Ready to Use:Capital Budgeting Spreadsheet: Interactive Financial Model in Excel -on Cd-rom- Used by Top Executives

Ready to Use: Capital Budgeting Spreadsheet features an interactive financial model in Excel (on CD-Rom), whereby you can simply plug in the numbers as directed in the spreadsheet to quickly and easily arrive at your desired results. Save time and money by using the industry standard tools the top executives use. Written by Professor Matthew McCarty of the top-rated Whittemore School of Business and Economics, the Capital Budgeting model allows you to analyze results of the valuation from perspectives of Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). The model contains an easy-to-use worksheet in Excel that allows the user to simply plug in numbers and get immediate and accurate results. NPV is calculated by discounting all anticipated future cash flows back to the present, or time zero, including the initial investment. When NPV is positive, the project is earning a return in excess of the cost of capital, and if the inputs for the model are reasonable, these projects should generally be undertaken. Negative NPV indicates a return below the cost of capital. This generally indicates that the price of the asset being considered is too high for this to be a profitable venture. An NPV of zero indicates a project that just earns the cost of capital. Ready to Use: Capital Budgeting Financial Model walks the user step by step to ending up at their desired results. The spreadsheet can also be customized so that you can modify it to come up with different results and add in additional criteria.Within this spreadsheet lies a time and money saving tool which every executive, investment banker, entrepreneur, CFO and CEO should have at their fingertips.McCarty, Matt is the author of 'Ready to Use:Capital Budgeting Spreadsheet: Interactive Financial Model in Excel -on Cd-rom- Used by Top Executives', published 2005 under ISBN 9781597010337 and ISBN 1597010332.
