Net Capital Expenditures for a Firm
This file summarizes the three approaches that can be used to estimate the net capital expenditures for a firm.
Approach 1: Assume Net Capital Expenditures are zero. (Cap Ex is 100% of Depreciation)
Approach 2: Assume that Capital/Expenditures/Depreciation approaches the industry average (see dataset)
Approach 3: Estimate the net capital expenditures needed based upon return on capital
