CAPITAL INVESTMENT ANALYSIS

A money allocating technique that government agencies and firms use to evaluate the possible profitability of a long-term investment. Capital investment analysis evaluates long-term investments, which might involve fixed assets like real estate, equipment and machinery. The aim of this method is to identify the alternative that is most likely to be the best to earn for the business. Firms and businesses may use methods such as risk-return analysis, utility theory, discounted cash flow analysis and risk-neutral valuation in a capital investment analysis.
