[23]
that's given below welcome everyone and today's topic is capital expenditure
[28]
formula. Let's try and understand this in a detailed format what exactly this
[34]
formula is all about it's basically an accounting formula and
[38]
capital expenditure is basically a part of our assets so when the key backs the
[48]
capex is basically added it has been comprised as the part of the assets
[52]
let's understand this in a detail format now what is key back key packs is
[56]
basically your net increase in your property plants and equipments that is a
[60]
PPE plus your depreciation expenses so it's net increase in the PPE plus
[69]
depreciation expense let's understand this in a detailed format with the help
[74]
of an example now first on the foremost thing the
[76]
capital expenditure formula it calculates what the total purchase total
[82]
purchase of the assets by the company in the given fiscal year and it can be
[88]
easily found by adding net increase in PPE value during the year to its
[92]
depreciation expense for the same year so what is going to be the formula the
[97]
Capex formula is going to be your net increase in PPE plus your depreciation
[108]
expenses so here the net increase in the PPE during the year can be calculated by
[114]
deducting the PPE at the beginning of the year from the PPE value
[124]
- PPE at the end of the year so that will be the net increases so beginning -
[133]
end will give you the increase right so how we can derive this the net increase
[139]
in PPE is going to be PPE at the beginning or you can say actually it
[147]
should we end - at the beginning of the year. Now on the other hand if you see
[155]
that a depreciation expense over here this part the depreciation expense during the
[159]
year can be calculated by deducting the accumulated depreciation at the
[166]
beginning okay depreciation or I'll say at the end of the year - accumulated
[174]
depreciation at the beginning of the year right so the formula of capex goes
[185]
something like this it is PPE at the end
[191]
- PPE at beginning okay this is the first part + accumulated depreciation
[201]
at the end - accumulated depreciation at the beginning as simple
[214]
as that right so this is the whole formula
[221]
let's understand this with the help of a step by step approach for our better
[227]
understanding the steps to calculate capex now
[235]
the step one is firstly the PPE value at the beginning of the year and the end of
[241]
the year is collected from the asset side the first value is collected from
[247]
the asset side of the balance sheet and the net increase in the PPE value is
[252]
calculated by deducting at the beginning from the end so step two the next is the
[260]
accumulated depreciation at the beginning of the year and at end of
[263]
the year is collected from the balance sheet net accumulated depreciation at
[269]
beginning this calculated collected from the balance sheet and then the
[274]
depreciation expense during the year is calculated by deducting the depreciation
[278]
at the end minus beginning of the year conversely you can also say that these
[283]
depreciation expenses incurred during the year can also be directly be
[286]
collected from the income statement okay where it is captured as a separate line
[293]
item so depreciation expense is equal to the accumulated depreciation at end of
[299]
the year occur with the depreciation at the end of the year - accumulated
[307]
depreciation at the beginning of the year
[311]
finally the step three is just to calculate the capex write our formula as
[318]
simple as that so let's get with an example to understand this topic with
[324]
some numbers let's crunch some numbers let us take then the example of a
[330]
company ABC limited and calculation of capital expenditure based on some of the
[335]
following information which I'm going to specify let's say the depreciation
[339]
expense is 10500 in the income statement then the PPE at the end
[343]
of the year 20 let's say 45500 and at the
[351]
beginning of the year let say it is 40000 therefore the net
[356]
increase in the PPE value is going to be how much its end minus beginning that is
[366]
5500 and depreciation right so my capex will be how much well it is your
[375]
net increase in the PPE and the depreciation that is your capital
[382]
expenditure let's take this is just a simple example which I had coated let
[388]
me take a little one more of a complicated one to make this a good way
[393]
of understanding let us take an example of Apple Inc everyone have heard about
[397]
Apple and the calculation of the capital expenditure let's say in 2017 and 2018
[404]
let's take it as the net PPE at the opening
[411]
let's say 33783 and 27010. Consider this as millions everything is in
[420]
millions ok. Net PPE this will be closing ok so when we are talking about closing
[429]
let's say 41304 33783 then we have the depreciation accumulated
[440]
depreciation at the opening value that is the beginning of the year 41293
[445]
and 34235 finally depreciation closing which will be 49099 and 41293
[458]
so the net increase in the PPE is how much net PPE is gonna be you are closing
[469]
- the opening right so this is the net increase in 2017 okay in the similar
[480]
fashion let's take for depreciation closing - opening and in the similar
[485]
fashion here 7058 so my capex will be for both the years is
[493]
13831 right so I hope you have got a fantastic idea from this
[502]
particular topic finally let me make you understand the relevance and use of this
[509]
formula see the capex formula is used for calculating the total purchase of
[514]
assets that is made by the company during the given period of time and it
[519]
is calculating by adding the net increase in the value of the plant,
[522]
property and equipment and the depreciation expenses during the
[525]
particular fiscal year see the understanding of the capex is very
[528]
important from the point of view of the business since it is usually very
[531]
expensive and especially for the companies who are in the manufacturing sector
[535]
so these kind of capex signify the fund that it is being utilized by a company
[542]
for a purchase of improvement of long term
[545]
assets with an intention to improve the production capacity of the company so a
[551]
capex formula basically offers the potential to reap benefits in the future
[556]
as a part of the long-term strategic goal however you need to note here
[561]
something that the biggest challenge that is associated with the decision of
[565]
the capital expenditure is that it cannot be undone in the future without
[569]
incurring losses given the huge initial outlay so as such the wrong capital
[575]
expenditure can be completely detrimental to the company's growth
[579]
nevertheless the capital expenditure has to be incurred either in
[586]
the form of new setup or for the a up gradation simple of the existing setup in
[594]
order to ensure that the company is operating with the state-of-the-art
[596]
technology and it is to be noted that if the capital expenditure incurred during
[600]
the year he is higher I'm saying if the capex is let's say higher than the
[607]
depreciation expenditure during the year then it indicates growing asset base of the
[610]
company otherwise it is shrinking asset base of the comes well that's it for
