investment outlay

Wouldn't that be worth months of preparation and an investment outlay?

Above all, this was a first programme, so that this expenditure can be regarded as investment outlay.

In other words, it is the rate that equates future net cash flows to the initial investment outlay.

Strike price: this corresponds to any (non-recoverable) investment outlays, typically the prospective costs of the project.

Consider, for example, the choice between two mutually exclusive investments, A and B, both of which involve an investment outlay of £50,000.

It will need to be solved, but not at the cost of farmers who have tied themselves to tobacco production and incurred the relevant investment outlay.

These present values are then summed, and this sum net of the initial investment outlay is the NPV.

Companies, fearful of uncertainty and forced to issue a larger number of (lower-priced) shares to raise any given amount of money, react by cutting investment outlays.

Heavy precipitation occurs, especially during harvest time in August and September, requiring heavy investment outlays in grain-drying structures and ventilation systems.

If the current (and zesty) recovery suffers a relapse, we may need to "front-load" some of the investment outlays and incentives for the sake of short-term stimulus.

Of course, not all strategic options are of that type, but, where they are, this approach may at least get one into the right position for estimating the cash benefits to compare with the investment outlay.

With a total investment outlay of around US$5 billion over the next decade, Emaar aims to develop and manage around 100 hospitals each with 200-bed capacities and medical specialities in key centres.

Since business and investment outlays have no place in the base of either tax, intuition suggests that business and investment interest expenses would be treated identically under a cash-flow consumption tax and an SHS tax.

Static or declining firms are likely to be valued at less than the book value of their assets, while rapidly growing firms can be priced at many times the book value of their assets, reflecting the fact that growth adds value to the initial investment outlay.

But Toyota's heavy investment outlays and its focus on smaller, less profitable vehicles raise questions about whether Toyota managers are more concerned with gaining market share than with increasing profits, said Mr. Nakanishi of UBS, who noted that Toyota's profit margin had fallen for each of the last three quarters.

The initial investment outlay is deducted from the sum of these present value cash flows to produce the NPV of a project; the decision rule is that all projects yielding a positive NPV should be accepted and all projects yielding a negative NPV should be rejected.
