Textbook Question
Chapter 22, Problem 3PS
Real options True or false?
- a. Real-options analysis sometimes tells firms to make negative-
NPV investments to secure future growth opportunities. - b. Using the Black–Scholes formula to value options to invest is dangerous when the underlying investment project would generate significant immediate cash flows.
- c. Binomial trees can be used to evaluate options to acquire or abandon an asset. It’s OK to use risk-neutral probabilities in the trees even when the asset beta is 1.0 or higher.
- d. It’s OK to use the Black–Scholes formula or binomial trees to value real options, even though the options are not traded.
- e. A real-options valuation will sometimes reveal that it’s better to invest in a series of smaller plants rather than a single large plant.
