Investment Versus Financing Decisions
Article Abstract:
Investment analysis is crucial to determining the maximum rate of return on investments in order to make investment decisions. Financing decisions relate to raising of capital structure of the company. Investment and financing decisions need to be made separately. If made separately, new projects will be evaluated on a consistent basis. Profitability can be determined in a true fashion. Financing and investment decisions are made by different departments and therefore need to be considered separately. Benefits of special financing can be quantified and included in the investment proposal. Different cash flows are rated differently in investment and financial decisions, therefore different discount rates are used. Mixing these decisions will cause improperly allocated resources.
