 In the managerial decision making, managers
do not know the exact outcome of each
possible course of action.
Indra Prasad Pyakurel
Profit Depends on
Degree of Future
competition
Consumer’s taste
Technological
advancement
Political climate
Others
Indra Prasad Pyakurel
Imperfect knowledge about
determinants of profit creates the
problem of risk or uncertainty.
 Managerial decisions are made under the
various conditions: CERTAINTY, RISK OR
UNCERTAINTY
Indra Prasad Pyakurel
Certainty
Only one
outcome
to
decision
Risk or Uncertainty
More than one
outcomes to decision
Indra Prasad Pyakurel
 Risk is defined as the chance of loss.
 More risky implies more probability of loss
and vice-versa.
 “Risk refers to a situation in which there is
more than one outcome to a decision and the
possibilities of each specific outcome is
known or can be estimated.” DOMINICK
SALVATORE
 For Example: Toss of coin, Investment on Stock , Introducing
New product etc.
Indra Prasad Pyakurel
 Uncertainty is a situation when outcome of
managerial decisions cannot be predicted
with absolute accuracy.
 “Uncertainty is the case when there is more
than one possible outcome to a decision and
where the possibilities of each specific
outcome occurring is not known.” DOMINICK
SALVATORE
 For example: drilling for oil
Indra Prasad Pyakurel
General Risks
1. Business Risk
2. Market Risk
3. Inflation Risk
4. Interest Risk
5. Credit Risk
6. Liquidity Risk
Special Risk
1. Cultural Risk
2. Currency Risk
3. Government policy Risk
4. Expropriation Risk
Indra Prasad Pyakurel
 Higher risk implies higher returns
 It means, taking higher risk causes a greater
expected return.
 More money means more satisfaction,
Mathematically,
 U = f(M)
 Where, U= Utility of an individual
M= Money
Indra Prasad Pyakurel
 1. Risk Averter/Avoider:-
 Diminishing marginal Utility of money
 Upward sloping concave nature utility curve
 Second order derivative will be negative
A person is said to be risk averter if the
increase in utility as money increases is less
than the decrease in utility as money
decreases.
Indra Prasad Pyakurel
 2. Risk Lover/ Risk Seeker
 Increasing marginal Utility of money
 Upward sloping convex nature utility curve
 Second order derivative will be positive
 A person is said to be risk lover if the
increase in utility as money increases is
greater than the decrease in utility as money
decreases.
Indra Prasad Pyakurel
 3. Risk Neutral
 Constant marginal Utility of money
 Upward sloping straight line
 Second order derivative will be zero
 A person is said to be risk lover if the
increase in utility as money increases is equal
to the decrease in utility as money decreases.

 Perfect Competitive Market

Perfect Knowledge about market
Complete information avoids the Uncertainties
underling in economic transaction
Indra Prasad Pyakurel
Imperfect Competitive Market
Incomplete or Asymmetric Information
Incomplete information creates the
Uncertainties or risk underling in
economic transaction
 Asymmetric information, also known as
information failure, occurs when one party
to an economic transaction possesses
greater material knowledge than the other
party. This normally manifests when
the seller of a good or service has greater
knowledge than the buyer, although the
reverse is possible. Almost all economic
transactions involve information
asymmetries.
Indra Prasad Pyakurel
 A good example is when selling a car, the
owner is likely to have full knowledge about
its service history and likelihood to break-
down. The potential buyer, by contrast, will
be in the dark and he may not be able to
trust the car salesman.
 Asymmetric information can lead to adverse
selection, incomplete markets and is a type
of market failure.

 1. Adverse Selection
