The certainty equivalent method uses the rationale that given a risky
cash flow, the decision maker will evaluate this cash flow according to
an expected utility, the utility estimate being hypothesized to be equal
to utility derived from some certain cash flow amount. The decision
maker performs this process for each cash flow. The valuation model is
as follows:
N

Ct
(1 i )t
where
Ct = certainty equivalent cash flow at period t,
Ct t X t
V

(1 i )t
The certainty equivalent method (CE) adjusts for risk directly through
the expected value of the cash flow in each period and then discounts
these risk adjusted cash flows by the risk free rate of interest, Rf. The
formula for this method is given as follows:

Summary of Proposal A
The standard deviation = SQRT (14,400,000)
= $3,795
The expected cash flow
= $5,000
Coefficient of Variation (CV) = $3,795 / $5,000
= 0.759
CV is a measure of relative risk and is the ratio of
standard deviation to the mean of the distribution.

Summary of Proposal B
The standard deviation = SQRT (8,100,000)
= $2,846
The expected cash flow = $5,000
Coefficient of Variation (CV) = $2,846 / $5,000
= 0.569
The standard deviation of B < A ($2,846< $3,795), so B
is less risky than A.

Therefore,
discount all cash
