- Scenario Analysis Shao Industries is considering a proposed project for its capital budget. The company estimates the projects NPV is 12 million. This estimate assumes that the economy and market conditions will be average over the next few years. The companys CFO, however, forecasts there is only a 50% chance that the economy will be average. Recognizing this uncertainty, she has also performed the following scenario analysis: What are the projects expected NPV, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation?arrow_forwardQuantitative Problem: Bellinger Industries is considering two projects for inclusion in its capital budget, and you have been asked to do the analysis.
