Describe capital rationing

Describe capital rationing? Should a firm practice capital rationing? Why?
Capital rationing is the practice of setting dollar restriction on what will be invested in new capital budgeting projects. Proprietorships, partnerships and private corporations are in a location to do whatever the owners wish. However, it can be argued that for a publicly traded corporation capital rationing may not be consistent along with maximizing the value of the firm. It is because some value adding projects may be discarded if they would cause the firm to exceed its self imposed capital rationing limit.
