A capital allocation scheme for a company that has a random total profit Y and uses a coherent risk measure ρ has been suggested. The scheme returns a unique real number Λρ*(X,Y), which determines the capital that should be allocated to company’s subsidiary with random profit X. The...

We derive an adjusted present value expression for making investment decisions, that incorporates the time varying profile of risk capital. We discuss the...
