A Case Study on the Valuation of Oil Exploration Firms and Alternative Energy Investments

The objective is to describe a work assignment to understand valuation of oil exploration firms and alternative investments over the 2015 to 2024 time period. The case study follows a two- week process of a decision maker’s analysis of various questions needed by a client. A two- lecture class assignment and discussion with teaching notes and spreadsheet tool is provided for adoption by an instructor in an undergraduate finance course.
