Explanation of Solution

The concept of basic NPV (Net present value) addresses risk by using discounted projected cash flows from a project through cost of capital of the company. This rate of discount should be based on the average amount of risk at the company. To the point that a project has more or less of average risk, the utilization of the company’s cost of capital doesn’t make the necessary changes to the risk.

Also, the simple model does not specifically consider the volatility of the returns from a project.
