Will the benefits persist if investors hedge the risk instead of the firm?

NoYes

NoYes

Can marginal investors hedge this risk cheaper

than the firm can?

NoYes

Is there a significant benefit in terms of higher expected cash flows or a lower discount rate?

NoYes

Is there a significant benefit in terms of higher cash flows or a lower discount rate?

What is the cost to the firm of hedging this risk?

Negligible High

Do not hedge this risk. The benefits are small relative to costs

Hedge this risk. The benefits to the firm will exceed the costs

Hedge this risk. The benefits to the firm will exceed the costs

Let the risk pass through to investors and let them hedge the risk.

Hedge this risk. The benefits to the firm will exceed the costs

Indifferent to hedging risk

Cash flow benefits- Tax benefits- Better project choices

Discount rate benefits- Hedge "macro" risks (cost of equity)- Reduce default risk (cost of debt or debt ratio)

Survival benefits (truncation risk)- Protect against catastrophic risk- Reduce default risk
