Question

How does the higher project risk reflect a higher anticipated variability in a project's NPW?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The Net Present Value (NPV) and the risk are unequivocally related. With a wrong hazard appraisal, one cannot show up at the right net present worth or close to the right one. Any assets or venture's net present worth is the current estimation of future cash inflows (created from that asset or speculation) discounted utilizing a sensible discount rate.

Step 2

Hazard is an uncertainty encompassing future cash flows. Normally we utilize present cash inflows (or introductory investment) in assessing NPV, future money inflows, and a discounting rate. Risk has importance for the net present estimation of 2 out of 3 segments.
