Abstract
A large integrated oil company is debating whether to switch from a single hurdle rate to multiple hurdle rates for project analysis purposes. Raises questions on: 1) determination of the cost of equity; 2) the usefulness of multiple hurdle rates to adjust for project risk; 3) differences between a project's risk and its impact on overall corporate risk; and 4) the limitations of project analysis and capital budget systems.
