Globalizing the Cost of Capital and Capital Budgeting at Aes
GLOBALIZING THE COST OF CAPITAL AND CAPITAL BUDGETING AT AES
1. How would you evaluate the capital budgeting method used historically by AES?
2. If you implemented the methodology suggested by Venerus, what would be the range of discount rates one would use around the world?
3. Does this make sense as a way to do capital budgeting?
4. How big a value difference does this new approach make to the Pakistan project?
5. How do these cost of capital modifications translate into changed probabilities in terms of real events?
Globalizing the Cost of Capital and Capital Budgeting at AES
1. Evaluate the capital budgeting method used historically by AES? What are the policy’s good and bad points?
2. If Venerus implements the proposed methodology, what would be the range of discount rates in use around the world?
3. Does this proposed methodology make sense as a way to do capital budgeting analysis?
4. What is the value of the Pakistan project using the cost of capital derived from the proposed methodology? What would be the value of the project if it was located in the U.S.?
5. How does the adjusted cost of capital for the Pakistan project reflect the probabilities of real events? What does the discount rate adjustment imply about expectations for the project because it is located in Pakistan and not the U.S.
