We discussed the use of sensitivity analysis and simulation analysis in the context of estimating cash flows for capital budgeting. Explain another context where cash flows must be estimated and these techniques could be used to measure estimation risk.
Build an Excel Model to compute the NPV of investment project I or II and make sure that the model works
Define “the stand-alone principle” applying in evaluating projects and discuss the types of cashflows in project evolution.

- Please show how to calculate the terminal cash flow of the project using the images attached.arrow_forwardWhich of the following procedures does the text say is used most frequently by businesses when they do capital budgeting analyses? a. Monte Carlo simulation uses a computer to generate random sets of inputs, those inputs are then used to determine a trial NPV, and a number of trial NPVs are averaged to find the project's expected NPV. Sensitivity and scenario analyses, on the other hand, require much more information regarding the input variables, including probability distributions and correlations among those variables. This makes it easier to implement a simulation analysis than a scenario or sensitivity analysis, hence simulation is the most frequently used procedure. b. Differential project risk cannot be accounted for by using "risk-adjusted discount rates" because it is highly subjective and difficult to justify. It is better to not risk adjust at all. c.

- 1-Build an Excel Model to compute the NPV of investment project I or II and make sure that the model works (allows for changes in the inputs ,updates the output-NPV-and gives the same result). 2-Make your assumptions for a hypothetical project and compute the NPV. Then, show how NPV would change when you change specific inputs (ceteris paribus). Do this analysis for at least 3 inputs using scenario analysis or data tables, assigning different values to each input.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows, with one outflow followed by a series of inflows. a. A project's NPV is found by compounding the cash inflows at the IRR to find the terminal value (TV), then discounting the TV at the WACC. b. The NPV of a relatively low-risk project should be found using a relatively high WACC. c. If a project's NPV is less than zero, then its IRR must be less than the WACC. d. The lower the WACC used to calculate it, the lower the calculated NPV will be. e. If a project's NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than zero.arrow_forwardPlas construct also a cash flow diagram for the problem, thank youarrow_forward
