Decisions involving capital expenditures often require managers to weigh the costs and benefits of different options related to the same goal or project

Decisions involving capital expenditures often require managers to weigh the costs and benefits of different options related to the same goal or project. For instance, deciding whether to replace, repair, or do nothing to existing equipment is a capital expenditure decision that involves calculations, projections, and deliberations. Similarly in HR management, deciding whether to train from within or outsource involves alternate expenses. Managers must be able to quantitatively analyze different options for capital expenditure to identify the best business decisions having the greatest estimated long term ROI. For this Application, you will have the opportunity to utilize the information in this week’s Resources to make a recommendation in regard to a capital expenditure.
You will set up and use an Excel spreadsheet for all your calculations for the problems below, and the spreadsheet you develop should be what you turn in for the Application.Note: TheResources section includes tutorials for those who might need help in designing and using an Excel spreadsheet.
