Overview: This paper develops a valuation model for a firm's investment opportunities. Given standard market imperfections, the paper shows that maximizing the firm's equity value is consistent with the need to include a capital charge for an investment specific to a firm's capital structure and in excess of the investments market determined risk. A reduced form credit risk perspective is taken to enable a continuous time implementation. This continuous time implementation is illustrated within the paper.
