Summary Introduction
To discuss: Risk profile for wheat after completely hedging its risk exposure.
Introduction:
The risk profile is a tool that is used to identify and measure the risk exposure of the firm towards the financial risk. This tool is highly consistent with sensitivity analysis. It considers two things such as the value of the firm and prices of the services. The risk profile is plotting the relationship between the prices of a product or service with the changes in the value of the firm, which enunciate how the value of the firm is affected by the price changes.

The risk that the economy slows, decreasing demand for your firm’s products due to COVID-19.
The risk that your best employees will be hired away.
The risk that the new product you expect your R&D division to produce will not materialize.

- Consider a company faced with a competitor's price reduction. Should the company also reduce price in order to maintain market share or should the company maintain its current price? The company has conducted some preliminary research showing the financial outcomes of each decision under two competitor responses: the competition maintains its price or the competition lowers its price further. The company feels pretty confident that the competitor cannot lower its price further and assigns that outcome a probability (p) of 0.8, which means the other outcome would have only a 20 percent chance of occurring (1-p=0.2). These outcomes are shown in the table below:arrow_forwardConsider a company faced with a competitor's price reduction.
