ANALYTICAL DERIVATION OR SIMPLE
ESTIMATION:
Uncorrelated cash flows:
No relationship between cash flows form one period
to another in this case the expected net present value
and the standard deviation of NPV are defined as
follows:
Where:
NPV = expected net present value
At = expected cash flow for year t.
i = risk free interest rate.
I = initial outlays
σ(NPV) = standard deviation of NPV
σt = standard deviation of cash flow for year t.
The risk of the project, reflected in σ(NPV), is
Considered in conjunction with NPV, computed using a
Risk adjusted discount rate and then if this is viewed
along with σ(NPV), the risk factor would be double
counted.
Ex: a project involving an outlay of Rs. 10,000 has the
following benefit associated with it:
-2634 -1087
