Risk may be accounted for by evaluating the project
using sensitivity and breakeven analysis.
Risk may be accounted for by (1 applying a
discount rate commensurate !ith the riskiness ofthe cash flo!s" and (#" by using a certainty
e$uivalent factor
%here are several approaches to handling risk&
Risk may be accounted for by evaluating the
project under simulated cash flo! and discount
rate scenarios.

Usin' a Ris! Adjusted%iscount Rate The structure of the cash flow
discountin mechanism for risk is:&
%he ' amount used for a risky cash flo!) is theexpected dollar value for that time period.
A risk adjusted rate) is a discount rate calculated to
include a risk premium. %his rate is kno!n as the

8# A risk&free rate (r), to account for the
time value of mone%9# An averae risk premium (u),to
account for the firm's $usiness risk
# An additional risk factor (a)- with a
positive- )ero- or neative value- toaccount for the risk differential$etween the project's risk and thefirms' $usiness risk#

Calculatin' a
Ris! Adjusted %iscountRateA risk% discount rate is conceptuall% defined
as:
k = r + u + a
+nfortunately" k,is not easy to estimate.
%!o approaches to this problem are&
1. +se the firm)s overall Weighted Average Cost of
Capital" after tax" as k. %he WACC is the overall rateof return re$uired to satisfy all suppliers of capital.
2.A rate estimating (r, u is obtained from the
Capital Asset -ricing odel" and thena
is added.

50. common stock- 80. preferred stock-
;0. lon term de$t#
Rates of return re$uired by the holders of each are &
