Traditional Methods Discounted cash flow methods (a) Pay Back Period (b) Accounting rate of return. Discounted cash flow methods- (a) Discounted Payback period method (b) net present value (c) Internal rate of return.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF CAPITAL BUDGETING DECISIONS-

FINANCING OF CAPITAL EXPENDITURE PLAN-
The monetary area changes have come to India after a critical slack of time from the declaration of the financial advancement.

After the declaration of the monetary advancement, expanded market hazard and expanded working influence due to pick of higher capital work proportion must be correspondingly offset with a decrease in financing hazard. Moreover, a bigger value base is utilized for lessening the danger of being dominated.

In addition, DCF strategies are supported because computational innovation has made their estimations a lot simpler. The data innovation has improved on the utilization of DCF methods bringing about its expanding reception. All things considered; the organizations keep on inclining toward NDCF methods basically for their accentuation on liquidity. NDCF methods consider hazards and vulnerabilities related to the future and are not difficult to ascertain are other conspicuous explanations behind their being enhanced with DCF strategies. Organizations favour numerous models for venture evaluation and dependence on a solitary capital planning strategy is exceptionally restricted. Most Indian organizations utilize different capital planning methods for project assessment, particularly the ones with higher capital financial plans. The ones, which don’t utilize different strategies, have a more modest capital spending plan size (beneath INR 100 crore). The majority of the Indian organizations utilize a blend, wherein NDCF methods are utilized to enhance DCF procedures.
