This paper examines the extent of usage of capital budgeting techniques in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and factors influencing on the choice of capital budgeting techniques adopted by SMEs. A self-administered structured questionnaire survey was conducted with 48 small and medium sized manufacturing enterprises operated in Banke district and information has been gathered through questionnaires and personal interviews. The respondents were chief financial officer and concerned authorities of the firm responsible for long term investment decision. Results of the study reveal that payback period is the dominant capital budgeting technique used in SMEs. The results found that net present value was also the most prevalent capital budgeting method. Net present value as the capital budgeting technique is higher in SMEs who operate in the industry for more than 10 years. Easy to explain to top management, obsolescence due to technological developments and simplicity leading to less time and cost involved revealed the main reasons for using the payback period method. Some of the firms are using discounted cash flow methods of capital budgeting and preferring net present value over internal rate of return.

Microfinance institution (MFI) deliquency management is a new topic in the world of microfinance. The major goal of the article is to examine at delinquency management strategies in MFIs in Nepal, as well as the causes of loan delinquency and how to improve loan delinquency. The study’s goal necessitated an evaluation of relevant literature. In Nepal, the ratio of non-performing loans (NPLs) in the microfinance sector has been rising. The study found that adopting governance in loan delivery procedures, client identification, effective credit appraisal, and review of client credit history, professional knowledge of clients, client literacy, and identification of clients over indebtedness, credit monitoring and controls, and loan utilization can reduce MFI delinquency. The aim of this research is to help MFIs improve the quality of their loan portfolios. It shows that institutionally efficient MFIs may be able to meet both their social and financial goals. The conclusions of this article will aid MFIs in reducing NPL and better managing delinquency.
