Project risk

Allowing for Possible Bad OutcomesExample, continuedCompany’s engineers are behind schedule developing technology for project. There is a small chance that it will not work. Most likely outcome still $1 million, but some chance that project Z will generate zero cash flow next year:

Since the 94.6 is risk free, we call it a Certainty Equivalent of the 100.

Capital Budgeting & Risk

Invest in highest NPV project

Need Discount rate to get NPV

Use CAPM to get discount rate

Modify CAPM (account for proper risk)

Modify Cash Flows

Capital Budgeting & Risk

Sensitivity Analysis - Analysis of the effects of changes in sales, costs, etc. on a project.

Scenario Analysis - Project analysis given a particular combination of assumptions.

Simulation Analysis (Monte Carlo) - Estimation of the probabilities of different possible outcomes.

Break Even Analysis - Analysis of the level of sales (or other variable) at which the company breaks even.

Decision Trees – Binomial model in which outcomes are path dependent.

Real Options – The value of flexibility.

Page 31: CORPORATE FINANCIAL THEORY Lecture 3. Interest Rate Cash Flow Interest Rate and Cash Flow - REALITY Is not guaranteed Has many different sources.

Sensitivity Analysis

ExampleGiven the expected cash flow forecasts for Otobai Company’s Motor Scooter project, listed on the next slide, determine the NPV of the project given changes in the cash flow components using a 10% cost of capital. Assume that all variables remain constant, except the one you are changing.

Flexibility & Real Options

Decision Trees - Diagram of sequential decisions and possible outcomes.

Decision trees help companies determine their Options by showing the various choices and outcomes.

The Option to avoid a loss or produce extra profit has value.

The ability to create an Option thus has value that can be bought or sold.

Page 52: CORPORATE FINANCIAL THEORY Lecture 3. Interest Rate Cash Flow Interest Rate and Cash Flow - REALITY Is not guaranteed Has many different sources.

Corporate Real Options

1. Option to expand (make follow up investment)

2. Option to abandon3. Timing option (wait and invest later)

4. Flexible production facilities

Value = NPV with option - NPV w/o option

Value = Black Scholes approach

Page 53: CORPORATE FINANCIAL THEORY Lecture 3. Interest Rate Cash Flow Interest Rate and Cash Flow - REALITY Is not guaranteed Has many different sources.

Corporate Real Options

Example - AbandonMrs. Mulla gives you a non-retractable offer to buy your company for

$150 mil at anytime within the next year. Given the following decision tree of possible outcomes, what is the value of the offer (i.e. the put option) and what is the most Mrs. Mulla could charge for the option?

Use a discount rate of 10%

Corporate Real Options

Reality

• Decision trees for valuing “real options” in a corporate setting can not be practically done by hand.

• We must introduce binomial theory & B-S models
