Capital Budget

A capital budget outlines an organisation's long-term investments. It details expenditures on assets like buildings and equipment. This budget helps in planning for future growth. It differs from an operational budget, which covers day-to-day expenses. Effective capital budgeting ensures optimal resource allocation. It is crucial for financial stability and strategic development. Businesses and governments use it to guide significant financial decisions.
