Question 4

Explain how probability analysis could be used to assess the risk of the evaluated projects.

Select all the true statements.

Options :

A : The company can determine a range of possible outcomes for each of the cash flows in the project, for example, a high, low and medium estimate of each cash flow could be determined.

B : The net present value (NPV) of the project, if all high, low or medium estimates occurred, can be calculated along with the combined probabilities of their occurrence.

C : The probabilities can be combined to calculate the expected value of each cash flow element and of the project as a whole

D : The NPVs of a sample range of possible outcomes and the probability of each NPV can be calculated. If a small sample is taken the distribution of outcomes can be used to calculate the zero activities deviation of the NPVs and the probability of success of the projects.

Answer: A,B,C
