Simulation Overview

The Capital Budgeting Simulation, developed by investment bankers and finance academics, offers a realistic exploration of investment decision-making processes.

Students engage in evaluating, selecting, and managing investment projects, using techniques like NPV, IRR, and Payback Period.

This simulation emphasizes critical thinking, with students being assessed on their ability to optimize capital allocation for maximum return on investment.
