show the application of knowledge. There are more than twenty topics touched but overall it is about the financial impact of your decisions.
Apart from two long case studies, almost every lecture (with three exceptions) has question examples and solutions explained from real life scenarios.
