Diplomová práce

Abstract:

This thesis describes the evaluation of a capital budgeting project associated with a long-term investment in assets.The main part of the work is focused on risk estimation. Although conventional estimation criteria such as net present value or internal rate of return may indicate project profitability, the result of risk analysis influences the acceptance of the proposed project and should be a key criterion of the decision-making process. In this thesis we assessed a real life project in order to show the importance of the risk estimation to the decision-making process. For archiving this goal we used different risk analysis techniques such as break-even analysis, sensitivity analysis, scenario analysis and Monte Carlo simulation.
