This book explains the financial appraisal of capital budgeting projects. The coverage extends from the development of basic concepts, principles and techniques to their application in increasingly complex and real-world situations.

  • Extensive coverage from fundamental concepts to advanced application.
  • Practical approach.
  • Applications go beyond the standard industrial projects—cases covered include projects from computer, airline, forestry and property industries.
  • Wide range of examples of possible investment projects, e.g. industrial, forestry, airline, computer, property.
  • Extensive coverage with regard to the incorporation of risk into project analysis.
  • Project cash-flow forecasting: quantitative and qualitative methods with applications to forestry and property investments.
  • Complex and difficult topics (e.g. linear programming and project choice) are explained intuitively with tableaus rather than in terms of algebra.
