hello everyone hi welcome to the channel of WallStreetmojo or watch the video
[16]
till the end also if you are new to this channel then you can subscribe us by
[20]
clicking the bell icon today we have topic with us is capital
[24]
its furniture also known as capex if you go down there is a graph that's when
[30]
that's visible on your screen which sees regarding Ford Motors capital
[35]
expenditure of Ford Motors from 2010 onwards which was pretty high then there
[41]
was a significant decline mortgage well down effects afterwards to the point of
[46]
time of one enough two years there was a significant rise in that and it the the
[50]
rise was followed by consistency over here as you can see the graph and it was
[55]
$1.981B that was the capital expenditure that
[59]
was invested no issues let's understand first what is Capex capital
[64]
expenditure is also known as your capex it refers to the financial out it refers
[69]
to your financial outlay for the purpose of buying maintaining or improving the
[75]
fixed asset base ok such as plant property equipment of the company the
[80]
money spent is considered for the sole purpose of buying new fixed assets ok
[89]
repairing what we call the existing fixed assets
[98]
repairing the existing fixed assets or upgrading the existing capacity of the
[104]
fixed asset and it in from for financial decision of the company and it must be
[108]
formally be approved by the annual shareholders meeting or special meeting
[112]
of the board of director now it includes like buying of fixed assets
[117]
or sometimes intangible assets there is also repairs that has been done on the
[123]
existing asset to improve its life of useful assets third upgrading upgrading
[138]
an existing asset to increase its performance
[145]
okay this other three things now how exactly we are going to do accounting of
[150]
this particular thing will go step by step process it going by the general
[153]
rule of capex account if the acquired property the useful life is longer
[157]
useful life is longer than the taxable year
[168]
see then the cost must be capitalized so this cost is not charged to the profit
[174]
and loss statement at once in the taxable year but is spread over the
[178]
useful life of the asset in the form of it's called depreciation or amortization
[183]
first what impacts does it have the impact is you know there is an effect on
[188]
balance sheet so the future or the entire capital expenditure cost is what
[195]
we call as capitalized on the asset side of the balance sheet and this increases
[204]
this increases the non-current asset base of the entity while at the same
[211]
time it's reducing the cash balance of the entity okay
[220]
second there is effect on the income statement see the capital expenditure
[227]
cost are amortized or depreciated through profit and loss statement over
[233]
the useful life of the asset third there is effect on the CFS cash flow statement
[241]
now since the reduction in the cash balance of the entity is reflected in
[245]
the balance sheet as at the end of the taxable year this financial outlay this
[253]
financial outlet does not get reflected in the CFS that is the cash flow
[257]
statement under the investing activity okay investing activity section as
[264]
capital spending or purchase of property plant and equipment acquisition expense
[269]
and so on and so forth okay now let's understand the formula of capex see
[275]
capex can be calculated using two methods first is called the gross method
[280]
see capital expenditure formula using gross method is equal to gross property
[288]
plant and equipment in the year to less gross property plant and equipment in
[295]
year 2 this is the gross method now second is called the what we say the net
[303]
it says the capital expenditure formula using the net better
[307]
is equal to capex is equal to net property net PPE of your do less net
[321]
property plant and equipment of year 2 plus depreciation in year 2 year it has
[330]
to be 1 not 2 year 1 in a way here also year one okay so this is this are
[336]
the two method for calculating the capital expenditures I'll take one
[340]
example of Walmart see if Walmart in case of the Walmart the cash flow
[345]
statement to decide it's up to the cash flow statement it can be clearly say
[348]
that in the Walmart had spent closely around $10051
[352]
or $10050 million you can see that to by the
[356]
property plant and equipment that was the expenditure that they made and since
[360]
the expenditure was towards buying the fixed assets and amount is very huge for
[366]
it to be expensed the income statement at once at all advanced the expenditure
[370]
could be classified as capex and you know more information about the enact
[375]
nature of the capex could be found if one digs into the notes of the company
[381]
which could be found in the financial filings okay know many ins a pattern
[388]
could be seen in the capital expenditure of the company now it could reflect the
[392]
company is expanding aggressively as for the strategic decision of the board of
[396]
the company in order to cater the large market share in order to cater the large
[404]
market share see now i want to make you understand
[409]
that you know there is difference between capex difference it is
[411]
completely different from other expenditure that you do see some
[415]
industry are more capital intensive and some are less capital intensive right so
[421]
the capital expenditure of the entity depending on the industry it operates in
[426]
so capital intensive industry like you know if you see for oil exploration
[430]
reproduction telecom right you have manufacturing or utility
[436]
they have the highest level of the capital expenditures second the capital
[440]
expenditure different from the operating expenditure okay operating they are
[445]
known as of capex or the revenue expenditure they are fully
[447]
tax-deductible in the same year in which the expense are occur and also the
[451]
capital expenditure is non recurring in nature the it is non recurring strategic
[458]
financial outlay that impacts the long term asset base or something that could
[462]
not be deducted in the full if the year in which it was incurred hence it is
[465]
amortized over the useful life or the useful life of the asset fourth let me
[477]
take you down over here for example you know buying a new car is capital
[484]
expenditure which could be amortized over it's useful life generally accepted
[488]
to 5 years by the accounting rules and industry norms those you know after
[494]
5 years the car could still be in the working condition okay and its value
[499]
could only be charged to the profit and loss statement only doing the useful
[503]
life of the tax-deductible purpose now this were all the details leading to the
[508]
capital expenditure I hope you have got a great idea regarding it and one other
[512]
concluding in the capital expenditure decisions are very critical okay or to
[518]
an organization due to the substantial initial cost and irreversibility and the
[523]
long term effect therefore you know budgeting for the capex is would
[527]
to be very careful and efficient planned and executed see so that's it for this
