The Brazilian citriculture is one of the activities that generate the most income within the agrobusiness, being responsible for providing opportunities for thousands of direct and indirect workers, besides being a sector that moves a great amount of financial resources. The orange crop has been going through great price swings in the recent years, and with this, many farmers are failing to invest in potential, as a result of the risks involved in the activity. A large part of these risks is related to the buyer market, which is controlled by the large juice industries and by the high capital required for the implementation of the new orchards. The objective of this work is to identify the risk factors for attractiveness and to analyze the economic viability of the orange crop in a farm in the municipality of Bauru, in the state of São Paulo. For this, the Monte Carlo method be used to simulate the probabilities of success in the scenarios analyzed and the NPV, IRR and Payback to determine the feasibility of the project. The research is characterized as a case study. The results obtained showed that the investment is feasible, only in the real and optimistic scenario and will provide a return between the 6th and the 7th year of the project, providing a balance of approximately R$ 4,190,252.94 after 10 years of investment which represents an attractive compared to the initial investment value of R$ 937,500.00.

Globalization is a phenomenon that is present in modern society and, with its expansion, it is essential that companies can meet the constant demands of the market, but for this, it is necessary to make the best decisions and deal with various adversities related to the economy, competition, management, among others. The success of investment projects is determined by a set of techniques that must be applied so as not to compromise the viability of the project. When this viability is surrounded by uncertainties, a useful alternative to knowing the risks is the use of the Monte Carlo method. The present work aims to address the risk factors in a company of the furniture sector, using the Monte Carlo simulation to analyze the viability of this project. The methodology adopted was developed from a case study, through an exploratory research. The results showed that the investment project is viable, estimating a return between the 4th and 5th year of the project, in addition, the balance after the 10 years of investment would be around R$ 4,128,211.63, a value that represents 161.25% of the initial investment.

Indonesia is projected to become the world's number four economic power with a demographic bonus. The demographic bonus is obtained from the size of the middle class and the productive age population in Indonesia. With this opportunity, Indonesia has a chance to achieve target number 8 of the SDGs. However, during the current COVID-19 pandemic, the Indonesian economy is experiencing a recession. This can be restored with the contribution of the middle class in increasing sales of ornamental plants which are in great demand by the public during the pandemic. Indra Garden's ornamental plants, located in Pondok Ranji, is one of the MSMEs that sells various types of ornamental plants. The research objective was to predict future sales and profit figures from Indra Garden's ornamental plants. This study uses secondary data with data collection techniques, namely direct interviews from Indra Garden. The data used are sales data caladium of ornamental plants with various species for 1 month in October 2020 using the Monte-Carlo method. Based on simulation using the Monte-Carlo method, the prediction results obtained from the sales of caladium types of ornamental plants are 3 per day in a month. This simulation was carried out 7 times and obtained a prediction of the sales profit of Rp. 4,802,500 with an accuracy rate of 97.41%. Meanwhile, the data examiner using MAPE showed that the prediction error rate was 46.51% so it can be stated that the prediction success was 55.49%. The Monte-Carlo method can predict the sales of ornamental plants in the next period with an accuracy rate of 97.41% and a MAPE of 46.51%. So it can be concluded that the simulation results are accurate and suitable for use in making sales decisions in the future.

This article attempts to adapt the Monte Carlo method to the quantitative risk management of environmental pollution. In this context, the feasibility of stochastic models to quantitatively evaluate the risk of chemical pollution is first discussed and then linked to a case study in which Monte Carlo simulations are applied. The objective of the case study is to develop a Monte Carlo scheme for evaluating the pollution in a lake environment. It is shown that the results can be of interest as they define the risk margins that are important to the sustainability of the ecosystem in general, and human health in particular. Moreover, assessing the environmental pollution with the help of the Monte Carlo method can be feasible and serve the purpose of investigating and controlling the environmental pollution, in the long and short terms.

Family planning aims to minimize birth rates in Indonesia. To conduct socialization, it is carried out to existing fertile couples. Pus is a married couple whose wife is in the range of 15-49 years. Contraception itself consists of 2 periods, namely short and long. Where the pus can choose according to what they want, therefore there is often a lack of stock. Thus it is necessary to predict how many contraceptives are used with a method to be more efficient. The Monte Carlo method is used which is a numerical analysis method that involves a sample of random numbers. Where to use the previous year's data to get the predicted results of the next year in the form of numbers. After passing the simulation series the percentage results have been obtained with an average of over 80%.
