Capital Expenditure Budget
This is the money a business spends upgrading or purchasing fixed assets for the future benefit. In undertaking an expansion of a retail pharmacy in hospital, an accountant and a human resource manager would be helpful to my team.
The human resource manager will be of benefit in deciding whether to employ additional staff or to use the available employees in running the new pharmacy. This is because the human resource manager is in charge of employee recruitment and bargain in the business (Dave, 1994).
On the other hand, the accountant helps in determining the affordable cost of further capital expansion. It depends on the financial position of the hospital and the total cost of setting up an additional pharmacy within it.
