While doing capital investment, CFO analyze all the risk related
to project. There are several methods that can be used by CFO for
project evaluation, but the best method should consider the project
risks while calculating net present value of cashflow generated by
the project.
If I were a CFO of an organization then I will consider risk
adjusted discount rate because it calculate NPV while considering
the risk factors. There are many advantages of using these method
which are as follows:
1. It can be used for the calculation for different time period
and one can use different discount rate for risk factors for
specific time period.
2. One can adjust the risk by incresing the time period.
3. While evaluating the risk for any project, it is the easiest
one.
Risk adjusted discount rate method produces most accurate result
at differing levels of project risk and at the same time it is
easiest to implement. One needs to calculate the risk factors
before using this method.
