Assessing Profitability

Knut Samset

Chapter 23 in Early Project Appraisal, 2010, pp 225-229 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Evaluating profitability1 is central in the choice of concept. Needless to say, project profitability can be proven only retrospectively. But in the front-end phase, profitability may be appraised, mostly on the bases of assumptions and judgement. Hence, there’s often a need for stochastic analyses that can derive meaningful figures for costs and benefits from probability distributions.
