ABSTRACT
This research work examined the effect of capital budgeting implantation on corporate profitability in Nigeria, chapter one dealt with the introduction, the background of the study, the statement of the problem, hypothesis, objective of the study etc. The objective of the study is to determine the effect of capital budgeting implantation on corporate profitability in Nigeria. However, chapter two dealt with the literature review of different authors, textbooks and related journal were reviewed. The chapter three focus on the research methodology use, the research designed employed was ex post facto research design. Data were sourced front secondary sources. Analyses of data and testing of hypotheses were done through the aid of statistical tools such as tables, and multiple regression model. In chapter four, the researcher analyze the data the findingsfront data analyzed indicates that capital budgeting implantation has significant effect on the profitability of selected companies in Nigeria; the s/11c61 proved there is a significant relationship between capital budgeting implantation and Return on Asset. profit margin and return on investment companies in Nigeria.;. The study however revealed that management should ensure adequate implementation of capital budget in the company especially in areas ofeconomic services and socio community services as this has a significant capacity to trigger rapid growth of the company on the lung run, increase the percentage o,( the Iota/ expenditure that goes to capital budget as this will put the company on the vantage position for rapid growth which when sustained will culminate into economic development. This research recommends adequate measures should be put in place by managers of these firms to improve and grow their profitability through capital expenditure.
