Description:

This paper examines the valuation techniques for internal and external investment strategies based on concepts introduced in the Silicon Arts, Inc. (SAI) Capital Budgeting Simulation. The paper also examines the risks associated with investment decisions. The author reviews discounted cash flow (DCF), relative valuation, and contingent claim valuation, which are three valuation techniques, and examines the meaning of business, valuation and force of sale risks. The paper concludes that, regardless if the risk is at the operational level or because of time constraints, mitigation and assessments techniques are required to avoid significant losses. The DPV formula is included in a footnote.

Conclusion

From the Paper:

"Often, this practice is used as a means of forecasting. While industry analysts have made healthy salaries by making market announcements such as earnings forecasts and buy/sell recommendations, little to no evidence is available to show that investors have made significantly more money by following the advice of these analysts. This strategy is also a form of environment scanning that collects subjective and objective information for strategic and tactical purposes. Therefore, this approach can be helpful in making long-term projections, but shouldn't be the sole strategy used in making important financial decisions."
