Although risk-adjusted hurdles are the most commonly cited method for accounting for risk (Block, 1997), most firms -59% in the Graham-Harvey (2001) survey -use a single firm-wide discount rate, usually equal to the firm's cost of capital, to evaluate all projects, despite differences in risk (and cost of capital) across projects.

Many firms, especially small firms, continue to use payback period (Graham and Harvey, 2001;Farragher et al, 1999;Block, 1997) to evaluate investment opportunities, neglecting cash flows anticipated to occur beyond five years or an even shorter time horizon. While firms increasingly use discounted cash flow methods (Farragher et al, 1999;Graham and Harvey, 2001;Block, 1997;Del Sol and Ghemawat, 1999), discounted cash flow, 'which should encourage a longer term perspective, tends to discourage .…”
