Assessing Risk
Sensitivity Analysis
The trick is to change one input and see
how much the bottom line changes.
If the bottom line changes a lot, youd
better pay attention to the input you
changed
Is that input really risky or is it ..?
If its really risky, what can we do about
it?

Assessing Risk
Scenario Analysis
Sometimes one input is related to another.
Maybe sales goes up when interest rates go
down. If so, do a few different scenarios,
and see what happens to the bottom line.
You could average out the bottom line if
you wanted to. The result may be different
from your point estimate.

Real Options
Think of it this way. Someday, you might be
married. Wouldnt it be nice if you had:
1. The option to delay the wedding by a year or
two. Maybe you could live with the person
to find out if it will work. We call that an
investment timing option.
2. The option to get out of the marriage once
youve gotten into it (i.e., divorce). We call
that an abandonment option.
3. The option to add another husband a few
years down the line if it seems like a good
idea at that time. We call that a growth

Real Options
In business terms, real options exist when
managers can influence the size and risk of a
projects cash flows by taking different
actions during the projects life in response to
changing market conditions.
Its really cool if you can identify these
options. How do you do that?
Purposefully have them on your todo list. Then
you wont need a brainwave.
Real Options
Why do we care?
Because assessing projects ... may result in
different decisions and more shareholder
wealth.
Because we have the tools to do so.
