Question ID: 708117
What percent of Fortune 500 company budgets are dedicated to projects
and capital spending? I'm looking for a stat that reflects more than
just investments in capital goods spending(like the census bureau
provides)--I want something that includes change and improvement
initiatives as well. Also I?d like to know the absolute dollar amount.
And it doesn?t have to just be
Fortune 500 if there?s some other statistic that is equally meaningful.
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

you need to rephrase your question.  you can break down investments,
in a more precise way.  For example:  Investment in PPE would include:

Sale of Property, Plant, and Equipment
Returns annual investments property, plant and equipment - sale from
the cash flow statement (CF) for the fiscal year for the date(s)
requested.

This is calculated as the sum of the following if available:

Property, Plant & Equipment - Sale (CF); 
Investments - Sale (CF); and 
Short Term Investments - Changes - (CF
==================================================

While Investment in total invested capital would include:
the sum of:


Common Equity - Total 
Long-Term Debt - Total 
Minority Interest (Balance Sheet) 
Preferred Stock - Carrying Value 
This item may include the current portion of long-term debt when
long-term debt is footnoted indicating long-term debt includes the
current portion.

& exclude: 

Deferred income tax reserve 
Investment tax credit 

==================================================


Other specific investments may be: "Total Real Estate Property"  

To include:


Total Real Estate Property
represents investment in real estate less accumulated depreciation and
amortization as reported on the Balance Sheet. For Real Estate
Investment Trusts, property is considered investments at cost.

This item includes:

Real Estate 
Real Estate held for Sale 
Real Estate available for Sales 
Rental Properties 
Property under development 
Real Estate Investments 
Total Properties 
Undeveloped property held for investment or sale 
Operating Real Estate Assets 
Real Estate Owned 
This item excludes:

Personal Property (PPE that the company is using, not revenue producing) 
Investment in unconsolidated real estate entities 
Mortgage Loans 
Investment in direct financing leases 
Investment in Real Estate Joint Ventures 

==============================================



You could look @ total reinvested earnings:

Reinvested Earnings
Returns the annual reinvested earnings for the fiscal year for the
date(s) requested.

This is calculated as:

 Net Income Before Extraordinaries - Adjusted for Common Stock Equivalents  
minus  Total Common Dividends by Ex-date  
plus  Extraordinary Items & Discontinued Operations  

If Extraordinary Items & Discontinued Operations is not available,
zero will be substituted.
=================================================

please specify what you want to look at.

Alternatively, you may want to look @ a ROIC 3yr Avg rate.Reinvestment Rate

which returns: 
the annual reinvestment rate as of the fiscal year-end

calculated: 

 Net Income before Extraordinary Items  
minus  Total Common Dividends by Ex-date  
minus  Preferred Dividends  

The result is divided by the one-year average of Total Stockholders'
Equity, then multiplied by 100.

If Preferred Dividends is not available, zero will be substituted.
