Assessing Risk at Tasty Foods
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper discussing risk associated with a potential new product. Assessing the project risk is difficult in that we cannot know all conditions that will apply by the time the product reaches the market. It does appear that there is less risk than originally believed, however, based on the results of CAPM analysis. Monte Carlo simulation likely will confirm the findings of assessment using CAPM. Other approaches include altering variable values (salvage value, unit sales, revenues, sales price, variable costs) to find the level at which NPV remains positive. CAPM provides an acceptable overarching view. Bibliography lists 2 sources. Accompanying spreadsheet and PowerPoint presentation are available.
