The Simulation is an extension to scenario analysis in which a computer provides a distribution of possible outcomes, for example, project NPVs, based on repeated sampling from a distribution associated with one or more input variables in a decision model. (2 words, 1 point for each word, 2 points total)

The of return is the estimated rate (i.e., percentage) that makes the discounted present value of future cash flows equal to the initial investment (2 words, 1 point for each word, up to 2 points).
