Taussig Technologies is considering two potential projects, X and Y. In assessing the projects’ risks, the company estimated the beta of each project versus both the company’s other assets and the stock market, and it also conducted thorough scenario and simulation analyses. This research produced the following numbers:
| | | | | |
| | | Project X | | Project Y |
| | Expected NPV | $460,000
| | $460,000
|
| | Standard deviation ( NPV) | $130,000 | | $170,000 |
| | Project beta (versus market) | 1.5 | | 0.9 |
