Handling Project Uncertainty
In Engineering economics
we predict cash flows
How do you know for sure
that what you are claiming
for interest rate, costs,
revenues remain true???
Well for some situations you
can be close enough to
consider your single point
analysis to be worthwhile.
For other you need to
consider what is called RISK
