Investment Appraisal (Capital Budgeting) - From Basics to Advanced

Course Overview

This course has been designed to understand the Investment Appraisal Techniques and Application from scratch.  I introduce the students to different methods used in appraising capital investments and then gradually we dive deep into the technical financial calculations on how to evaluate the projects that would increase the share holder wealth.  We will use different methods of investment appraisal such as Payback Method, Discounted Payback, ARR, NPV and IRR.

To apply these methods in detail and with accuracy, we will learn and practice discounted cash flow method which is commonly known as DCF technique.  With the help of DCF we will learn how to calculate annuities, perpetuities, NPV and IRR.  To make it mor interesting and relevant to real life, we will also learn the impact of inflation and taxation in the calculation of NPV and IRR

Bonus

As the last part of this course we will learn about WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital)  This is an important concept to understand as all of the discounting of cash flows will be done based on WACC
