C
Calculate the maximum capital cost consistent with non-negative NPV.
D
Estimate an outcome distribution from input ranges and dependencies.

Using $NPV=\sum_{t=0}^{T}\frac{CF_t}{(1+r)^t}$ , calculate NPV for $CF_0=-100$ , $CF_1=60$ , $CF_2=60$ , and $r=0.10$ . Round to the nearest cent. Answers within $0.01 are accepted.

A large project has several uncertain inputs. Under what condition is probabilistic analysis using simulation appropriate?

A
Use simulation for any project, even when input ranges and dependencies have no evidential basis.
B
Use a single central estimate because a distribution would obscure the baseline.
C
Use simulation when input ranges and dependencies have a defensible basis, and avoid unsupported precision.
D
Assign precise probabilities to every outcome to make the result appear more certain.

Which approaches match the different kinds of uncertainty described? Select all that apply.

A
Model a known compliance requirement as an expected cost.
B
Represent uncertain demand growth with scenarios or a range.
C
Include every project-specific risk only in the discount rate, regardless of what is known.
D
Use a precise probability for demand growth even when the evidence cannot support it.

A project’s preferred option changes when a key assumption moves only modestly. What is the most appropriate next step?

A
Keep the recommendation unchanged because the central estimate is positive.
B
Replace the baseline with the most optimistic scenario.
C
Identify evidence or monitoring that could resolve the uncertainty and consider staging or delaying investment.
D
Report the single NPV without discussing what assumptions could change the decision.

A project’s market and regulatory conditions have changed. Describe how to prepare an integrated valuation update that allows decision-makers to understand the revised result, the uncertainty around it, and the conditions on which a recommendation depends.

A project forecast uses inflation-adjusted (real) cash flows. Which discount-rate choice is consistent with the valuation model?

A
Combine inflation-adjusted cash flows with a discount rate that includes inflation.
B
Pair inflation-adjusted cash flows with a discount rate that excludes inflation.
C
Use any discount rate as long as the valuation horizon is unchanged.
D
Count a project risk in both the cash flows and the discount rate to make the estimate conservative.

True or false

A new emissions rule requires a project to install additional equipment. Which model update most directly reflects this change?

A
Increase the relevant capital or compliance-cost assumptions.
B
Change the market-share assumption, regardless of whether demand is affected.
C
Change the discount rate only; leave all project costs unchanged.
D
Record the rule in the narrative but leave the model inputs unchanged.

A team wants to assess a case where permits are delayed and construction costs rise as a result. Which approach best represents these connected conditions together?

A
Sensitivity analysis, because it changes several inputs together in every case.
B
A switching value, because it identifies a plausible set of future conditions.
C
Scenario analysis, because it combines connected assumptions into a coherent alternative.
D
A baseline, because it records the most likely future outcome.

A technology upgrade is expected to lower operating costs but also delay implementation. How should these related effects be handled in the valuation?

A
Estimate each effect independently and add them, even if they reflect the same underlying change.
B
Model the related effects together and check that the same effect is not counted twice.
C
Include only the effect with the largest estimated impact.
D
Keep all affected inputs at baseline values until the uncertainty is eliminated.

A project team compares early forecasts with results from similar completed projects and finds that costs and schedules were repeatedly underestimated. This pattern may indicate systematic in the forecasts.
