Pricing models

The Beckstead-Derr-Price model (Fig. 1) considers both the gas-phase and condensed-phase reactions. It assumes heat release from the condensed phase, an oxidizer flame, a primary diffusion flame between the fuel and oxidizer decomposition products, and a final diffusion flame between the fuel decomposition products and the products of the oxidizer flame. Examination of the physical phenomena reveals an irregular surface on top of the unheated bulk of the propellant that consists of the binder undergoing pyrolysis, decomposing oxidizer particles, and an agglomeration of metallic particles. The oxidizer and fuel decomposition products mix and react exothermically in the three-dimensional zone above the surface for a distance that depends on the propellant composition, its microstmcture, and the ambient pressure and gas velocity. If aluminum is present, additional heat is subsequently produced at a comparatively large distance from the surface. Only small aluminum particles ignite and bum close enough to the surface to influence the propellant bum rate. The temperature of the surface is ca 500 to 1000°C compared to ca 300°C for double-base propellants.

The Capital Asset Pricing Model and other financial theories around diversification offer useful insights. If I give you a million dollars, you are a fool to invest in venture capital. But if you have a billion dollars, you are a fool if you don t invest in venture capital.

New products are notoriously difficult to model and one of the most sensitive factors in such models is the product s proposed price. Consequently qualitative research is most frequently required to derive pricing models for the market and the product. Many times products have been launched with entirely false... 

The normal method of calculation for company funds is to use the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). This was developed by share analysts keen to have a defence against accusations of negligence in selecting shares for clients as a means of assessing the real value of any share, in the form of risk and desirability. It essentially demonstrates one version of the direct proportionality between risk and return. 

The first is the Cost of Equity. It is defined here as the return that a shareholder expects from the company over a certain period, in terms of dividend and the capital gain from a rise in the stock price. These are the actual expectations of income on which an investor bases his original purchase or reviews his portfolio. The Cost of Equity can be estimated using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).

Another very popular definition of risk is through the risk premium or beta. This is defined as the slope of the curve that gives market returns as a function of S P 500 Index returns in other words, comparing how the investment compares with the market. The concept of beta (the slope of the curve) is part of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) proposed by Lintner (1969) and Sharpe (1970), which intends to incorporate risk into valuation of portfolios and it can also be viewed as the increase in expected return in exchange for a given increase in variance. However, this concept seems to apply to building stock portfolios more than to technical projects within a company.

The minimum interest rate a company should earn on its invested capital is determined by the capital structure of the firm. The firm must earn an adequate return both to support the long-term debt and to compensate the stockholders adequately for their equity investment. This minimum interest rate, Cc, is calculated using the capital asset pricing model and is often referred to as the weighted cost of capital.

For the piuposes of employing option pricing models, the d3mamic behaviour of asset prices is usually described as a function of what is known as a Wiener process, which is also known as Brownian motion. The noise or volatility component is described by an adapted Brownian or Wiener process, and involves introducing a random increment to the standard random process. This is described next.
