Essays on Risks.

Simulation is one of the best methods, which helps to evaluate the risks of investment decisions. This method makes use of probability distribution and imitates the performance of project under assessment . The simulation selects random observations from each distribution that affects the output of a project. The process continues as many times until the generation of a representative distribution of the probable outcome of the project. In the simulation approach, the inputs are various factors that affect the profitability of the project, while the output is a representative probability distribution of the internal rate of return or net present value of the ...

I have learned that since the advent of technology, the changes are affecting all fields including engineering. Currently, companies have introduced computer-aided designs that have revolutionized designing and analysis processes. Currently 2D and 3D dimensions have been put into using as technology replaces the traditional engineering processes. One can create as many prototypes and simulation of inventions using the technology than before that are finally produced. Such reduces the cost of production since one does not require actual experiments, and consequently, the final products are affordable. It reduces time, risks, and also increases precisions of the overall products. However, ...
