3. www.izmirekonomi.edu.tr Origins of Project Risk Risk: the potential for loss Project Risk: variability in a project’s NPW Risk Analysis: The assignment of probabilities to the various outcomes of an investment project

4. www.izmirekonomi.edu.tr Methods of Describing Project Risk Sensitivity Analysis: a means of identifying the project variables which, when varied, have the greatest effect on project acceptability.  What might have greatest effect on NPW, if changed? Break-Even Analysis: a means of identifying the value of a particular project variable that causes the project to exactly break even. Scenario Analysis: a means of comparing a “base case” to one or more additional scenarios, such as best and worst case, to identify the extreme and most likely project outcomes.

5. www.izmirekonomi.edu.tr Sensitivity Analysis – Example 10.1 Should we or should we not? Transmission-Housing Project by Boston Metal Company New investment = $125,000 Number of units = 2,000 units Unit Price = $50 per unit Unit variable cost = $15 per unit Fixed cost = $10,000/Yr Project Life = 5 years Salvage value = $40,000 at the end of project life. Income tax rate = 40% MARR = 15% Depreciation 7-year MACRS (Check out % depreciation from table 8.5) for a 5 year project. Develop a table for after-tax cash flow table! Then we will assess the situation under different scenarios

13. www.izmirekonomi.edu.tr REMEMBER L 17 FROM CHAPTER 6 ? Annual Equivalent Cost When only costs are involved, the AE method is called the annual equivalent cost. Revenues must cover two kinds of costs: Operating costs and capital costs. Capital costs Operating costs + Annual Equivalent Costs

14. www.izmirekonomi.edu.tr REMEMBER L 17 FROM CHAPTER 6 ? Capital (Ownership) Costs Def: Owning an equipment is associated with two transactions—(1) its initial cost (I) and (2) its salvage value (S).
