Week 7 Skill Building Activity

Q Task 1: Read Chapter 11 and complete the exercises in your study guide to help you understand the material. Task 2: Using the attached Excel template, complete and upload PR 11-6B and answer the following question: • How does using the capital investment tools help you decide what proposal to recommend to the company? Create a new discussion topic by clicking the '**REPLY HERE**' post. In your reply, you will post your answers to the Skill Building Activity questions. Your response to the activity questions should be a minimum of 250 words. Going over the minimum word length requirement is acceptable; however, I am not looking for 1000+ words! It is suggested that you use MS Word or another word processing application that can check spelling/grammar and can show the word count. Because this is a skill building activity, it is important that you do your best to evaluate and assess the discussion without bias or judgment. You are expected to properly cite (https://gmcga.libguides.com/citationmanagement/APA7th) and incorporate scholarly/peer reviewed sources (http://gmcga.libguides.com/periodicals) in your skill building activity topic/posts. Be as thorough as possible when writing your activity topic/posts, and remember, this is an academic assignment, so no “text-talk,” no conversational tone, and ABOVE ALL OTHER THINGS… don't plagiarize!! Lastly, spell-check and proofread your work! Failure to follow these steps will negatively impact your grade. Remember that your first post is what will be graded - any subsequent posts do not receive credit. Unlike Discussion Forums, you are not required to make additional replies to peers in these Skill Building Activities. The Skill Building Activities will use the grading rubric listed in the Important Course Information Section.

Capital investment analysis is a budgeting tool that companies and governments use to forecast the return on a long-term investment. Capital investment analysis assesses long-term investments, including fixed assets such as equipment, machinery, or real estate. Capital investment analysis is used to identify the option that can yield the highest return on invested capital. Businesses may use various models in capital investment analysis, including net present value and discounted cash flow. Companies use several techniques to determine if it makes sense to invest funds in a capital expenditure project. The attractiveness of a capital investment should consider the time value of money, the future cash flows expected from the investment, the uncertainty related to those cash flows and the performance metric used to select a project.
