Course Description

Capital investment appraisal is an essential process for organizations looking to grow through project launches and investments in various industries. This course focuses on teaching individuals how to analyze and evaluate projects and investment opportunities based on economic, financial, and cost data. It explores different investment appraisal techniques, including the payback method, accounting rate return, and internal rate of return (IRR). These methods help assess the financial viability and profitability of potential investments.

One vital aspect covered in this course is compound interest. It explains why compound interest plays a crucial role in investment, saving, and borrowing. The concept of net present value (NPV), also known as the "time value of money," is introduced to unlock the power of compound interest. NPV highlights that money in the present is more valuable than in the future.

Overall, this course equips individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to make better investment decisions. It covers various techniques and metrics to evaluate investment potential, such as IRR and NPV. By understanding these concepts, individuals can compare different discounting methods and make informed investment choices. Whether you are interested in project investment decisions or simply want to improve your investment skills, this course offers valuable insights into capital investment decision-making.
