Overview

Large equipment and fleet purchases stall when the committee cannot compare them with other requests. This 12-slide Google Slides deck sets out one capex case in the order a finance director reads it: the need with its failure and downtime evidence, the options including doing nothing, the financials with payback, NPV and IRR, the risks, and the final ask.

The sample is a fictional request from Ashdown Park Capital to replace 60 service vans for $3.3M, with a $3.0M base cost, a 10% contingency and a 7-year life. Each slide shows its numbers in a chart, table or stats layout so the arithmetic can be checked. Replace the need data, options, cost lines and discount rate with your own, then recalculate the returns before you share it.

Useful for

  • A finance team asking the investment committee to approve a fleet replacement before the budget closes
  • An operations manager showing that waiting for van breakdowns costs more than buying the vans now
  • A CFO comparing a capex request against others in the annual capital plan using the same layout

What's included

  • Cover slide with the request amount and a decision subtitle
  • Need slide with four bullets and a note on the cost of waiting
  • Fleet evidence in three columns: age, failures and waiting cost
  • Two-by-two options matrix including the do-nothing choice
  • Option comparison grid, financial chart and returns stats
  • Risk table with owners, impact and actions, then the ask and contacts
