- Describe the benefits and costs of delaying an investment opportunity. (Select all of the choices below that apply.) A. By delaying, you delay the benefits of taking on the project and your competitors might take advantage of this delay. B. There are no benefits to delaying a project. You are simply allowing the competition to get ahead you. C. Delaying a project can resolve uncertainty so you can become better informed and make better decisions. D. In most cases, you should delay decisions about a project until you are certain that the project will succeed.arrow_forwardTrue / False and explain (if the statement is false, explain why it is incorrect) 1.

Monte Carlo simulation uses a computer to generate random sets of inputs, those inputs are then used to determine a trial NPV, and a number of trial NPVs are averaged to find the project's expected NPV. Sensitivity and scenario analyses, on the other hand, require much more information regarding the input variables, including probability distributions and correlations among those variables. This makes it easier to implement a simulation analysis than a scenario or sensitivity analysis, hence simulation is the most frequently used procedure. b. Differential project risk cannot be accounted for by using "risk-adjusted discount rates" because it is highly subjective and difficult to justify. It is better to not risk adjust at all. c.
