It enables systematic evaluation of capital projects using multiple methodologies including NPV, IRR, payback analysis, and real options valuation. ## Capabilities ### NPV Calculation - Discounted cash flow analysis - Multiple discount rate scenarios - Terminal value inclusion - Working capital considerations - Tax impact modeling - Salvage value treatment ### IRR and MIRR Computation - Internal rate of return calculation - Multiple IRR detection - Modified IRR calculation - Reinvestment rate specification - Finance rate consideration - IRR sensitivity analysis ### Payback and Discounted Payback - Simple payback calculation - Discounted payback analysis - Payback distribution - Cumulative cash flow tracking - Break-even timing - Cash flow velocity ### Profitability Index - PI calculation methodology - Capital rationing application - Project ranking - Scale-independent comparison - Wealth maximization - Resource allocation ### Real Options Valuation - Option identification - Deferral option valuation - Expansion option analysis - Abandonment option value - Flexibility premium - Decision tree integration ### Sensitivity and Break-Even Analysis - Single variable sensitivity - Multi-variable scenarios - Break-even point determination - Tornado diagrams - Spider charts - Critical success factors ## Usage ### Project Evaluation ``` Input: Project cash flows, investment amount, cost of capital Process: Calculate NPV, IRR, payback, assess against hurdle rates Output: Investment recommendation, risk analysis, approval documentation ``` ### Portfolio Optimization ``` Input: Multiple project proposals, capital budget, strategic priorities Process: Rank projects, optimize allocation, identify constraints Output: Approved project portfolio, ranking rationale, resource plan ``` ## Integration ### Used By Processes - Capital Investment Appraisal - Financial Modeling and Scenario Planning - Annual Budget Development ### Tools and Libraries - numpy-financial - scipy - Decision tree libraries - Real options models ## Best Practices 1. Use consistent discount rates across comparable projects 2. Include all incremental cash flows 3. Consider project interdependencies 4. Document assumptions and risks 5. Perform post-implementation reviews 6. Adjust for project-specific risk--- name: capital-budgeting-analyzer-9403a122374e description: Capital investment appraisal skill with NPV, IRR, payback, and real options analysis allowed-tools: - Read - Write - Glob - Grep - Bash metadata: specialization: finance-accounting domain: business category: investment-analysis priority: medium graph: domains: [domain:finance] specializations: [specialization:corporate-finance] skillAreas: [skill-area:financial-modeling, skill-area:budgeting-forecasting, skill-area:investment-analysis, skill-area:valuation-analysis] workflows: [workflow:financial-planning, workflow:budget-planning] roles: [role:financial-analyst] --- # Capital Budgeting Analyzer ## Overview The Capital Budgeting Analyzer skill provides comprehensive investment appraisal capabilities.
