What is a Capital Investment Model
Most companies make long-term investments which require a large amount of capital invested in the initial years, mostly in fixed assets such as property, machinery, or equipment. Due to the significant amount of cash outflows required, companies would always perform a capital investment analysis to evaluate the profitability of the investment and determine whether it is worthy. This is especially important when a business is presented with multiple potential opportunities and need to make a investment decision based on the long-run returns they can get.
To assess the profitability of a capital investment, companies can build a capital investment model in Excel to determine the cash flows and potential returns.
