Project riskAllowing for Possible Bad Outcomes

ExampleProject Z will produce one cash flow, forecasted at $1 million at year 1. It is regarded as average risk, suitable for discounting at 10% company COC:

Example, 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:


Example, continuedIf technological uncertainty introduces a 10% chance of zero cash flow, unbiased forecast could drop to $900,000:

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

Capital Budgeting & RiskInvest 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 & RiskSensitivity 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.

Sensitivity AnalysisExample

Given 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 OptionsDecision 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.

Corporate Real Options1. 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

Corporate Real OptionsExample - 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%



Year 0 Year 1 Year 2

162 - 145 =$17 mil

Corporate Real OptionsReality

• 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
