Template preview
Step by step
Enter each asset you plan to acquire, its expected cost, and the asset category (property, equipment, technology, or vehicles).
For each asset, enter the useful life in years and choose straight-line or reducing balance depreciation. The template calculates annual charges.
Enter the expected annual benefit (cost saving or revenue increase) for each asset. The template calculates simple ROI and payback period.
Route each item through the appropriate approval level based on cost. Items above threshold require board approval.
Watch out
Classifying operating expenses as capital expenditure to improve short-term P&L
Using incorrect useful life assumptions, leading to inaccurate depreciation charges
Forgetting installation, commissioning, and training costs when estimating total asset cost
Not tracking actual vs budgeted CapEx to identify habitual over- or under-spending
