Abstract

The case of Timberline Energy is designed to encourage students to think about an investment decision in the context of value creation. Is the proposed wind-energy project a value-creating investment? Under what circumstances will it be a good investment? Who benefits? Who bears the costs? And what are the implications for public policy? The case is aimed at MBA or advanced undergraduate students of finance who are well-versed in the process of making capital investment decisions. It is designed to be taught in a single 75-minute class period, after 3-4 hours of student preparation. The firms, individuals, and projects described are fictitious, though they are based upon a composite of real-world entities.
