Funding issues in a major strategic project: a case of investment appraisal

David Dugdale and Magdy Abdel-Kader

Accounting Education, 1999, vol. 8, issue 1, 31-45

Abstract: This paper describes and allows interaction with the issues involved in a major investment decision. In the summer of 1997, UKH faced major decisions concerning the purchase and funding of new plant and equipment. The authors were given excellent access to the company and were able to document key steps in the decision process. The issues are set out in a case study format which allows the reader to retrace the analyses carried out within UKH. A number of tasks are suggested which should test, develop and enhance a range of analytical, social and negotiation skills. The case can be handled in a variety of ways and most of the suggested tasks can be undertaken or omitted depending on the pedagogical objectives of the course/instructor.
