The availability of funds effects the capital budgeting decisions
Capital Rationing
The availability of funds effects the capital budgeting decisions. The
amount of funds available for capital expenditures will be either
limited or unlimited. Funds would be considered unlimited when a firm
is willing to acquire, through borrowing or equity, any amount of
capital as long as the return on the investment is higher than the cost
of the funds. When the funds that a firm will make available for
capital investment are limited, and the firm has more opportunities for
profitable investments than the limited funds can cover, the condition
is described as capital rationing.
Your assignment is to focus on the following:
- Describe how capital-budgeting decision criteria would be different in a capital-rationing situation than in a situation in which capital rationing was not necessary, and explain the reasons for the difference in criteria.
- Describe the discounted-cash flow technique or techniques you would recommend in a capital-rationing situation and explain your reasons for your recommendation.
Write your response as a one-page memo. Post your memo in the discussion forum and solicit feedback from your classmates.
