What does the term “risk” mean in the context of capital budgeting; to what extent can risk be quantified; and, when risk is quantified, is the quantification based primarily on a statistical analysis of historical data or on subjective, judgmental estimates? i. 1. What are the three types of risk that are relevant in capital budgeting? 2. How is each of these risk types measured, and how do they relate to one another? 3. How is each type of risk used in the capital budgeting process? j. 1. What is sensitivity analysis? 2. Perform a sensitivity analysis on the cost per unit, unit sales, and salvage value. Assume each of these variables can vary from its base-case, or expected, value by plus or minus 10%, 20%, and 30%. Include a sensitivity graph, and discuss the results. 3.
