Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of capital budgeting under uncertainty, a topic of ongoing debate and evolution within financial theory. The author dissects two primary approaches to navigating investment decisions amidst uncertainty: adjusting the hurdle rate based on project risk and applying portfolio selection techniques. While the hurdle rate approach, using net present value calculations, is widely adopted, it assumes risk independence among projects. In contrast, the portfolio selection approach, inspired by Markowitz's framework, acknowledges the interdependence of project risks, considering covariances with existing assets and other potential investments. The author argues for the validity of the risk-independence assumption, asserting that projects with similar risk profiles to existing securities can be evaluated independently. This book challenges the notion that diversification through mergers benefits shareholders, demonstrating that the combined value remains equivalent to the sum of the individual firms' pre-merger values. The author contends that financial decisions, including capital budgeting and mergers, create value only by enabling the construction of portfolios with unique risk-return characteristics. This exploration of capital budgeting under uncertainty provides valuable insights for financial managers and investors alike, urging a reassessment of traditional investment evaluation methods and diversification strategies. The book concludes that understanding the relationship between risk characteristics and market value is crucial for making sound investment choices in an uncertain environment.
