Question - Capital budgeting methods are used by almost all organizations to help determine their decision in long-term capital projects. According to Schall, Sundem, and Geijsbeek, Jr, a 1978 survey reflected that almost all companies surveyed used one of the capital budgeting methods discussed in Chapter 24 (Payback, Accounting Rate of Return, and NPV; IRR is one also considered in the survey), with 86% of surveyed firms using more than 1 method (see source below).. Today, these methods continue to receive vast usage among organizations even in the midst of more advanced technological methods. A 2005 study by Apap & Masson looked at capital budgeting techniques utilized by publicly-traded utility companies, noting almost 73% of surveyed companies using one or more of the methods discussed (see source below).
